A PERFECT LOCATION
With keyless entry, your arrival is a breeze, day or night. It's nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac near a lower hillside, this home has a fully fenced back yard featuring a small deck, table and chairs, spruce and birch trees, and a few raspberry bushes. It is a zero-lot-line home, styled as a duplex, and the neighbors, who have called this place home for 20+ years, are extremely quiet. Although the walls are mostly soundproof, we ask that if you and your guests are not the quiet and respectable types, reconsider this home or agree to be respectful and considerate during your stay.
**Explore Nearby Trails**
This home is ideally situated in Anchorage. You can access local trailheads within minutes, such as Abbott Loop Community Park Trailhead and the beautiful 4000-acre preserved area. These well-maintained trails offer delightful opportunities for walking, biking, or cross-country skiing, and you might even catch a glimpse of local wildlife. It's a slice of wilderness that feels worlds away from Anchorage.
**Convenience!**
This home sits just 2-3 minutes from local shopping hubs including Fred Meyer, the Dimond Mall, Carrs/Safeway, along with a variety of restaurants, the Alaska Zoo, the Anchorage Golf Course, Hilltop Ski Area, and horseback riding.

4.0 / 10.0
Small 1/2 of a duplex with only 1.5 bathrooms. The bed in the master bedroom was way too soft and unsupportive. A metal rod from the rickety bed frame fell off and hit me in the head! My wife ended up sleeping on the couch. We left after one night.
4.0 / 10.0
Pros: good location, clean and nicely decorated.
Cons: while it does sleep 6, I did not realize how small the house was and that it only had one shower (my bad). It was very tight for my family of 5. Could not open the front door all the way because there is a boot tray in the small foyer. The worst part for us was a VERY soft mattress in the master bedroom. I pulled back the sheets and there was a thick piece of foam on top of the mattress? My wife ended up sleeping on the couch (I’ll be hearing about this for a while) and my back was sore for several days from trying to sleep one night on that bed. The bed frame was also falling apart - when I laid on the bed a metal bar fell off and hit me on the head! We were supposed to stay two nights but left after one night and stayed at a hotel.

The house was immaculate and had all the necessary touches to make your stay memorable! I also appreciated the scent free products due to asthma and allergies.

I enjoyed a wonderful stay at this property. I was visiting Anchorage to watch my son in an athletic competition. We had two adults in our party and the home was perfect for us (but certainly could have accommodated more people). The home was perfectly clean and organized. It had everything we needed and more. The neighborhood was quiet and ideally located for our activities. I would not hesitate to rent this home again. Lynette was wonderful to work with. An ideal host!

This property is a great place to stay. I cannot say enough about it. My traveling campions and I were very comfortable in this beautiful townhouse. It was super clean. Owner was very obliging and the instructions for everything were well conveyed. It was conveniently located for us. Neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We will stay here again when we come back to Alaska. : )

Perfect house for our family of five. Tons to do within driving distance from the home and Lynette was super helpful. Would absolutely stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0
We really appreciate the privilege of staying in Lynette's lovely townhouse. It was exceptionally clean, well-stocked and comfortably roomy for the three of us. Location is good, with quick access to major routes, a plus if interested in day trips to the mountains or towns like Seward and Whittier. Lynette is an excellent host and quick to answer questions. The little touches in the home - snacks, coffee, laundry soap - were very much appreciated. Her welcome book is thorough and an excellent resource. Can tell Lynette cares about her guests. Thanks Lynette!

A lovely spot to stay. Very clean and well organized. So much wildlife in the area, including Moose in the backyard.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved our stay here. We had all that we needed and it truly fit our needs. Thank you Lynette. Every item, every detail was thought through. We would stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0
Clean & well decorated. Tons of vehicles in the cul-de-sac location, which makes it look less than wonderful, but we had no issues with noise or anything odd; never felt remotely concerned.
Saw a moose right by the road a stone's throw away from the house (and her calf back in the woods behind her).
Just used this house as a base for exploring the area and everything we wanted to see ended up being south of Anchorage, so the south-side location was great (not that Anchorage is a huge city). We only had 3 folks total, so the one shower wasn't a problem.
Happy with the house!

This clean, beautiful, well appointed duplex in a quiet cul-de-sac was perfect for us all. It’s centrally located - 15 minutes from the airport, 15 minutes to the mountains, 5 minutes to the store. The high chair, pack-n-play and stroller were perfect for the 1 yr old. Great hostess too, with easy check in and out.

Lynette was truly like a friend of the family and made it feel like home away from home. I have business in Alaska and travel there multiple times a year and will definitely check availability with this home for future stays. Immaculate!

Wonderful stay. Close to shopping and easy access. Even had a high chair, snacks and books for when my grand baby came to visit. Beautifully decorated and had everything you would need.
10.0 / 10.0
From beginning to end, this home is an ideal location. It is in a nice community. The lock is secure, and we never felt unsafe. Immaculately clean, and I don’t say this lightly. Well supplied with items that I hadn’t brought along, like a hair dryer & sewing kit. The owner’s guidance was very helpful for activity planning. Behind the back fence, a moose meandered by one day! 100% enthusiastic review! Thank you Lynette for a wonderful stay!
10.0 / 10.0
Very nice place in a quiet neighborhood. Lynette was quick to respond and keeps the property in great shape. Thanks again!

We traveled from Southeast Alaska to compete in state for gymnastics! This stay was perfect. House was clean, quiet and fit us all well! Would recommend this house. Definitely staying there again!
10.0 / 10.0
This was a wonderful place to stay for our family on our trip to Anchorage during the winter. It was 15 minutes away from downtown Anchorage with a direct drive on the Seward Highway. Many restaurants were available within five minutes of the house and it was so quiet in the small cul-de-sac that it’s located in. The beds were soft and comfortable end the house had all the amenities you could ever need. The hosts were amazing and were attentive to any needs.
This is a duplex rental and I was concerned that my children might be too loud or we might hear the neighbors. The soundproofing between the two buildings is amazing and we never knew that they were there. We will definitely be staying here again when we are in the area.
10.0 / 10.0
This place is so comfortable! The beds were amazing and we all slept great. We can’t wait to stay again next time we visit Anchorage.
