About this property

CONVENIENCE WITH A VIEW!

Centrally located in a friendly neighborhood mid-way between Downtown Juneau and the Mendenhall Valley, it is convenience with a view at an affordable price. A large deck, with great sun exposure, looks out over beautiful Gastineau Channel, Douglas Island and the majestic Chilkat Mountain Range. A home with 2 comfy queen beds, 2 two twin beds (trundle bed) and if needed a queen sized fold down couch. Its a perfect place to rest after a busy day out and about.
Some things very nearby:
Just down the hill is Project Playground. In addition to two small lakes, there are shelters, a playground, open field and walking path. It's a pleasant place for a morning jog, mid-day outing or evening stroll. For more vigorous activity, hike up to the Salmon Creek Reservior and enjoy the peaceful sounds of birds and flowing water, takes about 2 hours. DIPAC, the local salmon hatchery is just around the corner (1.9 miles). There you can learn about the life cycle of salmon and view other local sea life. Watch returning salmon go up the fish ladder and perhaps spot a seal offering motivation. Enjoy a fresh grilled salmon dinner at the Salmon Bake, an outdoor eating experience with live entertainment, located on the bank of Salmon Creek (1.4 mi). Costco (1.7 mi) and Fred Myer (4.3 mi) are nearby grocery stores. For a quick snack or meal-to-go, the Breeze-In Bakery and Deli is a good choice (1.4 mi ).

Best bang for the buck!

This was a great place to stay with teens. It fits the needs of a budget conscious family. No frills, but everything you need! We loved the neighborhood and valued getting out of the downtown area!

Loved this cozy home!

This home is in the perfect location—a quiet neighborhood but close to downtown, walking trails, a great park, and more! We loved the location, as we were able to get in and out to adventure around with no issues. There are three bedrooms and a comfy futon in the living room. The view is perfect for sitting on the deck in the mornings and evenings. We had a great time and would recommend it to others.

Like a home away from home

The main room was comfortable for the entire party. The bathrooms were well-stocked and clean. Kitchen had everything we needed with grocery stores a short drive away. While one mattress was a bit too firm, all guests slept well and had plenty of privacy and space. We would stay here again “in a hot minute”.

Functional, great location and view

Vanderbilt Hill is a great location - quiet neighborhood, lovely view from the deck chairs and mountain views in multiple directions. Kitchen was usefully stocked for cooking dinners. Easy parking for our rental car. It's a little dated, hard wood floors and beds a little creaky, but plenty clean and functional for our family (parents visiting their 2 adult kids working in Juneau who stayed with us during our visit). No issues.

Great Juneau Option

This place is out of town, so you'll want a car or to have some flex on taxis, but it's a great house. Clean, good kitchen, location near airport so easy access to town or up to the ferry etc...good grocery nearby, nice neighborhood, host is helpful and communicative. Would stay again.

Pleasant, comfortable stay

W enjoyed our stay in Juneau in this bright, cozy 2-story home. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and centrally located to everything that Juneau has to offer. It was nice having separate thermostats in each room, and also a large mud room upon entry.

Great rental for a long weekend

We had a great time just hanging. Around. I appreciated the kitchen being well stocked on the basics, coffee, cutlery, and other appliances. Better than I have had at most other vacation rentals, it made making what few meals we did make at the rental fairly easy

Outstanding vacation rental

The two story house is beautiful, well located in a quiet neighborhood close to the airport and ferry. Also close to many activities including glacier, hiking, whale watching tours, downtown and grocery stores. The house is perched on a hill with a beautiful view of a wetlands and mountains. Great laundry facilities, wifi, and TVs. There is a lovely deck with a grill and outdoor table.

Great Location

Really enjoyed our stay, the location was amazing. Great views and easy access to downtown, airport and anywhere else you want to go Make sure to bring a hand mirror as there are not any in the bedrooms. The only real complaint would be the couch. Very uncomfortable and definitely needs an ottoman, but other than that it was great

Excellent Jeneau Home

The location of this house is great. The house is very well kept up and in very good condition. There is easy access to the downtown area as well as the airport. The neighborhood is quiet as is the house. We all slept well in the very comfortable beds. The owner is quick to respond to any questions. I would stay here again without hesitation.

About the host

Hosted by Merigwen Kawakami

Host profile image
Merigwen was moved to Juneau from California by her parents at the age of 6. Upon seeing the then muddy streets of downtown, she was less than impressed and started to cry. Fifty+ years later, she is still here...raising her three children with her Japanese husband, Tom and thanking her parents for the beautiful place she calls home.

Why they chose this property

This area of Juneau receives great sunlight from morning to night. No matter where you want to go, you are nearly there. It's easy access to bike paths and the city bus line. Best of all, I love the view of the Chilkat mountains.
