Great spot to stay in Anchorage

This is the downstairs apartment of the owner's home and is well stocked and lovely to stay. We felt at home and there is a really great view of the mountains from the porch/living room windows. If you are staying in the Anchorage/Girdwood area, this is the place to stay.

Great property outside of the hustle of Anchorage but close enough to access easily.Host was responsive and property is clean and ready for guest. We also got lucky enough to have a moose take a nap in the yard one night and were safely able to see it from the safety of our living room window.

The view is amazing and the house was nice and warm. Communication with the host was wonderful and they were quick to respond to any questions we had. The only downside was you could hear them above you but thankfully it didn't keep us awake. All and all it was a wonderful trip and they were great hosts. We didn't get to see any Moose as I write this but I'm hoping that we'll see some on the way out.

The place was nice and comfortable. Downhill walk on grass was challenging when wet. Sometimes there was too much noise from the owners living above, including at 11:30 at night when it sounded like a running wash machine and dryer right above our bed. The road leading to this place is not the best.

Overall this is a nice place to stay. The photo of this cabin is a little deceiving. It makes you think, that you are renting a cabin, but actually you are staying in an apartment underneath the cabin. The stairs getting to the apartment are quite steep, so if you have a lot of heavy luggage, this becomes a problem. Also, it is not as isolated as it looks in the photo. You are surrounded by other cabins from all directions. All this considered, it is a nice and clean place to rent.

INCREDIBLE

Property just as advertised. View amazing. Every day and night we were just stunned with the view and peacefulness of the location. Saw moose nearby as well, and was so easy to use this location as base to do day trips to Willow, Hatcher Pass and Kenai.
