I want to give this unit higher rating. The owner showed real effort in making the unit a comfortable and relaxing place with a well stocked mini kitchen and bathroom. The unit is also clean and well laid out. The overall setup is done well and we enjoyed this portion. However, the unit is very prone to noise at night, including gurgling of the pipes, expansion/contraction sounds, and other sounds throughout the night, making undisturbed sleep almost impossible. If you are sensitive to noise like I am, I would suggest to take that into consideration.

Wonderful suite, felt so homey. Host has everything you need right there, even some chocolates to welcome you! You park right by the suite, so it's very easy access. Will stay there again, plus recommend to anyone asking for a great place to stay at a reasonable price while in Anchorage..

We stayed here a total of 5 nights on a split stay and it’s just a very comfortable suite with a super nice hostess! Everything about Alison’s place was amazing! The icing on the cake was our last evening there I was sitting on the deck and there was a huge bull moose across the street and he was magnificent! Do not hesitate to book this place!Alison, thank you so much for your awesome hospitality! If we ever return to Alaska I would book again!

Best accommodations of the trip!
I am so impressed with this rental and especially the host! We booked both the beginning and end of our Alaska trip here. Knew it was perfect within 5 minutes of arriving. Alison had helped me plan the trip with some good advice. Check-in was a breeze with the key code. Had everything we needed plus more. Bed was super comfy, several staples available should we want to eat in, and there was a basket of local booklets for things to do and places to eat, and Alison was the perfect host. The yard was beautiful too! Overall it was fantastic and very highly recommended!

This is my second stay with Alison and have already scheduled next year
Just perfect! The property is comfortable, cozy and very well appointed. Spacious bedroom with a really, really comfy bed, large bathroom with a fantastic shower. Living room had 2 cozy recliners. Kitchen had what we needed, with a coffee and tea drawer that was chock full and a stash of staples if we decided to stay in. Alison was the perfect hostess. She gave me lots of good advice when setting up our trip and was very welcoming. We’re staying again a couple nights before we leave and I’m looking forward to it. Heartily recommended!!

She had everything you would need for your stay including room darkening shades in the bedroom for when you come to Alaska and the sun doesn't go down till midnight.

We flew into Anchorage from Georgia around 2am. This was the perfect place to come to after a long day of travels. Alison had the lights on for us and it was an easy trip from the airport in an Uber. The place is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. It’s very homey, which is amazing when you’re coming in after a long day. We would definitely come back here again!
