About this house rental

Situated in Alaska, this charming house for $150 per night is a great choice for your next trip. While the unit is advertised for a number of people, it is great for a couple as well. We bought a two bedroom log cabin in the 60's. In 1974 we built a two story addition to accommodate our six children. At the time we wired and plumbed one bedroom so it could someday be a kitchen. The downstairs of the addition consists of a double garage, sun room and dining room. The upstairs is where guests are welcome. It has four bedrooms, sitting area, kitchen and porch. We have rented it monthly for many years but this time it was vacated we decided to do it as a VRBO. We live in the cabin downstairs. Also on the property is a cabin that the original owner built for his parents and a barn that we built for our children and converted to a house when they were grown. We did bed and breakfast in them in the 1990's. At the time we registered the name Riverside Retreat. After a few years we decided to rent them on a monthly basis to have more time to play and travel. We can no longer do some of the things we used to do so are doing VRBO in the cabin too. We enjoy marrying people. We also enjoy sharing the space we have taken for granted for so many years. It really is a special spot.

Very quirky rental in a great location on the Chena River. Close to UAF and town. Everything is dated, which isn't an issue. It was tired and didn't feel sanitized. The smell of cigarette smoke wafted upstairs because the space is not fully separated. Not pleasant. On the plus side, we could see the Northern Lights from the house!

I was hoping to be able to post pictures of how dirty this place was upon my arrival. I feel bad leaving such a bad review but I feel that future guests should know this: Stained bed covers, dirty pillow cases, dirty carpeting, dirty kitchen (floor, table, counter), dirty washroom (everything - had to go to store to purchase cleaning supplies), entire place smelled like cigarette smoke, getting to the laundry room was scary and a bit disturbing. Again, I wish I could post pictures so you can see for yourself. My advise: look elsewhere

Location's wonderful. Beautiful yard. Lovely host. However.....the accomodations are so dingey, uncomfortable, and dated. There's no living room. The carpets are incredibly dirty. The shower barely works. Half the kitchen sink was unusable. Dirty dishcloths in sink. Old food in fridge. The bedding, sheets, blankets, pillows and bedspread, kind of creepy. Children's highschool posters overhead.Most of all DEAD animals and hides everywhere. That was especially disconcerting to wildlife lovers who have spent years living in and exploring Alaska. We dont mean to be mean or insulting. We thought a lo about not saying anything. It just needs a lot of help and love before we'd ever return

Very nice place to stay fit 6 guys well. Had all the amenities one could ask for. It is alaska if you expect the Hilton stay in the lower 48 or just find another place. This place will fit your every need kitchen and separate bed rooms if i come back i will definitely stay here again. Thanks to the host.
