This was the perfect spot for our family to stay for a few days before we left for our fishing trip. Lots of room for the family. The views out the living room windows were amazing! We would definitely stay again!
Had a fantastic time, the house was well maintained and had everything we needed. The view was amazing, i loved waking up to seeing the river every morning. Would definitely love to stay again!
We had a great time at the Juneau River house! Even though the river flooding at an unheard of level we had a wonderful time. The river stayed out of the house so all was great!
This home was perfect for my family gathering. We loved everything about the house, location, amenities, and the little perks of staying here like coffee, fully stocked kitchen! The fire pit overlooking the river was the chefs kiss! We would definitely stay here again. Host was extremely responsive and welcoming.
I would recommend this beautiful VRBO. Our family enjoyed the beautiful view from the house!!! We had 6 adults, a 15, 13, and 11 year olds. There were plenty of comfortable beds for us all. Enough bathrooms! It was perfect! Thank you so much Lara and Don(?)...
What a great location for the River House. Hiking along the river across the bridge. Hike down a bit and you can see Mendenhall Glacier. We followed trails all the way down to the nature center, saw a frisky black bear in the yard and made a bunch of meals for the family. Our daughter and her sweetheart got married during our stay and Juneau did not disappoint!
We really enjoyed our stay. The view was amazing, just as the property title says. The house was very spacious and comfortable. The location was excellent for our activities in Juneau and Auke Bay. Conveniently located on main road but never noticed traffic or noise. The soothing sound of the river was what we remembered. Walkable to a great trail system. Bedrooms were on the first floor and living area was on the second (for the best views), so you do have to climb steps. Extra half bath upstairs was useful. Easy reservation and check-in with very accommodating host. Our whole group agreed that we would love to stay here again!
Our group of friends recently had a fantastic getaway in Juneau, and this house was perfect for our stay. The location was incredibly convenient—renting cars allowed us to easily explore all the attractions we wanted to visit. We particularly enjoyed drinking our coffee by the river, watching the rafting tours go by, and spotting eagles in the trees. The view was amazing! We loved hanging around the fire pit and using the grill to prepare dinner. The house is surrounded by several trails and places to explore, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Inside, the home was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals. WiFi was great for those that had to do some business and our host was easily accessible and accomodating. Just a heads-up: there isn't a hot tub unless we missed it, but there is a jetted tub in the primary bathroom. Overall, a wonderful place to stay, I highly recommend it if you are visiting Juneau.
The view alone is worth staying at Juneau River House. The mountains overlooking the Mendenhall River looked different every day depending on the sunlight and clouds, but always breathtaking. The river itself such a calming presence; a natural white noise machine. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay: comfy beds, plenty of blankets, lots of lounging space in the living room, many tv apps for down time, full modern kitchen for ease of use. We found gold pans in the closet and were able to walk down a little path and pan for gold. If you go across the bridge, there’s a trail that takes you down the river, but it was cut off from other trails by the recent floods. If you’re a rock picker, the beach across the river is FULL of them. We had a lovely time and didn’t want to leave.
We have stayed here before, and love it the second time just as we did the first time! The hosts are over the top accommodating, the place is super homey and just as advertised, We would recommend it to anyone that is interested - it is in the perfect location and is super peaceful - you won't be disappointed!
This home was everything we needed it to be! Plenty of room for our family to spread out - a kitchen that was well-stocked and everything in working order - enough bathrooms for all and just the perfect location to access all parts of Juneau!
We were so happy to stay in this beautiful house right on the Mendenhall River! The huge loving room windows made us feel cozy and also part of the scenery. The kids didn't want to leave!
This is a beautiful magical property right on the Mendenhall River. Plenty of bedrooms for our large family, huge upstairs gathering area/kitchen. Owner was very responsive and had a lot of items to use. Really was ideal for our family and we loved it all!
Beautiful place for our family to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. This house was perfect!
Lara was the best hostess that answered all our questions and helped us the entire week we spent here. We loved that the river was so close and got inspired to do an extra fun excursion of floating it. Everything you need is in this house!!!
Perfect for our family with small kids! The views and access to the river are amazing. It’s very centrally located as well. The children loved the rafters each day and the well stocked books, games, and play space. The house was well stocked and had ample space for storage of food and luggage. Host was very responsive and took great care with the amenities. Coffee pot and an additional Keurig were perfect for our family breakfasts of decaf and full-caf drinkers. This is our 3rd trip to Juneau and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else!
The house has wonderful views and made a great home base for our multi-generational family trip to Juneau for a week. There is plenty of room for everyone to have their own space while the large dining room table, outdoor fire pit and living room overlooking the river encourage gathering together. A wonderful place to explore and connect with family and friends.
