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!

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!

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.
