Beautiful home and location! House was very clean, comfortable, well-stocked, owners were super helpful and responsive and live close by. Saw the northern lights two of our nights. Would absolutely stay there again for a future trip.

Our stay at Hemlock House was fantastic! Aside from the amazing views out of nearly every window, the home was clean, comfortable and perfect for our winter stay. The kitchen is fully stocked, making meal prep a breeze and the heated floors / towel rack in the main bath were very welcome in the winter cold. We spent lots of time playing Uno, reading, and connecting as a family.We also spent a lot of time on the many Nordic trails around Anchorage, our favorite of which is 10 mins from the home (Hillside).Thanks again for a fantastic stay, we will be back!
