We loved everything! Hosts are wonderful. Location is near earthquake park - great place to catch a view of a moose or two. Large backyard with a grill and lovely neighborhood with well kept lawns and flowers. Remodeled kitchen and bath- comfortable beds. Highly recommend!
This place was absolutely amazing. Very clean, large back yard for our dog. Very nice neighborhood, close to lots of walking trails (The Coastal Trail in a very scenic). Also, everything we needed was right there. Owners checked in to make sure all was good. I have nothing bad to say about this place. Check-in/out was a breeze. I highly recommend staying here. We will definitely stay again when we’re in Anchorage again.
We absolutely loved this rental. It was just as pictured, so cozy and clean. The beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed the gas firepit in the large fenced in yard. The updated bathroom and kitchen were a nice touch. Whether you're seeking a retreat or a base for Alaskan adventures, this home is sure to exceed your expectations! The hosts were wonderful and went above and beyond. They responded quickly to our requests and even offered up ideas for us to try. Thank you so much for making our stay amazing.

About the host
Hosted by Andrew and Mary Hansen
Mary and I have been married for 31 years. we came to Alaska 31 years ago. we love west anchorage the most. raised two kids who are now young adults. We came across this property and felt it would be a great retirement home and didn't want to pass it up. we are about 10 years away from retirement so we jumped on it, but in the mean time, we hope everyone loves it.
Why they chose this property
We have lived in this neighborhood for 23 years. We get a longer summer on this side of town. it is always a little warmer. The coastal trail is minutes away. Its is 11 miles long, so you can travel to almost anywhere in town you would like.

You do not find many back yards with this much sun. nice fenced area for pets and kids.
