The house is beautiful. The kitchen was one of the best stocked I've experienced and incredibly spacious. We loved the games and puzzles (managed to complete one during our short stay). There is a deck facing the creek which is the perfect place to enjoy some downtime after a busy day of sight-seeing. House is super convenient to everything with off-Street parking. Highly recommend.

The property is a hidden gem! Our family stayed for two weeks and the property was well furnished and clean. The home is very spacious and comfortable for a two bedroom home. The kitchen was well stocked with high end appliances and utensils. There are numerous hiking trails and park right out the back door. Additionally, the owner was few personable and easy to work with. 😊

Everything about this house is perfect! It is a 10-15 minute drive from the airport and close to downtown. There is a beautiful creek directly behind the house, with a walking trail and park. The house itself is so well appointed! The kitchen is well stocked for preparing meals with pots, pans, utensils and seasonings. The bathrooms have plush towels and full sized shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The living area is large and would be ideal for a family gathering. The dining table is HUGE! They even had cards, puzzles and games. There is a single car attached garage. And best of all, there is a full size washer and dryer. It feels like they anticipated all our needs. John was very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Our stay in Anchorage was nice and we really enjoyed this rental. The open floorplan was great and gave us room to spread out and relax! Thanks for the great rental and we'd consider renting again, if we find out way back to Anchorage.

Very good location, close to downtown yet far enough away it’s not a busy area. The house was perfect for 4 adults. John was helpful and quick to respond to anything we needed. We want to come back again in the summer and we would gladly chose this property again.

This Chester Creek Gem was our "Home Away from Home" over the Christmas Holidays with our family; when we returned to Alaska to spend Christmas with our children and grandchildren. From our first contact with host, John O'Hara, we were impressed by his warmth, responsiveness, availability, gracious and congenial willingness to go over and above to make or stay a very memorable holiday. He even provided and set up a beautifully decorated lovely Christmas Tree before our arrival! This home is warm, sits on a lovely creek, and is beautifully furnished, impeccably clean, and the amenities are thoughtful and detailed from the the sparkling kitchen, to comfortable beds, extra bedding, and blankets. We were able to easily prepare family meals for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Everything we needed was at hand. in the kitchen. The bathrooms are detailed, with thoughtful extra bathroom amenities and great towels!. This property is very conveniently located midway between downtown and mid-town Anchorage, along Chester Creek. Our small grandchildren loved watching the ducks along the creek! We would definitely engage this home again. Thank you John for a very merry and memorable Christmas!! Dennis and Linda Maguire

The best way to describe this property is perfect. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s stunning. The location was wonderful. Super comfy beds, well stocked, beautiful kitchen, and we were so grateful for the laundry facilities! Would definitely recommend, and we’d come stay here again in a heartbeat.

Issues but nice enough.

Issues but nice enough.

We had an issue with the blinds falling out of the wall and crashing down, luckily none of us were near when it happened. These things happen as it is an older home. Promptly told host and he had them fixed the next day. Last day host and housekeeper showed up 1 1/2hrs before checkout to interrogate and kick us out early. According to host next people were there early and we needed to get out ASAP to accommodate them... never had issues like this before.

I stayed at the Chester Creek with my kids, our first time visit to Alaska. The property is perfectly located for running and biking and walking to downtown. We took some tips from John for hiking and I am glad we did! All our questions were quickly answered and John was most gracious helping us have the best time. We will definitely be back!

The remodel was lovely, John was very good to get back when I had questions. The doors were a bit “sticky”, however our friend place and the next place we stayed were the same, must be an Alaska thing. It was nice for us two couples to have our own bath, nice kitchen with bar, great fireplace, and really nicely decorated. Plenty of towels and washer and dryer available. Super great stay!

This was how a house should look like. Have not stayed in one that matches this quality so far. I wish I knew basic cooking ingredients were not available, probably written somewhere that I missed. I would however return if I could.
