Your Home Away From Home

Cozy private bedroom with bath in the lower level of our home’s daylight basement. Access is through a side gate, down a short set of steps, and along a pathway to your private entrance. Please note—the walkway has a slight slope and may not be easily accessible for guests with limited mobility.

The bedroom features a queen-size with a memory foam mattress and adjustable base, plus a full-size sofa bed for up to 2 additional guests, allowing a maximum of 4 guests total. *A $25 /night booking fee will be added to your cost for each additional guest over 2 people.

A small kitchenette is provided for your convenience, equipped with a mini refrigerator, microwave, dishes, utensils, and complimentary coffee and tea. Please note there are no other cooking surfaces available.

Enjoy a Smart TV with internet access in the bedroom, free guest WiFi, and a private sauna to unwind at the end of the day. Guests also have use of a game room and lounge area, as well as direct access to the private backyard.

Our home is located in a peaceful residential cul-de-sac, close to the U-Med district, shopping, movie theaters, bike trails, parks, and Cheney Lake Park.

We share our home with one dog and one cat, but they do not have access to guest areas. The staircase to the upstairs is separated by curtains at both ends and a locked security gate behind the upstairs curtain for everyone’s peace of mind. The bedroom is located below our kitchen, so you may hear occasional kitchen activity, though we do our best to keep noise to a minimum.

We look forward to welcoming you and making your stay as comfortable, relaxing, and memorable as possible.

Yvette's place was amazing! It was super clean, affordable, and in a quiet and safe residential neighborhood. The coffee and tea were appreciated and the huge place includes a beautiful game room and a sauna. The black-out curtains helped us sleep at night even though it was still very light outside at 11:30 pm. Check-in was very easy and Yvette was responsive. I would recommend a car if staying here, although car rental prices for the weekend were astronomical so we opted to do a $22 uber ride to/from the airport. There is a bus that gets you from the neighborhood directly into downtown, which is where we spent the majority of our time. Bus rides are $2 each way and the bus came on time according to their published schedule. The residents say "thank you" to the bus driver when they get off. That was nice to witness and we followed suit. There is a major supermarket with a deli department within walking distance where we could stock up on snacks. We also enjoyed the trail in the neighborhood that runs right along a creek. We would stay here again!

A cozy stay

A great stay that is super close to a main road meaning we could get to most places we wanted to go within 30mins or less. The inclusion of bathroom items that may have been forgotten was a wonderful touch. It was a wonderful place and I'm glad we stayed here.

Lovely place to stay!!

Beautiful place in a wonderful, safe, neighborhood. Looks even better than the pictures. Huge space, yet still nice and cozy. Humongous bathroom with extra-large shower. Delightful hosts who were very responsive while still giving us all the privacy we wanted. Definitely would love to stay here again!!

Great stay

The check in and check out process was seamless. The location were great and the place was exceptionally clean. Kiddos really enjoyed the old school arcade games and we enjoyed a few games of pool. Close to restaurants and served as a good base for day trips from Anchorage. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful space, great getaway

Great stay with great hosts, had a blast at their place. Clearly geared to making the guest experience great with the sauna, pool table, and games. Only hesitancy to suggesting to all family/friends was that the heating system right above bedroom (we think it was the baseboards at least) was loud kicking on upstairs woke us up many times. Outside of that it was an amazing location and stay.

Great location

Perfect location in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. Easy access to both the Glenn and Seward Hwy's, and also Elmendorf (I went up for the Arctic Thunder air show). Although I didn't use the sauna, arcade games or pool table, the place was roomy, spotless and had a comfy adjustable bed and a great bathroom. A large grocery store was also a very short drive. I would definitely make this my home base for a future stay.

My husband and I loved staying here! Yvette and her family did an amazing job with the living space. It looked just like the pictures. It was clean, had plenty of extra amenities like coffee, a bed that can be adjusted with a remote control, walk-in closet, and many more! She communicated where to park and how to enter the house very clearly. She was very kind to let us borrow a cooler that we requested to take food on some day trips. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back on any future trips. Thank you to you and your family, Yvette!

Nice place but lacks security

The property was clean and well appointed. However, it is the basement of an occupied home. As such, you enter through a private door in the rear of the property. The problem was there was no walkway for the first part of the walk back. You need to be prepared to carry you bag across the grass as it would not roll. Then, once you’re through the gate you have stepping stones which were not much better. Once inside, you are required to take your shoes off. Finally, the bedroom was comfortable and clean, but there was no way to lock the door. This would not be as big an issue, except the only separation between the occupied upstairs was a staircase with a curtain at top and bottom. If I were a single woman I would not feel comfortable staying here. I suggest installing a door to the stairs and/or proper locks to the sleeping area.

Nice secluded rental

Great place to stay. Relaxed and peaceful. This is a basement rental of a family home. It was nice to Come back to rental and relax. While there was the occasional pitter patter of dog paws and cat hops . It didn’t bother me one bit. I rarely heard the homeowner and when I did it wasn’t that loud. After all, I was in their home. Great place for a pit stop for my excursions around anchorage for the week. Hosts were kind and friendly when I did see them. Would definitely stay here again.
