Clean, quiet, quaint come to mind… Donna and Ed are awesome. The location is in a quiet residential area, which is cozy but super convenient to everything you need. Enjoyed the view from the deck. Perfect stop to relax after a 5,000 mile bucket list road trip. Thx!!

This place was a perfect fit for our family. Great area to be. Quiet yet close to amenities. Our Host, Donna was amazing! The space had everything you could think of and was very cozy and inviting. Close to hiking trails, skiing and the mountains. We saw Moose every day. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Wow! What a sweet little home away from home we found in Alaska … thank you Donna and Ed for sharing!! We absolutely wanted for nothing!! Everything was so well appointed!! From the super comfy bed to a kitchen that made it so hard for us to even want to go out to eat. Gorgeous view … especially at night looking over the twinkling lights of Anchorage. Loved the variety of birds that visited everyday and even the moose that visited at night. Extremely well located to grocery stores, etc. but far enough away to be able to enjoy the peace and quiet. Winter is a perfect time to experience Alaska … Fur Rhondy, Iditarod, Northern Lights, Denali, Turnagain Arms, Moose, Eagles, Otters ,Seals … just to name a few of what this beautiful state has to offer.
Again Donna, thank you guys so much!!

This was the last stop on The instructions to get in were very easy to get in. It was a little confusing finding the rental because the address given was 10000 but the building was 9998.
We were very happy with the house!
Thank you for sharing your space with us.

We enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. It was well appointed and comfortable, and it was very reasonably priced, especially considering how expensive hotels are in Anchorage in summer. We appreciated having additional fans in the bedroom for white noise at night, and the bed was comfortable. We also loved the gas fireplace and kitchen. We arrived late at night and were a bit confused about where the apartment was located because there are multiple buildings at the property and the listing said street number XXXXX, but the apartment is over the garage which is actually XXXX. We found it quickly enough though, and hopefully we didn't wake anyone up walking around the property!

My family and I were very excited to be hosted by Donna, unfortunately plans were cancelled because of a severe storm.
Our plans were not can celled until the Day of our check in with Donna-Donna was very courteous and kind in her communications and she went the extra mile and had the house stocked with food for my family, for our arrival! Although I did not get to experience her vrbo, I am sure it would have been amazing based off of the true compassion and care Donna gave through our communications! I rate Donna a 5 star and I am sure her place is just as Great!
Thank you Donna!

Me and my adult daughter stayed here and absolutely loved it! It is so warm and cozy. It is decorated so nicely and anything we could have needed was already there. Donna was great to communicate with. We look forward to going back and staying again. We'll definitely be back!

The 2 bedroom home was so perfect I booked it again for my return visit to Anchorage.
Kitchen and bathrooms are very well stocked. The decor is very cute and Alaskan. The beds and bedding are super comfy.
The fireplace was divine.
Everything was perfect and I will definitely stay here again.

This house was delightful, very well stocked and comforts unending. The location was a short distance to restaurants, shopping, and all sorts of activities. This place was our very own oasis.

This apartment, which feels more like a cabin, is absolutely wonderful. If it is available, stop looking and book it! Located just outside of Anchorage in the hills, it has everything you need. Clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped. There are even a few furry and feathered friends (outside) to provide entertainment if you grow weary of trying to spot a moose. A nature trail is just around the corner, but weather prevented us from exploring it. Loved our stay here!

Wooded Guesthouse
Donna and Ed were the perfect hosts of this lovely guesthouse; so helpful but not intrusive.

We had a wonderful time. The house was clean, warm and had AMAZING views of the Cook Inlet, making for very relaxing evenings watching the sunset over the Alaska Range. I would highly recommend this VRBO and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Beautiful locale, lovely property!
Hillside East is a lovely place to stay - the unit is gorgeous, with lovely views of the city, and walkable access to many trails. You get the best of both words - convenience to the city, while also being out in nature. Kitchen is well appointed (I like to cook for myself, so this was great for us, and is definitely not the case at all VRBOs), and Donna was very responsive to any questions we had. All told, I look forward to coming back!

Great stay, great location and a great little place.
We had a short visit to Anchorage for a family obligation and needed a place that could comfortably host our family of five. We found Donna’s listing and I immediately contacted Donna to see if they were available as the website was a little vague. She responded immediately and preaccepted our request. I finished the booking in minutes and that took care of a major concern for our trip. I have had the booking process go badly and leave me in a bad position, I was thrilled to have it nailed down in minutes.
When we arrived We were thrilled at the cleanliness, decoration and amenities that the guest house provides. It’s very nicely decorated and arranged, with five people living in a smaller space than we’re used to, furnishing and layout are really important. The kitchen had great appliances, we made breakfast every morning and greatly appreciated the fresh eggs and butter that were in the fridge.
Hillside is a beautiful area and the views of Anchorage are awesome. We even had a day clear enough to see Denali on the horizon.
The washer and dryer worked well and we were able to run a couple of loads through to keep down on work when we got home.
The bathroom was clean and stocked with body wash and shampoo.
Location is always a matter of person taste, but I really enjoyed the drive up the mountain. We we’re heading to Eagle River everyday and it only took 25 minutes.
Long story short, this is the first place I check for my next visit to Anchorage and I really hope that it’s not already booked up.

We were extremely surprised and grateful for ALL of the thought put into the home. We flew into Fairbanks from L.A. and ended to visit anchorage for a day only - but because there were no overpriced hotels left we found Donna's listing and decided to stay in anchorage while my daughter's dorm opened up. We didn't think it was going to be the value it was! She proved you don't need to over charge to provide great hospitality! 5 star hotel it's not.... It's a 10 star homey feeling upstairs unit! Kind of a take something bring something honor system! We saw items that either Donna left for her guests' use or what other guests have left behind to use (flour,spices, shampoo, conditioner, launder, etc) and we also left a lil behind that we couldn't take back on a 6 hour drive. Just realize it's up on a nice secluded quiet hillside area - about a good 15 minute drive from downtown Anchorage. If you went noise def not the place. But is you value some peace and family time where you can cook your own meals or do a lil therapeutic baking... This is your haven!

We couldn’t have found a better home to stay in while we discovered Alaska. It was the perfect home base for our excursions north and south of Anchorage. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We really appreciated to the quiet neighborhood and the black out curtains and soft beds made sleeping a dream after our long days of exploring. We would come back in a heartbeat!!

Perfect stay!
We absolutely loved Donna’s rental! Everything was pristine, and we enjoyed admiring all of the beautiful art/decor in every room. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything you could ever need - just like being at home. We even had a moose sighting in the back yard! Do not hesitate to book this property - a total gem!

Wonderful Property, Wonderful Vacation
We had a wonderful winter vacation in Anchorage. This property is located perfectly on the side foothill of the mountains and is easy to drive in and out of during the deepest part of winter. The layout was perfect for my family (4 adults and 2 pre teens). The owners live adjacent to the rental. The interior is wonderfully decorated and the amenities were the same as being at home (including washer and dryer). I would highly recommend this property for any season.
