On the whole the accommodations were good and management was quick to respond to a tripped circuit. There were a few things that would be an improvement. Specifically, in a three bath/four bedroom home more than one hairdryer would have been appreciated. Additionally, bathmaths outside the showers and bathtubs are essential to assure safety. Finally, while there appeared to be a few leftover condiment such as salt and pepper the provision of a few basic spices and cooking oils would have been a welcomed addition along with a salt shaker to accompany the pepper shaker.

We traveled from Minnesota to attend our son's wedding. We brought family and friends and everyone had their own space. Sitting around the firepit and enjoying the beautiful view of the river was a favorite activity. The beds were very comfortable. It is a great place for a big family to get together and relax.

We enjoyed this lovely home immensely. There were eight adults (3 generations) and we spent a good deal of time in the home. The house was well appointed, beds were comfortable, the house was clean. There was plenty of space for everyone. We ate half of our meals at “home” which made for a relaxing, inexpensive visit. We all departed saying we hope to return next year. Thank you for sharing your home.

The house is beautiful. It's a very close drive to Mendenhall Glacier and only about a 10 minute drive to Juneau. We loved being so close to the airport. We would stay here again.

Our family came to Juneau to visit our son, and found this house to be perfect. It's modern, comfortable and well kept, in a beautiful neighborhood (with the Mendenhall River right out the back door).

This was a stay to celebrate my 70th birthday and my husband and our 50th wedding anniversary. We stayed 4 nights with our adult children and our grandchildren. The location is wonderful, right on a huge river with a beautiful setting and close to everything. There were several games there that we played at night and the home was neat and clean. We fell in love with our Juneau part of our vacation and know a big part of it was having this wonderful home as our home base.

Four families together grandchildren ages 6-17, house very well suited to accommodate all of us. Jerry also provided an inflatable mattress and floor pads to accommodate teens sleeping . We enjoyed the back deck , watching the River levels rise and fall with the tides, saw seal swimming. Really liked the location close to groceries, coffee kiosk, with easy driving distance 9 mikes to downtown and 2.5 miles to Auke Bay for our charter fishing and whale watch tours. Close drive to a lovely lake for fishing and walks, to beaches for tidal pool exploration and picnic (Auk Valley), Lena Beach for camp fire and sunset, Amalga Harbor for bear watching, Echo cove , and the hatchery. Enjoyed fishing from shores. The dining room was great for card and board games as was the living room. Plenty of room in kitchen for meal prep for 15. The owner Jerry answered questions and helped with problems when needed. I would recommend this house and owner for great vacation family gathering.

Internet ran out of service by 3rd day which meant no TV outside looked nothing like pictures very weedy and overgrown and not enough trash cans. Everything else was as stated. You might want to mention no A/C

I love staying in this property. The rooms are spacious and clean. The kitchen is well stocked. My only issue with this property has nothing to do with the property, but with the noise level. Helicopters are flying all day on top of the house (but this is only due to the beautiful location, close to the glacier). The outside sitting area is very comfortable, with a beautiful setting in front of the river.
