About this house rental
The house is nestled on a quiet, u-shaped road, across from a park with a stunning view of the Chugach range from the dining room table.
The house is located 2.5 miles from downtown with a straight shot on the Glenn Hwy. Downtown has the 5th Avenue mall and many quaint, souvenir stores, the museum, Performing Arts Center and many restaurants. Five minutes away is the Northway mall and Tikahtnu center which has a movie theater, Kohl's, Target, Best Buy and several restaurants.
The house has 4 bedrooms total and 3.5 bathrooms. Three bedrooms in the house, 1 room with a king bed and other two rooms with queen beds, a dresser, and a TV. The fourth room is a detached guest room with a king bed and a queen bed, microwave, small refrigerator, and a flat screen TV. It is about 10 steps outside, to access a full bathroom inside the house. The outside room is great for the kids to hang out and play in. You can lock the gate to the backyard and not worry. There is another door to enter the house through the carport, so if other adults choose that room they don’t have to come through the 3rd bedroom.
There is a carport for one car and the driveway will hold two cars side by side. Street parking as well.
The BBQ and patio furniture are at the edge of the carport to enjoy the summer sun. The backyard has lush green grass. There is a pub table and 6 chairs for outside.

Seven adults and 1 teen stayed in cute, well maintained, well stocked and very clean home. Comfortable beds, 3 full baths and 1/2 bath made getting out daily easy. Lots of linens. Everything needed for comfy stay was provided. Loved that all 8 could sit at table together!! Always plenty of hot water for showers.
Guests in side house do have to come to main house for facilities but this was expected.

The back door didn't lock from the inside so no one wanted to use that back bathroom. We DID use it a little but not as much as we would have if the door could be locked somehow. It also wasn't as close to eating and stores as we expected. But it was a very nice place to use as home and we enjoyed the stay. Owners were very pleasant and super helpful.

We loved this place!! The host was great at communicating and quick to answer questions. In addition, they shared local things to do. The house was just as pictured and described, was clean, and had plenty of room. There is also a park across the street if you have young children. We would definitely stay again.

My parents, husband and I with our two kids, plus my sister and her husband all stayed and it was perfect! The host was easy to reach with questions and so helpful. She even gave lists of things to do in the area. Highly recommend!

The house is nice and clean. Jan was great. The house plans are kinda weird. The 3rd bedroom is in a shed. To get to the shed, you have to go to a bedroom where someone sleeps, go in to one of the bathrooms, and exit the house from the bathroom across some stones in the backyard…. The bedroom that you have to walk through also has 2 bathrooms in it….
But it was nice, and luckily the person we had staying in the shed and in the bedroom were comfortable with one another

Jan was such an amazing host. We loved the property! The kids played in the "clubhouse" in the backyard. We would return just for this place for them to go and play! Jan provided toys and was so accommodating in helping us come up with things to do in the area. We had a great trip!

Nice House
Our group enjoyed this home. It was nice for each couple to have there on bathroom and space. We are parents on vacation to watch our sons play baseball in Alaska! This home was appreciated during our stay in Anchorage.

Pristine Clean and Very Roomy
We had a wonderful stay at Jan’s house while in Anchorage! Her house is pristine clean and very roomy with four bedrooms, very comfortable beds and 31/2 bathrooms. Our group of seven had more than ample room. Every amenity we needed was there (except laundry soap, so bring your own).Jan was a gracious host and communication was excellent! She helped us when our schedule was delayed and adjusted our dates.
FYI detached guest house doesn’t have its own bathroom but a short walk to the main house has a very lovely master size bathroom accessed from the outside. It was not a problem for our group as the guys stayed in the guest house. I highly recommend Jan’s house if you come to Anchorage and I look forward to staying again.

Fun place to stay
Fenced back yard. Kids and adults enjoyed playing cornhole, which was supplied by the host. Park across the street where all enjoyed walking, playing basketball and frisbee.

Best Host, Clean, and Spacious
The best part about this property is its owner, our host Jan Durrington. She responded promptly to all question-texts and provided a very clean and comfortable dining, visiting, and sleeping environment and experience. We appreciated the number of beds and bathrooms. All were used by our 10-person party. Our youngest guest was 18 months old, and the VRBO provided pack-n-play, highchair, and inside toys that kept her safe, comfortable, warm, and happy. The 4- and 6-year-old girls loved the trikes and bike as well as the indoor toys. The adults enjoyed the outdoor dining space, table, and multiple chairs. We also enjoyed the yard games, like corn hole, balls, and frisbees. We were in Anchorage for our son's wedding plus some private excursions. This place provided just the space we needed: comfortable beds; clean bathrooms complete with hand soap, body wash, shampoo, and creme rinse; essential light-blocking window dressings; kitchen with coffee pot (and coffee!), stove, oven, microwave, sink, dishwasher, all necessary utensils, some spices, and more. We couldn't have asked for a better VRBO experience. Thank you, Jan!

My 2 brothers and I stayed in the house for 3 days with our father as a pit stop before going to Kenai for a fishing charter. The house was perfect for us - very clean- plenty of bathrooms - fully stocked kitchen. We used the grill - nice setup on the porch for that. Jan, the owner, could not have been nicer.The house is adjacent to a park - very little traffic and quiet.

We came to Alaska to see our son return from deployment and attend his wedding. We had a lot of family come on this trip. With Covid we were unsure of how everything would work out. Jan was amazing! Very helpful, accommodating and so friendly. The house was perfect for us! The park across the street and the nice backyard provided enough space for the teenagers to play and the adults to hang out for BBQ’s. She even brought over sports equipment for us to use. The house itself was roomy, very clean and came with all the necessities to cook with. Jan gave us great tips on things to see and do while we were there. We plan to come back for another visit and will definitely stay here again! This was the best place to stay in Anchorage. Thank you Jan for everything! You helped make our trip and events memorable 😊

More than expected
We truly enjoyed our stay at this park view location. The place is quite deceiving at first look. Once inside the space is goes on and on. Everything you need is easily found and the owner was very gracious with any needs and her time. The neighborhood is great for walks with very little traffic in the area. I will definitely share with friends to look forward coming back.

Great house
We absolutely loved this place!! There were 6 adults and loved each bedroom had their own bathroom and we had queen and king size comfortable beds. We were there when they were having their heatwave so it was great having a ceiling fan in each bedroom. The house was well equipped. Only thing we couldn’t find or wasn’t there were dish towels for drying dishes. Found towel in closet that worked. Other than that the place was great! Jan responded to my emails with questions in a very timely manner. We would definitely come back to this place if we ever visit Anchorage again. Thanks for sharing your house with us!!

The house is nicely maintained and was clean upon checkin. Basic cookware and dishes were available in the kitchen making it easy to make simple meals and snacks. Helpful information was included about the house, area, and points of interest. And a worry since we were coming during the solstice was that there would be too much light to sleep, but there were great blackout curtains in all the bedrooms.We had three couples and a solo friend staying together and the four bedrooms worked out great for us. Luckily the solo was close friends with one of the couples since to access her room in the separate building out back required her to walk through their bedroom and the exit was actually through the full bath that lead to the backyard. It was a bit odd of a layout, but it worked for us.Everyone in the group commented on how nicely setup the house was. The sitting room was ample and the TV and wifi worked great. Nobody mentioned any issues with having enough hot water even though all seven of us showered in the mornings.Overall a really nice place to stay and convenient to the freeway, shopping, and Costco.

Travel Agent Booking
I am a travel agent and I booked this for 4 couples for 2 night in Anchorage after a 7 night cruise. They loved the house and the location. They enjoyed the house so much they stayed at the house the whole time before they left for Denali and Fairbanks.

Anchorage rental
The home has been updated. It is comfortable, functional, and clean. Had plenty of beds and bathrooms. Body wash, shampoo and conditioner were well stocked. In fact everything was well stocked. Plenty of fluffy towels. We enjoyed walking the park across the street. It was a busy park, but was never loud or bothersome. Enjoyed the home.
