Top Alaska Zoo Hotel Reviews

Cozy 1 bedroom with beautiful Alaskan views

8/10 Good

"it was a great place to meet. Nature had a bull moose walk through the yard and into the neighbors yard, which was really cool. Got to see a bear. Overall everything was good. Good location close to things."

Hygge Hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"The location of this property is absolutely amazing! The inside was clean and spacious and I was in love with the decor (especially in the kitchen)! We had our dogs with us also and there was plenty of room in the yard for them to run around. When we were there the upstairs was vacant so I’m not sure how it would be with upstairs neighbors but it’s very private so I’m certain it would be just as quiet and charming. Also the neighborhood is very quiet and safe…you forget you’re still in Anchorage. It’s only a 5-10 minute drive from shopping and all of the restaurants. I definitely recommend this property!"

Quiet large home in South Anchorage to launch your Alaska Adventure!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house. There is one bedroom on the 1st floor and 4 bedrooms upstairs, along with a foosball table and sitting area with TV. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Heather was very kind and the house is decorated with beautiful quilts. We would stay here again!"

10/10 Excellent

"Loved it! We spent 8 nights here as our Anchorage base. Convenient location. Perfect size for two people. And quiet! We are used to quiet and this exceeded our expectations. Quiet neighborhood. And quiet inside. No sticky doors, no squeaky floors. For a little more than a hotel room a place to spread out!"

COZY HILLSIDE HOME W BEAUTIFUL DECK, FIRE PIT, SAUNA,BACKYARD & HUGE GAME-ROOM!!

10/10 Excellent

"This property was immaculate! We really enjoyed all the extra amenities the house provided, as well (like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, foil, condiments, spices, tea). The house was very clean, the beds were comfortable. This was an ideal location in a nice part of Anchorage (very quiet, yet still close to Anchorage activities) and all the fun along the Seward Highway and Seward (easy 2 hour drive with no traffic of construction). Christina was a delight to work with, very accommodating, very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!"

Beautiful South Anchorage 5-Bedroom House with Extra Large Deck and Patio

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great!"

South Anch. Suite Partial Chugach Mountain View

10/10 Excellent

"This VRBO was perfect for our two night stay. We didn't arrive until almost midnight and access was super easy. Directions were clear, it was neat and clean and although there were other people-it was mostly quiet. The location is convenient to everything . The host responded quickly to any questions and when I thought I forgot something-he checked and got back to me right away. We would stay again!"

Mountain Lake Sanctuary in Alaska Up to 22 Guests

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at this place was amazing!! We had a group of 16 and it was perfect! While there are too many things to list about how great our stay was, we really appreciated generous starting of basic essentials…toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen stuff, etc. made things so smooth. Communication and responsiveness was excellent. We had an issue with wireless connection and their IT came out immediately to fix. You will not be disappointed here."
