This beautifully upgraded three-bedroom apartment with granite kitchen, and stainless appliances is an easy to keep clean, pet friendly space featuring laminate flooring throughout. The unique design of this property joins three dwelling units with a three-bay garage, so no units share any walls. Thunder Mountain Place is a ground floor unit.

One bedroom features a private, half bathroom and a King sized bed. The other two bedrooms have queen beds.

We will strive to provide the best vacation experience for you and hope to earn your five star review! Expectations should be limited to what is promised here, and reviews should reflect how we did with these promises. Before submitting your review, please remember to base it on the following criteria and what was promised to be provided for the price paid as follows:
Easy check-in process – You'll be able to self-check in. Kelli will give you check-in details prior to arrival, including a lock box code. You'll be able to access the rental at your leisure after check-in time, at 4pm. We offer early check-in options, if it's available a couple days prior to your arrival for $25-$50, depending on your arrival time.
Great Communication – Kelli is known to be responsive to guests before, during, and after their stay. You can expect prompt responses to your questions. She'll respond to web site messages as soon as she can.
Clean Accommodations – Your private apartment should be sparkling clean.
Great Mendenhall Valley Location – It's a 10 minute walk from the city bus stop and three miles from the famous Mendenhall Glacier which you can get to by car, bike (available for rent at this property) or walking on a paved bike path or gravel trail. You can take the bus for two miles and walk the third mile. This is not a downtown Juneau property. Downtown Juneau is substantially more expensive than the Mendenhall Valley, so this location for the price should not be compared to that of downtown. If you want to be downtown, and don't want to take a 45 minute bus ride to go 16 miles, then this space is not for you.
Accurate Description of the space - I try to make continuous improvements when guests make suggestions and do my best to keep the changes updated and published. If I missed something please let me know, so I can update the information. If you are missing something you were counting on, please let me know immediately, so I can try to provide it for your stay.
Great Value – Juneau is expensive, especially during peak season, and while this is a more affordable option, we understand that it can seem expensive. Part of the value is the ability to rent for only one night and have an additional person. The price fluctuates depending on the season. We have to charge more when the business is there, so that we can afford to have it vacant for long, slow periods.
Have a fantastic trip!

Thunder Mountain place was a comfortable and convenient home base for our Juneau trip: the house was clean and well maintained; the owner was very responsive when we had questions; and we enjoyed seeing wildlife around the property (at a safe distance). Thanks for a great stay!

Many thanks to Kelli for a quick response and the ability to handle our group!
We had delays in our flight causing us to miss our cruise embarkation.
Kelli had a spot for us in Juneau and we throughly enjoyed our day and a half there.
Mendenhall Glacier, Gondola ride and hiking.
Rental is well placed for glacier hiking. You will need transportation to get into downtown Juneau.

Had a project and had 2-3 crew members working night shift. No complaints from my crew on not being able to sleep during the day. We did ask to have a bi-weekly cleaning and the cleaning crew was nice enough to work around our schedule. Great communication, convenient location, if available during our next project we will be looking to stay here

As our family was purchasing groceries and gear for our two week trek into the wilds of Alaska, this property worked perfectly as a base to consolidate and package everything before taking the Alaska Marine Highway ferry out to the island.
Much better than attempting the same task out of a couple of hotel rooms.

This place was amazing! My family stayed here for a couple days for a family wedding. This house was comfortable and provided just the right amount of space and accommodations for our needs. The common areas are cozy and clean. The kitchen comes with basic needs so we didn’t have to go out an purchase more items. Kelli was very communicative before and during our stay! We rented the entire property because of how many of us came for the wedding, but if we ever come back we would totally rent a single room as well. The view from the kitchen window is stellar and we enjoyed coffee while watching many birds come and go. Our stay at this place really couldn’t have been any better!
