Located in a quiet neighborhood, convenient to shopping. Unusual floor plan on 3 levels. Ample accommodations for 7 adults, 3 kids, and could have handled more. Lots of bonuses: hot tub, ping pong table, washer/dryer, well-appointed kitchen, children's playroom. Host was helpful and easy to contact.
it was great. We had twelve people range in age 3-71 from three different families. Plus lots of other family over everyday.
House was plenty big with more than enough sleeping space and lots of toys, ping pong table and electronics for teens.
Beautiful deck, Owner was great! She had bear spray and off ready if needed and brought us tables and chairs for the reception at the house.
House was well equipped with everything needed.
Thank you to Shirely

About the host
Hosted by Shirley Sakaye
This is our third summer hosting guests at our home! We’ve learned so much and really enjoy helping visitors unlock the beauty and fun Alaska’s adventures can be.
Why they chose this property
Our home is far enough from busy city noises and distractions to really get to relax, but still close enough to avoid long commutes for essentials like restaurants and shopping. Surrounded by mature trees, our guests enjoy the same peaceful setting that invited our family to purchase it 14 years ago.
What makes this property unique
Extra amenities: outdoor hot tub (purchased new for the 2025 season!), heated kitchen floor, fully outfitted kitchen for chefs and bakers alike, stocked with the essentials you need to get you going upon arrival.
