Paradise found! Beauty & Luxury- 20 min from Anchorage, HOT TUB, privacy!

The home is lovely and has lots of space outside for enjoying the clear air and the greenery. The hot tub is very welcoming after a hike or just to look at the sky at night.

We loved every aspect of our stay here-- the grounds are gorgeously maintained and spacious, with a large lawn that was so inviting that we ended up setting up a volleyball net! The hottub was fabulous too, and the fire pit out back was a wonderful spot to hang out when the rain stopped and things dried out a bit. The kitchen was a big highlight for us too: because we had multiple generations of family staying here (grandparents, parents, kids), we wanted to be able to have space to talk and hang out during meal preps, and this open-plan and beautifully appointed kitchen was perfect. A real pleasure to cook in, too, because of the excellent cookware and much better than average supply of appliances etc. Communication with the hosts was seamless and conscientious, and the house was sparkling clean and ready for us exactly at check-in time. The location in Eagle River was perfect for us as a base of operations for trips to Willow, Talkeetna, and elsewhere (including gorgeous hikes/walks at Thunderbird Falls and the Eagle River Nature Center, both very close by), and we were close enough to Anchorage itself to dip in there for lunch and the Zoo one day, and to shuttle some of our party back and forth from the airport. I would recommend this lovely home to anybody who wants a large and well-appointed house as a base of operations in the Anchorage area, and it worked so well for us as a place to host multiple generations for our family reunion. Thank you, Charley & Jess!

We recently stayed with two families and absolutely loved everything about the house. We have now stayed in 25+ VRBO's and this one is a top favorite due to having LIVE plants, extra blankets & fans and extremely comfortable furniture in every room. We easily had two adults taking afternoon naps between excursions on the multiple oversized couches! Our kids were able to burn extra energy in the inviting yard while we grilled our caught salmon. We even utilized the provided recipe in the binder- yum!

The house was a good size for our party and children.

I loved everything about our stay. The place was clean and cozy, and the massage chair was a very cool bonus (once you figure out how to set it up for YOU so it doesn't actually hurt). 10/10 would stay here again. Glimpsed a moose and her baby whizzing by one day.

I can't say enough nice things about our stay, we had a group of 10 and it fit all of us comfortably, it's in a great location, that is close to everything but quiet as well. There was lots to do and it was just the perfect Alaskan experience.

We had a wonderful time. Lots of activities for kids and lots of space. Would definitely stay there again.

There were 6 of us all adults. Dad, family female friend, brother, sister, brother-in-law and myself really needed 5 separate bedrooms & I didn’t realize the 5th bedroom was inside the master bedroom. Everything was super cozy & well decorated. We loved the see through fireplace, hot tub & fire pit area. Lots of areas to spread out & enjoy outdoors. The hosts are very nice & quick to respond. We would highly recommend for any family going to visit Alaska. It was a great central point to checking out a lot of Alaska by train & car. Plus we had a great deep sea fishing trip too.

In early August, our son married his beautiful bride, who is from Alaska. Our family traveled up for their Destination wedding and we booked this beautiful home for our family to stay at while we were there. There was plenty of room for us to move around and we enjoyed every aspect of the home. Everything about the house and large yard was enjoyable and we would definitely book again! Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your home!

our entire family - 3 generations - stayed here. It is perfect. We spend a few days exploring central Alaska before taking the train to Seward to board a cruise ship. the house is just ideal - plenty of room, well appointed kitchen, great, private location. I could go on. I'd stay here again for sure the next time we are in Alaska.
