Parking my campervan on Ethan's property was exactly what I needed! After a gloomy first week in Anchorage fighting for a decent campsite elsewhere, I needed somewhere quiet and safe I could set up camp for a bit, and the ability to charge my house batteries, if possible.
Ethan's property offered that and more. The property is within a quiet residential neighborhood with a quintessential woods woven throughout. The road leading to the property winds quite a bit, so drive safely! But other than a few bumps at the end it is extremely easy to reach, and after the "hustle and bustle" of Anchorage, is a nice reprieve to escape into the woodsy atmosphere.
Ethan was here to greet me and helped direct me into my spot. He made sure I knew where everything was so I could hook up, and the bear spray made me feel much more secure....as I was straightening out my van in its spot, Ethan pointed out a female moose and her calf just behind my van! Both Ethan and his wife offered me great tips for staying safe as I explore Alaska, and they were so, so kind to me. They introduced me to their dogs, and it felt very much like staying with family with how kind and considerate they were. They were very respectful of my privacy while also remaining available for anything I needed. I can not overstate how great it was to be here! Would highly recommend staying here, especially if you need something quieter and a little bit "away" while still being 15 minutes from the main parts of Anchorage.
