We arrived late and we had snacks and drinks waiting for us. We spent our days out and about but enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere of Hanks House upon our return. If you, like us, want a retreat…sign up.

This is just a great property. Its a house with beautifully done Alaskan alpine landscaping including wildflowers and in the woods. You have total pricacy and we spent many evenings grilling on the deck and letting the kids play in the forest around the house. The house has a lot of nice touches to enhance the Alaska experience like paintings/prints by Alaskan artists, pictures of wildlife, and near floor to ceiling windows to enjoy views of the forest (including the occaisional moose) from inside the house. Inside is cozy and theres an upstairs deck with birdseye views of the property and even a peek theough the trees to the mountains and sea around Anchorage. Also situated on a hill/mountain with the massive Chugach range and state park just above the house. Flattop just a few min away.

Hanks House was a fabulous stay. Its location and vicinity to everything in/near Anchorage is/was our main reason for choosing Hanks House (we are familiar with AK and were on a semi business trip). We were able to sightsee, do business, and return home at the end of the day to a wonderful retreat. Our Hostess/Host were through the woods, next door...extremely responsive to our needs, and never saw them maintaining our privacy too. Highly reccommend this VRBO if you are vacationing in AK and need an excellent jump off point!

Loved the location. Close to all the activities we did but still felt remote with all the trees.
