Un magnifique refuge isolé dans la vallée de Mendenhall, à seulement 2,8 miles du glacier

Please note: There are 2 listings for this house for our availability dates.

THIS listing, and price, is for the home as a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath (2/1.5), with an additional double bed in a loft room. So 3 beds total (a queen and 2 double/full size beds).

We also have another listing for our home as a 3-bedroom 2.5 bath (3/2.5) for a higher nightly rate. With this listing, we open the main bedroom with an ensuite. We wanted to add flexibility to our traveling guests to fit their needs and budgets as best as possible.

In either format, booking guests will not be sharing the house with anyone and you'll have the house to yourselves.

We also offer a car rental to our guests for only $40 per night. It's a 2007 VW Jetta that seats 5. Great little car and much cheaper that renting locally.

Apologies for any confusion. Contact for more info.

WELCOME TO OUR HOME!!

Located just 4.4 miles from the airport and 2.8 miles from the Mendenhall Glacier, this is our private residence that we had built in 1998. We love our home and want to share it with others while we're traveling ourselves. We hope that you feel at home while visiting the wonderful town of Juneau.

If you're coming to Juneau, you already know, or have heard, about the beauty, history, and adventures it holds. From our home, the Mendenhall Glacier is just 2.8 miles away. Auke Bay (fishing, whale watching tours, Hidden Peak Brewery, etc) is just 2.6 miles away. Downtown Juneau and Douglas, with all their shops and attractions, are just 13 miles away. Want a little peace and serenity, besides our front yard? Visit the Shrine of Saint Therese, which is only 13 miles away. If you want to walk a wonderful trail along the Mendenhall River, it's just 1/4 mile away. If you stay at our home, you're centrally located for all that Juneau has to offer.

About our home. It's situated on a large lot with a "tiki" deck in the front where you can sit back and relax while enjoying an early morning coffee, or a late evening drink while watching the stars. Well, not really, as it'll most likely be too light to see the stars. However, fall and winter stargazing is amazing if it's not raining.

Don't be surprised if you're visited by bear, deer or a porcupine during your stay. We usually see quite a few each summer as the house is surrounded by woods.

Off the family room you can enjoy a large deck (16' x 40') with a BBQ under a covered area. That way you can BBQ rain or shine. There is hot tub at the end of the deck, but unfortunately it is currently not functional. Hope to have it working, or replaced, by next summer. We have a large open yard that is surrounded by trees and views of Mt. McGinnis. Mt. McGinnis borders the left side of the Mendenhall Glacier.

You'll have access to everything in the 2200 sq/ft house except the garage, storage pantry and owners bedroom suite.

Upstairs, you'll find:
- Two bedrooms - one with a queen Tempur-Pedic bed and the other has a full-size bed. Each room has a TV and a closet.
- Full bathroom with tub/shower combo, sink, and toilet.
- A "loft" area with a full-size bed, treadmill, and TV.

Downstair,s you'll find:

- There is an island and a separate bar area for seating up to 8 in the kitchen area.
- A TV/family room with a TV and 2 couches, so you can sit back and relax on one side of the kitchen.
- A dining area with seating for up to 8.
