Alaska adventure with grandchildren

House was wonderfully clean, decorated, stocked, and well communicated from owner. It was a perfect location for our adventures, both north to Denali, west to glacier dog sledding, south to river fishing. We would recommend this home to anyone wanting to see Alaska.

Quiet Alaskan Retreat

We booked this home for two weeks so we could enjoy family who live nearby, fishing, and a wedding! I will definitely book here again. The kitchen is very well stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, seasonings, and appliances one could ever need. We loved sitting by the window while eating breakfast and seeing all the little birds come to the feeder. It rained for most of our stay, but we still enjoyed sunny afternoons on the front deck. The beds were comfy. Cynthia, the owner, was super easy to communicate with and very helpful with local information. It was the perfect place for all five of us!

quiet and comfortable

This house was a cozy and quiet space. We enjoyed the many kitchen appliances and cookware. The bedrooms could use some mirrors and the bathroom off of the laundry room could use an outlet for a hair dryer but other than that, it was overall a nice experience!

Alaska sightseeing

Had a great stay at your property. Had plenty of room for everyone. Property was in a great location for our outings to sightsee SE Alaska without being stuck in a city. Cynthia was very helpful and easy to get in touch with. The "House book" was very helpful, with suggestions on local resturants and events. Lots of great art work and tastefully decorated. Thanks for a great stay. Arnold

Repeat Stay; Even Better than the 1st Time!

This great property keeps getting even better! Attention to detail, artistic, open, great flow, super clean, upscale, well equipped and then some, with lots of "new" - these hosts really outdo themselves with this peaceful, well-kept property that is completely dedicated to the guests experience. Hard to believe it could get better, but it did.

Nice and cozy

Beautiful property, very well maintained. Quiet neighborhood. Prime location with easy access to surrounding tourist attractions and local activities outside of Anchorage. The host, Cynthia, was very attentive and responsive during our entire stay. Not being used to the summer time in Alaska, I texted a question at 11:30pm, and she responded right away. Will definitely stay here again if in the area.

4 Generation Retreat

Cozy, artistic, newly remodeled, luxury cabin with amazing design features that have the vacation guest in mind. You really feel pampered and welcome here. It looks so bright, clean, warm and inviting in person. More so than you can envision in the online photos. The yard is large and well kept, with flowers and song birds. 2 decks for relaxing or enjoying meal time, a large master suit and sunken living room make this a great place to get away for a couple or a group of 7. We hope to come back every year!

Everything you need is in the house. Can't think of anything we needed that was not there.The house was clean and the master bedroom was very large with a King bed. The other two bedrooms were smaller but both had Queen beds in them.Great kitchen with dish washer and all the other items you would ever need. Washer/dryer worked well. Only problem we had was a sulfur smell in the water which was caused by an unusually dry spring and summer.

Labor day stay

My son and I traveled to the valley for features at Alaska Raceway Park. I happened upon this place and have been pleased ever since. The owners were very responsive and helpful. The home was very clean, accommodating, and welcoming. The birds were very active and enjoyable. We feel very fortunate to have been able to stay at this residence and would stay again.

Wonderful Place to Stay!

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Jacobson

We are Tony and Cynthia Jacobson, a lifelong Alaskan couple who raised three beautiful girls in this home. After they grew up and flew the coop we decided to continue the good life in remote Alaska. This gave us the chance to offer our Wasilla home, filled with our extensive Alaskan art, artifact and literature collections, as a vacation rental. Tony is a private pilot and we travel back and forth from our home near Skwentna, Alaska in our Cessna 180 with our silly beloved yellow lab Dog. We love the idea of sharing our love of everything Alaska with you!

Why they chose this property

Raven's Flight, nestled in the foothills of the Talkeetna Mountains, is just minutes from a wide variety of Alaskan activities. The Skeetawk Ski Resort and the Historical Hatcher Pass Independence Mines are only a few miles up the road. You won't need to go far to get up close and personal with nature, fishing, hiking, birdwatching, wildlife viewing, flight/sightseeing, foraging, rock hounding, mountain and rock climbing and glacier viewing opportunities abound! Outdoor enthusiasts will find white water rafting groups for hire and watercraft, snowmachine and ATV rentals. The opportunities for adventure are unlimited. Working while you vacation? We offer a dedicated work space with desk, office chair and printer in a quiet hallway away from the main living area.

What makes this property unique

We chose to live in the foothills of the Talkeetna Mountains because we wanted our kids to grow up close to nature and the outdoors, yet still close to their schools and the urban amenities. We feel that makes this a great location for a vacation rental as well, a place to relax between exploration and adventures, rural and urban; we also offer a dedicated work space if you need to work while you play!
