Perfect for our family with small kids! The views and access to the river are amazing. Itâs very centrally located as well. The children loved the rafters each day and the well stocked books, games, and play space. The house was well stocked and had ample space for storage of food and luggage. Host was very responsive and took great care with the amenities. Coffee pot and an additional Keurig were perfect for our family breakfasts of decaf and full-caf drinkers. This is our 3rd trip to Juneau and I canât imagine staying anywhere else!
We were so happy to stay in this beautiful house right on the Mendenhall River! The huge loving room windows made us feel cozy and also part of the scenery. The kids didn't want to leave!
This home was everything we needed it to be! Plenty of room for our family to spread out - a kitchen that was well-stocked and everything in working order - enough bathrooms for all and just the perfect location to access all parts of Juneau!
This is a beautiful magical property right on the Mendenhall River. Plenty of bedrooms for our large family, huge upstairs gathering area/kitchen. Owner was very responsive and had a lot of items to use. Really was ideal for our family and we loved it all!
We have stayed here before, and love it the second time just as we did the first time! The hosts are over the top accommodating, the place is super homey and just as advertised, We would recommend it to anyone that is interested - it is in the perfect location and is super peaceful - you won't be disappointed!
Our group of friends recently had a fantastic getaway in Juneau, and this house was perfect for our stay. The location was incredibly convenientârenting cars allowed us to easily explore all the attractions we wanted to visit. We particularly enjoyed drinking our coffee by the river, watching the rafting tours go by, and spotting eagles in the trees. The view was amazing! We loved hanging around the fire pit and using the grill to prepare dinner. The house is surrounded by several trails and places to explore, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Inside, the home was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals. WiFi was great for those that had to do some business and our host was easily accessible and accomodating. Just a heads-up: there isn't a hot tub unless we missed it, but there is a jetted tub in the primary bathroom. Overall, a wonderful place to stay, I highly recommend it if you are visiting Juneau.
This home was perfect for my family gathering. We loved everything about the house, location, amenities, and the little perks of staying here like coffee, fully stocked kitchen! The fire pit overlooking the river was the chefs kiss! We would definitely stay here again. Host was extremely responsive and welcoming.
This was the perfect spot for our family to stay for a few days before we left for our fishing trip. Lots of room for the family. The views out the living room windows were amazing! We would definitely stay again!
I would recommend this beautiful VRBO. Our family enjoyed the beautiful view from the house!!! We had 6 adults, a 15, 13, and 11 year olds. There were plenty of comfortable beds for us all. Enough bathrooms! It was perfect! Thank you so much Lara and Don(?)...
We really enjoyed our stay. The view was amazing, just as the property title says. The house was very spacious and comfortable. The location was excellent for our activities in Juneau and Auke Bay. Conveniently located on main road but never noticed traffic or noise. The soothing sound of the river was what we remembered. Walkable to a great trail system. Bedrooms were on the first floor and living area was on the second (for the best views), so you do have to climb steps. Extra half bath upstairs was useful. Easy reservation and check-in with very accommodating host. Our whole group agreed that we would love to stay here again!
What a great location for the River House. Hiking along the river across the bridge. Hike down a bit and you can see Mendenhall Glacier. We followed trails all the way down to the nature center, saw a frisky black bear in the yard and made a bunch of meals for the family. Our daughter and her sweetheart got married during our stay and Juneau did not disappoint!
Couldnât ask for a more iconic Juneau experience.
The view alone is worth staying at Juneau River House. The mountains overlooking the Mendenhall River looked different every day depending on the sunlight and clouds, but always breathtaking. The river itself such a calming presence; a natural white noise machine. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay: comfy beds, plenty of blankets, lots of lounging space in the living room, many tv apps for down time, full modern kitchen for ease of use. We found gold pans in the closet and were able to walk down a little path and pan for gold. If you go across the bridge, thereâs a trail that takes you down the river, but it was cut off from other trails by the recent floods. If youâre a rock picker, the beach across the river is FULL of them. We had a lovely time and didnât want to leave.
Had a fantastic time, the house was well maintained and had everything we needed. The view was amazing, i loved waking up to seeing the river every morning. Would definitely love to stay again!
We had a great time at the Juneau River house! Even though the river flooding at an unheard of level we had a wonderful time. The river stayed out of the house so all was great!
We had a wonderful time in Juneau - we booked this house for a family reunion for my wife and sister-in-law who grew up in Juneau. The location was perfect for our our activities - close to Auke Bay and the Mendenhall Glacier. The views from the deck were stunning. It was everything we wanted for our vacation. The owners were quick in responding with any questions. We all wish we were still there!
This house is great, especially the setting. Beautiful views & right on the Mendenhall River. Itâs close to grocery stores, the airport, Mendenhall Glacier & Auke Bay. Easy 10-15 minute drive to downtown Juneau. The kitchen was adequately supplied. Really the only down side, & only if you have a disability or problem with stairs, is the set of stairs you have to go up to get to the kitchen/living area. There are quite a few steps. Otherwise we highly recommend the Juneau River House. The view alone is worth it. Our family loved it.
Everything was great except for the 14 stairs inside to the upper floor.they had no backing and were slippery. Very dangerous. All the rest was great with great owners who even chopped wood for us.
The home was very clean. There were great views outside and from the windows. The owner stopped by a few time to make sure everything was good for us he also let us know where we could fish at which was great. Beds were very comfy. I Canât say enough great things. Itâs was just great. Thank you
