Alaskan lodge-like living - 15 min to city - 5 min to great hikes

This is our fourth year doing VRBO and we are looking forward to meeting you. The house is special for many reasons; read our reviews and hear from others. If privacy and outdoor charm are important to you; this is the place for you! We built this home and take pride in the details, down to the art work in each of the 4 bedrooms. The master bedroom has french doors that open to a deck that is a perfect for taking in coffee at sunrise. The Caribou Room, Goat Room, and Whale room have wonderful views and are set apart from the Master Bedroom. Our reviews rate our private setting, evenings around the fire pit and wide porches as our best amenities. Book your Alaskan get-away and see what the good life in Alaska has to offer.

Beautiful and peaceful wrapped in a truly Alaskan ambiance. Sit on a covered front porch and watch moose waltz across the park-like lawn. More than 2 1/2 acres of peaceful, quiet solitude. You are on your own on the mid-hillside area of Anchorage literally within 10 minutes of all the hiking, shopping and fine dining you or your guests can enjoy. Secluded backyard fire pit patio and huge wraparound front porch. Watch the chickens meander around and grab fresh eggs every morning. Enjoy the wildlife mounted inside including brown bear, caribou, king salmon and Alaskan mountain goat. World-class hiking, mountain biking and running trails across the street at Hilltop recreation area.

Amazing place to stay!

This property was an amazing place to stay durning our vacation to Anchorage! The host were so accommodating for us and also gave us many recommendations to make our trip the best! The house definitely became our home away from home! It was so cozy and tucked away just enough where you had your own space but still close to town! We definitely would stay here again and would recommend this place to anyone traveling here!

Incredible home and grounds - couldn’t have asked for more

We enjoyed this rental so much that we almost forgot we were vacationing to tour Alaska, and not just this lovely home. Very easy check in, communication with owners, well equipped and very clean. We had a warm welcome from the chickens and my daughter fell in love with the coop and gardens. Can’t wait to come back, thank you for the memories.

Fantastic home for a memorable family vacation!

We loved this home and location. It was perfect for our family of nine. It is spacious, clean, wonderfully decorated, and well stocked. The children enjoyed playing basketball and the toys that were there for them to play with. Our grandchildren LOVED the chickens! Oh the memories we took home with us. It was lovely meeting Kim! We highly recommend staying here. We are grateful for their great hospitality.

Home away from home

It's not a rental, it's a home, and it feels that way. Owner communicates well and willing to work with you to help and resolve any issues. Full working kitchen with all needed items. My daughter loved the chickens.....visited them multiple times a day, ha. 5th place we stayed at during our week in Alaska and hubby said this was hands down the best. Thanks for hosting, we appreciate y'all!

Love Alaska

This was our 2nd visit to Alaska but our 1st renting a property. We could not have asked for a better property to rent and host. The property made you feel like you were home. You never lacked for anything with added bonuses of fresh eggs and sitting by the fire pit at night. Jim & Kim thank you for sharing your home!!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the property and especially the hosts! Kim is an absolute pleasure to work with and have us so many helpful recommendations. We had a large group of 9 and friends that came over to hang out for a bit and there was so much space for everyone to relax comfortably. The house itself is gorgeous and the location is so peaceful. I wish we would stay longer! Everything you’d need to feel at home was available. If you have a large party and want a great place to stay, definitely book this place. You will not regret it!

The perfect hub

This home was a perfect hub for our family vacation. The neighborhood is beautiful and the property was very private, yet close to everything. We traveled up and down the coast visiting Homer, Seward, Denali, and so much more. We drove and drove, and came home to a comfortable home each night. While this home is in anchorage, it felt like it was deep in the wild of Alaska. We had an encounter with a momma brown bear and her cubs, which didn’t bode well for the chickens that were on-site, but it was an experience we will never forget. The owners are amazing and consistently communicate. This rental truly felt like home away from home. You will not be disappointed staying here. I hope we can return for another visit.

Great home!!

Our family of 9 truly enjoyed the house. It was well stocked, clean, Kim was easy to reach and of course, the chickens! The grandkids enjoyed feeding the chickens and looking for fresh raspberries. It stopped raining so we could have a fire one night. You felt you were out in the country but everything you needed was just a short drive away. Only regret was that we were only able to stay 2 nights. We will definitely stay again! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your lovely house. The mountain goats were a big hit also.

The very best place in the Anchorage area

If I could rate this place 10 stars, I would! Wow! It’s better than the pictures. I traveled to Alaska with my husband, two teen kids and two Grandmas. There’s so much space here that I always had a place to relax by myself and zone out after a long day. My Mom and the kids truly enjoyed the chickens! It was so fun watching them and taking pics and videos. Kids are still talking about it. I’m planning my next trip to Alaska BUT it will be around the availability of this house.

Great home

My family from NC met more family from Fairbanks,AK here for a week together. Great location in a nice neighborhood but you are secluded and don’t even see the neighbors. Kim was so sweet and hospitable, she asked what we needed and was happy to get it. She took the time to remember the little details. Had fresh eggs every morning for breakfast. House is beautiful and well appointed. Lots of room to spread out and be comfortable. I highly recommend.

Amazing trip to Alaska.

We had an amazing time staying at this place, the house is beautiful and really evoked the feeling of being in a cabin in the woods. It was a beautiful experience to wake up, feed the chickens and start bonfires. The owners were exceptional with all their help and their devotion to make our experience as best as possible. I would absolutely recommend everyone that has the opportunity to stay here to do so it is absolutely worth it.

Wonderful Alaskan Retreat!

What a pleasure to stay in this wonderful home with Jim and Kim as hosts. I can't say enough about how great the house is, how much we enjoyed the chickens and collecting eggs each day, experiencing the beauty and ruggedness of Alaska with all the comforts of home coming back to this house at the end of along hike or river trip and the warm welcome and assistance we always received from our hosts. A great experience for children and adults alike! We hope to be back soon and we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else!

Perfect Alaskan experience

We chose to stay at this house when visiting Alaska for a wedding and could not be happier with our choice. The house has an authentic Alaskan feel to it. The property is absolutely beautifully set on private acreage. If you love nature, this is the house for you. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the chickens and collecting eggs from the coop every morning (which was optional). Also, Kim was so accommodating and understanding of special requests we had. She added a pesonal touch to an already amazing experience. Thank you Kim !
