Artist Retreat, ranch home just minutes from downtown Anchorage.

Welcome to our relaxing ranch home in Eagle River, just a short drive from downtown Anchorage. Works of art created by Alaskan artists are displayed throughout the home for your enjoyment, and can be purchased if you choose.

A spacious living room offers free wireless internet, HGTV with streaming device, a large variety of DVD's and videos, and a bookshelf full of Alaska themed reading material. There is a full size upright piano and sheet music for your enjoyment. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'll need to make something delicious. There's a double oven electric range, coffee/tea bar with Keurig, and table that seats 6. The master bedroom has a plush queen mattress with adjustable bed, ample storage, and a HGTV and DVD player. A fully re-modeled master bath with tub and shower sits privately off the master. The second bedroom has a twin loft bed and a regular twin bed with a small television and DVD player. The third bedroom has a memory foam queen mattress and ample storage. The main hallway bathroom has a large vanity with updated shower and tub. The garage on site is unavailable for use, however, a large driveway provides ample parking for 2 full-size vehicles. The neighborhood is quiet with friendly neighbors.

Eagle River offers easy access to multiple hikes, lakes, and rivers as well as the Nature Center. A short 5-minute drive up Skyline provides views of Sleeping Lady and the Eagle River skyline, as well as amazing views of the Northern Lights when visible in winter.

Eagle River is centrally located, making adventure in either direction a sure thing. Take a 15-minute drive to Anchorage where the Fur Rondy is held every February or catch the train to someplace you've never been. Go south to Girdwood and visit Alyeska, or the Wildlife Conservation Center, or further south to Seward, Kenai, or Homer to enjoy the ocean. Take a 30-minute drive North to Wasilla or Palmer where the Alaska State Fair is held, or further to Talkeetna, Denali and Fairbanks.

Wherever your adventure in Alaska takes you, you'll be sure to enjoy a relaxing return home at our Artist Retreat on Bridger Pl.

Alaska Formal
My daughter's wedding brought us to Anchorage. My son and his 2 children stayed with my husband and I. I wanted a house with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, 1 level. The house was PERFECT. Better than the pictures. We lacked nothing.

Very good stay
This is the best place we stayed during our Alaska trip! The House is comfy, neat and full of supplies. I also like the art works in the house. It is actually better than the pictures seen from Vrbo, which is rare. I will stay here again if I come back.

Exactly as listed
Fully stocked supply pantry: Kleenex, napkins, toilet paper, soaps, shampoos. Very Clean. Great instructions in a three-ring binder along with local restaurants and menus. Very functional and organized kitchen which was great for breakfast and lunch. Also provided coffees and teas. Easy drive into Anchorage. Eagle River was a cute community. Just what I expected for a Vrbo!

Loved our stay!
We enjoyed our stay at Artist’s Retreat very much! Stayed for a couple of night before driving to Whittier to board our cruise ship. Cozy decor with so many thoughtful touches throughout the home. Kim has thought of everything! There was something that spoke to each of us that stayed, and we were a group of two 70+ year olds, two 40-something’s and an 18 year old. From the books and movie selections, the basket of throws and the coffee/tea bar. We had everything we needed during our stay! 15 minute drive from the airport but it is a beautiful drive and Eagle River has anything you might need. Only suggestions I would have would be to put screens on the windows so the fresh air can come in and blackout curtains. We are not used to daylight at midnight! We would definitely recommend this rental!!

A cozy place to relax and unwind
The Artist's retreat was a delightful place. It felt like we had stepped into the comfort of grandma's house. The beds were comfortable and the home was clean. The kitchen had plenty of accessories for us to cook meals. We enjoyedbthe collection of books, the pianobwith tons of sheet music and the nostalgia of the VHS player and tapes. The hosts were extremely responsive and provided everything we asked for and assisted immediately when i had trouble accessing the property at check in.
