About this property

Midnight Sun Retreat - Close to Trails, Shopping

This home is a sunlit retreat with beautiful furnishings and decor. Enjoy the attention to detail and comfort in this modern duplex-style home, professionally cleaned before your arrival!

Ideally located in a quiet neighborhood in Southeast Anchorage, it is a 3-minute drive from trails, grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants. It's also close to Hilltop Ski Area and the Alaska Zoo.

The kitchen is stocked with everything you'll need to cook/bake. Enjoy coffee or meals in the quiet, fully-fenced backyard. Perfect for couples, families, or groups.

* Thoughtfully Prepared for Your Arrival*
* Professionally Cleaned Between Guests*

When entering the home (lower level), you will find a cozy living space with large windows that let in natural light, a well-appointed kitchen, a charming dining area with sliding doors leading to the backyard, and a convenient half-bathroom with a full-sized washer and dryer.

The fully equipped, upgraded kitchen is perfect for groups, couples, families, and fishing enthusiasts. It comes stocked with bakeware, cookware, and an array of dishes to ensure you have everything you need to prepare your meals should you choose to do so!

The cozy living area has comfortable furniture and light from the two picture windows and sliding doors, all offering views of the peaceful, fully-fenced back yard. We also provide an outdoor table and chairs so you can enjoy your favorite beverage or meal during the warmer months.

Stay connected with high-speed wifi and two smart TVs with streaming and local stations via a digital antenna. Whether you're lounging in the living room or relaxing in the primary bedroom, you can easily log in to your favorite streaming channel and enjoy your favorite shows.

All three bedrooms are upstairs, and the full bathroom is stocked with fluffy towels and shower necessities. The primary bedroom has a convenient door leading directly to the bathroom. You'll find blackout blinds in each bedroom, perfect for those long Alaskan summer days!

Families are welcomed with toddler dishes, a pack-n-play crib, and a high chair.

A PERFECT LOCATION
With keyless entry, your arrival is a breeze, day or night. It's nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac near a lower hillside, this home has a fully fenced back yard featuring a small deck, table and chairs, spruce and birch trees, and a few raspberry bushes. It is a zero-lot-line home, styled as a duplex, and the neighbors, who have called this place home for 20+ years, are extremely quiet. Although the walls are mostly soundproof, we ask that if you and your guests are not the quiet and respectable types, reconsider this home or agree to be respectful and considerate during your stay.

**Explore Nearby Trails**

This home is ideally situated in Anchorage. You can access local trailheads within minutes, such as Abbott Loop Community Park Trailhead and the beautiful 4000-acre preserved area. These well-maintained trails offer delightful walking, biking, or cross-country skiing opportunities, and you might even catch a glimpse of local wildlife. It's a slice of wilderness that feels worlds away from Anchorage.

**Convenience!**

This home sits just 2-3 minutes from local shopping hubs, including Fred Meyer, the Dimond Mall, Carrs/Safeway, along with a variety of restaurants, the Alaska Zoo, the Anchorage Golf Course, Hilltop Ski Area, and horseback riding. The drive to the airport and downtown is a short 10-minute drive. Whether you seek a tranquil retreat or a launching pad for adventure, this home is perfectly situated to meet your needs.

DEDICATION TO CLEANLINESS
This home undergoes professional cleaning during each guest's stay to ensure a pristine and welcoming environment.

We would love to host your stay and provide a comfortable and memorable Anchorage experience!

Sincerely, Lynette

You will have the entire house to yourselves! You may arrive anytime with a keyless entry lock.

I am always just a call or message away to answer any questions! If necessary, I can also stop by since we live in Anchorage.

Cozy Home Away from Home
I enjoyed a wonderful stay at this property. I was visiting Anchorage to watch my son in an athletic competition. We had two adults in our party and the home was perfect for us (but certainly could have accommodated more people). The home was perfectly clean and organized. It had everything we needed and more. The neighborhood was quiet and ideally located for our activities. I would not hesitate to rent this home again. Lynette was wonderful to work with. An ideal host!

Comfortable, clean, homey feel
We really appreciate the privilege of staying in Lynette's lovely townhouse. It was exceptionally clean, well-stocked and comfortably roomy for the three of us. Location is good, with quick access to major routes, a plus if interested in day trips to the mountains or towns like Seward and Whittier. Lynette is an excellent host and quick to answer questions. The little touches in the home - snacks, coffee, laundry soap - were very much appreciated. Her welcome book is thorough and an excellent resource. Can tell Lynette cares about her guests. Thanks Lynette!

Good base on the south side
Clean & well decorated. Tons of vehicles in the cul-de-sac location, which makes it look less than wonderful, but we had no issues with noise or anything odd; never felt remotely concerned. Saw a moose right by the road a stone's throw away from the house (and her calf back in the woods behind her). Just used this house as a base for exploring the area and everything we wanted to see ended up being south of Anchorage, so the south-side location was great (not that Anchorage is a huge city). We only had 3 folks total, so the one shower wasn't a problem. Happy with the house!

From beginning to end, this home is an ideal location. It is in a nice community. The lock is secure, and we never felt unsafe. Immaculately clean, and I don’t say this lightly. Well supplied with items that I hadn’t brought along, like a hair dryer & sewing kit. The owner’s guidance was very helpful for activity planning.

About the host

Hosted by Lynette

Host profile image
**Welcome!**

This home was my very first home purchase. The location, the neighborhood, and the space all resonated with me, and it still carries sentimental value to this day 😊.

Inspired by my appreciation for what makes a vacation rental comfortable and exceptional, I decided to transform this property into a welcoming space for guests. Together with my husband, we've updated the space, furnished it, and stocked it to make the place feel like home.

Hand-picking each piece of furniture and decor has been a joy as I strive to create a space filled with thoughtful details that will make your stay both comfortable and memorable.

In addition to this home, we have two other vacation rentals in Anchorage and two condos in beautiful southern Utah. These properties have been equally infused with those special touches. It's this passion for hospitality that drove us to extend the same level of care to our visitors in Anchorage.

We love sharing this home with those exploring Alaska and providing an extraordinary stay that will leave you with cherished memories. We hope to host your stay when visiting Anchorage!
Sincerely, Lynette

Why they chose this property

This home is located on the desired south side of Anchorage. The neighborhood consists of longtime residents in a quiet cul-de-sac with a mix of families and children.

The proximity to trails, restaurants, and shopping makes your stay extremely convenient. It’s just minutes from local sightseeing, hopping on the highway to head north or south, and just 10-15 minutes from the airport.

What makes this property unique

The fenced backyard backs up to a small wooded area, providing a private feel. Enjoy coffee or meals at the outdoor table during the warmer months!

~ PLEASE NOTE ~

* Please review our house rules and rental agreement before booking to ensure this home is a good fit for you! If you are looking to have a party or gathering, or the rules do not fit the purpose of your stay, please explore other vacation rentals.
