We enjoyed our visit in Coopers Landing. This home has beautiful views and we felt safe and relaxed. Enjoyed lots of hiking and views of wildlife The owner Rob, was helpful and shared lots of tips with us.
Fishing trip with friends and this home was a perfect place to relax after a long day on & in the water.
Robb was very easy to deal with and house was true to listing. Three of us in for the week to fish the Kenai and the house worked great for us. Thanks Robb
We've stayed in a number of VRBO's over the years. Some have been outstanding others I'll never go back to. This one needs some work. It is in a great location in Cooper Landing. Any questions I had about the property were answered quickly. The bedrooms were good size and the kitchen was well stocked with all that you would need. However, when we arrived there were a number of windows open and it was about 56 degrees in the house. I turned on the heat which is radiant floor heating which takes a while. Well, after 3 hours I contacted the owner to come over and check his system Something was broken so he brought over 2 electric space heaters. The heat should have been turned on and the windows closed so the place was warm when we arrived. As others have said the bed in the master squeaks and there are no blackout shades. I brought all this up to the owner. He said that all of these things were going to be addressed and should be fixed soon. As soon as these things are addressed I think this will be a great place.
Robb is a great host with clear check-in instructions. Clean house, nice decor, updated kitchen and bathrooms. Will definitely come back.
Not a deal breaker but coming from lower 48 and traveling to the land of midnight sun, black out shades our drapes would have been nice.
We visited for a wedding and loved the accommodations.
This house sits in the woods just minutes from the float fishing launch. The fishing guides picked us up at the end of the driveway - so convenient! This house was VERY clean and the bedding and towels are high quality. The dining table seats six and the kitchen appliances are nice. We cooked our meals while we stayed. There is a terrific outdoor grill if you want to cook your fish. I would definitely stay here again between September and April. A few things to consider that may be negatives for you: 1. no black out blinds in the bedrooms and lots of windows. If you stay between May 1 and September 1 that means your bedroom will never be dark. Bring eye shades. 2. poor lighting - this will not be an issue if you stay between May 1 and Sept 1 as it won't be dark out. We wanted to sit and read or knit in the living room, but there are no lamps. Also very few bedside lamps so bring an e-reader or book light if you want to read in bed between September and April. 3. no wine glasses. 4. no towel racks or hooks in the upstairs bathroom. 5. The bed in the master bedroom is squeaky - the people who slept in it ended up wearing ear plugs to bed. 6. there are dogs wandering around the neighborhood, so watch your step (dog poops). The dogs are very friendly. 7. I had to text for check-in instructions - they didn't come automatically through VRBO. Check in is VERY easy, but if you don't get the instructions, just text. The owner replied within a few minutes.
Renting was easy and efficient, contact was friendly and quick to respond. A great first week in Alaska.
