About this property

A City View Rental, Downtown-Gov't Hill

Defining the Alaskan experience, A City View Rental is situated on Government Hill, Anchorage's most historic and charming neighborhood. The neighborhood overlooks downtown proper one mile away. The suite is a very bright and cheerful daylight basement. It is a quick 10 minute walk to downtown proper and all of the activities and shopping the downtown area has to offer.

Several parks in the neighborhood offer views of downtown, Mt. McKinley, Mt. Susitna, Cook Inlet, Knik Arm and the Port of Anchorage. A five minute walk will get you to world class salmon fishing at Ship Creek during fishing season.

Also a short ten minute walk is the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail where you can ski, bike or walk and enjoy the coastal beauty to your heart's content. The Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, The Egan and Dena'ina Convention Centers, and The Anchorage Museum of History and Art are just minutes away.

The Iditarod starts less than a mile from the house. You can enjoy the winter festivities and be home in no time when you're ready for some hot cocoa and a movie! Or, in the Summer, enjoy a cold beer or glass of wine in the backyard around the fire pit after a hard day of fishing, shopping or sightseeing. We purchased the house in 1991 and are the 2nd owners. It has been continually and lovingly updated and improved since we bought it. The most recent additions were a brand new kitchen in the rental (2013) and a whole house generator (2015) so as not to be inconvenienced should we have a power outage.

Beautifully decorated, it was put together with a little bit of romance and a lot of comfort in mind. The 1326 square foot suite welcomes you with a bright and cheerful entry. Ample extras are intended to make your stay very special and memorable. We will stock the unit with groceries prior to your arrival at your request and for an additional fee.
It is intended to be a true home away from home, where you can enjoy a private experience in a perfect location on a beautiful property. Your hosts are immediately available should you need anything to make your stay more enjoyable.

We truly look forward to welcoming you as you plan your journey to Alaska. We are grateful that you are interested in staying at our vacation rental.

Moved to Alaska
I was moving to Anchorage and found Laura through VRBO. The place was great (really spacious and clean) and Laura has been an invaluable resource! The location is central, you can walk downtown to restaurants, the Weekend Market (summer), great bars, coastal trail access. It's reasonably priced for a cab if you need to travel further into the city, or an easy drive into town. I would absolutely recommend staying here, great space anyone!

First time in Alaska
Fantastic place. Just what we needed for our stay in Anchorage with our family of 5 adults. Laura made us feel so welcome, with homemade banana bread and wonderful breakfast foods. In addition, she added so many other nice touches to make us feel very comfortable. We loved visiting with both her and her sweet dog, Luka, but felt the freedom to come and go. We loved being able prepare our dinner after buying our seafood at the local market. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Anchorage. So much better than staying in a hotel.

Great place to stay while in Anchorage!!
Very clean, large rooms and furnished just like you would your home! It is a fully equipped two bedroom apartment. The proprietor, Laura, was a great hostess! Would definitely stay there again!

The Perfect Intro to Anchorage!
Exactly as described. Comfortable, clean, quiet and quaint. Thanks for a cozy and relaxed intro to anchorage. With downtown only 8 mins. away, situated in a quiet residential neighborhood we felt right at home and smiled every time we passed the swollen, cold, congested hotels of downtown.

Wonderful Stay!
This rental is so great!!! It is clean nicely decorated. The extras that Laura puts into it makes it even more special. I was so grateful when we arrived to see that breakfast was already provided for us.we got in late and was so happy that I wouldn't have to wake up early to run out for something to feed my little girl. We seriously has a hard time leaving doing our errands because the home is so comfy. I will for sure be visiting again.
