Secluded hillside getaway

This spacious and secluded house on a private road in Anchorage, AK, was an absolute gem. After a long journey, finding a beer in the refrigerator was a delightful touch. The house provided ample space for my family of four, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. A resident moose added a unique charm to the property. The huge kitchen, cozy dining area, and back deck were perfect for family time and outdoor grilling. The fully stocked amenities, incredibly comfortable beds, and blackout curtains ensured a restful stay. The overall vibe of the house was fantastic. We highly recommend this home & will be staying here again on our next trip to AK!!

Great experience

The home was awesome. We had gone up for a church group event. The home is huge, everyone was able to spread out and have their own space and yet had large common areas for socializing. It had been snowing quite a bit which made the location magical

Great house in a quiet neighborhood

I started in the house together with my colleagues for about five weeks, when we needed to work in Anchorage. There is a lot of space in the house and comfortable bed rooms for five persons who don't want to share a room. It was very easy to communicate with the host and he helped us with a lot of things.

4 generation Alaska vacation

We rented this property as our home base for the 4 generation family vacation, and it was perfect! SO much space to spread out and have our privacy, as well as the large family get together areas. Loved everything about this home.

Quiet, large home

House was perfect for our group of three couples for a week. There's plenty of space to spread out and have privacy and also gathering places to enjoy as a group. We loved the kitchen for breakfast and coffee every morning. It's a super quiet location and easy access to all of Anchorage. Owner promptly responded when contacted. It feels like you're stepping into the 80's when you're in the house, but it's super clean and comfortable.

Semi- secluded house south Anchorage

Great house, very large, beautiful rooms. Couldn’t ask for a better representation of an Alaskan home. We had a large owl that visited us from time to time. We were close to some great hiking trails in the Chugach park and views of Anchorage. Also easy access to all parts of Anchorage. Downtown was about 15- 20 minutes away. The owners were easy to communicate with and answered questions promptly. Overall we felt like we were in Alaska and not the city of Anchorage.

Good for large group

Beautiful house. Older and needs some TLC but comfortable for the 6 of us. A few minor inconveniences that could have been avoided if the house had been inspected and prepared for our arrival. The major problem (no hot water) was very promptly attended to but it does take hours for the tank to heat so no baths or showers after a long day of travel. Had we known we would not be able to use the fireplaces due to a down draft problem, we may have reconsidered our booking. Overall, considering we basically just used it as a place to sleep, it suited our needs.

Great location!

House was amazing, more than we expected, this is a very large home and very comfortable. Great location, very easy to get to almost anywhere you want to be in Anchorage. Could not be happier with this house and as a bonus we saw 3 moose go thru the yard and feed on the vegatation, a mother and 2 calves!!!

Alaska Wedding Week

Check in was easy. The place was amazing. Fantastic amount of space. As read on previous reviews the place was somewhat outdated in the decorations. That did not bother me. The place seemed nice & clean. Also the view was not comparable to another BNB that we stayed at. But did eat all meals out on the patio enjoying the backyard. I loved the place and would definitely stay again if ever in Anchorage again.

Peaceful Privacy

This is a fantastic home with lots of space for whoever you may be vacationing with. The owner is responsive and I enjoyed several conversations with him. The house is a little dated but is very fairly priced considering this. The location can't be beat. 2.5 acres of privacy but just a couple minutes onto the Seward Highway. I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect for Us

This beautiful older home was elegant, spacious, and perfect for our group of one old couple, 3 single adults, and 2 teenagers. The grandkids called it a "mansion." All adults had their own bedroom, and 3.5 bathrooms meant nobody had to "wait." The location was excellent, with easy access to the airport or Old Seward Hwy which we took several times - to Girdwood, Whittier, Seward, and Homer. (Or once we headed north to Palmer.) Bob was an excellent host, giving us our privacy, but readily available to promptly fix any (minor) issues that came up... plus providing "service beyond the call of duty" when an item was left behind. Thank you, Bob, for sharing your beautiful home! It was perfect for our needs as we enjoyed the comfort of "Tudor Hills."

Lots of room with a bit of a check in snafu

We were in town for a funeral of a family member and the house was ideal for providing a lot of space for the family -- also with three different areas to congregate on top of 2 large dining areas. . It is close a nice part of town across from the zoo. We ended up getting into town as communicated to the owner though and had not been given the code for the keypad. Several of us congregated by the front door frantically trying to call the number provided as we needed to change for the viewing of our loved one-- no answer. A Google search allowed us to reach the owner who was out of town and provided us the necessary code. It is possible the snafu was on our end, but after over 15 VRBO stays, this isn't something we'd experienced before!

Clean accommodations with plenty of sleeping room

Check in/out easy. Very clean, yes NO shoes inside the home. During this trip stayed in two other properties before this one. As a MORNING COFFEE DRINKER WHILE GETTING READY was very happy the others had a variety of coffee creamers & tea. "Little EXTRAS to make us feel welcome ". This one had none of these. Hard to shop when not familiar with area or shop not close by. Could use some modernizing.

The winters are spent mainly in Florida avoiding the cold snowy weather they have enjoyed all those years. They maintain a small apartment over the garage at said property for when they are in Anchorage.
