Description of the Property
We are excited to be offering this authentic North woods bungalow as a new Anchorage vacation home rental property. For the tourist, Moosewood is just a short drive away from shopping, airports, downtown, and the Seward Highway. For the naturalist, Moosewood is located on a dead-end street on over an acre of private manicured lawns and old-growth birches and pine trees. Moosewood was built for the outdoor lover, and outdoor amenities include wrap-around decking with lounge furniture, BBQ grill, and hot tub.
You will love how easily this house flows to outdoor living. Just walk out the long, raspberry-lined driveway, and you will enter Anchorage's best kept secret, the Ruth Arcand Park. Over 300 acres of original forest and miles of multi-use trails are perfect for walking, jogging, biking, and horse-back riding. Be looking for moose, coyotes, bear, hawks, owls, eagles, rabbits, and horses. Ruth Arcand Park is home to the 5-acre Chamberlain Equestrian Center and the Anchorage Horse Council, and is the hub of equestrian activities all summer long. The Ruth Arcand Park will take several days to discover.
Less than a mile away by bicycle path or car are the Bicentennial and Campbell Creek Parks, which connect to the Chugach State Park and the wilderness beyond. Also multi-use parks, you will need the entire summer (or winter) to fully explore.
Moosewood house was among the first houses built in Anchorage, and used to sit on what is now the heart of downtown. It was relocated to this property in the early 1970's to make room for the high rises that exist today. The wood-beamed ceiling, cabinetry, and hand-pegged wood floors in the vaulted kitchen and dining room are original to the structure.
Moosewood is a well-crafted 1400 sf bungalow designed for easy and comfortable living. Its rooms are not large, but are adequately sized and comfortably appointed. Rest, relaxation, and recreation are our goals at Moosewood. Each bed features a Nova foam therapeutic mattress. If you have never slept on this type of bed before, be prepared for the best sleep of your life.
In addition to the three-bedroom two-bath house which sleeps up to eight, there is a semi-detatched one-bedroom one-bath apartment with kitchenette and living room also available for rent. The apartment sleeps up to four, with a king-bed and double sofabed. Please inquire for rates on this unit.
Amenities include wireless internet access and TV with DVD and premium cable. To ensure that your stay is an enjoyable one, a light breakfast of your choice is provided on the first day of your stay at Moosewood, and a complimentary bottle of champagne welcoming you to "The Greatland" is chilled awaiting your arrival.
As always, we are delighted to assist our guests with planning an Alaska vacation. Moosewood Vacation Rentals are the finest, most private homes of character available in Anchorage today. Thank you for your interest, and may you have an unforgettable Alaskan vacation!
