We absolutely loved our stay here! This has been one of the best rental properties we've stayed at and we're looking forward to coming again. The property was very clean and well equipped for hosting.
Rental had everything we needed, and then some. Appreciated the personal touches and the flexibility provided for our check in/out. Would stay here again.
We had a great stay at this property. Very clean, had great communication with the host, and the view of the mountains was a bonus. The beds were comfortable and the waffle bar was a hit! Would stay here!
I loved the homey vibe of the place! The mluntain view was a bonus! Although I didn't get to meet Jenny in person, she was very accommodating and friendly! The neighborhood was very quiet, perfect for people who just want to be away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
We picked this VRBO for the location and the previous reviews the host has coffee and many other items in place we did not have any instances of wishing for something. The place was very clean neat and the area was quiet and in a great location to get to the base. Parking was great not having to park on the street was very nice. This is either the best VRBO we have had or tied with it I am recommending to everyone that goes to Anchorage.
My husband and I stayed here for a week. The beds are comfortable, with plenty of linen, towels, and washcloths; the couch is comfortable, and it is nice that we can sign in and watch Netflix and other streaming. They did have cable, and it was great to have options to watch TV. They have a Pac-Man game that includes Dig Dug. They have a coffee and waffle bar. They had Kleenex, extra toilet paper, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. There is even a carport to keep the snow off your vehicle.
We also needed to extend our stay one day, and the owners were able to accommodate us. they have so many small touches, and you can tell the owners absolutely care about the guests. The neighborhood was safe and quiet.
We did little cooking during our stay, but the kitchen appeared fully stocked, and they did have an electric water pot for tea. This VRBO is one of our favorite VRBOs. We can not say enough great things about this place and the owners are quick to communicate with you.
This place was perfect for the 4 of us to use as our base in Anchorage. It was clean and cozy with everything you needed. It is also close to shopping and restuarants.

Loved our stay. We plan to stay again, the next time we are in Anchorage.
We have stayed at many places over the years. Never have we stayed at a place that had anticipated our every need and want! Location was great for getting around town quickly. Quiet neighborhood.
