Great place to stay in Anchorage

My husband and I stayed here for a few days in May 2019. Lovely space, super clean, well-equipped, and just far enough from the downtown Anchorage to get the "we are in Alaska" fee without a hassle of long commutes. Highly recommended.

This was the last stop on The instructions to get in were very easy to get in. It was a little confusing finding the rental because the address given was 10000 but the building was 9998. We were very happy with the house! Thank you for sharing your space with us.

The most charming home and hostess. Every inch of this beautiful cottage was decorated with love!

Donna- went to great lengths to make our stay in Alaska very special. Her guest home is absolutely beautiful. She thought of everything. This guest home is cozy, comfortable, and absolutely beautiful. You will enjoy your stay tremendously. It has a beautiful view and you feel it is a home away from home. I will recommend this place to everyone who visits. If I could give in ten stars I would.

A Great Place to stay.

The guest house was comfortable and located near our family. We enjoyed watching the chickadees feast out the window and had two lengthy visits of moose in the drive. Donna was helpful with answers for questions and additional supplies. An unexpected perk was the driveway. With the new snow it made the perfect sled run for our 2 year old granddaughter. We look forward to coming back next year.

A true gem!

This apartment, which feels more like a cabin, is absolutely wonderful. If it is available, stop looking and book it! Located just outside of Anchorage in the hills, it has everything you need. Clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped. There are even a few furry and feathered friends (outside) to provide entertainment if you grow weary of trying to spot a moose. A nature trail is just around the corner, but weather prevented us from exploring it. Loved our stay here!

Winter Stay at Prospect Heights VRBO

We travel a lot because we do volunteer work for government land management agencies. This past winter we have been in Anchorage and were fortunate enough to find long-term lodging at this delightful VRBO. It was also a new experience for the hosts as they had not rented long-term before. This location is in the foothills of the Chugach mountains adjacent to the Chugach State Park. The park offers year-around opportunities for hiking, birding, and wildlife observation. We had moose in the yard on several occasions. Bear spray is available for guests and there are both grizzly and black bears in the neighborhood.The accommodation is spacious and very private. It overlooks the city of Anchorage with the Pacific Ocean and Coast Mountains in the background. Mount Spurr, an active volcano 80 miles from Anchorage, is expected to erupt soon and we would have had a front row seat for that event. Amenities are numerous and the congenial hosts were quick to provide any items that we needed.As mentioned previously, we travel a lot and make use of VRBO accommodations frequently, and this is the nicest VRBO we have stayed in. We highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful place and so peaceful!

I was on my 3rd trip to Anchorage within the last 2 years and I wish I had found out about this property on the first trip. (I had stayed at a hotel and another property from a different site, which were okay but that was about it.) It is situated on the hillside within a short drive of Anchorage and not too far from the Glen Alps parking area. It is in a nice, quiet area, with beautiful views and is a very comfortable to stay at. I can fully understand why this place has a perfect rating. Donna was very good at communicating as our trip approached. Her place is well decorated, has so many essentials to help you relax and enjoy the reason you choose to stay at a place such as this. That resulted in some of the best night's sleep I've had this year. I would gladly choose her place on my next trip up to Anchorage and would encourage anyone looking for a nice place stay to consider this one!

Enjoyable stay

We enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. It was well appointed and comfortable, and it was very reasonably priced, especially considering how expensive hotels are in Anchorage in summer. We appreciated having additional fans in the bedroom for white noise at night, and the bed was comfortable. We also loved the gas fireplace and kitchen. We arrived late at night and were a bit confused about where the apartment was located because there are multiple buildings at the property and the listing said street number XXXXX, but the apartment is over the garage which is actually XXXX. We found it quickly enough though, and hopefully we didn't wake anyone up walking around the property!

This guesthouse is adorable! I loved it!! Better than the photos. The views from all the large windows were great too. I would get up early every morning, turn on the gas fireplace and enjoy the moon or sunrises. It was lovely. I was most impressed with how fully stocked the guesthouse is. Everything from the kitchen to the bathroom....you will have everything you need for sure. Quick, easy drive to town as well which made the location perfect. I'll be back in 2 more years for my son's graduation from the University of Alaska.

Donna is Great!

My family and I were very excited to be hosted by Donna, unfortunately plans were cancelled because of a severe storm. Our plans were not can celled until the Day of our check in with Donna-Donna was very courteous and kind in her communications and she went the extra mile and had the house stocked with food for my family, for our arrival! Although I did not get to experience her vrbo, I am sure it would have been amazing based off of the true compassion and care Donna gave through our communications! I rate Donna a 5 star and I am sure her place is just as Great! Thank you Donna!

Little “Peace” of Heaven

Wow! What a sweet little home away from home we found in Alaska … thank you Donna and Ed for sharing!! We absolutely wanted for nothing!! Everything was so well appointed!! From the super comfy bed to a kitchen that made it so hard for us to even want to go out to eat. Gorgeous view … especially at night looking over the twinkling lights of Anchorage. Loved the variety of birds that visited everyday and even the moose that visited at night. Extremely well located to grocery stores, etc. but far enough away to be able to enjoy the peace and quiet. Winter is a perfect time to experience Alaska … Fur Rhondy, Iditarod, Northern Lights, Denali, Turnagain Arms, Moose, Eagles, Otters ,Seals … just to name a few of what this beautiful state has to offer. Again Donna, thank you guys so much!!
