Expectations should be limited to what is promised here, and reviews should reflect how we did with these promises. Before submitting your review, please remember to base it on the following criteria and what was promised to be provided for the price paid as follows:
Easy check-in process – You'll be able to self-check in. Kelli will give you check-in details prior to arrival, including a lock box code. You'll be able to access the rental at your leisure after check-in time, at 4pm. We offer early check-in options, if it's available a couple days prior to your arrival for $25-$50, depending on your arrival time.
Great Communication – Kelli is known to be responsive to guests before, during, and after their stay. You can expect prompt responses to your questions. She'll respond to web site messages as soon as she can.
Clean Accommodations – Your private apartment should be sparkling clean.
Great Mendenhall Valley Location – It's a 10 minute walk from the city bus stop and three miles from the famous Mendenhall Glacier which you can get to by car, bike (available for rent at this property) or walking on a paved bike path or gravel trail. You can take the bus for two miles and walk the third mile. This is not a downtown Juneau property. Downtown Juneau is substantially more expensive than the Mendenhall Valley, so this location for the price should not be compared to that of downtown. If you want to be downtown, and don't want to take a 45 minute bus ride to go 16 miles, then this space is not for you.
Accurate Description of the space - I try to make continuous improvements when guests make suggestions and do my best to keep the changes updated and published. If I missed something please let me know, so I can update the information. If you are missing something you were counting on, please let me know immediately, so I can try to provide it for your stay.
Great Value – Juneau is expensive, especially during peak season, and while this is a more affordable option, we understand that it can seem expensive. Part of the value is the ability to rent for only one night and have an additional person. The price fluctuates depending on the season. We have to charge more when the business is there, so that we can afford to have it vacant for long, slow periods.
Have a fantastic trip!

The property was clean, comfortable, located within minutes of hiking, shopping and other excursions, but yet, exclusive. My family would gladly stay their again.
This property checked off all the boxes for what I needed on this trip including being conveniently located to all the services and places I wanted to go. I felt at home immediately and was cozy and comfy my entire stay. I will definitely stay here again!
Great spot to access everything beds were comfortable and the apartment is nice. It needed a better cleaning but we had everything we needed to straighten it out quickly. Thanks we enjoyed our stay.
Very clean unit and all appliances and amenities were in great condition. Kelli was responsive and very helpful with coordinating extensions and late check-out to accommodate us.
The property was as described and very clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. Kelli was quick to communicate and made sure we had everything we needed. The house is spacious and was plenty of room for two adults and two teenagers. If you're considering a house in the area, this is a great one.
Gold Medal 2024 stay. It was a good stay for us. It was nice having 3 bedrooms with all good beds. Once we did the drive 2-3 times it was a good drive. Like most things, things didn't go as planned, but I was super happy with how quickly the response was with the host. When I had a question I sent a text and got answers for my questions
Overall, a good place to stay. Would recommend renting a car if staying in this neighborhood.

Just not what i was used to
If you just need somewhere to sleep. It was ok. The floor was installed on the cheap. There were gaps between the boards. The floorvwas uneven going into the kitchen. My wife is 74 and i was worried she was going to trip and fall. One of the rooms had a dehumidifier in it, which was full when we arrived. After i emptied it it was so loud we had to unplug it because it was so loud. After e
