About this property

Mountain views from brand new property in quiet neighborhood!!!

Our home is a brand new construction built in 2018 in a quiet neighborhood on the outskirts of town. Although, we are not located in town, we are just minutes away by car or bike! Access to beautiful trails, for hiking and cross country skiing, that lead to Shoup Bay and Mineral Creek. Our home is about a mile from the shoreline but nestled closely to the mountainside.

The three bedrooms and two and half bathrooms are fully stocked with linens, bedding, toiletries and laundry care. In addition to three queen sized beds, we have two pull out couches for extra sleeping accommodations in the living room and den. We also have cots for extra sleeping arrangements if necessary. In the garage we have a weight machine if you do not want to miss a workout away from home, plus a basketball game for the kids to enjoy! All brand new furniture for our new home, as well as playpen and high chair for the littles tagging along!

Owner lives in the neighborhood and will be available if needed, however, will let you have a comfortable stay in privacy.

This home is great for families, business travelers, groups, and even couples.

Valdez is known for its outside beauty, but we also have many parks (one small one in the neighborhood), grocery store, museums, rock wall, pool, shops, restaurants, as well as so many tourist activities (fishing, kayaking, glacier viewing, snow machining, heli-skiing, 4 wheeler riding) for everyone!

Beautiful home perfectly trucked away but close to town

We stayed 3 nights, 4 days in this gorgeous home. The property was on a quite dead end street where we enjoyed the quiet and seclusion but were just minutes from all the amazing things Valdez has to offer. Home was very clean and fully stocked kitchen for sharing family meals. Getting to harbor, grocery stores, parks, water all just minutes away. If we come back to the area we would definitely stay here again. Host was wonderful with communication and left great suggestions and even a couple free coffee gift certificates to her favorite local coffee shop… nice added touch!

Comfortable base camp for exploring Valdez

Our group of six was very comfortable in this house. Plenty of space to spread out and a well-appointed kitchen for home cooking. We walked Mineral Creek to the ocean and watched fish spawning and even spied a black bear and her cub up high in a tree. What a magical place!

Comfortable home, great view.

We are from Florida and enjoyed our stay in Valdez very much. Beds are comfortable. View of the waterfalls cascading down the mountains from the windows is like a dream. Home is very close to amazing trails where we saw salmon coming up the river. I would just recommend getting more glasses. We had our niece who lives in Valdez being her own glasses when we had them over for dinner. Would recommend this place for sure.

Loved Valdez and our rental

We did 1500mi of driving on our road trip of Alaska seeing Homer, Seward, Valdez & Denali. This was our favorite place we stayed and Valdez was our favorite destination. We had one minor issue with the property and the owner sent someone by to help address it very quickly. Our oldest child says his favorite part of visiting Valdez was the basketball game in the garage.

Beautiful House, Near Town Center

Valdez is one of our favorite destinations in Alaska - the drive from Anchorage is, in itself, a sight-seeing trip (especially on a clear day). Lodging options are fairly limited if you're looking for more than a basic hotel room. As independent travelers, we prefer a cabin/house where we have room to spread out, make most of our own meals, and have "game nights". Sonya's house is big, new, and well-stocked, only a few minutes' drive from the harbor and town center. We will be returning!

We were very pleased with the property! The layout and amenities were what we needed and Sonya was helpful and communicative.

Valdez Elopement

We stayed at this amazing property for 3 nights during our visit to Valdez for our wedding. It was perfect! Super clean and spacious. The views are spectacular. There was a bald Eagle hanging out in the back yard trees. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was great. We were sad to leave!! Would definitely recommend this home for your stay.

About the host

Hosted by Sonya Ash-Selanoff

Host profile image
We are a father daughter business. Our family enjoys traveling and staying in home rentals versus a hotel room. We know how much more comfortable staying in a home is so in 2017 we hatched a plan to build a beautiful home and rent it out to those who want to explore a beautiful town in Alaska. We also wanted to have something that my parents could stay when they visit my little family in Valdez. It surely felt like the most appropriate thing to do!

Marlon (my dad) is a retired chemist who enjoys living the Alaskan life. Fishing, boating, camping, and everything in between. He and my mom live in a small rural community.

I (daughter) am a small business owner taking break from teaching and administration. Along with my children and husband, I also LOVE the Alaskan adventures. I will be managing this property.

We are both lifelong Alaskans!
