Alaska's Retreat - Relaxing Lakeside Retreat

Cozy and very homely

This is a warning. Do not deal with these people. Terse due to character limit. Property would be passable if maintained. It was not. Found broken furniture, no information booklet, no working fire alarm. Could be worked through, but: The real problem is the owners are deceptive, muck you about, & then keep the money. Listing included a spa (I have screen captures). It does not have this. Asking what should be done about the fire alarms & missing spa, they disavowed the listing, & in the ~15 minutes between asking the question & getting a response, the listing was changed to remove the spa. To attempt to gaslight one so severely is intolerable. Immediately asked for a refund & found other last-minute accommodation. Following up on refund, they insisted that involved raising the issue with Stayz, not them. Nothing on the website indicates that this is correct. So my time & the time of Stayz support was wasted confirming they had mislead again. At the last, owners claim to have done all that they could by fixing the fire alarms, rest is all some malfunction of Stayz, & don’t see any reason for refund. I have the screen-captures, messages, & photos to support what I say. If the owner responds about how this is all a mistake of their agent mis-listing the property, an insane coincidence that the listing was updated just after it came under scrutiny, & nothing to do with them, simply ask yourself – even if that was so, then why should I wear it & they keep all the money?

Great place and a fantastic location. Easy walk into the town centre or roll out of the door into the lake. Will definitely stay here again.

Great spot on the lake. Walking distance to town (Banjo Inn and Bowling Club).

Really enjoyed staying at Alaska’s Retreat. It was clean, warm and comfortable and has a beautiful outlook onto the lake. Would definitely recommend staying there.

good service，thank you so much for all！

A lovely comfortable stay that was perfect for our needs. I especially enjoyed the full kitchen.

Was a lovely place to stay. We enjoyed evening swims in the lake & was great for bushwalking in the mountains.

This property was great - quiet location - short trip to shops. The home was very cosy and comfortable with great heating and every amenity needed. Loved the comfy lounge! Kerryn our contact was great to deal with also ??

Unit was comfortable and fairly well appointed. Some issues with one of the beds, but the property manager responded quickly. Nice views over the lake. We enjoyed our Christmas break in Jindabyne.
