Visit was mostly pleasant. Would have been 5 stars except for a few handyman type fixes that detracted from the experience. The bedroom doors stuck to the point that it was difficult to close the doors without waking kids. Kitchen chairs were wobbly/loose. Would have liked a dishrag in the kitchen.Other than the few things though, this was an excellent visit.

Perfect overnight location for family in Anchorage

We stayed at this rental for one night as it was the closest affordable option near the airport in Anchorage for a large family. It was perfect for this purpose! We appreciated the open layout of the living room and kitchen. The pull out couch and two bedrooms provided plenty of space for us to spread out. We appreciated the quiet neighborhood and location!

Great Spot – Convenient and Cozy

This place was exactly what we needed—cozy, clean, and super convenient. Our group was attending a nearby Boy Scout summer camp just a mile away, and it was a perfect home base for quick trips to do laundry and take hot showers. It only took about 5 minutes to get where we needed to be, which made everything incredibly easy. We really appreciated having a comfortable place to recharge during a busy week. Would definitely recommend for anyone needing a convenient stay in the area!

The upstairs home was cozy and welcoming. I booked it for 4 adults and 2 children for 2 nights, they provided 1 1/2 rolls toilet paper and 1/3 rolls paper towels. If you stay here bring your own paper products, coffee cups as theirs are only decorative and entertainment. Tv only works about 2 hours per day. You share the property with multiple tenants, but it was quiet.

Nice family spot for the night

This spot worked out well for our family of 5. There are two beds and to pull-out couches/futons. The futon was a bit firm and could use an optional foam mattress cover. The host was friendly and helpful! The location was quiet, peaceful and felt safe. We would stay again.

Quiet neighborhood, beautiful views, perfect choice for our group of 3. Property was well stocked with everything we needed. The lock box system was genius as we didn’t always have the same plans. Affordable and quaint . We will be back! Thanks Jacob and Kate

We stayed at this house on our way from Anchor Point to Denali, so it was a brief stop. It absolutely does not have space for 8 people despite being listed for 8. It is missing a double bed in one of the bedrooms. We could not find enough blankets for the 6 people in our group. The eating space is one tiny table with 3 stools and a small bar area that has 3 chairs. Thankfully, we were eating in shifts anyway. Otherwise, the house was clean and had easy check in/check out.

Was a nice place to get out of the city and be near some great nature activities. Overall the apartment was clean and a good experience. Only thing is that there needs to be more bedding and extra blankets. Comforter was really thin and it was cold and rainy so would be nice to have extra blankets. TV wasn't connected to any service so the only thing you could use it for was to cast something from a phone. That's not a big deal for us though since we didn't come to Alaska to watch TV.

Chris is frustrated because we charged him as he broke and stole a handful of items from the house. They left the place with food, garbage, and stains all over the place. (Carpet, sink, bedrooms, etc) We can confirm that there absolutely is coffee in more than one variety, the tv works great, outlets all work, etc. Do not host Chris in your home.

Antiquated

Overall, this place served our vacation purpose. However, the master bedroom bedspread had stains on it. The pillows had to be 30 years old and flat. Not enough blankets per room. There was only a 1/2 roll of toilet paper, and we had to go to the store on day one. One dangerous issue is the fact the front porch light doesn't work and a slip and fall issue is very real.

False advertisement

The listing says house to stay in but there are tenants below you. The bedding is not clean , there were very poor amenties provided including only a half roll of toilet paper. There is black mold on the window that has a large crack in it. The entire upstairs unit smells of mildew. The quality of living for how much is charged is extremely unreasonable. We will be contacting vrbo.

While we welcome all recommendations on how we can improve, this is a fake review. Ashley is angry at as us we charged her for broken and missing items. To retaliate against us she left us a negative review. Make sure not to steal anything from the house and we wont charge you next time.

Very disappointed with this property. Luckily we were only booked for one night and just needed a place to sleep. There is a lot of equipment in the kitchen but not sure if anything works, as we did not try to use anything as it did not look very clean. The coffee pot (one of three coffee makers) had dried coffee in it. Everything looks very well worn. The description of the property is accurate but it really doesn't say much. As an example, there is a dishwasher at the property with no racks and is unusable - the listing does not say there is a dishwasher. The listing says dryer, but there actually is a washer - I am assuming it does not work (we did not try to use it). I would not stay here again or recommend this place for a long stay.
