Discover Mountainside Manor: Where Luxury Meets Alaskan Wilderness

Welcome to Mountainside Manor, a luxurious retreat perched on the edge of Anchorage, Alaska. Nestled in a peaceful hillside neighborhood, this haven is not just a place to stay; it's an invitation to immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of the Last Frontier.

Location and Setting:
Mountainside Manor's location is both serene and convenient. Situated on a mountain hillside, it offers a quiet escape surrounded by wilderness. Here, you'll regularly encounter Alaska's magnificent wildlife, including moose, bears, lynx, and eagles. While the residence provides a peaceful retreat, it's just a short 20-minute drive from the airport and a straightforward 20-minute highway journey to downtown Anchorage. This proximity allows you to explore the city's attractions while still enjoying the tranquility of the Alaskan wilderness. A single switchback turn leads to the residence, making a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicle the ideal choice for winter access.

From the porch, you can marvel at the twinkling lights of Anchorage's cityscape at night, and during the day, take in breathtaking vistas of Cook Inlet, Fire Island with its iconic windmills, and the majestic silhouette of Mount Susitna, often referred to as the Sleeping Lady due to its graceful resemblance.
