Mr Mark

The 1 star review was unwarranted. Was not even in the neighborhood the rental was in. Neighborhood is safe clean, great location. Kids riding bikes around, playing basketball etc. never once felt threatened or worried about my rental car or house broken into etc. 5 star for me. Police patrol the neighborhood on a regular basis. Highly recommend this place. Parking off street also. Within walking distance of restaurants.

Fantastic stay in Anchorage Aug 25-29 2023

We arrived with no issues by google maps and directions listed in our welcome email. We found our marked parking area off the main street. The entire property is fully fenced with multiple simple to use and well maintained gates dividing the other 3 rentals on the property. We had no issues moving our things into the home. Our three older dogs were grateful for the well kept lawn that they could play in while we got settled in. Inside everything was very clean and organized, simple open areas without clutter. We appreciated having a full kitchen and laundry room as well. Bedroom and bathroom was very clean and well maintained. We had work in town and it was only a quick drive from this property to the office and places to get food. We highly recommend staying here especially if you have dogs that love to travel with you like we do. We had no issues with the area during our stay there is some foot traffic as expected throughout the day and a bus stop close by but nothing really within walking distance for shopping or food. We plan to be back in Anchorage this winter and will be using this property again for our stay. Thank you Michele for the hospitality and enjoyable stay!

We were so happy with this property. It was in a quiet neighborhood, right in the middle of Anchorage. We were never far from anything we needed and was a great home base for seeing south central Alaska. We would definitely come back!

Great Find

Michele is awesome. We were lucky to have to found her listing on VRBO. Property is well maintained, cozy with personal tocuhes and has all the necessary amenities and more. She is very responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable in the house. The location is ideal closer to downtown and airport. Beautiful garden and a big yard for relaxing and kids to play. We also had a chance to meet her during our stay. She is very friendly, kind and awesome person. Wish her the best and will look forward to staying in one of her properties in future. Thanks !

Wonderful Home & Gardens

Perfect place for a stay in Anchorage. We did a four night stay and found this to be a cute little home with fabulous flower gardens. Inside was super spacious, with comfortable bed, a sweet great room to stretch out and super clean. The kitchen had everything you could think of to cook like you do at home. The flower gardens were a bonus and staying in mid-July allowed us to see so much color and variety. This property is centrally located. The cab ride from the Alaska Railroad Deport was only $10! Lots of shopping close by and many sights and activities were minutes away. Host Michele was quick to respond to our questions and has added many nice touches here. It is perfect for for two!

About the host

Hosted by Michele Palatas

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, I moved to Alaska in 1998 to work in Deadhorse-Prudhoe Bay, in the Arctic on the Beaufort Sea. I quickly became enchanted with this beautiful place we call Alaska! If you love the outdoors, this is the place!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this duplex in 2002 along with two more, and made four of the units, fully furnished guesthouses. You may rent 1217 Guesthouse and the Cottage (912285) and the Cabin (3584196) if you require more room. Since then I have had the pleasure of welcoming guests from all over the world to our city nestled between Cook Inlet and the Chugach Mountains.

What makes this property unique

The convenience of being near to downtown and midtown, the Seward Highway heading south and the Glenn Highway heading north, make this a perfect location to get out and experience Anchorage and nearby attractions. Built in 1951 to accommodate personnel at the first airstrip, Merrill Field, the guesthouse has been completely renovated in the past couple years.
