Itâs a nice little suite.
Nice little property to stay at. The only complaint was being able to hear loud foot steps from above in the night. Would also recommend getting curtains for the main door for added privacy as it looks out to the owners hot tub.

What a super place. The view of mts and area from our door was fabulous. Very nice hosts place was clean.
Thank you Kate Pat n Lynn
Extreme noise from upstairs: could hear and distinguish talking, crying baby, loud footsteps. Not so much a problem for my party but if you are looking for peace and quiet and serenity this is not an appropriate spot for that. Otherwise itâs very clean, comfortable, and safe.
The view was spectacular! Loved the dogs! đž đ

Million dollar view!
This home was so welcoming and comfortable with amazing gardens and a jaw dropping view. The decor reflects the ownerâs Christian values and was beautifully done. Many thoughtful and personal touches made this one of favorite stays overall.
My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. The residence was large and comfortable, and the owner went out of their way to ensure everything was convenient for us. Itâs easy to get from there to stores and/or diners, and the owner was kind enough to provide a list of nearby sightseeing spots, diners, etc. This place also has a wide, exceptional view. I would greatly recommend.

Beautiful welcome to Wasilla!
What an incredible host Deb is!
An overnight arrival and she communicated with me beforehand so I understood how to arrive as easily as possible and it was.
The welcoming treats upon arrival and personalized door greeting made us feel very welcomed.
We drove to Denali first thing in the morning and the snacks were right on the spot. We knew we made the right decision in staying in Wasilla.
The home was very beautiful and the views of mountains were so peaceful.
While I didnât get to meet Deb due to our busy schedule, she checked in on us to make sure we were good and it was appreciated.
No stove, but a grill and microwave/small fridge.
Recommend for anyone traveling to Wasilla or need an in between from Anchorage (50 mins) and Denali (just over 3 hours).
Thank you for opening your home and look forward to returning.

Off the chain!
What a delightful gem. Makes me want to look for an excuse to stay again. Thoughtful, kind, accommodating make up the start of the list of qualities.
No way came up short in any respect, but added extra goodies that enhance the stay.
As Bob Barker said, âCome on down!â

Great place to stay with amazing host!
Great communication, very friendly host and very clean property! We stayed here for our first two nights in Alaska. Travel is somewhat stressful for me, so when the communication, finding the location and arriving to a welcoming and clean place went seamlessly, I was beyond appreciative! I definitely recommend!

Exceeded expectations
This property was our first few nights in Alaska and it was fastastic! The views were incredible and of course the pictures don't do it justice. It is breathtaking. And this is the view out the door every morning and out the bedroom window! It was a very quiet neighborhood, out of the mainstream. The room and living area were very large and the kitchen well stocked for coffee, etc. The morning muffins were amazing. I would stay here again and longer in a heartbeat. Loved it!!
This is one of the most beautiful and amazing places Iâve ever visited. It has a peace of mind and heart that I have never felt. Please go visit. Host are amazing, very friendly people. Very private if youâre looking for something special. I really wish I could have found out about the DVDâs that were available in the rooms. I didnât get the opportunity to watch during my stay but the 3 disk set is there for you. I hope anyone that visits will feel the same
