About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family Friendly 1,000 sq. ft. Basement Apartment

Enjoy the Alaskan experience in a quiet, wooded neighborhood just 10 minutes from shopping, fast food, or ocean and mountain views and trail heads. Keep an eye out for wildlife such as moose, lynx, rabbits, squirrels and birds.

When you are at the apartment enjoy many family games and toys for infants through elementary age kids. No need to carry a bunch of stuff with you.

Full kitchen is stocked with baking items and amenities for cooking your own meals. You can even contract for me to pick up your groceries ahead of time for you at Costco and Walmart.

There is one large bedroom with a king size bed, with room to set up a Pack and Play or crib mattress. The shared space in the living room has a queen and a full size sofa sleeper. For kids and teens there is a special kid cave (4 ft. high) with a queen mattress. (Adults have been opting to sleep in the cave too, for a little more privacy.) We can sleep you and your extended family and friends very economically.

On the same property we have an additional apartment available. If you are traveling with a large group of up to 14, consider renting both spaces. 4-6 guests can sleep in this newly renovated apartment adjoining our house. (Search under Quiet Apartment in the Woods.)

Great location, great beds, and great cinnamon roles
My group of four loved staying at Happy's place. It is a shared home with 3 different properties to rent. We were in the basement, and there was some noise from the group who stayed on the main floor. When I told Happy, she was incredibly kind and handled the situation for us with no issue. Plenty of room for 4 adults and a full kitchen to make life easy. We would stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay and had literally all you could need! I didn't realize she would bring Spaghetti and other food if you asked she is pretty great!

We only stayed for two nights before moving on to other areas of the state, but this property was a great first stop. Convenient from Anchorage, ample space for our family of four and a friendly host.

our stay
VRBO was very nice, clean, and quiet. Located in a gorgeous, wooded setting. Accomodations were one bedroom with a sleeping alcove for children or agile young people. There were comfortable fold out beds in two couches for extra sleeping space. Our host was very gracious and we would certainly stay there again.

Incredible place for a family
This listing exceeded my expectations. It is even nicer and more comfortable in person. It is HARD to find a reasonably priced place that can accommodate our 5 small children, let alone a place that actually is made to WELCOME them. This place is stocked with child-friendly toys, dishes and utensils, and sleeping spaces. Happy was so kind and allowed us a late checkout after a crazy busy trip the day before. I would 100% stay here again and recommend this listing to others. I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy with a VRBO house before.

We found the property well cared for, the owner attentive of our needs, and the location minutes away from most things but private. We were even able to see a moose and her calf in the neighborhood. Our only problem was we didn't realize just what the second bedroom was- the cave- but it worked out well enough for our 2 night stay, and all 8 in our party were accomidated by the beds available.
