Unwind on the spacious 'tiki' deck or BBQ under a covered area on the expansive rear deck, surrounded by woods and views of Mt. McGinnis. ## Reviews 10 Exceptional ### Entire home 4 bedrooms3 bathroomsSleeps 8 ## Popular amenities - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Outdoor space - Parking available - Barbecue grill ## Add dates for prices Check-in Check-out Travellers ## About this property ### Entire place You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party. ### Beautiful valley retreat only 2.6 miles from the glacier and close to airport! Please note: There are 2 listings for this property. We like to provide flexibility for our guests. THIS listing, and price, is for our home as a 3-bedroom 2.5 bath (3/2.5), with an additional double bed in a loft space. We wanted to add flexibility to our traveling guests to fit their needs and budgets as best as possible. So 4 beds total (a king, queen, and 2 double beds). The other listing is for the home as a 2-bedroom 1.5 bath (2/1.5), with the additional double bed in a loft room. So 3 beds total (a queen and 2 double beds) for a reduced nightly rate. There is a maximum of 6 guests for the house in this format. In either format, booking guests will not be sharing the house with anyone and will have the house to themselves. We also offer a car rental to our guests for only $30 per night. It's a 2007 VW Jetta that seats 5\. A good little car and much cheaper than renting locally, if you don't mind an older car. Please contact me for more info if interested. If you need 2 cars, we do have another available. Apologies for any confusion. Contact for more info. WELCOME TO OUR HOME!! Located just 4.4 miles from the airport and 2.8 miles from the Mendenhall Glacier, this is our private residence that we had built in 1998\. We love our home and want to share it with others while we're traveling ourselves. Our hope is that you feel at home while visiting the wonderful town of Juneau. If you're coming to Juneau, you already know, or have heard, about the beauty, history, and adventures it holds. From our home, the Mendenhall Glacier is just 2.8 miles away. Auke Bay (fishing, whale watching tours, Hidden Peak Brewery, etc) is just 2.6 miles away. Downtown Juneau and Douglas, with all their shops and attractions, are just 13 miles away. Want a little peace and serenity, besides our front yard? Visit the Shrine of Saint Therese, which is only 13 miles away. If you want to walk a wonderful trail along the Mendenhall River, it's just 1/4 mile away. If you stay at our home, you're centrally located for all that Juneau has to offer. About our home. It's situated on a large lot with a "tiki" deck in the front where you can sit back and relax while enjoying an early morning coffee, or a late evening drink while watching the stars. Well, not really, as it'll most likely be too light to see the stars. However, fall and winter stargazing is amazing if it's not raining. Don't be surprised if you're visited by a bear, deer, or porcupine during your stay. We usually see quite a few each summer as the house is surrounded by woods. Off the family room, you can enjoy a large deck (16' x 40') with a BBQ under a covered area. That way, you can BBQ rain or shine. There is a hot tub at the end of the deck. Unfortunately, it is not functional and needs to be replaced. It will not be replaced this year. We have a large open yard that is surrounded by trees and views of Mt. McGinnis. Mt. McGinnis borders the left side of the Mendenhall Glacier. You'll have access to everything in the 2200 sq/ft house except the garage and storage pantry. Upstairs, you'll find: \- 3 bedrooms - the main bedroom with a king bed and ensuite; one bedroom with a queen Tempur-Pedic bed; and a 3rd bedroom with a double-size bed. Each room has a TV and a closet. \- A "loft" area with an additional double-size bed, treadmill, and TV. \- Full bathroom with tub/shower combo, sink, and toilet. \- Washer and dryer. Downstairs, you'll find: \- A great room with a kitchen, family area, and dining area. \- A beautiful granite countertop kitchen and pretty much everything you need to cook at home if you prefer. Oven, stove, microwave, fridge, freezer, Keurig coffee/tea maker, pots, pans, utensils, plates, etc. \- There is an island and a separate bar area for seating up to 8 in the kitchen area. \- A TV/family room with a TV and 2 couches, so you can sit back and relax on one side of the kitchen. \- A dining area with seating for up to 8. \- A half bath. \- Open entry front room with two couches. Plenty of room for an air mattress if extra sleeping space is needed. \- Entry closet with a variety of games to play during your stay. If you choose to stay at our home, we think you'll come to love it as much as we do! Please reach out if you have any questions. If you need a car during your stay, as previously shared, we have one available for our guests for an additional fee. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport -
