Great experience all around!

Adorable little house in an easy to find location. Everything was very clean and well taken care of with all of the necessities available. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond to our messages. Would definitely stay again next time we are in the area. Plenty of room to bring the whole family.

Great AK retreat

Property was exactly as listed - nice retreat! Very cozy, comfy beds/furniture. We snuggled in and enjoyed games and utilized the kitchen for meals at ‘home’. Excellent plow/shovel upkeep with a few inches of snow overnight as well ! Would return !

Nice place

We had a great stay, the house was easy to find, clean, and we loved that we could have our dog with us. We did notice that while the bedding did seem to be washed, there was quite a bit of pet hair stuck in the sheets that hadn’t come out when laundered. Overall, it was a great stay and we’d definitely stay again.

Convenient home base for our vacation

Cozy and modern inside with pretty much everything we needed. I appreciated being able to do laundry as we stayed 8 days. We drove north as far as Willow and south as far as Cooper Landing, but Eagle River had what we needed for theost part. The neighboring property was a little scary, but there were no problems.

Clean, good location, and very kind and professional host

Stayed at this location for 2 weeks during our transition throughout mainland Alaska. The owner/host (J.D) was extremely professional throughout the process, quick to respond to inquiries, and even alerted us when there was a bear in the area. The home was well stocked with everyday essentials. Highly recommend for anyone traveling through the Anchorage/ Matsu Valley area.
