This beautiful modern home is situated in a valley, so there are gorgeous mountain views out every window. It is located 10 miles north of Anchorage, so you get to enjoy small town Alaska with access to the “big city”. We have moose and sometimes bear that walk our property. Lots of hiking, world class fishing, skiing and more nearly right out your doorstep.
The space
3 floors with all bedrooms on top floor (2 queen beds and one twin bed in the 3 bedrooms) living room and kitchen on main floor and TV room and exercise area in daylight basement. There is an office with a queen size futon in basement area as well and we have a twin size blowup mattress. There is an enclosed/fenced backyard with a garden and greenhouse. There are toys appropriate for older kids in 8-12 year old range.
Alaska custom is to take off shoes on entry to the house, so we ask that rule is respected. We also expect our items to be respected as this is a lived in home. Finally, we expect the house to be left in the condition you found it.
Guest access
The house is 3 stories with about 10 stairs to enter main living area.
Notes
A car may be available for use. There are 2 cats that would require being taken care of, but they are easy with no medical issues and can be left alone up to 3-4 nights if you want to explore another area.

We are an active Alaskan family that loves to travel. We traveled the lower 48 in the US in an RV from June 2022 to May 2023 trying to see as many National Parks as possible. On the journey, we picked up cruising as a way to see different places. In November 2023, we took a month to travel around Europe. In Alaska, we enjoy camping, hiking, downhill skiing and more
