Spectacular views from a pristine home!
This home is absolutely gorgeous and had many extra touches that were so nice and above most host homes. We loved the spacious home with first floor bedroom. The master suite was beyond expectation, extra large and roomy, oversized tub and plenty of closet space and even make up desk.Kitchen was fully stocked and even had some basics and spices available for use. The deck...oh the deck! Such a beautiful space we all gravitated to for dinner and sitting around the fire table watching the sun sink below the mountain view. the bathrooms also had several items to make the stay easy and if we had forgotten anything it was there and available to us. After checkout the cleaning team found a stuffy animal that was accidentally left behind, the owner sent a photo and when we confirmed it was ours a very happy little girl got her stuffy toy returned in the mail with a cute little card too! Very nice owners. PROS: LOCATION (close to town but felt miles away), quiet neighborhood, view for sunset was breathtaking, fully stocked kitchen, very clean, comfortable beds, fireplace in living space, plenty of seating on deck and fire table, gas grill for cooking, top notch laundry room with detergents/softeners, plenty of bathrooms, games provided for entertainment of kids. CONS:only minor con was there was a "downstairs" tenant (walkout basement apartment) We tried to be conscious of walking quietly but with wood floors and kids it was tough. They never complained so I guess we did ok!

Excellent property. We chose it because we wanted to tour the Alaskan Native Cultural Center, Iditarod Headquarters, and Independence Mine State Park, all within relatively convenient trip distances. Everything you see on the property listing is as it is onsite. Host Cynthia was timely in responding to the few questions we had.

Gorgeous retreat near Anchorage Alaska!
This place far exceeded our expectations! I don’t think there could have been a more beautiful view! And the house itself was so beautiful and well supplied with more than we needed! We even had a digital screen with all our instructions and information that we needed! We would definitely return to this place, and will pass on the word to friends and family who might want to visit the Anchorage area.

Great views and comfortable home
We enjoyed our time in this home. It has great long-distance views of the mountains and water from the back porch. The property is very lush and landscaped well (when we stayed during summer). The lower level appears to be occupied and is not accessible from the upper portion of the home which we stayed in, but this did not negatively impact our stay in any way.

The house was absolutely wonderful. We couldn’t believe all of the toiletries in the bathrooms, the food bars and oatmeal in the kitchen and this is all on top of the beautiful house and the great views. Never got to sit on the deck as it was rainy/wet or we just got back too late but this was an A+ stay. Thank you Cynthia.

As promised!
My family's stay at this property was wonderful! The description of this property was completely accurate - clean, well-appointed, amazing views, close proximity to activities and wildlife sightings. I had lots of communication with the owner who was great to work with - very helpful, informative and kind. There's always a certain degree of risk when renting a property but this was a home run. I highly recommend and will be booking again in the furutre.

Family stay at Broadwater House
This lovely home in cute Eagle River had everything our family needed - spotlessly clean with spacious bedrooms and fully stocked bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen with all we could need to prepare meals, and a comfortable living room and outdoor space for relaxing and taking in gorgeous views of Cook Inlet and the mountains beyond. We even had some wildlife viewing! Cynthia was quickly responsive to all communication before and during our visit. The location provides a great base for all the day trips we took to enjoy beautiful Alaska. We would highly recommend this beautiful home, and hope to visit again.

Amazing place near Anchorage
The house was clean and in a great location. It had everything we needed and more. Cynthia has really provided everything in the house that a guest would need from energy bars to laundry detergent. It was central location so was ideal for us exploring Anchorage, Palmer, eagle river to Glacier view. Thank you Cynthia for making our first Alaska stop of our 2 week trip so memorable .

Great-no water pressure
The home was well stocked with great views. No blackout curtains which is hard for summer. The water pressure is soooo bad! There were a couple of times the water would shut off during your shower. You can’t flush the toilet or run any appliances if you are in the shower. Sometimes it was just a trickle of water out of the sink faucet. Very hard to wash my hair in the shower. I’d really think twice before staying there again just because of the water pressure. It was super frustrating. There is a unit in the basement so I’m not sure if that is some of the water pressure problems. Homeowner said it is a water filtration system that kicks on randomly. I don’t think that is it at all. We were very mindful of not running any appliances or even flushing the toilet when someone was in the shower. This problem really needs to be addressed.

Beautiful House/Amazing Location
This is one of the nicest places that I have stayed in my travels and was either recently updated or very well taken care of. The first level was spacious with a fully stocked (snacks as well) kitchen, large dining area, large living room with a gas fire place, and a large deck with great views of the mountains and water. You can also see the mountains and water from both living and dining rooms through large, wall size windows. The master suite on the second level is really big with a ton of natural lighting. King bed was super comfortable and there are sitting chairs/couch and a large walk in closet. The large master bathroom had a large jacuzzi tub and a shower. All of the bathrooms were stocked with toiletries, we pretty much only needed our own toothbrushes. The two smaller bedrooms were also nice with comfortable beds.

Amazing place with amazing views.
We can not say enough good things about this place. The views and the sunsets are amazing. The place is super comfortable and feels like home. The beds were very comfortable and nice to relax in after long days out enjoying Alaska. The host has snacks to take out on trail with you or just enjoy there, We definitely used them. There was coffee, cider and hot chocolate there too. We met Mike the last part of stay and was great to talk with. We would highly recommend this place to others and would rent again.

Comfort all the way around
We had a group of 6 staying, 2 couples and mother/daughter duo, and we stayed 9 days. The beds were so comfortable and ready for any kind of weather. There were ample pillows and blankets in all the rooms for sleeping as well as in the living room to use there or out on the deck. We spent a couple mornings and several later evenings sitting and enjoying the views as it did not get dark until way after we turned in. The kitchen was stocked with the basics so we just had to get our main food supplies at Wal-Mart that was just down the road. We did a lot of touring and it was nice to grab the cooler and ice-packs to stock up so we didn't have to eat out every meal. The washer and dryer were very large and we were able to do laundry mid week. We were able to sign in on the smart TV and watch our own streaming programs or basic direct TV in the owners suite and living room. Would have been nice to have smart tvs to stream in the other rooms too. The home was extremely clean and well cared for. We had an issue with water pressure and Cynthia had their maintenance person swing by after work to clean out filters and such and it was immediately better. She always answered very timely when we had a question. She was great to work with for booking as we were having issues with the credit card processing the booking and it took a couple tries. If I ever head to Alaska again I would definitely see if I could stay there or in the lower smaller level. We knew people were there at times but barely heard them.
