While my stay started off well, it quickly deteriorated. I was under the impression that we were…read morebooking a hotel-like room; however, the owner had the freedom to enter my room while I was in bed and spoke to me in a condescending manner. This behavior is entirely unacceptable. If there are specific rules, they should be clearly posted or communicated to guests in advance. If children are not welcome, this should be explicitly stated in the advertisement. Under no circumstances should anyone walk into a guest's room uninvited, especially while they are in their pajamas, and criticize their parenting. My son was not being loud while warming up his food, even though it was late. Considering it's summer break and the sun stays up longer, it's unreasonable to expect children to follow a strict bedtime. I wish you all the best with your business, but I cannot recommend this place to anyone, life is too short to deal with this kind of non-sense. Avoid ruining your vacation with such an experience.

Each rental is unique, so be sure to carefully review before renting- some are yurts, some are cabins, some are units in a house- but they're all ADORABLE! The campus is very comfy, with several fire pits, BBQs, a cedar sauna, string lights, bird feeders and art work. There's song birds everywhere- it's very ALASKAN. if you're not from here and you want a taste of local, but with all the comforts of home (wifi, TV, warm water, heat, etc) I recommend this over other motel/hotel options. The towels and sheets may not match, but you'll be comfortable, have access to pots and pans, access to bikes, be within walking distance to downtown, and be able to sit in under the forest canopy or in the sauna at night after a busy day. Will definitely return here, probably this winter when there are less tourists around and there's an off season discount.

They have several different cabins and cottages. Each are made different and availability of…read moreamenities are different as well. Some has a shower, or just bath tub, or nothing at all. We stayed at a garden cabin with no hot water, no shower, no toilet within. Outhouse is behind the cottage. We were warned no running water a week before arrival but running water became available by the time we arrived. A cottage has a sink, microwave oven, hot water kettle and coffee machine. A gas fireplace kept us warm at night. We selected based on walking distance from downtown where great restaurants and shops are available. Innkeeper lives nearby and we saw him always working on something. He said he is working to get hot water to this particular cottage and eventually install a shower and a toilet. He was a very hard working and nice person. He came us to pick us up from a bus stop and offered us to take to the train station (both are within a walking distance). If not taking a shower for a few days do not bother you, this is a great little place with privacy and quietness. I even spotted moose twice from a safe distance! I felt like it was a true Alaskan experience for studying a cottage like this.

Being rigid, unyielding, and questionable with tenant housing rights is probably a coping mechanism…read morefor staying in the rental property business. I don't hold the first two points against Todd O'Banion as I have no desire to run a rental enterprise and I empathize with the many terrible tenants he may have to handle. But I am chagrined by the ethics of using tenant ignorance to one's advantage. My experience is that his attitude and management techniques do not translate well to tenants. While his preference is military personnel, O'Banion will rent to the muggles who also call Anchorage (most of the rentals) and The Valley (less of the rentals) their home. My advice for all renters/tenants is as follows: - - Know your leasing and renter rights under Alaska Law and do not be wary of using those laws to challenge statements that Todd or his employees tell you. - - Carefully read your rental agreement. It wouldn't be a bad idea to review the agreement with a lawyer, first, as you may have to deal with a lawyer, later. Pay extra close attention to the clauses that explain leaving your rental early. - - Be prepared to retain legal counsel, because this organization borders on techniques that might be construed as bullying or doublespeak. On several occasions, I was told one thing by an employee and something different (and begrudgingly) from Todd. Whether their comments are knowingly deceptive or the result of ignorance, I am not sure. - - Todd O'Banion will use the full extent of the lease to nab away money from your deposit. In my instance it was the lawn. It wasn't freshly mowed (but not overgrown, either.) There was a subtraction on my returned deposit of 425 dollars for the mowing of a third acre lawn. I have not been able to find any mowing services that charges that much for their services. Ultimately, this is an honest account of my experience. I am a decently well-educated individual who is willing to explore my rights and willing to challenge statements that appear intimidating or erroneous. I did this on multiple occasions. I feel bad for the tenant who does not have the capacity, time, or knowledge that they are being misled or bullied. At some point, I was wore down with fighting and gave up. For instance, I chose not to fight the lawn mowing situation. Congratulations, Todd. Beat me on that one. To be a tenant that feels summarily distraught is not a great feeling. Do not be fooled, Todd O'Banion is intent on making money for himself, and the clients he represents. If I owned a home that I wanted someone else to manage, I suppose I would want someone like Todd O'Banion to protect my investment. But personally, I will never rent from this organization in the future. My sister and brother-in-law had an experience that was more negative than mine, but I will allow them to post their experience should they desire to do that. Finally, I know this is not how all landlords treat their tenants. The last two companies I have leased from have been wonderful and accommodating from beginning to end. If Todd, or anyone else, contends with this entry as inadmissible or fake, I have all of my documentation from my time with this company. Feel free to reach out for further information.
