Nice place. Better for three couples rather than individuals since the beds are all double occupancy. Very comfortable and relaxing.
4.5
The place does not look like the pictures at all. It is not well maintained at all.
The dishes and the oven were dirty. The property manager was clearly aware that cleanliness was an issue for this cabin as a recent comment had mentioned it. Given this, they could have sent someone to check before our arrival, they did not.
The hot tub was not working. We informed the property manager upon our arrival, they told us they would take care of it, they never did.
We asked for a partial refund. It’s been one week. They keep saying they will take care of it. Yeah, sure…
Needless to say, I do not recommend to rent this place. And I will not rent any property managed by Vacasa in the future.
4.5
This property badly needs to be up dated, new paint and carpeting would help a lot. The bathroom sink upstairs needs to be replaced as it has many worn spots and chips. Small amenities are missing such as a dust pan to go with the broom and a waste basket in the upstairs bed room. Watch out for the extra "service" fee.However, the location can't be beat and is very close to the resort.
4.5
It was cozy, quiet, comfortable, and clean. It was exactly what us 5 needed to have to relax in as we explored Alaska!

Had a great time with my children and Boyfriend. Everything was great. I would definitely stay again.

Location and space
4.5
This cabin is in a great location, good size, and was an added bonus that we could bring our dogs. The check in process was seamless and all amenities were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
4.5
House was as advertised, clean. Kids loved the hot tub. It was a short walk to ski lifts, we will definitely stay again, thank you!
4.5
Wonderful place, highly recommend. Would stay here again in the future.

The house is great for families that need some space and want to have meals there and down time/naps. I did let them know they need to add some more forks/spoons and also some basic water/beer/wine glasses. Only found coffee mugs. Plenty of towels for showering and hot tub. Hot tub was nice and private, but be prepared to shovel yourself if it dumps snow. Beds were fine and plenty of seating for meals but living room furniture could use an update. House itself is picturesque with lots of chalet style windows to enjoy the snow piled up outside. Location is ideal!

My husband and I enjoyed our short stay for our honeymoon! Lots of snow and beautiful scenery, super close to all of Girdwood / Alyeska amenities. Comfy beds and most things you need in the kitchen.
A Keurig and maybe a few other more commonly used items (we left cooking spray for others) would be helpful, if you plan to cook I would recommend checking the cupboard before you go shopping or bring all you'll need.
Beware there isn't a lot of hot water so you may need to space out showers.
Extra blankets in the livingroom would be another great perk. We used an extra blanket from the closet, but hate to dirty a larger linen just to cozy up on the couch.
Overall we loved the place, and it was plenty roomy for a family. Beautiful views and available hot tub to use!
Hoping we can visit here again!

Nice location. Roomy!! Highly recommend!
4.5
Nice home and clean. Few concerns. Hot tub is in full view of all the neighbors so was not used. There are no window coverings in living room so we're in a fish bowl surrounded by neighbors when it's dark. Recliners sound like they'll break as soon as you recline. Shower handle comes completely off so you have to balance it back on to turn water on & to off.
4.5
Very cute place! I was a bit disappointed that the hot tub is backed up to a parking lot,maybe throw up a privacy fence!Other than that it was great! Having the washer and dryer is a huge bonus! This place was my key to Girdwood which I fell completely in love with! I will be back!!!
4.5
Convenient for everything in Girdwood, everything we needed was provided for a comfortable stay
4.5
Nice location
4.5
The cabin was clean and had plenty of room for our family if 4 to spread out. Appliances were new, property was clean, and the hot tub was nice. You are close to other cabins, however the surrounding trees and shrubs make it seem more secluded. The cabin is close to stores and restaurants, the scenery was beautiful. The only reason I am not leaving a 5 star review is the bed in the master bedroom. It squeaked every time I moved, the mattress was not very comfortable, and the pillows were flat. Taking that into consideration, I would still give this rental a 4.8.
4.5
Loved the location and space in the house.
4.5
The unit was very clean and had preparations for every eventuality…, Extra towels… Extra Bedding… Laundry detergent… All of the appliances were new and clean and worked! It was a Win- Win- Win!
4.5
We liked this house, the washer/dryer, kitchen and location in Girdwood. Only reason for not a 5 star is that the bed spring and the recliners need to be replaced. The bed spring was the squeakiest I have ever experienced and recliner would not stay reclined.
4.5
We had a nice time. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay from towels, dishes, games, and coffee. Very cute and would stay again!
4.5
This home is in horrible condition with worn carpets and linens, the hot tub looks into a parking lot with no privacy and the living room has no curtains so also no privacy. We could not stay in the home and are still awaiting a confirmation for our refund from Vacasa who has been very non-responsive. Steer clear of this one and look for a home that has a responsive on site property manager. Very disappointing to say the least.
4.5
Was great would saty again and suggest to friends we loved it just staying longer next time!!
4.5
Just perfect

As described and expected! Our family enjoyed our stay.

Great quaint cabin. We enjoyed our little getaway. We would come back.
4.5
Bathroom shower surround and upstairs sink show major wear or damage. Upstairs toilet leaks. Minimal dishes, only 3 drinking cups, 4 different sized bowls, fry pans badly scraped nonstick (teflon was badly scratched did not feel safe to use), luckily one good stainless pan to use, not enough silverware for a party of 6. Advertised for party of six, the table only seats 5. There was a fireplace, no wood and no note about purchasing wood prior to the visit. For $400 a night one bundle of wood would have been nice.
Beds squeak and hard pillows.
The walkways leading to the home had significant ice build up, it was clear folks from prior visits had fallen off narrow walkway due to bush encroachment into the pathway.
10 am check out and 4 pm check in is very limiting for the price, asked for a later checkout and no useful response.
The location was very nice, enough room for our group and the hot tub was a bonus.
Not likely to stay here again at this price for the limited amenities.
4.5
Great resting spot for a ski trip!
4.5
LOVED that this place allowed pets and has a hot tub. Dates but functional space for a getaway! It’s spacious and served us well for what we needed.
4.5
The most beautiful location. The views are out of this world. It's so quiet. Everything was great. It's a perfect location. The jacuzzi was awesome too.
4.5
Four days before arrival I was contacted and told the hot tub doesn't work. I was told we could be relocated or they would refund $100 per night, if we elected to stay. I asked what my relocation options were, and was told they would contact me with relocation options, and then I didn't hear anything else, despite repeated calls to find out our options. When I was finally given one relocation option, I told them we would stay where we are and take the $100 per night refund. At that time, I was told the person who offered the $100 per night refund didn't have the authority to offer a $100 per night refund, and they would only give me a $50 per night refund.
I was also told the hot tub would be repaired on 26Oct, two days before our departure, but no one ever came to fix it.
The condo has not been updated since the 70s. There is a Jacuzzi tub, which was the reason we elected to stay rather than be relocated, but there wasn't even enough hot water for two showers, let alone to fill up the tub.
There was no extra toilet paper, so we had to get the toilet paper from the half-bath upstairs. Speaking of upstairs, there is a nail or something sharp protruding from the second stair from the top.
There were disposable cups in the cabinet, and some of them had names written on them, and should have been thrown away.
The smoke detector beeped constantly, and the battery needs to be replaced. The batteries also need to be replaced in the remote control.
The cover below the oven won't stay on, and the refrigerator makes a very loud banging noise, and sounds like it is on it's last leg.
In short, pick another place, this one is not worth the cost.
Homeowner, you should pick another property management company, Vacasa did a very poor job of representing you.

Was super cute and comfy. Perfect for a adults night away from kids. Felt right at home with everything ready to go and a full kitchen.
4.5
Very relaxing.
4.5
Stayed here with a family of 6. Mostly comfortable, cute cabin. We enjoyed the hot tub and bbq. The beds could use updating. We had an issue with a few things and management responded quickly, which was great. The bath/shower is tricky and in our opinion dangerously slippery and unstable.
However the location is perfect for exploring Girdwood and the surrounding area!
4.5
We loved this little place. We were on a girls trip to celebrate my mom's 87th birthday. We had one little problem with the dryer, but Vacasa responded immediately to our request. Great location, and very quiet neighborhood. Definitely coming back to this place.
4.5
Nice location, easy check in and check out. It was great to relax the hot tub after hiking. Could use a better selection of dining ware, especially bowls and drinking glasses. We enjoyed our stay in Girdwood.
