Living Large at The Moose Pad!
Even better than advertised! The property is very well-appointed and was a great location for a 6 person college reunion! Terrific outdoor spaces with a huge 2nd story patio (great sunset views), hot tub, grille, and fire circle down below. Close to town & ANC ( 20 min) but out far enough to see some wildlife. Plenty of creature comforts and great communication with hosts Tony and Desirae.

Home away from home!
We stayed for 3 nights after getting off a cruise. This home was the perfect way to move into the next part of our Alaska vacation! This home is beautiful and has absolutely everything you will need for your stay. Beds are so comfortable, kitchen was very well equipped and the teenagers loved the hot tub! Thanks for sharing your place with us- wish we could have stayed longer!

Great place!
The Moose Pad was perfect for our group of 8 adults and 2 young children! The house had everything we needed to accommodate our group. From tons of towels, condiments, and air mattresses to anything needed for kids — pack n plays, high chair, toys…it was perfect! We loved our stay here! While we only had a short stay, the house provided easy access to local hiking and a walkable playground. We enjoyed ending the day with the large hot tub and beautiful outdoor patio. Highly recommend!!

Fabulous, well equipped house but very uncomfortable mattresses.
Loved the deck & firepit. Nobody slept well because the mattresses were extremely soft - impossible for 2 people in one bed.

Better than we hoped!
We were in Alaska for 2 1/2 weeks. The last 3 nights were in this beautiful VRBO and it was exquisite. We were so thrilled to find stocked cupboards and everything we needed to grill out some yummy steaks. It was so nice to not have to buy all of the little things, extra towels for the hot tub, snacks, books, fire wood.... These wonderful hosts thought of everything. We loved the super comfy beds after a dip in the perfect hot tub. This place exceeds all expectations! Thank you for everything!

Perfect vacation home
Perfect vacation home with many amenities and well stocked. Deck area was fabulous and used frequently during stay. Location just off main roads was good for our frequent excursions to Anchorage, Girdwood and Prince William Sound. We had fun!
