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.

Property owners were great. Had a small problem with downstairs toilet and it was rectified immediately. With no interruptions to our vacation. Can’t say enough about the owners. Very attentive and the house was gorgeous. Really enjoyed the deck and the beautiful property around it. Landscaping was amazing. Enjoyed sitting on the front porch smelling the lilacs. 10 stars if they offered it!

The Preston’s house was the perfect space for our family gathering. Everything was clean and easy to find. The property was beautiful and everyone had lots of fun being together in one space.

Truly enjoyed our stay. We had 11 family members - all adults - staying together. The house came equipped with everything we needed - including spices, shampoos, detergent. Perfect place for visiting the Anchorage area. We day-tripped to several other towns. Even saw a moose in the front yard! Highly recommend!

We had a great time here! We maxed out the house at 15 but had plenty of space and everything we needed.

The house was a perfect home away from home for our Alaskan vacation. The kitchen was amazing and was stocked with any utensil or pot /pan you would ever need. We were even able to have waffles for breakfast on my son's 28th birthday. Jessica was amazing and answered all my pre-trip questions within a reasonable amount of time. We also loved the deck with the fireplace, the hot tub and firepit, they all helped add settings for more memories from the trip. The house was also perfectly located for our trip and the activities we had planned. Thank you for sharing your house with us for our unforgetable trip!!

Superb Hideaway
This magazine like estate had everything we needed and more. From a wonderful hot tub, fire pit, deck, and manicured grounds, right down to a coffee maker with built in bean grinder.
I once stayed at the JW Marriott in Hong Kong, China. As luxurious as it was, it has nothing over this place.

This was a lovely location with a beautifully cared for property. The kitchen was nice and fully stocked.
However, the sleeping arrangements were not as described in the listing. There were 14 of us- 11 adults and 3 kids. The listing states it can sleep 15 so I assumed there was plenty of sleeping room. The bed description in the listing stated "Bedroom 1- King with sleep sofa/futon, Bedroom 2- queen, Bedroom 3- Loft twin bed and double bed, Bedroom 4- one regular bunk bed and one twin over double bunk bed, Bedroom 5- family room with Air mattress"
When we arrived, Bedroom 3- only had one double bed and there was no air mattress in the family room. I contacted the owner to ask about the sleeping arrangements and was told that it was set up for 14 people in that 2 people could sleep on couches- not pull out couches, just couches. There were extra sheets, however there were not extra bed pillows. I ended up going to Walmart and buying our own blowup air mattress as sleeping on a couch for 5 days was not going to be comfortable. I don't know how you would sleep 15 people there, especially if they were all adults.
There were also not enough towels for all 14 of us, so we had to share and keep drying them in between use. The garbage was full when we arrived (which isn't necessarily the fault of the owner, but annoying non the less) we squished as much as we could in the can for garbage day and took our recycling to the landfill / recycling center. Maybe an extra garbage can would help.
I'm sure it would be a fine space for a smaller group. The listing needs to be updated to reflect the actual sleeping arrangements.
It was in a convenient location, and if the weather had been nicer we would have enjoyed the outside spaces more.

Beautiful home
We loved staying at this house for our trip to Alaska. The house was beautiful. Loved the warmth of christian decor in every room. A trip of a lifetime for sure.

Perfect home and property for our vacation with 4 adults and 5 kids. When we weren’t out exploring Alaska- we grilled out, had a movie and game night, and enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit!
And really my only criticism would be the pillows- but if that’s it not bad.
Great owners and communication! We would stay here again!

Fantastic Property!
Fantastic Property and owners! We held our wedding here and it was fantastic. The house was perfect for sleeping arrangement. The yard was huge and beautiful. Charles and Jessica are fantastic and very responsive to any questions we had. Plenty of parking for guests. This is definitely and ideal spot to have a wedding. This house is built for entertaining but also great for those quiet times in the morning. Everyone had their own space without being piled on top of each other. By far one of the best places we have stayed at!

Stunning Home + Amazing Owners = Fantastic Family Vacation
My wife and I spent two weeks with our extended family in this wonderful house.
From the moment we entered the house we were spellbound.
We were met by a loaf of freshly baked bread placed on the gorgeous granite kitchen counter. We found the home to be fantastically furnished. Our group of 8 adults and 8 children (ages 1-17) had plenty of space to separate into small family groups when desired and several spacious gathering places that accommodated all of us at once for family games, conversations, and fun.
As the primary cook for our large group, I found the kitchen to be awesome! From the double oven to the gas stove to the provision of every conceivable pot, pan, dish, etc. as well as the tremendous amount of counter space available, I found the kitchen to be more than capable of making every family meal delicious and enjoyable.
The property is located a few miles outside the local community of Eagle River where our family lived about 20 years ago. The house is far enough off the main residential road that when you are staying there it feels like you are camping in the woods. We loved roasting marshmallows and eating s'mores around the fire at the beautiful fire pit behind the house and several mornings we awoke to moose in the front and back yard.
The house was close enough to Anchorage that we were able to enjoy Fur Rondy festivities, go skiing at Hillberg and and Alyeska Resort, and attend the ceremonial start of the Iditarod. We were also able to visit the Iditarod Headquarters in Wasilla and attend the Iditarod Restart in Willow.
The owners were incredibly responsive throughout our stay and made us feel like friends not short term guests.
In summary, I highly recommend this property!!!

Goes beyond ALL expectations
We are a small women’s group that have been together for 25 years. We have had many retreats in LOTS of places but this home and setting went beyond ALL our expectations. This was a perfect home and a lovely, quiet spot for the 6-8 members who were able to come to this retreat. We cooked fabulous meals for each other in the well-equipped kitchen. All of us could sit together at the ample dinning room table for great conversations as we ate. Clean up was a snap with the dishwasher. We appreciated having the bottled water in the kitchen and bedrooms to drink. The kitchen table nook and additional table tucked into the living room allowed us to have different crafts and activities going at the same time. We also enjoyed getting cozy on the sofas in the living room with the fire in the fireplace going. Our eldest member was able to manage the whole first floor with her rolling walker. The downstairs TV room right around the corner from the half bath turned into a perfect sleeping room for her. Everyone else slept in the bedrooms upstairs. All were happy with the mattresses and bedding that provided wonderful rest at the end of our busy days together. The hot tub was enjoyed nightly and was a much appreciated luxury. The other unique touch that was universally enjoyed was the doTERRA soaps, oils and bath products. A sweet detail that reminded us, with each use, how special it is to be there. We did manage a small bonfire one rainy evening in the beautifully crafted fire pit. The wood was nicely aged, dry and made a good fire despite the rain. We LOVED how easy it was for all of us to be together in this large, beautiful home and are hoping to return in the future.

Beautiful home with plenty of space for our large group. The outdoor space is lovely.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! The home is lovely with lots of space for everyone. The beds were so comfortable after a long day. Hot tub was enjoyed by all. The swing was also a huge hit with the kids. We would definitely stay again!!!

Perfect for a large group
My family of 13 (10 adults + 3 kids aged 1, 6, and 10) just returned from our Alaska family reunion and this home was the perfect base for us. It was located about 20 minutes outside of downtown Anchorage in a quiet neighborhood. The home was very cozy for get togethers, but large enough that we can spread out when we wanted privacy. We love to cook and the kitchen was very well stocked. We found handy gadgets not normally available in a rental like potato masher (two sizes eveb), garlic press, etc. Having the washer and dryer was handy. My family also made use of the fire pit (s'mores!) and the hot tub. The kids enjoyed running around the backyard. A moose with two calves even showed up one morning. It's very difficult to find a house big enough to accommodate us all, and we all agreed that this was on of the best rentals we've had. We did a long day trip to Seward. Some went to Denali but the National Park was far enough from this location to warrant an overnight stay. The hosts were very quick to respond by email and answered all our questions immediately. Thanks for hosting us!

Incredibly sweet home and place to stay. The house was so comfortable and clean. We would come back. We went to Anchorage a lot but never found a way that took 15 minutes-All GPS says 20-25. That did not hinder our trips nor detract from our stay-we loved it here!

Luxurious!
Such a beautiful home and it had everything! We were a family of 6 and it felt like being at our own home in California. Fitted our family perfectly and enjoyed the town. Thank you so much for everything we were so appreciative of the home and the comfort that it gave us.
