Great location! Very spacious! Impeccably clean! Wonderful amenities!

A lovely place to stay! The property was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay again. My only critique is that the listing description does not mention that there are multiple units on the property and they share the outdoor space, spa tub/grill/fire pit, it turned out not to be a problem but was a surprise. Also to note is the non-smoking (including vapes) and no pets applies to the outside space as well as the understandable inside.

The overall experience was good considering we were surrounded by family and friends to remember and celebrate our Father who passed.
Some drawbacks were the homeowner double booking the property and not being able to check in at midnight as pre-approved. We had to look for a hotel and after 2 failed attempts finally found one at 2am with sleepy kids and it was pretty expensive! After zero apology or acknowledgement, I was told she couldn't find our convo or my number which she texted me on that morning. Wasn't a great start.
The overall space is shared among 3 different rental units and the owner is on site, often. 11 visits that we knew of including a bizarre visit in the evening that felt rather intrusive.
There are a lot of rules that you are not aware of until you are in the home and honestly it created a rather anxious stay.
The home is a beautiful renovation in a nice location, so that was good. It accommodated a nice group of us which was a plus; the large table was perfect for cards, dice, dinners, laughter, and catching up!
If you are ok with sharing the property and amenities with others and a homeowner that seems to always be there than it will be fine. The house is beautiful (there are several rules to keep it that way, most are common sense but just know they will be provided when you arrive). It is close to a lot of fun things! I hope whatever experience you have, it is amazing because Juneau is an absolutely incredible place to visit!

We are a family of 5 with young children and we loved it! The property had all the amenities that was needed to live comfortably. The kitchen was fully stocked and the home was cozy and comfortable. The yard was great for playing and even had some yard games. The owner was lovely and welcoming. Would 100% stay here again!
