Great Location, Great Property

This is the second time my group has rented this property, and it’s location, calm neighborhood, and overall high-end quality of the home and its amenities is the reason that we have and will continue to rent the space if it’s available.

Ideal Family Vacation Home

The house was ideal for our family to relax in, and a home base for daily adventures. We enjoyed the fire pit and roasting marshmallows while taking turns playing corn hole. The kitchen was ideal for cooking up family meals, and outside grill perfect for fresh fish. The house is close by the glacier, Auke Bay, beaches and trailheads for adventures. It was also a lovely place to relax with coffee and a book or tv on a rainy day.

Great house for our family.

This is a purpose built/remodeled house specific for stays like ours. Having 2 bathrooms and multiple bedrooms is so much nicer than a hotel room. The house is in a neighborhood, not too far from anything in Juneau and very close to the Mendenhall glacier. Kitchen was clean, updated. Easy communication with the host.

Gold Medal Week

This was our first time staying here. We were down for Gold Medal Week. It was great to have a room for each of us and two bathrooms, plus a washer/dryer. We also enjoyed having TV's to watch during our stay. It took a couple of times to figure out how to get to the house, but once we did it just made the stay that much better. The drive was a bit long, that is because the games were downtown, but still less than the drive we do at home on the regular. A spot for 2 vehicles and each bedroom had a white noise machines

Mendenhaven ... almost an A+

Great stay at this Juneau property. It was very clean and well equipped. Backyard and deck were an added bonus. The lack of closet space and bedroom dressers made living out of a suitcase a bit of a hassle for 8 days. But that was pretty much a minor inconvenience. Relatively quiet neighborhood; but the downside is that you couldn't quickly walk to any retail or food/coffee establishments. Taylyn was a great host and couldn't have been any more accommodating.

Great house and location!

We had a great stay. The house was clean, well-stocked with games, kitchen supplies, and linens. We had great weather, so we were able to enjoy the cornhole in the lovely backyard, as well as a nice little neighborhood park only a few minutes walk away (it’s got a great playground for kids!).

The hosts are fantastic and had great hospitality! The home was beautifully remodeled and spa like. We could not have found a better place to enjoy the holiday.
