The sofas very comfortable as well. The showers were nice too. The pictures were accurate. The neighbor was quiet and had a nice park just around the corner from this place. The only thing I must be honest is the instructions are bare minimum and there isn't any form to communicate other than this app. With the property manager. Also while we were sleeping we could hear airplanes and the train passing. Oh and there isn’t any A/C. ##### Krystina R. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martha K.

We took day trips all around Anchorage and other parts of Alaska and it was easily within distance of everywhere we wanted to go. Great location, five to ten minutes away from everything in Anchorage including restaurants, Walmart, and Costco. Tons of space. The owners were awesome! They were very quick to answer any questions we had, and they helped us out in a number of ways, such as: providing bear spray for hikes and a fishing pole for the kids when we asked. The arcade games and foosball table were a big hit with the kids. We were able to cook a bunch of meals in the kitchen so we didn't have to go out to eat every meal. Having a grill to use was great too! After hiking and exploring Alaska each day, it was always wonderful to be able to relax at night in the hot tub. Everything in the house was very nice and you can tell a lot of thought was put into how it is arranged and maintained. There are a ton of little touches provided that make traveling much easier, eg. coffee pods, laundry machines and soap, shampoo and body wash, and more. We had a family of seven and were very comfortable. We highly recommend this property. ##### Elizabeth G. Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark E.

Sep 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### was fun this is a really fun place for kids that want to have a fun place to stay. we didn't use the loft because it was very dangerous looking. There are no windows in the downstairs area but the upstairs is really nice with lots of windows. it was fun having a hot tub but the temperature wasn't that high. but we enjoyed the outdoor seating near the hot tub anyway. Does not sleep as many as it says we were lucky we brought a cot with us. Don't get this place if your family likes privacy or their own space. the bathrooms are all inside of other rooms. 2 bathrooms are in bedrooms and one is in the living room/rec room area. I was happy with a full size stove and good cookware supplied. the fridge is a full size and a freezer in it all worked great. they provide a smoking area outside with seating. ##### Mercedes K. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa F. Jun 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious gem with a few quirks Our hosts were very responsive to any questions we had. The property was clean, there’s lots to do in the recreation room downtime here was fun with the darts and games and streaming services. Lots of local flavor, parks, and coastal access nearby. Beds comfy, huge rock wall shower, lots of extra details to make the stay cozy. We struggled at check in since we didn’t understand the unit was divided into three units and it took some time figuring out where to park and which unit entry point to use. We were disappointed to not be told beforehand that the hot tub had unusual limitations. The hosts instructed us to not remove the cover except for half way which prevented us from enjoying the full dimensions and made a large hot tub only accommodate 2 people at a time. The cover being inches away from us made it difficult to enjoy the experience. The property includes a converted garage that has eccentric lighting. To illuminate the downstairs bathroom, one must use a light switch that also turns on a lot of lights in a sleeping area. We couldn’t find a way to use the ceiling fan without an entire bank of lights coming on which make it hard to stay cool on 75 degree days since there are zero windows in the downstairs area. So you can choose to have a darkened room or air circulation but not both at the same time. Something important to point out that we weren’t informed of — none of the three bathrooms have a door. Yes it got awkward. Quirky cool place overall. ##### Lisa F. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Francis H.
