About this property

Grandma's Private Room and Bath - DISCOUNTS ON TOURS

Relax in your private room with a private bathroom in a nicely remodeled Tudor-style house in the Mendenhall Valley. This affordable accommodation is one room in a shared, five-bedroom, three-bath home. We rent each room separately. Grandma's Bedroom is on the second level of the property.

Your private room features a king bed, two nightstands, lamp, dresser, casual chair, mirror, and private bathroom.

The home boasts granite countertops, and large open spaces. It has three full bathrooms, a TV room, living room, kitchen, dining, and laundry rooms. The house is peaceful and comfortable - friendly people mostly keep to themselves. The bus stop is steps from the front door, and the house has plenty of parking. It is 2.5 miles from the airport.

Self check-in with a lockbox, so late arrival is not a problem.

Check-in is at 4 pm, and check out is at 11 am. Early arrival and late departure may be available for a fee of $50.

Host, Kelli, is a co-owner of a tour company with over 25 tours throughout Alaska, and offers a 10% discount on the tours to our guests. Popular tours offered in Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, and Sitka include whale watching, salmon bakes, river rafting, kayaking, canoe tours, boat tours, hiking, gold panning, private cars, Mendenhall Glacier tours, jeep tours, Alaska RV and Cruise tour packages, and more. If you are interested in this discount, ask us for the details.

We strive to provide the best customer service and improve as we go with feedback from our guests. We hope to earn your five-star review! Please understand that reviews drive our business. A rating lower than 5-stars based on amenities we do not promise or things we can not change, such as location, will hurt our business. Please be honest, but rate the property based on the promises we make.

We Promise:
Easy check-in process! You will self-check in with a lock box. Details will be emailed to you five days prior to arrival or upon booking, if within five days. You will access the rental at your leisure after 4 pm. Early check-in may be available for a $50 fee.

Great Communication! We are known to be responsive to guests before, during, and after their stay. You can expect prompt responses to your questions.

Clean Accommodations! – Your private room should be sparkling clean. The common areas are cleaned twice per month, so we can't guarantee the status of the house upon your arrival as other people will likely be there actively using the home.

Great Mendenhall Valley Location! – It's steps from the city bus stop and two miles from the famous Mendenhall Glacier which you can get to by car or foot via a paved bike path or gravel trail. You can take the bus for one mile and walk the second mile. This is not a downtown Juneau property. Downtown Juneau is substantially more expensive than the Mendenhall Valley. This location, for the price, should not be compared to downtown. If you want to be downtown, and don't want to take a 45 minute bus ride to go 16 miles, then this space is not for you.

Accurate Description of the space! - We try to make continuous improvements when guests make suggestions and do our best to keep the changes updated and published. If we miss anything, please let us know. We will fix it. If you are missing something you were counting on, please tell us immediately, so we can try to provide it for your stay.

Great Value! – Juneau is expensive, especially during peak season. While this is a more affordable option, we understand it can still be expensive. The price fluctuates depending on the season. We have long, slow periods here in Alaska.
A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker, and housekeeping is provided on request.
This smoke-free hostel features books, snowboarding nearby, and ecotours nearby. Recreational activities include rock climbing nearby, cross-country skiing nearby, and hiking/biking trails nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

A peaceful stay in Mendenhaul Glacier valley.
There was a small glitch with my reservation, but the property manager immediately corrected it to my satisfaction and earned a 5 star rating. A lovely stay close to the glacier and bus line ($2) to downtown Juneau. Stay is very clean and well equipped. Highly recommended!

Grandma's Bedroom was quaint and exactly as advertised. Great value. Very clean and perfect for a person or couple on the cheap visiting Juneau. Close to the glacier and bus line. Best part was communication from host.

Good location
My friend and I stayed here for a few days of vacation in Juneau. We had a vehicle so that made our stay super convenient as we were near the airport and ferry terminal, and could easily make the drive into downtown when we wanted. The house was super clean and tidy, room was comfortable and check in was very easy. Only note was there was a massive wasp nest outside of the bedroom window which was interesting to watch but meant we couldn’t open the windows! I passed this on to the host who sounded like they would deal with it as soon as they could. Overall great stay.

En el baño en que nos tocó en el techo bajo y es incómodo bañarte, y la taza de baño muy pegada a la tina, eso no lo supimos hasta que habíamos contratado la habitación, por otro lado la limpieza de las áreas generales es muy mala, la sala se ve que tiene años que yo no la limpian, el mantel de la mesa es muy sucio, en general la limpieza está muy superficialmente, lo mencioné a los dueños, y me dijeron que hacen la limpieza una vez al mes y que yo debería de entender que por ser barato no podía esperar mucho más, desde mi punto de vista lo sencillo no está peleado con la limpieza
