I enjoyed a wonderful stay at this property. I was visiting Anchorage to watch my son in an athletic competition. We had two adults in our party and the home was perfect for us (but certainly could have accommodated more people). The home was perfectly clean and organized. It had everything we needed and more. The neighborhood was quiet and ideally located for our activities. I would not hesitate to rent this home again. Lynette was wonderful to work with. An ideal host!

This property is a great place to stay. I cannot say enough about it. My traveling campions and I were very comfortable in this beautiful townhouse. It was super clean. Owner was very obliging and the instructions for everything were well conveyed. It was conveniently located for us. Neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We will stay here again when we come back to Alaska. : )

Perfect house for our family of five. Tons to do within driving distance from the home and Lynette was super helpful. Would absolutely stay here again.

We really appreciate the privilege of staying in Lynette's lovely townhouse. It was exceptionally clean, well-stocked and comfortably roomy for the three of us. Location is good, with quick access to major routes, a plus if interested in day trips to the mountains or towns like Seward and Whittier. Lynette is an excellent host and quick to answer questions. The little touches in the home - snacks, coffee, laundry soap - were very much appreciated. Her welcome book is thorough and an excellent resource. Can tell Lynette cares about her guests. Thanks Lynette!

We loved our stay here. We had all that we needed and it truly fit our needs. Thank you Lynette. Every item, every detail was thought through. We would stay here again.
5.0
Clean & well decorated. Tons of vehicles in the cul-de-sac location, which makes it look less than wonderful, but we had no issues with noise or anything odd; never felt remotely concerned.
Saw a moose right by the road a stone's throw away from the house (and her calf back in the woods behind her).
Just used this house as a base for exploring the area and everything we wanted to see ended up being south of Anchorage, so the south-side location was great (not that Anchorage is a huge city). We only had 3 folks total, so the one shower wasn't a problem.
Happy with the house!

Nice place to stay, very comfortable, hosts thought of everything! I appreciate no fragrance on the bed sheets as I'm allergic. We would definitely stay here again.

This clean, beautiful, well appointed duplex in a quiet cul-de-sac was perfect for us all. It’s centrally located - 15 minutes from the airport, 15 minutes to the mountains, 5 minutes to the store. The high chair, pack-n-play and stroller were perfect for the 1 yr old. Great hostess too, with easy check in and out.

Lynette was truly like a friend of the family and made it feel like home away from home. I have business in Alaska and travel there multiple times a year and will definitely check availability with this home for future stays. Immaculate!
5.0
Wonderful stay. Close to shopping and easy access. Even had a high chair, snacks and books for when my grand baby came to visit. Beautifully decorated and had everything you would need.
5.0
From beginning to end, this home is an ideal location. It is in a nice community. The lock is secure, and we never felt unsafe. Immaculately clean, and I don’t say this lightly. Well supplied with items that I hadn’t brought along, like a hair dryer & sewing kit. The owner’s guidance was very helpful for activity planning. Behind the back fence, a moose meandered by one day! 100% enthusiastic review! Thank you Lynette for a wonderful stay!

We traveled from Southeast Alaska to compete in state for gymnastics! This stay was perfect. House was clean, quiet and fit us all well! Would recommend this house. Definitely staying there again!
5.0
This was a wonderful place to stay for our family on our trip to Anchorage during the winter. It was 15 minutes away from downtown Anchorage with a direct drive on the Seward Highway. Many restaurants were available within five minutes of the house and it was so quiet in the small cul-de-sac that it’s located in. The beds were soft and comfortable end the house had all the amenities you could ever need. The hosts were amazing and were attentive to any needs.
This is a duplex rental and I was concerned that my children might be too loud or we might hear the neighbors. The soundproofing between the two buildings is amazing and we never knew that they were there. We will definitely be staying here again when we are in the area.

5.0
This home was exactly as advertised (if not better). Very clean, incredibly comfortable beds, in-house laundry, and a well supplied kitchen. Also had a nice yard, but we didn't have much chance to use it due to the weather. The location was convenient both to the airport and to the main parts of Anchorage.
We will definitely look to rent again the next time we go to Anchorage.
5.0
Wonderful location close to everything. Home was very cozy and comfortable. Host was very helpful and let us check in . There was plenty of room for our family. We will definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your beautifully decorated home with us.

There were no exterior pictures of this property... for a reason. The little cul-de-sac of nine homes had no less than 45 vehicles (motor homes, trailers, vans, trucks and cars) parked along the driveways and road. HOWEVER, once we entered this home it was nothing but a beautiful experience. The properly was well appointed and VERY CLEAN. The home is small, but it has been recently updated and the space is used very well. All in all, this little spot filled our last minute rental needs to a tee. Couldn't have been more pleased.

Lynette's place was one of the cleanest rental homes I've stayed in. It had everything we needed, and the nice plush bath towels were a treat. The location was great and the decor was beautiful. Lynette was so kind and helpful as well! Would definitely stay here again.

What an amazing "home away from home" Lynette's property is! It is so comfortable and cozy - she has done a spectacular job with everything. We all commented, several times, how happy we were to be staying there - especially after a long day of adventuring - we looked forward to climbing into those comfortable beds!! Lynette has seen to every little detail to ensure your stay is pleasant and enjoyable!! Thank you for the memorable experience!

Lovely Home
Our family had a great experience! The house was clean, well organized, and had so many extra little touches! Lynette had a little bowl of snacks, hot cocoa, coffee, and teas available for us! There were paper towels, extra garbage bags, and back up toilet paper rolls. The night lights and small fans made great additions to the bedrooms. There were dishwasher tablets and laundry detergent too! The filtered water pitcher in the refrigerator was a nice surprise! We really enjoyed our time in AK and having a great duplex to return to each evening was wonderful!

Clean, well organized, quiet property in good location
This is a very well maintained duplex. It was quiet and very well setup with everything you need. A lot of thought has been put in to providing everything you need when traveling and to accommodate a family- plenty of towels, dishsoap, plastic warehouse, etc. The location is central. Has a nice backyard with lights as well. This property worked really well for my family.

We loved our stay at this beautiful and quiet home. We appreciated the care with which the house was prepared for our arrival with many amenities and lovely extras such as protein bars, a new toothbrush, hot chocolate and menus for local restaurants. We could walk to nearby stores and coffee shops and we loved being in a real neighborhood. It was a perfect "home-away-from-home" while attending a family reunion in Anchorage. Our 9 year-old grandson and 13 year-old granddaughter had a sleepover and they said the house was one of the most beautiful they ever saw.
Communication with the owner/host was quick and pleasant. We hope to stay here again in the future!
