The host was gracious, friendly, helpful, and communicated great with us! The house was the perfect setup and location for our mission team. The bedrooms were all nice sized, the living areas were spacious with lots of comfortable furniture. The kitchen's were large and well stocked with everything we needed just like home. There was more than enough dishes and we prepared and ate almost all of our meals during the week at the VRBO. We could not have been more pleased and if we return back to Juneau next year we certainly hope we can stay there again!

We had plenty of space and everything we needed. Beautiful home!

We needed a large home for our large family and this home filled our needs perfectly. Our hostess was very kind and helpful in spite of having suffered a family loss. The view from the second floor back balcony is impressive. The home is just 5 minutes from the Mendenhal glacier and we took advantage of this. We had an epic trip to Juneau and this house was a big part of it for us.

The place was just as it was advertised. Eight roomy bedrooms with all amenities. The owner Rena greeted us with a big smile and personally gave our group a tour of the house. We enjoyed staying at this home very much.

This was our 4th year staying in this home. It is perfect for our athletes and coaching staff! Located close to the competition facility, as well as shopping, restaurants, etc. The Hosts are wonderful, accessible, and conscientious. We love it here!

We had the best time visiting Juneau. Rena's property on Aspen Avenue was amazing and had everything we needed and more. The owner was fabulous and very friendly. We had one issue that. we needed to contact her about and it was taken care of the same day.
If our future travels take us. back to Juneau this will be a. must stay place. again.

Excellent House for Large Groups!
We have stayed in a few houses in the Juneau area each year, but this home is the one that best accommodates our youth sports team! 7 large bedrooms, 4 large bathrooms, 2 full-size kitchens! The home is well-supplied with everything we need with plenty of space for our group, which is why we have stayed here for the past several years. The furnishings are up-to-date and comfortable, the beds have wonderful mattresses (which is noteworthy!). The house is spotlessly clean, inviting and "homey."
The owners are very easy to work with. Because we are so involved with youth across the state, we appreciate that a portion of the lodging fees go to a children's charity.

Great base for the family on our Alaskan Adventure
Being a family of 11 (6 adults and 5 boys) it is not easy to find somewhere that will accommodate everyone but this home did. The 2 stories with basically 4 suites ( 3 suites are double bedrooms with a bathroom between that worked amazingly for our families! Our hosts lived across the street and were always available if ever needed... but the house with 2 kitchens/living rooms {one on each floor} allowed space for everyone to have their private time or together time anytime we needed. Juneau does not disappoint with so many adventures available and we truly felt we were able to come home each day and relax. Thank you!

Perfect property for a large group. We had nine and had more than enough room. Both floors have a full kitchen. Property manager was wonderful & even made sure the kids had Easter treats. The location to everything you need and want to do is perfect to the home's location. Proceeds from your stay also help to benefit children in the Philippines. A must stay when you are in Juneau.

After taking all precautionary measures our family of 19 gathered safely from the lower 48 and locally for a most wonderful time. The accommodations made all the difference in being able to share life long memories and our hosts made the arrangements flawless. We arrived to a decorated house that made it our home away from home.

Excellent for large group or family
This property was excellent for our family. Everyone had their own section of house with two bedrooms and a bath. Did not even need the second kitchen. Owners are amazing people!

Great space!
We had 7 families (13 adults & 7 kids) staying at this house for a week and never felt like we were living on top of each other. Additionally, we hosted a dinner for 2 high school basketball teams with upwards of 40 people in the house at the same time and still didn’t feel crowded. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and we had everything we needed to cook meals during our stay. Rena was very attentive and checked in with us throughout the week. My only suggestion is for the owners to intall a keyless entry. With our group size and different schedules, it was difficult to coordinate who should hold the house key. We will definitely stay here again if the need for Juneau travel with a large group is necessary.

We rented this spacious seven bedroom home to share with extended family while we were in Juneau for our daughter's wedding. With two well-equipped full kitchens (one on each floor), it had the perfect set-up for cooking and serving meals for 25. The open floor plan with ample seating allowed everyone to gather, eat, play games, and converse together in the same inviting space. It was wonderful to have four full bathrooms for our large group, especially on the day of the wedding. The homeowners, the Sims family, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, including supplying new hairdryers, keeping the driveway clear of snow, and allowing us extra time to check out when we were in a schedule crunch trying to get people to the airport. There were plenty of extra linens, towels, and blankets at the ready, and the whole space was clean and organized when we arrived. We could not be happier with our experience at this home in Mendenhaven. Truly, this was a great home in a convenient location with caring and responsive homeowners. If you are planning a large family gathering, you would enjoy staying in this inviting home.
