Very good location, close to downtown yet far enough away it’s not a busy area. The house was perfect for 4 adults. John was helpful and quick to respond to anything we needed. We want to come back again in the summer and we would gladly chose this property again.

Excellent location and so easy to work with John. Highly recommend this rental!!

This Chester Creek Gem was our "Home Away from Home" over the Christmas Holidays with our family; when we returned to Alaska to spend Christmas with our children and grandchildren. From our first contact with host, John O'Hara, we were impressed by his warmth, responsiveness, availability, gracious and congenial willingness to go over and above to make or stay a very memorable holiday. He even provided and set up a beautifully decorated lovely Christmas Tree before our arrival! This home is warm, sits on a lovely creek, and is beautifully furnished, impeccably clean, and the amenities are thoughtful and detailed from the the sparkling kitchen, to comfortable beds, extra bedding, and blankets. We were able to easily prepare family meals for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Everything we needed was at hand. in the kitchen. The bathrooms are detailed, with thoughtful extra bathroom amenities and great towels!. This property is very conveniently located midway between downtown and mid-town Anchorage, along Chester Creek. Our small grandchildren loved watching the ducks along the creek! We would definitely engage this home again. Thank you John for a very merry and memorable Christmas!! Dennis and Linda Maguire

The best way to describe this property is perfect. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s stunning. The location was wonderful. Super comfy beds, well stocked, beautiful kitchen, and we were so grateful for the laundry facilities! Would definitely recommend, and we’d come stay here again in a heartbeat.

Accommodations were as described with fine amenities and great kitchen.

Everything outstanding !! …except live tv news from cnn & msnbc. We would stay again if we travel to ANC.

We had an issue with the blinds falling out of the wall and crashing down, luckily none of us were near when it happened. These things happen as it is an older home. Promptly told host and he had them fixed the next day. Last day host and housekeeper showed up 1 1/2hrs before checkout to interrogate and kick us out early. According to host next people were there early and we needed to get out ASAP to accommodate them... never had issues like this before.

We enjoyed staying at your house. It has everything you need and is close to downtown but in a quiet neighborhood.

Beautiful, comfortable and cosy house. We enjoyed our 1 week stay at John’s property. He was prompt to respond to our requests and very helpful with recommendations. I will highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfy place to stay in Anchorage.

Everything we needed was available. From the garage to a hair dryer to the babbling brook beside the home. John was a great host and really took care of us. I recommend this location to everyone!

Everything was as advertised. Communication with the agent was easy and quick. The house was spacious and quiet and close to everything in town. Summers in Alaska are the best time to travel.

I stayed at the Chester Creek with my kids, our first time visit to Alaska. The property is perfectly located for running and biking and walking to downtown. We took some tips from John for hiking and I am glad we did! All our questions were quickly answered and John was most gracious helping us have the best time. We will definitely be back!

The remodel was lovely, John was very good to get back when I had questions. The doors were a bit “sticky”, however our friend place and the next place we stayed were the same, must be an Alaska thing. It was nice for us two couples to have our own bath, nice kitchen with bar, great fireplace, and really nicely decorated. Plenty of towels and washer and dryer available. Super great stay!

This was how a house should look like. Have not stayed in one that matches this quality so far. I wish I knew basic cooking ingredients were not available, probably written somewhere that I missed. I would however return if I could.

The location is awesome, close to everything. The creek is beautiful. The house is very well stocked with quality items in the kitchen. The owner is very responsive with questions and concerns. We love our stay!!

We started our Alaska vacation in Anchorage. John’s place is convenient, clean and inviting after our long flight from the Midwest. John was also very accommodating to our request for an air mattress. His timely and personal recommendations for the restaurants are very much appreciated.

The Chester Creek Gem is just that...Best rental we’ve experienced in Anchorage! All of the comforts of home and on the trail system. The beauty of the lagoon or delicious baked goods at Fire Island is a short walk away. Very comfortable beds and full sized washer & dryer. Nicely furnished with a beautiful large kitchen. John the owner is gracious and helpful. We definitely plan on returning!

The house was just as advertised! Beautiful furnished, clean, and well appointed with everything we needed. John was a great resource during our stay. He was always just a phone call away. I would definitely recommend the property to anyone visiting the area, and I hope we can stay again next time we visit!
