Get to know us! Read on:
--- THE HOUSE:
Our home is an upper/lower duplex built into the hillside with private entry points; one at street level and one around below.
The construction of the home was completed the year prior to the great earthquake of '64 and it rode through it like a champ. In fact, this house became the haven for neighbors who’s homes weren’t so lucky (so we were told). Now, while you rest easy with the knowledge of this house’s Earthquake sustainability please don’t judge its quirks too harshly. Where it falls short, it more than makes up for it in mid century modern charm and character.
If you appreciate details, you've come to the right place. When updating and styling we let the house do its own talking and then added some of our stories collected in pictures and art from travels afar. Our mini library offers some vintage Alaskana editions and our personal collection of Lonely Planet guidebooks is there to inspire future wanderings.
In the bedroom you have space to hang your clothes or fold them away in the dresser if you’re not the type who just flings open the duffel bag and calls it good. A brand new KING BED commands the room nicely. One thing we’ll always love about hotels is their luxurious white cotton sheets. So that’s what you’ll find here as well, in a thread count of 600 to be exact.
Something that is often overlooked in a hotel room: Great coffee! Our local roaster, Kaladi, is amazing and you get to be the judge of that yourself using the drip coffee maker or the pour over system. We have sugar and creamers and some tea options for your morning pleasure.
And the shower has you covered with big bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
The large open kitchen has everything you need to cook-in or plate and reheat your to-go meals.

Some important things for your consideration:
- Don't see your preferred dates available? Reach out! We are last minute travelers ourselves and can sometimes flex our availability.
- Are you a fellow Alaskan coming through the city on a supply run? We have lots of room to explode your shopping, pack, repack and shop again.
- We are a young family and we welcome yours. If you have a baby or toddler we can set you up with a lot of things… Also our huge yard is full of toys and play-sets and it’s fully fenced except for the driveway. Just give us a heads up if you are bringing littles.
- This space is well suited for up to two adults sharing the bedroom. Children can also be accommodated with floor mat style sleeping arrangements or a pack n play.
- We do not have a TV or Dishwasher. We do have great, high speed wifi.
- The bathroom is small (shower, no tub) but clean and bright and gets the job done.
- This is an upper/lower style duplex. You may hear foot traffic if we are home. We live upstairs, however, in the summer we are in the bush most of the time and in the winter we travel regularly. We are respectful of the quiet hours and please do let us know in advance of your arrival if you have specific concerns about noise.
- The fireplace can be used with long burning Duraflame style logs only. One log will be provided for your stay and you can purchase additional logs at local grocery stores.
- This unit does not have access to a washer and dryer, however, there are lots of options locally including a same day pick up and delivery service!
--- THE OUTSIDE:
Our property covers three city lots, an unusual amount of space for this part of town. The yard is expansive and in addition to ornamental and wild foliage, we have apple trees, raspberries and rhubarb plants which you are welcome to help yourself to in season. You won’t see the neighbors or the street as a hillside, trees, green belt and fencing all create incredible privacy. It really feels like out of city living while still being able to enjoy the benefits of having everything super close by. The Fish Creek Estuary runs right next to us and so does the Fish Creek Trail.
Guest access
Your front door entry point is private. You have full access to the huge yard. You may see us outside playing if we are home, but if we notice you sunbathing out there first, we'll leave you be. You also have a private driveway, carport and patio area. The Hot Tub deck is shared.
Other things to note
If you like small airplanes, excellent because you’re just blocks away from the largest seaplane base in the world! So... if you don’t like airplanes or the noise they make then this area of town is not for you. It’s only busy during the day and we love watching the planes fly overhead while we sip a beer in the sun. Extremely Alaskan past time right there.
