Susitna Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! It was a very clean rental, with all of the amenities that we need. I would definitely recommend staying at this property!"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Eagle River/Anchorage Area

10/10 Excellent

"Can’t complain given that this hotel is 50% cheaper than everything else. Room was fine and location is good."

Grand View Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly, food at the Grill was phenomenal! Looking forward to staying here again!"

Eagle River Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The space is thoughtfully laid out for a studio. The end unit made the room feel spacious. The bathroom was very nice. Overall there was plenty of space for long term stays. The only downside was there was no low-level lighting in the galley kitchen, which meant using the main bright overhead light. The frig could use having the door reversed to open for kitchen access, not living room."

Colony Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The unit we stayed in was beautiful! The decor was outstanding and the couch and bed were comfortable."

Stay Alaska - Modern Stays in the Wild

10/10 Excellent

"Owner was super friendly and made sure we were taken care of will be visiting again."

Alaska's Lake Lucille B&B

10/10 Excellent

"The lakeside property was beautiful. My only negative comment, and this will admittedly be different for every traveler, is that I found the bed to be way too firm for my taste."

Gateway Overlook

"We really enjoyed meeting the Owners. They were very personable, cheerful. The breakfast was great! We Loved the panoramic view of the River Valley and the Mountains!"
