Area is awesome and checking in was a breeze. However that’s where it all goes wrong. Futons smell like body odor for starters. Pillows are flat and also have a sour odor. Beds were so bad we had to leave and rent a hotel due to back issues. When exploring Alaska the last thing you want is back problems and poor rest. When asked to refund last half of stay the host went silent and wouldn’t cancel our stay. Hopefully they use the money to fix the broken windows or put a television on the main hang out floor.

Family and I stayed at this place for a long weekend and we will definitely be back. Wonderful home with lots of fun details and lots of things to do and enjoy. We really enjoyed the tub and sauna. The teens enjoyed the Rec room. The music around the entire house was awesome. Thank you for a home away from home.

The house has amazing windows and views, with cozy bed linens and radiant floor heating. The house was well-appointed with items to meet basic needs for the stay. The area offers fun restaurants and nearby attractions. The owner was very easy to communicate with, and we had a fantastic stay.

"If you enjoy vacationing in small spaces with thin walls, uncomfortable furniture, and broken amenities throughout the property, then this place is for you. Slept 9 extremely uncomfortably with zero privacy or ample living space. Washer sounds like a helicopter is landing on the roof. Dryer squeals during operation. Espresso machine doesn't work. Living room seating is an uncomfortable sectional broken into pieces and scattered around the living room. Balcony has no furniture. Ice machine did not work. Bed in the loft room was missing wooden slats causing it to fold and lift up if weight was unevenly applied. Couldn't use the Hot tub. Couldn't use the Sauna. It was completely full of junk. Billiards triangle is too small to rack the balls. Drying closet didn't work. Multiple windows were broken and could not open. The lone redeeming quality is the waterfall within short walking distance. A+ by God on the waterfall. F- by the owners for attention to detail and care for property."

Girdwood home was amazing!

Girdwood home was amazing!

We just loved staying at this home with our six children. Ample room for everyone. I highly recommend the Virgin Creek Trail just a block away. I was impressed that there were no insects inside the home, despite it being in the forest. Owners were great with communication. Highlights for the children were the pool table and all the bunk beds to choose from! We would definitely stay there again, should we make our way back to Girdwood in the future.

We liked the location - very close to Alyeska for great skiing, the pool table was a plus, the basement had a great setup for storing our ski stuff and for getting ready for the day. It was very comfortable to just hang out at the house and a pretty location. Owner was great to respond. It was a fun place to stay.

This property was a great gathering space for a family ski-cation. the common area provided warmth and openness for pre and post ski meals, games, and conversation. The downstairs game room made the rainy days all the more entertaining, and the jaccuzi tub was a definite plus! All in all an excellent stay!

We spent most of our time in the main room with the giant windows it felt like we were in the trees on the second floor. We were there for a wedding and ended up with a lot of the wedding party there a lot of the time because this place was big enough for everyone to eat and the game room downstairs was perfect for entertainment. The hot tub did take the 3+ hours to get warm but the sauna was an hour and ended up being used multiple times. This was a perfect home base for our wedding and we highly recommend it to everyone!!

We especially enjoyed the sauna & cold dips!

Excellent beds/bedrooms for our family of 6. Good location not far from Anchorage with lots of beautiful hikes nearby. Nicely stocked gorgeous kitchen. Fun game room. We loved the steam sauna then we'd jump into the "hot" tub after but didn't heat that up so we could cool down with cold dips before running back to the sauna. We would stay here again!

This house is perfectly situated to explore Girdwood and the surrounding areas. The neighborhood location is quiet and private despite being close to neighbors and town. The home has many upscale features and is so comfortable. Love the open concept living, radiant heat flooring, and large windows. Would highly recommend.

Amazing Girdwood getaway

Wonderful spacious home in a great location. Very crowded neighborhood, however this property has great privacy feel with all the trees! Great for little ones! Enjoyed using the sauna. Did not utilize the hot tub just because we didn't feel comfortable messing with it and the time it took to get it fired up! Kitchen had everything we needed to accommodate cooking! Would highly recommend! 😊 memorable weekend away for all.
