Great cozy space in Anchorage

Stayed here with a group of 5 friends. Fun, quirky place. Plenty of beds & bedrooms. Recommend downstairs bedrooms as the sun sets quite late and some light does get in.

Great location for a reasonable fee.

We loved the location and the amount of space. Beds were comfortable. We wish there would have been enough chairs, dishes, and towels for our entire group. Just be aware extra people beyond six are charged an additional fee.

Easy Walk to Conferences

This was a perfect place to stay while attending an Anchorage Conference. Instead of booking several hotel rooms, we decided to book this house. It has plenty of room, parking and we were able to discuss the different sessions we were attending. This will definitely be our go-to place for future conferences--and for play!

On route to cruise from Whitier

Had 3 days in Alaska before our cruise. Large house with good amenities and good location for downtown. Some work needed to repair window frames which offset the otherwise very good experience. Very comfortable. Excellent host who was in regular contact

Just what we needed

A 4.5 overall rating (not available) was our preference. This property has the perfect cabin feel, fitting our Alaskan family trip. Our group consisted of 4 people coming from 3 different states. We felt right at home with plenty of space, a clean kitchen with ample supplies and a central location to town. Our rating would be 5 if not for minor ommissions to the listing. Entrance was only through 1 door, a detail not disclosed in the listing. And not all bedroom windows opened. Aside from these, we definitely recommend this property.

Missed potential

This house has the potential to be awesome, but is ruined by its condition and cleanliness. The first thing that strikes you upon entering is the smell. It smells as if it has been sealed up for years with no fresh air. Very musty smelling. After you get used to the smell, it’s hard to ignore the wall to wall shag carpet that is throughout the house, or the fact that every piece of furniture in the living room has holes in it.

Short Stay between Denalie and Seward

Spent a couple of nights here on our way from Denali/Talkeetna to Seward. The house was old but nice. The downstairs is a little dark and maybe not ideal for anyone who struggles with stairs as they are pretty steep. My only real complaint was the kitchen was not clean. The refrigerator still had food left in it from previous travelers and needed a good cleaning. There seemed to be a little confusion about when we were coming so maybe that contributed to this. Got to meet and speak to the owner who was extremely nice and helpful. I would stay here again, but please clean the kitchen a little better.

Great Location but House Needs some Work

We saw this listing and were excited to stay based on the reviews. We understood that the house was older and we were fine with that. When we arrived, we saw two exterior windows broken and boarded up with particle board, we also saw window trim ripped off walls and placed behind the loungers in the living room, and the house was just not clean. We found our bathroom towels in the dryer on the last day we were there. It looked like the house had some leaks in the walls and the downstairs toilet didn’t flush. This house could be super nice but definitely needs some work.its in a great location, close to downtown and the host was very responsive.

Great cost effective spot close to downtown

Bob was able to book us relatively last minute and was a great host. He popped by to make sure we were settled. The house is what it is, and definitely isn’t “modern”. That said, it had everything we needed. The stairs are a little steep and are definitely “of the era”. There’s a few low doorways to get to the downstairs which could be tough for people with mobility challenges or small children. The house could easily sleep up to 8 and has plenty of space for cooking and hosting a larger group. Of note there is not a large dining table (it’s also not shown in the pictures) but as long as you aren’t hoping yo sit 8 around the table there’s very few places that can beat this place for cost and space in Anchorage!
