Grandma's House - Large Home - DISCOUNT ON TOURS!

This large 5 bedroom home near the Mendenhall Glacier can accommodate groups up to 9 people. An air mattress can be provided to accommodate larger groups. This space is priced for five people to make it affordable and appealing for smaller groups. It's a nicely remodeled Tudor-style house, conveniently located in the Mendenhall Valley. You can relax in your spacious 5 bedroom home. This home boasts granite countertops, and large open spaces. The main floor has an open floor plan where you and your group can cook, mingle, dine, play games, etc. in it's living, dinging, family rooms and kitchen. The large tv room has doors that can be closed so noise from other group members can be contained. The bedrooms consist of a large King room with private bath, a large queen room, two double rooms, and a twin room. There are two full common bathrooms.

The property is two miles from the Mendenhall Glacier and is situated on the bike path. There are also trails leading to the glacier. The bus stop is steps away from the front door, and the house has plenty of parking. It's 6 miles from the Juneau Ferry Terminal, 2.5 miles from the airport (25 min bus ride), 2 miles from the famous Mendenhall Glacier, 4.5 miles from the University of Alaska, and 10.5 miles from Downtown Juneau.

It's self check-in so late arrival is not a problem. You'll be given the lock box code a few days prior to your arrival.

Check-in is at 4pm and check out is at 11am. We will offer you early check-in and late check-out options if it's available for a fee.

Host, Kelli, happens to be a co-owner of a large tour company with over 25 tours throughout Alaska, and offers 10% discount on all tours offered by the company to her vacation rental guests. Popular tours offered in Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, and Sitka include whale watching, salmon bakes, river rafting, kayaking, canoe tours, boat tours, hiking, gold panning, private cars, Mendenhall Glacier tours, and jeep tours. We also sell glacier helicopter tours that do not qualify for the discount. If you are interested ask is us for the details.

We will strive to provide the best customer service and improve as we go with feedback from our guests. We hope to earn your five-star review! Your expectations should be limited to what is promised here, and reviews should reflect how we did with these promises. Before submitting your review, please remember to base it on the following criteria and what was promised to be provided for the price paid as follows:

Easy check-in process – You'll be able to self-check in. Kelli will give you check-in details prior to arrival, including a lock box code. You'll be able to access the rental at your leisure after check-in time, at 4pm. We offer early check-in options, if it's available a couple days prior to your arrival for $25-$50, depending on your arrival time.

Great Communication – Kelli is known to be responsive to guests before, during, and after their stay. You can expect prompt responses to your questions. She'll respond to web site messages as soon as she can.

Clean Accommodations – Your private home should be sparkling clean.

Great Mendenhall Valley Location – It's steps from the city bus stop and two miles from the famous Mendenhall Glacier which you can get to by car, or walking on a paved bike path or gravel trail. You can take the bus for one mile and walk the second mile. This is not a downtown Juneau property. Downtown Juneau is substantially more expensive than the Mendenhall Valley, so this location for the price should not be compared to that of downtown. If you want to be downtown, and don't want to take a 45 minute bus ride to go 16 miles, then this space is not for you.

Accurate Description of the space - I try to make continuous improvements when guests make suggestions and do my best to keep the changes updated and published. If we missed something please let me know, so I can update the information. If you are missing something you were counting on, please let me know immediately, so we can try to provide it for your stay.

Great Value – Juneau is expensive, especially during peak season. The price fluctuates depending on the season. We have to charge more when the business is there, so that we can afford to have it vacant for long, slow periods. Our pricing as based on supply and demand in the area.

Class Reunion in JUNEau
Had a class reunion with friends from across the country for 1 week. Appreciate the large space, including 5 bedrooms to accommodate our party. Found there to be a lot of issues with the home however; broken toilet, kitchen chair, door handles, etc. Also did not have adequate amount of dishware for our large party to enjoy dinners together without staggering. This was communicated to owner who quickly dropped off appropriate amount of dishware/silverware, etc, we appreciated her promptness to improve the situation. Overall, it was a good spot to stay at for a large group.
