Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I think the property was friendly to pets. It had a lot of room in the front & back yard, along with a lot of space in the living room & kitchen. The bed is big, so your pet could definitely sleep with you on it or they could go into the guest bedroom too. There is a massage chair that was definitely relaxing & the place was clean

Very interesting awesome owner and staff. Incredibly cool property - a must stay and try if you like unique people and surroundings. Flexible mindset, they are working with you on days, and the communication is great. If you are staying in this area, check this out and give it a feel. You won't be disappointed!! +++++AAAAAA+

There are no opening windows. The bathroom needs a door. A pocket door or barn door could work instead of a curtain. If the couch is to serve as a bed, sheets, a pillow, and extra blankets would be nice. We understand that the property is being worked on, but it was listed as a view property. Location listed had a Wasilla address, but was farther out than anticipated.
