Overall it was a nice stay. The jacuzzi tub shower combination was nice but we are 80 years old and having no handgrips was a bit of a challenge. It in a nice quiet neighborhood and generally clean.

The location is excellent: close enough to downtown Anchorage but far enough away to be on the edge between suburban and rural. The bedrooms are small, but the large beds are more appreciated than more floor space would be! The kitchen, dining area, and living room are well-apportioned and comfortable. Shauna and Kirk were very accommodating and responsive to messages.

Visiting family and friends

Overall this was a great place for us. It was within a couple miles of family and made it nice to have space (and full kitchen) from them in the evening and not sleep on their couch!

Cozy, quiet, and perfect location

The property was extremely clean and quiet; the large TVs in each room were a huge bonus, and the mattress in the main room was amazing. The location is the perfect distance from Anchorage proper to not feel crowded in a city, but close enough that the drive time isn't much of a worry.

The bungalow had everything we needed. It was very cozy and we liked the location it was close to eagle river nature center which has various hiking trails and other areas that would have been perfect for viewing northern lights had the weather cooperated The jetted bath tub was perfect after a day spent hiking. Would definitely stay again.
