Great location & accomdtns & excellent hostess!

Review submitted: June 30, 2009   Date of arrival: June 16, 2009

The location of this house rental was minutes from the full marathon start line...which was perfect! We enjoyed the accomodations thoroughly...fresh coffee, laundry facility and gracious hostess who helped us with figuring out how to use the DVD player! This is the ideal way to travel to Alaska since the prices can be extreme. It was very neat and clean when we arrived. We highly recommend it!

Made our vacation very comfortable

Duben Place was great for our vacation. It was just like walking into a family members home and staying for a while. Michele has a kitchen stocked with just about everything. The house was clean, quiet and spacious. The location is great. Many great places to eat within a short distance. But the best part was the bed. It was soft and comfortable. The sheets were soft and the cover was warm. We left Duben Place and travelled to Seward for a couple of nights. After one night, we wanted to come back to Duben Place. Staying in Duben Place made our vacation great. Thank you!!!

Best Vacation Rental I have ever stayed

Review submitted: July 13, 2012   Date of arrival: July 5, 2012

We stayed in Duben Place for 4 days first week of July. It was the best experience we had. We were a party with 6 adults and 2 kids (3 year olds). We checked in around 2am and everything was set right. The entire house is artistic. Any information we needed about Alaska, was right there at the hall (maps, books etc). Bed rooms had good quality linens, comforters, quilts. It was hard for us to decide one of them. The room had a 40"(i think) LCD TV with lots of CDs, DVDs. We had lots of novels to read. Just we didnt have the time for it. The Front and back yard was amazing. The garden at the backyard was extremely beautiful with lots of interesting flowers. It was a photographer's paradise. Kitchen was fully stocked with Rice cooker, mixer grinder, oil, pepper, salt, coffee powders and even some recipe books :). Her dogs were so friendly, our kids were playing with them most of the time.

Overall we had a very good vacation and we felt at home during the stay. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone.

Owners response: Thank you for your very kind words! It was my pleasure having you and your lovely and gracious family stay at the GuestHouse. As the summer progresses and the rains continue, the gardens get even more lush as more flowers bloom! Please visit us again! Michele.

A Wonderful Stay in Anchorage

Review submitted: October 11, 2011   Date of arrival: April 8, 2011

We had a lovely time at Duben Place, well-equipped and clean with a nice private yard, good convenient location. Felt like 'home away from home', perfect. Oh and very comfy beds. Michele, the owner hooked us up with some fun activities, she has great knowledge of fun things to do in Alaska. I would recommend it to anyone traveling to Alaska. Thank you Michele. Saw some moose, funny animals. My favorites, hiking Exit Glacier in Seward and the train to Denali. We will be back.

Owners response: Thank you for being our guest! It is always our pleasure to ensure your trip to Alaska and your stay at Duben Place is the best for the Big Wild Life!
Best regards, Michele.

Review submitted: May 17, 2011   Date of arrival: April 30, 2011

We really enjoyed our 12 night stay in Anchorage at Duben Place Guest House. Michele gave us excellent directions and the the guest house was exactly as pictured, clean as a whistle, in a quiet neighborhood with convenient parking and all the comforts of home. Michele provided extras - fresh flowers upon arrival, chocolates, and coffee - and information for area restaurants and activities that were very helpful. I would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Anchorage and searching for a home away from home!

Michele, We really enjoyed our stay here. The Guest House was everything & more that we could have asked for and became our home away from home. Really appreciated all the extra touches you provided - the coffee & teas, all the condiments.....loved the decor and all the artwork. We would definitely recommend Duben Place to anyone visiting Alaska which is a wonderful state.

Michele...Thank you for opening up your beautiful home for us to stay. It was a wonderful place to come back to after a full day of sightseeing and exploring Alaska. It has been more than we expected and had become a second home to us...Thank you again. We hope to make it out back here soon and will recommend this place to all of our friends and family.

A perfect trip! Your place provided just the respite we needed after spending time with our four grandchildren! We slept well, enjoyed all the home-like conveniences you provide, and loved the quiet moments to reflect on the beauty of your Alaska. What a wondrous place - and Duben Place made it that much better.

Your complex was well equiped and clean. My parents are from Arizona and they were inmpressed. We all like the fact that you are located one mile from the freeway. Thank so much for the hospitality.
When I have more guest and want to show them the Grand State of Alaska, I will use your home again.

Owners response: Thank you Penny, and it was a pleasure having you here! I am always working to improve your stay at the GuestHouse.
Best regards!

Michele - Thank you for opening your home up to us as we relocated from PA and got settled into Alaska! This home is thoughtfully stocked with the essentials and some luxuries! You had all we could want for our first few weeks, and your company was appreciated even more. I can't say enough good things here about your place!

We four Minnesotans enjoyed your accommodations immensely. Since we had a vehicle, the location worked well as a staging area-day trip to Palmer/Hatcher Pass; to Homer,(kind of longgg trip for one day),Girdwood...and various activities in Anchorage: 4th of July Parade, F Street Grill, to watch the King Salmon make their way up the river, the Ulu Factory.....Una and Boodles were very well behaved - and so cute.....

Thank you for the oasis of peace during our trip from Maine. The house is wonderful as are you and the dogs. We can't wait to come back with the kids to explore more of "real" Alaska!

Thank you so much for providing a home away from home for the birth of our beautiful Darcy Jo. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay "in town". This was really the perfect setup for us. Your home impressed my M-I-L and our midwife! We will definitely recommend it to any Bush parents-to-be! Being away from home for so long at such an important time was not easy, but you made it a lot nicer and we really appreciate it.

Michele, I've enjoyed my five weeks at Duben Place as I explored Alaska with my family. Thanks for everything-especially helpful advice on Alaska destinations and hiking. Wesley enjoyed the magazine and both Justin and Wesley loved picking raspberries. We would have liked more sun but managed with the rain.....

I am so glad your guest house was available. For a family of five it was a great space - far better than a hotel! The fresh flowers, plush towels and books are a great touch. Thank you!
