Paula was friendly on the phone for all our communications. The house was very large which was nice for our group of 6 individuals.

This is a wonderful home. We LOVED working with the owner! She was so kind and thoughtful, made everything easy.The house is huge! We planned to have a very big party, but some of us weren't able to make the trip so we really rattled around in this huge home.The house was very clean and comfortable. We found the location to be ideal. We had family members arriving and departing throughout our stay so the home's proximity to the airport was ideal. Paula's home is very close to the Mendenhall Glacier which was everyone's #1 attraction - another plus. We found that driving into Juneau convenient, so all in all, the location really worked for us. Finally, we loved the neighborhood, very quiet - family oriented. 5 stars for location.Huge thank you to Paula for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home - Thank you!!!

The place and host were simply fantastic
6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
The location is great for hiking, fishing, whale watching, and going to Mendenhall Glacier. It’s about an 18-20 minute drive from downtown Juneau, but 4 minutes from the airport. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. The host met us at the house which was unexpected, but nice. The yard needed to be mowed, and at first it was not our top property. However, it didn’t get mowed until the evening before we left town 7 days later. We did our best to use the patio furniture while in the yard. The inside of the house didn’t fully reflect the photos. We were expecting to see all that was in the photos, but there are some home changes. They are: not as bright in the lower level as expected, The floors looked clean but our socks and feet looked black after being barefoot on them, not all the bedrooms looked like the pictures, but close. The exercise room/laundry room was not what we were expecting, no exercise equipment (one was outside) and there were beds in there as well (overflow). The smell from the outside propane tank filtered into to laundry room so I would say it’s not the best place for people to sleep. The host was lovely, and the house has a lot of the day to day needs. We were a nice size group, we all had our own rooms and it is a good place to stay with a large family or friend group. Our trip was adventurous and fun!
