Overall we enjoyed our stay but it is a very bumpy road with lots of pot holes to get to it. The website pictures are accurate. There is no stove. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was well stocked. You are in the lower unit with the owners upstairs. It was loud in the mornings and evenings having them upstairs. Beautiful views from the lower unit but there is a picture of the view from the upper deck on the website description. There was a lot of frozen food in the freezer which limited space.

Overall this is a nice place to stay. The photo of this cabin is a little deceiving. It makes you think, that you are renting a cabin, but actually you are staying in an apartment underneath the cabin. The stairs getting to the apartment are quite steep, so if you have a lot of heavy luggage, this becomes a problem. Also, it is not as isolated as it looks in the photo. You are surrounded by other cabins from all directions. All this considered, it is a nice and clean place to rent.

The place was nice and comfortable. Downhill walk on grass was challenging when wet. Sometimes there was too much noise from the owners living above, including at 11:30 at night when it sounded like a running wash machine and dryer right above our bed. The road leading to this place is not the best.

The view is amazing and the house was nice and warm. Communication with the host was wonderful and they were quick to respond to any questions we had. The only downside was you could hear them above you but thankfully it didn't keep us awake. All and all it was a wonderful trip and they were great hosts. We didn't get to see any Moose as I write this but I'm hoping that we'll see some on the way out.

Great spot to stay in Anchorage
This is the downstairs apartment of the owner's home and is well stocked and lovely to stay. We felt at home and there is a really great view of the mountains from the porch/living room windows. If you are staying in the Anchorage/Girdwood area, this is the place to stay.

The host was very nice and fast at responding to questions. Overall it was clean. We were disappointed in the following: The living area was cluttered- there was personal items in all closets, bathroom and freezer. The listing stated there was an oven and stove top and there was neither. They had construction going on which is fine but we did not find about it until the day we were checking in so we could not change our plans without eating the cost since it was past the time we could get a refund if we canceled so we sucked it up and made the best of the noise. We also did not know the road was not in good condition to get there. It would also have been nice to know ahead of time. I just had surgery and this made travel very inconvenient and painful to get to and from the house.

Nice Location with a Good View
In the foothills overlooking Anchorage. Liked the location. Downstairs apartment with quite a few stairs so not good for anyone with problems walking or toting heavy suitcases. Some upstairs noise. Living room and kitchen quite small but we made do as we were gone most of the time. More suited to a couple than three though and not really set up for cooking meals. Two nice size bedrooms. Full size bathroom but could use some updating. Lovely porch with view of city. Nice quiet neighborhood.

Beautiful views but not peaceful
The views were spectacular and the location was great, but noise from upstairs was disrupting and we had to carefully watch where we stepped because the dogs had not been cleaned up after. However, when we couldn’t find a wine bottle opener our host was able to procure one quickly.

Nice place.
Was everything we needed. We stayed 2 nights. It was close enough to stores yet far enough away. We had great views and 2 bull moose on our drive to the cabin.
Perfect for what we wanted!
