Beautiful home, not happy with booking platform
The property was perfect for our party. Unfortunately, I received a separate and additional $161 “fee” from VRBO when I booked through Vacasa. I understand finding cleaning crews are not easy; on top of all the fees, we were charged a reasonable $240 cleaning fee, but having to haul trash to the Hightower Pub dumpster was off-putting.

3 generation family vacation
Perfect house for our 3 generation family vacation with just the right amount of space. The location was beautiful and centrally located for all we wanted to do. We lucked out with an aurora display in the early morning for our last day in Alaska!

Exceeded Expectations
Our entire family was impressed with this property. It is a beautiful property in a fantastic location with plenty of room. The home and apartment are exceptionally clean and well maintained. It was very convenient to have both the house and the apartment to rent so our family. We also enjoyed having the upper floor where the young adults could hang out. Definitely recommend!

Even better than we expected.
We chose a particularly poor-weather week to visit Alaska, but this home was our safe, warm, wonderful shelter from the cold and rain. It is a beautifully and thoughtfully constructed haven, and we are grateful to have found it. All other things being equal, this is our best choice of vacation homes ever.

Cool house
Part of the fun of vacation rentals is seeing a unique home and this home delivered on that and it wasn't "quirky" and awkward. It was a classy place with interesting architecture and finishes that made it fun for our kids to explore. And I found the architecture and finishes to be evocative and classic. But I do have one major negative: I tried to rent only the house, and not the apartment, but even though the listing for just the house said it was available, at the very end of reservation process it said the unit wasn't available. I tried from multiple computers and waited a day and reviewed the calendar of availability very carefully because it seemed definitely like a glitch. The other listing, which was the only one I was able to successfully reserve, said it included an apartment, but there were no pictures or description of this apartment. The apartment was much more space than we needed and we never used it. They just need to fix the listings. A minor complaint is that Vacasa was very slow to respond to a message that I sent about my wife forgetting her slippers. I sent a follow up message the next day, before I got a response, saying that she found them and nevermind. Several days later I got a form message explaining how much it costs to get items mailed. Ridiculous. One last piece of feedback is that I really wish there was a hot tub on that top deck. That would have been the ultimate. But I understand the hassles of owning a hot tub. I love them but I don't personally own one because they are a maintenance nightmare. I don't want to end with negatives because overall it was a great experience. Just wish we could have stayed longer. We vacation sometimes with another family and this will be the perfect fit for that with the apartment. We would just have to draw straws to see which parents get the studio apartment. :) I want to send my compliments to the owners for a beautiful and interesting home.

Great space for a large group
The location is just a few minute drive to the resort and lifts. The open format of the main living area gave seven of us more than enough room to spread out our gear, cook meals and relax without feeling cramped. The upstairs loft has beautiful views of the surrounding area, and I'm sure the deck is lovely when not covered in four feet of snow.

Beautiful place in the trees and some views
We were a group of nine and we really enjoyed this beautiful home. The apartment had it's own kitchen and gas stove. The main house had beautiful windows and interesting features about the house. The kitchen is big and equipped well. For three days we cooked all meals in there. The deck upstairs were great to hang out. I am so happy to have found this place and may book again in the future.

Home is awesome
Stayed at this home over 4th of July week. The home was stunning as was the setting. The only real complaint was that there was no cable TV and the apartment has many windows, but no drapes. This was a problem during the 23 hours of summer sunlight. However, I will say that Vacasa and the owners worked with me to overcome this problem. They took my complaint seriously and handled it very professionally. I hope blinds will be added to the apartment because I'd love to stay there again.

Relaxing!!
We had such a great time at this property! My husband and I stayed in the "in-law" suite and it was so nice to have our own space, as well as be a part of the group in the bigger house. My friend's wedding weekend was a total success in part due to the accommodations provided. I would definitely recommend this property through Alyeska Accommodations!
