Your Home Away From Home

Cozy private bedroom with bath in the lower level of our home’s daylight basement. Access is through a side gate, down a short set of steps, and along a pathway to your private entrance. Please note—the walkway has a slight slope and may not be easily accessible for guests with limited mobility.

The bedroom features a queen-size with a memory foam mattress and adjustable base, plus a full-size sofa bed for up to 2 additional guests, allowing a maximum of 4 guests total. *A $25 /night booking fee will be added to your cost for each additional guest over 2 people.

A small kitchenette is provided for your convenience, equipped with a mini refrigerator, microwave, dishes, utensils, and complimentary coffee and tea. Please note there are no other cooking surfaces available.

Enjoy a Smart TV with internet access in the bedroom, free guest WiFi, and a private sauna to unwind at the end of the day. Guests also have use of a game room and lounge area, as well as direct access to the private backyard.

Our home is located in a peaceful residential cul-de-sac, close to the U-Med district, shopping, movie theaters, bike trails, parks, and Cheney Lake Park.

We share our home with one dog and one cat, but they do not have access to guest areas. The staircase to the upstairs is separated by curtains at both ends and a locked security gate behind the upstairs curtain for everyone’s peace of mind. The bedroom is located below our kitchen, so you may hear occasional kitchen activity, though we do our best to keep noise to a minimum.

We look forward to welcoming you and making your stay as comfortable, relaxing, and memorable as possible.

Great stay

The check in and check out process was seamless. The location were great and the place was exceptionally clean. Kiddos really enjoyed the old school arcade games and we enjoyed a few games of pool. Close to restaurants and served as a good base for day trips from Anchorage. Would definitely stay again!

Lovely place to stay!!

Beautiful place in a wonderful, safe, neighborhood. Looks even better than the pictures. Huge space, yet still nice and cozy. Humongous bathroom with extra-large shower. Delightful hosts who were very responsive while still giving us all the privacy we wanted. Definitely would love to stay here again!!

Great location

Perfect location in a very nice, quiet neighborhood. Easy access to both the Glenn and Seward Hwy's, and also Elmendorf (I went up for the Arctic Thunder air show). Although I didn't use the sauna, arcade games or pool table, the place was roomy, spotless and had a comfy adjustable bed and a great bathroom. A large grocery store was also a very short drive. I would definitely make this my home base for a future stay.

Beautiful space, great getaway

Great stay with great hosts, had a blast at their place. Clearly geared to making the guest experience great with the sauna, pool table, and games. Only hesitancy to suggesting to all family/friends was that the heating system right above bedroom (we think it was the baseboards at least) was loud kicking on upstairs woke us up many times. Outside of that it was an amazing location and stay.

Awesome stay! Host went above and beyond

My husband and I loved staying here! Yvette and her family did an amazing job with the living space. It looked just like the pictures. It was clean, had plenty of extra amenities like coffee, a bed that can be adjusted with a remote control, walk-in closet, and many more! She communicated where to park and how to enter the house very clearly. She was very kind to let us borrow a cooler that we requested to take food on some day trips. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back on any future trips. Thank you to you and your family, Yvette!

Lovely stay

It is a good, safe neighborhood, but not real close to any restaurants. Very clean, had everything you would need. Suggest that they put some light roast coffee in the room and not all dark roast. Loved her tea box in the little kitchen. Walk down to the room from the driveway could use some paver stones. Loved that she puts tour guide pamphlets in the suit in case you don’t have all your plans of what to do. Owner was very nice and helpful.highly recommend.

Nice secluded rental

Great place to stay. Relaxed and peaceful. This is a basement rental of a family home. It was nice to Come back to rental and relax. While there was the occasional pitter patter of dog paws and cat hops . It didn’t bother me one bit. I rarely heard the homeowner and when I did it wasn’t that loud. After all, I was in their home. Great place for a pit stop for my excursions around anchorage for the week. Hosts were kind and friendly when I did see them. Would definitely stay here again.

Very clean, kind people. The only thing I wished was different was a little less priority on the games and pool table and more of a living room/ couch where you can watch the TV in the living room.
