After a 10-year history of renting homes, I’ve never written a poor review until now. Unhinged is the best word to describe my experience with the host of this property, Shawn Gannon. From his defensive and argumentative attitude towards an amenities request, which then precipitated his demand to meet me in the garage of his rental property the next day to demand an apology, which then precipitated a 5-minute rampage on the phone to spew totally irrelevant issues concerning the rental (on the day of my son’s wedding), which then precipitated his entering the rental property unannounced with the houseguests present, which then precipitated his yelling at one of them with a pointed finger, to finally his overall obsession with guest thievery…. Shawn’s actions and words were extremely over-the-top and inappropriate. Whether you chalk it up to a host having a bad day or a host with poor anger management skills, either way it is no excuse for a host to treat his guests in this manner.
Ironically, Rule #1 of the Mountain View Guest House: Rental Rules states: “We request that you treat our home respectfully”. Mr. Gannon needs to heed some of his own advice and conversely treat his guests respectfully as well, a basic expectation of guests spending over $1100.00 per night. Due to my disturbing experience with the host, I wouldn’t recommend and would highly discourage the rental of this property. Should you choose to do so anyway, I’d advise you not to question the towel count.

Finding a place to sleep while exploring Anchorage and Seward, and it is ideally situated. Nice and quiet.

Very responsive and the property is even more beautiful in person.

We had a wonderful stay in our Girdwood home. The accommodations and location were excellent, and Shawn was easy to work with. We would stay here again when we visit Alaska!

This home is gorgeous and kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies. We only stayed 2 nights as a stop off to Homer because we wanted to hike the Girdwood area and enjoy the Nordic spa. Apart from the kitchen, this home is less well stocked than others we’ve stayed in with respect to linens and other amenities such as bedding and bathroom supplies. Plan on bringing all your own toiletries as it states in the description and as others have mentioned. The beds are comfortable, but only one pillow per person and they could use replacing. The owner met us at the house, gave us a full tour of the house and stayed for a while to talk. He was very nice, but it was a bit awkward - we were exhausted after a very long travel day from CA and just wanted to drop our bags and head to dinner, and he stayed for about 45 minutes going over the house and rules. We’ve never experienced that with other vacation rentals. The couches in the living room were also covered in large sheets because they are leather. He seemed like he wanted us to keep them covered so we did, but that was uncomfortable/odd. The pool table was super fun, the views are great, and the neighbors/neighborhood are lovely. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but would probably look somewhere else next time because it really felt like the owners would rather not have people staying in their home which gave it an uncomfortable/unwelcoming vibe overall.

We found this rental to be perfect for a small group of friends meeting for the weekend. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stalked and a fun place for us to cook together, the livingroom/kitchen was very inviting. The pool table also a great asset, thanks for the fun. The only reason I took a star off for location was we found it a little too far to walk to the ski hill or restaurants in the "town center", others might not find it too far at all. This is the second time wwe have rented this home and would do so again.

My family and I stayed at the property for a week for my wedding at Alyeska Resort. Hosts were great with communication and very thorough in their house instructions and tips for things to do in the area. The location is great, with the main area of Girdwood no more than 10 minutes away, and easy access to the highway. The house is very spacious and was the perfect home base for our day trips in Alaska.
4.8
This is a good home for a large group. We had 9 for a wedding. Very nice living area with fireplace and pool table. However, home was short on amenities. No soap for showers ,very limited hangers, no extra pillows or blankets and lots of rules. Only way to get streaming on the tv was with physically connecting our iPad . We reached out to the owners re additional pillows and Hangers were told they were locked up but no response other than that. We stayed in 3 homes during our Alaska visit, with this one having the least amenities. My son left his laundry in the dryer and the owner was nice enough to gather and placed those in the home where we could retrieve them. Overall good clean home for large group with a good location.

Wonderful property. Owner was great to work with. Plenty of room for 2 families and home was squeaky clean and well stocked. Best rental in Girdwood!

This was our 2nd stay at the property and everything was wonderful yet again.

The homeowners were great to work with and it was a very good location for doing all the activities in the area.

The house was in a very safe and scenic area. Shawn, the owner, took time to explain a bunch of things about the house and the area in general. The house was very spacious and perfect for our group of 7, and the pool table was a huge hit! One note, the oven/burners are a bit "off" (oven gets super hot and a few burners don't work) but he told me about it ahead of time and that he would be replacing soon anyways....so no biggie at all and we were able to make it work for our needs. The views out the windows are unbelievable and the location can't be beat- so close to all the hiking and biking you could want. Plus, easy drives to Seward, Whittier, etc. for other adventures. All in all a great spot!
4.8
We had a great time. The property was spotlessly clean. The only thing that was lacking was coffee for the coffee pot and soap and shampoo for the showers. Thank you.

Hosts were wonderful! The home was immaculate, location was perfect, we wished we didn't have to leave!

This place was just right for our large family vacation. The pool table was super fun. When I looked at the place, there was a picture of the view out the great room window, and it showed a trampoline, which was something I thought was also something we had access to, however, it must have been the neighbors. (Not a big deal.) The linens were nice, the kitchen was wonderful, everything in the house was super clean except the oven. (Not a big deal.) The one thing that wasn't quite right was the lack of hand towels in a couple of the bathrooms, and there was no laundry access,
4.8
My family and I love this place. Beautiful sky lights, pool table, huge kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms. The host was very helpful. We would definitely stay here again!
4.8
Great house for my family who traveled from the east coast to attend my son's wedding at Crow Creek Mine. House had everything we needed, very comfortable and a great garage to organize things we needed for the wedding.
4.8
Well equipped house, with a beautiful view out of the sitting area. We used it as a jumping off point for day trips to both Cooper Landing and Seward.
4.8
Perfect house and locations for my sisters and I to spend a week. The house was incredible with plenty of room for us to spread out. Pool table is a plus! Shawn and Maggie were incredible hosts. They were quick to reply to our questions. Shawn met us at the house and spent time providing us with info on the area. We had a perfect time and will can't wait to visit again!
4.8
This is a wonderful property. The owners are very accommodating and the house is pristine. We were able to sleep our entire group comfortably and really enjoyed the downstairs sitting room with the pool table. This property is perfect for families traveling together and is walking distance to tons of fun hikes and the town of Girdwood. 10/10 would stay again.

We booked a 2 night stay and received a text message at 10am the second day informing us that we needed to leave by 11am because we had too many cars in the driveway. When we tried to call the owners they refused to answer our phone call. We were told there was no discussion and we needed to leave. It was disappointing that the owners would not communicate with us and we feel the situation was handled very poorly.

My 5 family members rented this house in March for niece's wedding in Girdwood. Very comfortable and clean. Pool table is a bonus. Oven control didn't work but owner came out to fix.

We have a large family so we decided to stay in a house instead of the hotel. Best decision ever! The house accommodated our family of 8 without problems. The house is wonderfully furnished, warm and comfortable. The location is in a very quiet and respected neighborhood. Highly recommend!!!

We stayed here for our office retreat and had a great time. We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table for additional recreation options. Would recommend this property.
4.8
This home is beautiful, clean and nicely furnished. The kitchen had all the essentials to fix a family meal. Beds were comfortable with nice linens. We enjoyed the pool table and the hot tub. The owner's orientation to the house was thorough, as is the book of instructions. This orientation and the house rules keep this property nice for guests and owners. We hope to rent again in the future.

We loved it, very clean, quiet, our friendly Julie, checked to make sure we had what we needed, got the hot tub fixed quickly. Was a pleasure to be here. The 7 WI Ladies😍

We came to Girdwood on a family vacation. The house was beautiful, most notably the kitchen which was well stocked and super nice. The pool table was a hit. The view from the main room was amazing.
The beds were too soft for our family's liking, and there was no bath soap or shampoo/conditioner provided which is the only reason I take away a star- this is a 4 1/2 star property.
The property manager is so great- she was available to answer any questions about the town, very very helpful!

The house in Girdwood has four bedrooms and a loft area along with three full bathrooms. It was perfect for our family of ten. The mountain views were breathtaking. Everyone enjoyed the pool table and the hot tub. Most nights we were up until midnight as it was still light out. We were extremely happy with our selection. Bonnie G
