I just have to say, I’ve never had a host as kind and thoughtful as Deb. My boyfriend and I traveled to Alaska for only 24 hours on a whim. I wanted to make it special for him and make it a celebration for graduating; she legit went and bought everything I asked for with a basket and made the stay so special. I’m so thankful for Deb, our Alaska stay felt so much longer because of her hospitality and beautiful home. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

This was a beautiful property. The hot tub with the Mountain View is gorgeous. The house is nice, had all the basics you would need with a small fridge and microwave. The only issue we had was the noise from the house above was quite loud. It might not bother everyone, but I’m a very light sleeper and could hear the dogs, people walking etc. if you’re a light sleeper like me this might be not be a good option. Everything else was good!

The view is stunning. Enjoyed sitting in the hot tub overlooking the mountains. Could also sit in the living room and gaze over the mountains. We were welcomed with a bowl of large berry muffins and fruit. Deb was very responsive to my questions. I didn’t read close enough of the description to realize there wasn’t a cooking range but we made due with the grill and griddle outside. That was my fault for not reading the property description. We enjoyed our stay.

We stayed here for a night after a nearby wedding. Gorgeous view and awesome property. Had everything we needed, was just here with friends but would be a great spot for family/kids as well.
