Coastal-View Apartment Near Downtown Anchorage!
Amazing place to stay! Right in the middle of downtown but it doesn’t feel that way. Peaceful and unobstructed view of the water. Quiet neighborhood as well. Great option!

Industrial Designed near Downtown Anchorage 800+sf
I was pretty sure I was going to enjoy this place based off location and the photos... It may actually be my favorite Airbnb to date, and I've stayed at a bunch. Sometimes stylish and artistic can look good, but not feel cozy or be useful. This place is functionally comfortable as well as being visually appealing. Sweet welcoming touches, and even bikes to borrow - I had brought my own bike up, but the option is there for others. Literally right on Ship Creek, I loved the sound of the babbling water, ducks and gulls. Also, being on Ship Creek means it's also right on the bike trail. I powered out a full Moose Loop right from the front door on Saturday morning. The bed is extra comfortable, as is the couch. Somehow the living room gets both morning, afternoon, and evening sunlight. I did yoga on the sun-dappled living room floor. It's not quite a full kitchen, but with the portable 2 burner stove top and ricecooker (and microwave, it's well set up to make a meal or two.

Stormy Hill Retreat
Loved staying here! Gorgeous views, easily accessible, quiet, and peaceful.

The Rock Manor Lakeside
Great peaceful place to stay. The swans must be used to being fed. They swam right over to us.

Top floor lakefront condo with Mountain Views!
Our stay was wonderful! This place has so much room. We had 2 grandchildren (age 5 & 10) with us and they loved it also. Only issue we had was a complaint from people whom lived below. We respected the quiet hours from 10-10 everyday. We did not know 1 of them worked 2nd shift, and got woke up by the kids couple mornings? They were playing tag out on deck one time. We told them we were sorry and would try to respect their wishes. From then on we worried about being quiet. This place is very close to grocery stores, gas, Walmart, Fred Meyer’s, and restaurants. Wonderful place to stay and very convenient. There is a park 2 lots down which we went to and kids played and fed ducks. There is also a Church (Creekside Church) about 5 miles away, very nice Church and made us feel welcomed. The kids loved the Children’s Church also. This place had everything we needed. The view was spectacular.

Loft near Downtown, Restaurants, Airport, & Trails

Park on Fifth Apt. #2
Diane & Jonathon’s apartment was a great place for us to start our Alaskan trip in Anchorage. The location is perfect and has everything you need. Great views of the water and park! Would stay here again.

Lakefront! Kayaks/Paddleboard, Fire pit, King bds!
Beautiful place and a great location.

Lake Lucille House
Had guys out there for a job from Michigan, they enjoyed every bit of the stay from house to location. Very easy communication. Will be staying again!

Lake Hood Home Front Retreat
Johanna’s place is absolutely beautiful. It’s in a nice quiet neighborhood. It’s far enough from town where you don’t feel rushed but close enough to be apart of the life in Anchorage. The amenities she lists are as described. She is the perfect host. She gives you privacy but is also very responsive. It is definitely a home away from home.

Tranquil Lake House in Willow | Lakefront Access
Allisons place was so beautiful! Everything was clean and we felt right at home. We loved sitting by the fire and listening to the loons. We were visiting our son who is in the Air Force and it was so nice to spend a few days with him in the peace and quiet. We used the canoe and kayak to go fishing and our son caught a pike. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful place!

Lake house on Nancy lake
Fantastic view of the frozen lake from the deck! We thought winter there would be boring and covered with white snow, but we were wrong. The iced lake reflected beautiful blue shade when sunrise and sunset. It is Amazing! We enjoyed our entire time staying at the property. From the windows of open spaces living room and dining room and from the deck, we can see open beautiful lake view. The house is big, beautiful, open spaces and by the beautiful lake. Feeling of welcome when we first stepped in. The house is very clean. We had everything that we needed there. Owner provided quality materials to use. Host Rebekah is very nice. She responded to our questions within a short period of time. A plus that I would giving for this house is the water came from the refrigerator tasted better than most other the water bottled. We appreciated water source in AK vs. CA I wish I could stay there longer. Definitely will come back.

Lakefront Home in Big Lake, AK
This beautiful house is only exceeded by the awesome lake and mountain view. 6 of us stayed here for a week and we're more than comfortable. The house has everything you need. Comfortable beds, plenty of linens, lots of pans, dishes, silverware and cooking utensils. There was plenty of staples too. I highly recommend renting this house you will not be disappointed.

Creekside Getaway: On the Creek in Anchorage
Amazing spot right by Campbell Creek. Peaceful and out of the way, but still close to all the town things.

Hot Tub, King beds and Stunning Lake Views
This was one of our favorite airbnb stays to date! This home was perfect for our family. Beautifully decorated and extremely family friendly. My children felt right at home . I loved the family friendly accommodations and the hand written welcome note. We would love to visit here again!

Waterfront View of Denali, Alaska Range and Ocean.
Had an amazing stay in Anchorage! The living room offered stunning views, and the bed was comfortable and spotless. The space was thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed, along with great amenities that made my stay even better. I felt safe and truly at ease throughout my time here—highly recommend!

A cozy condo on Mt Alyeska in Girdwood Alaska!
Pros: Kitchen with pots, pans, dishes to cook there. Queen Murphy Bed with Bedding Rubber mats for wet stuff Location - Walking Path on Arlberg Ave that gives access to anywhere in Girdwood. 2 min from Ted’s Express lift. Bathroom - good shower and plenty of towels Private Super Responsive host Roku to stream content Cons: Pillows - flat. Shoulder sleepers like me might need to use 2 Couch pull out bed - needs a new mattress. Seems like it has seen some abuse. View from deck is mostly obstructed by condo buildings. Take the tram up for best views. No body wash, soap, or shampoo provided Strange clicking noises when the heat is on. Disrupted my sleep the first night or two. Building Access - funky doorknob where you have to insert the key and twist before it allows you to push the key hole in and unlock the deadbolt. Cons are minor. 11/10 would stay again or recommend to a friend. Thanks Diana!

2BR home with mountain views, deck, BBQ
Surrounded by beautiful views from every room. The house was large and very clean, felt super comfortable. It was the wonderful getaway from the city that we were looking for! Not to mention it’s not far from most of the shops and restaurants in Girdwood. Overall a wonderful experience and we will be back again!

Lakefront Retreat
We’ve stayed here in mid-AK winter and now in spring. Love the deck and access to lawn and lake, great view and does not feel like we’re in the city, yet it is and location is perfect for easy access to local establishments. Place is super clean and one of the few places I’ve stayed that has everything a traveler could need.
