Beautiful welcome to Wasilla!
What an incredible host Deb is! An overnight arrival and she communicated with me beforehand so I understood how to arrive as easily as possible and it was. The welcoming treats upon arrival and personalized door greeting made us feel very welcomed. We drove to Denali first thing in the morning and the snacks were right on the spot. We knew we made the right decision in staying in Wasilla. The home was very beautiful and the views of mountains were so peaceful. While I didn’t get to meet Deb due to our busy schedule, she checked in on us to make sure we were good and it was appreciated. No stove, but a grill and microwave/small fridge. Recommend for anyone traveling to Wasilla or need an in between from Anchorage (50 mins) and Denali (just over 3 hours). Thank you for opening your home and look forward to returning.

Off the chain!
What a delightful gem. Makes me want to look for an excuse to stay again. Thoughtful, kind, accommodating make up the start of the list of qualities. No way came up short in any respect, but added extra goodies that enhance the stay. As Bob Barker said, “Come on down!”

Great place to stay with amazing host!
Great communication, very friendly host and very clean property! We stayed here for our first two nights in Alaska. Travel is somewhat stressful for me, so when the communication, finding the location and arriving to a welcoming and clean place went seamlessly, I was beyond appreciative! I definitely recommend!

Exceeded expectations
This property was our first few nights in Alaska and it was fastastic! The views were incredible and of course the pictures don't do it justice. It is breathtaking. And this is the view out the door every morning and out the bedroom window! It was a very quiet neighborhood, out of the mainstream. The room and living area were very large and the kitchen well stocked for coffee, etc. The morning muffins were amazing. I would stay here again and longer in a heartbeat. Loved it!!

This is one of the most beautiful and amazing places I’ve ever visited. It has a peace of mind and heart that I have never felt. Please go visit. Host are amazing, very friendly people. Very private if you’re looking for something special. I really wish I could have found out about the DVD’s that were available in the rooms. I didn’t get the opportunity to watch during my stay but the 3 disk set is there for you. I hope anyone that visits will feel the same
