Wonderful, Spacious Property in Anchorage
This property was the perfect post-cruise lodging for our family. We had plenty of room, it's impeccably clean, and the kids loved the bunk beds. The kitchen has everything you need (though we ate out a lot), the living room has lots of seating options and a Roku Smart TV. There's also a lot of plants everywhere, which is refreshing. Location-wise, almost anything in Anchorage can be reached with a 5-10 minute drive. Also, Sue is an outstanding host. We couldn't be happier with our stay.

Cute comfy home
Great house and location. We really enjoyed our first time in Anchorage and used this home as a base camp for some great adventures.
The house is close to the airport and Downtown Anchorage. It had everything we needed for the stay with the washer and dryer and all cooking appliances and utensils. Clean and cute, with character. Would stay there again.Owner was very welcoming.

Lovely home!
Group of 5 adults had plenty of room to get ready for a busy day, or lounge around in the evening, in this lovely, feel good, home. As already stated in other reviews, the neighborhood is quiet with easy access to major through roads, the house well-stocked, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed chatting about gardening and Alaska living with Sue. If we can return to Anchorage for another visit, we would stay at Sue's.

We were traveling with our adult sons ( five of us) on a spectacular trip to Alaska. This was our first stop. The house was clean and comfortable. The owner even provided, soap, shampoo, lotion, spices, laundry soap, fabric softener, fresh flowers and toilet paper. Sue was very helpful with information and suggestions. We totally enjoyed our stay!

Perfect spot for all things Anchorage
We spent three nights at this VRBO in August before heading to Kodiak. The place was perfect for three adults. We each had our own space and plenty of room to move around. The biggest benefit is the location! With people flying in and out at different times it was conveniently located to the airport and everywhere else was a quick 5-10 minute drive. The property owner was always quick to respond which was very helpful.

Lovely property. Stairs are a little tricky if you have anyone not entirely sure footed (elderly). Awesome outdoor back patio for hanging out. Located perfectly- near enough to airport and downtown and also close to highways. Very nice homeowner.

Great vacation
Family of 5 stayed here. Very roomy and comfortable beds! Sue was extremely helpful and friendly! If we come back to Alaska, we will definitely stay here again!
Only thing I recommend- black out curtains for guests not used to the daylight nights and a full length mirror in the house.
