Home Away From Home

All the comforts of home. This duplex/apartment on lower level located close to downtown Anchorage and JBER Elmendorf Air Force and Forte Richardson bases. Beautiful fully appointed two bedroom, den and 1 bath. Bedrooms have queen size bed in master, guest bedroom has full size bed and the den has a full size futon with a television. Private entrance with carport, gate to walkway with fenced backyard for the pooch. Fully equipped kitchen, laundry with full sized stackable washer/dryer. 10 minute drive or to the universities, hospitals, bike, hiking trails (there’s several Alaska hiking books I provide) and cross country ski trails. 15 minute drive from the Anchorage International Airport and coastal trails. Near restaurants, shopping, museum, Alaska Native Heritage Center, performing arts, movie theaters, corporate offices, downtown Anchorage and public transportation. A 25 minute drive along beautiful cook inlet, wetlands, world class down hill skiing and glaciers. An easy drive south to the Kenai river with world class salmon fishing (check fishing regulations) or north to Denali. To learn about sighting things and places to go, I suggest you purchase a copy of the (Alaska Mile Post Magazine). It points out interest mile by mile in great detail. Also the free Alaska App for an iPhone device is downloadable from app store.

Exploring Anchorage
We dropped our son off at the University. Location was close to the University and was a great base for exploring the city and surrounding areas. The kitchen had everything we needed. Communication was quick and the host was helpful. Looking forward to returning.

Clean and spacious with great location.
We were impressed with how clean everything was maintained and how spacious the rooms were. The location was ideal as it gave us easy access to many of the nearby attractions. Denice, our host, made are experience easy in terms of checking in and out. She was very receptive to our needs and was always available.

Our trip to anchorage was an unplanned trip due to an emergency surgery. When we arrived the unit was clean, quite, well equipped with everything we needed to be comfortable. We will definitely visit here again. Great hosts and great place to stay!
