Anchorage Escape

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Escape to Alaska at this charming studio apartment. Inside, this comfortable rental is tastefully-furnished and very welcoming, while outside, there's a shared yard bordering a salmon stream. The back deck is great to sit out on and relax with your favorite book or drink, and you'll also have access to a gas grill for warm weather cookouts.

This studio is on a three-acre oasis within the campus of the University of Alaska. The centralized location is less than four miles from the Anchorage Museum, and about seven miles from the Alaska Zoo. The Alyeska Ski Area, a world-class downhill ski venue, is a little over 40 miles away. From here, one can also link to bike paths and cross-country ski trails that interconnect across all of Anchorage. Closer to home, when the salmon are running, you will get glimpses in the stream that borders your yard! And in case of emergencies, you will be within walking distance of the Providence Alaska Medical Center.

Quiet stay, dirty linens

This property was quiet and well-located for exploring Anchorage and surrounding area. Check-in was straightforward. The sheets had stains and crumbs or lint on them and the comforter was also stained. There were several store tags on provided towels, indicating they had not been washed after purchase.

Hidden Gem in Anchorage

This wonderful spacious place on a large lot with wooded backyard is comfortable and cosy. The place is stocked with books, has a very comfortable bed and nice seating. It offered everything we needed for our 8 day stay. The kitchenette is very small, but sufficient if you are not planning on cooking big meals. We would definitely stay there again!
