Awesome stay in Anchorage

Loved the Bootleggers Hideaway!! The unit was very comfortable, well furnished, and had everything we needed. It was just a short walk up the hill to Anchorage and all its great brewpubs and restaurants. The owner was very responsive to all of our queries, and we really enjoyed our stay. Would love to come back in a different season!

This was a quick stop before we headed to Seward for our cruise. This rental was perfectly located, close to everything we needed. Shops, restaurants, and e-bike rentals for our afternoon ride on the coastal trail (located across the street from the rental). We enjoyed all of the amenities provided and will definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area! Highly recommended!!

Perfect landing spot for our time in Anchorage. Great location. Lots of dining and shopping options within east walking distance. The waterfront trail was perfect for taking in the sunset.

Fantastic location

If you’re attending an event downtown Anchorage but want a view and be close to the jogging/biking path, this is it. It’s. 5 min walk to the convention center, a 1 minute walk to Snow City Cafe (best breakfast in Anchorage), 1-2 min walk to terrific dinner choices, bike rental 1 min away, jogging path, sunsets, the water and Mountain Views all out your window. Sunsets every night! Plus they have a swing facing the sunset over the water. We loved the cabin feel.

Cute and a steal for the price!

Very clean, very cozy little apartment with cabin vibes. Loved it. They didn't clear the driveway of snow (like 2-3 feet) for three full days, but when ee reached out to Cheska, she responded right away and got our driveway cleared! It's also a fabulous location within walking distance of a trail and tons of restaurants etc in the downtown area. Would recommend!
