This is an excellent place to stay in Anchorage. The location is great (close to trails, etc) and the unit itself offered everything we needed. The hosts are communicative and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again!
Absolutely perfect cottage for our first (not the last!) trip to Alaska. This cottage is adorable, has everything you need, and is in a great location to get to everything. Owner Stephanie was so helpful!
Very clean and updated! Good amenities and close to downtown. Off street parking is also a plus if you have a car. I would definitely stay here again if in Anchorage!
This was a great place for our days in Anchorage. The owner is quick to answer any questions and checked in to make sure everything was good. Its very clean with an updated kitchen and bathroom. It is located on a quiet street with ample parking. We would stay here again.
Great unit. Clean and well equipped with everything you need. Especially liked having access to laundry room, full kitchen and corner window table open to greenery and local squirrel. Close to town and walkable to restaurants and downtown attractions. Would definitely stay again.
Absolutely loved our stay at this well located house. The trails nearby were great for a run as well as the neighborhood towards the downtown heart. I would definitely stay here again.
Also excellent above and beyond communication. Always willing to give suggestions for local events going on or sharing general knowledge of the area.
Thank you for hosting us!
The cottage was in a perfect location to be able to walkabout-even to downtown! We did not rent a car this trip because we visited family and used theirs. We enjoyed walking to the New Sagaya Market for groceries and the Fire Island Bakery for delicious pastry and coffee. Our host Stephanie was very responsive to our needs and available with suggestions for activities. We would definitely stay here again.
Very nice, clean rental. There is an additional unit downstairs but was very quiet. Liked that we had off street parking and access to a washer and dryer. Is in a little older part of Anchorage but seemed safe, we didn’t have any problems. Would consider renting again.
We were very pleased with the neighborhood (felt safe) and its easy access to downtown and the Chester Creek Trail.
Everything that we saw online was what we experienced-there were no surprises.
Stephanie was a great communicator and provided guidance.
As a runner/walker, I really enjoyed the trail system.
We found this to be an enjoyable, cozy, and very clean place to stay. The kitchen is completely stocked with dishes, pots/pans, utensils, silverware, toaster, coffee maker, etc. This unit is located close to downtown, within walking distance to a small grocery store, and close to a walking path/park. Stephanie, our host, was responsive to any questions we might have. We highly recommend this place for your next stay in Anchorage.
My wife and I stayed in The Kobuk Aug. 17 - 20, 2024. The home is well appointed with all the amenities needed. The cleanliness was outstanding. The location is in a quiet neighborhood that is easily accessible from anywhere in the city. The host, Stephanie, was very helpful and was accessible via text. Stephanie gave us several great recommendations of things to do and places to eat. We appreciated the local maps and brochures in the home as these also helped us plan our little excursions within Anchorage.
I had a comfortable, relaxed stay while in town for a conference. Nice, quiet neighborhood and I enjoyed my walk to and from the conference center each day. I cooked for most of my meals and the kitchen had everything I needed. Would definitely stay here again if I get another chance to come to Anchorage.
Really great location, so clean, and great host. For those visiting in the summer who aren’t used to the late light, the bedroom has great blackout curtains. Walkable to city trails, downtown, grocery, bars/breweries and more!
Beautiful property and customer centric property owner who has thought of everything in advance. Great pedestrian location near parks, coffee shops, bikeways, shopping and downtown Anchorage. I recommend this for family and friends.
Clean and well appointed apartment conveniently located to downtown Anchorage. Easy walk to the grocery store for supplies. Walked to downtown for bike rentals on the Coastal Trail, dinners out, and to catch a tour bus to see the glaciers. We were in town for a wedding and most of our group was in the same area of town, which was great. We'll use this place again when we return to see our son next time.
The house has a listing for upstairs and down. We were upstairs and didn’t have any issues. Except when the downstairs turned up the heat upstairs got very warm. Short walk downtime, great location.
