We stayed at this property for a few days as a base for exploring the area. The house was top notch in comfort and convenience. The views are absolutely unbelievable. So many extras were furnished for our stay- soaps, coffee filters and creamers, paper goods, etc. we really appreciated those touches. Highly recommend this rental!!
We loved this house and didn't want to leave. The porch with the view was incredible!!! My daughter also wanted to take home the St. Bernard! The house was fabulous, and we would have liked to have stayed about 2 more weeks and cook in the kitchen and enjoy family time in the family room. We appreciate your hospitality so much!!
Our family of 6 stayed in this lovely home for one week. It was the perfect home base for all of our excursions. It is about 20 minutes from downtown Anchorage, which means it is very quiet! The beds are comfy, and the sheets are soft as butter! I have insomnia but I slept so well in Alaska! The home is nicely appointed with necessities and the host is prompt to reply and provide help. I was so impressed with the care the owner gave us. We would absolutely recommend staying.
If you are busy researching where to stay during your Alaskan adventure, look no further. This is a beautiful, spacious, clean and comfortable house. The view is stunning both day and night. The house is conveniently located to Anchorage and to grocery and staple shopping. It also makes a central base to take day trips, with Hope, Seward, and Talkeetna all within a 2-3 hour drive. The house comfortably slept 8 adults and teens and a toddler with room to spare. We highly recommend.
We had our best family vacation ever, and this home was the perfect place for our 3 generations to stay! It was not just clean and comfortable, our host made sure we had everything we needed. When our incoming flight was delayed by 14 hours, she made sure that we not only had amazing coffee and tea set ups, but breakfast essentials too. She went above and beyond for us.
The views were unbelievable, with both water and mountains. In the course of the stay, we saw moose and a bear family on the mountain. The family saint Bernard was also such a welcome addition! We loved her so much!
Our family will return to Anchorage and we honestly can’t imagine staying anywhere else. Thank you for sharing your home.
Gwen was the best host! All needs were met but the views they were over the top amazing. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend booking your stay now!
Beautiful and comfortable house located in the outskirts of Anchorage. Quiet, scenic and abundant wildlife. In the drive to town we saw moose, porcupine, and bear all enjoying their wilderness home. Lovely time with family. Hope to return someday.
If you are looking for a beautiful view, this property is spectacular!!! The host was very responsive and helpful for all of our questions. The property was pretty clean but could use some updating and more chairs in the main room. We were very fortunate to have had great weather so we were out on the deck most of the time!
This place was terrific. Would absolutely stay again. The owners were very responsive when a very minor thing came up. It was taken care of immediately with great communication.
Absolutely an amazing stay. We went to Whittier, Exit Glacier. Seward was my favorite. Climbing Alyeska past the tram was absolutely gorgeous. Hiked the little peaks at Turnagain Arm. The beauty of Alaska is majestic. Absolute MUST see ❤️
This home was perfect for our family (3 generations, 9 people). Listing and pictures are very accurate. The home is clean and spacious and the views are absolutely incredible. Our only downside (not a fault of the owner) is that is takes 20 minutes minimum to get anywhere due to being up in the hills. The views make up for it! Just an FYI for consideration on what you hope to do from the house.
We saw black bears roaming around and a moose just up the hill. The toys provided were awesome for the kids and we loved the huge dining table to be able to eat together with space for everyone.

Beautiful views, lots of space, close to trails and attractions in Anchorage
Very happy with this home. We had 8 people in our group and everyone had plenty of room. Having three full bathrooms was a plus! The views were spectacular from their deck and the home was conveniently located to Anchorage, stores and attractions. The owner had family who lived on the bottom floor and they were very helpful when we wanted advice for places to go. Only minor suggestion is my kids said their bedroom was a bit hot at night and they had no way to cool down. My husband and I stay in the master bedroom which had a fan and were very comfortable. Having a fan in all bedrooms would be a great addition to a wonderful place to stay. Would stay here again!!!!

Beautiful Alaska Setting
This property was as represented on VRBO. There were plenty of bedrooms, beds, bedding, baths, towels (needs more towel racks), kitchen ware, dishes, tableware, table places for our party of 13. The laundry room was a great boost. There was plenty of expansion room inside and outside on the spacious adjoining deck so there wasn't a sense of being crowded. The view of Cook Inlet and the mountains beyond was spectacular and the location gave a certain feel of Alaska. We were surprised however to learn on arrival that a family of four occupy the lower level which together with their visitors created a periodic parking squeeze. Overall though a good place for our family reunion.
Family of 10 ages 23 to 75…room for all..loved this property well stocked..Beautiful Views… close to all the activities we had planned!! Thank you for letting us stay!!
We had a group of 9 stay at the home. There was plenty of room and it was very nice for us. The views are amazing. We had originally booked the entire week and then shortened to a couple days to stay in other towns. That was a mistake, we should have spent the entire week here and did day trips to the other locations. This is a very nice property and I would rent again.
This property is everything you could want. Plenty of space for multiple families, very clean, great outside area/deck, and amazing views! Only a short drive to Anchorage for supplies and restaurants and very convenient to the Steward highway. Owner was great to deal with. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing accommodations for a large group.
So many different spaces made this the perfect place for a weird mix of acquaintances, friends and family to stay for a week while in Anchorage for a summer wedding. Alone time, quiet time, game time and party time could all happen simultaneously. And the deck views are amazing!
The property was excellent for our family group. We had a wonderful stay and the views were fabulous. The family had a great time during our stay in Anchorage.
Gwen Adams provided our family (6 adults, 3 children) with the best possible experience during our stay in Anchorage. The view is spectacular. Our three grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed playing games in the separate media room. Thank you for making our visit a wonderful memory!
