The views from the house are amazing. The Kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed. We had three family with us and the three levels made the stay enjoyable for all the members of the families. We only had one hiccup and that was we did not know how to take out the trash. We contact the owner and he had it taken care of right away. Overall, it was a great visit, the host was great and we would stay there again.

Some friends and I rented this house for our stay. We were able to use it as our base for doing some fishing down the peninsula and just being a tourist. Great place to relax, enjoy Girdwood and cook. Beautiful house, we will definitely be back. Thanks

Not our first time staying in this amazing house. It was great to use the new hot tub and enjoy the new rooms that have been added! Really hope to return again soon for another relaxing weekend! Thank you so much for the Girdwood memories!

The house was nice and it’s close to the ski slopes. Property manager was great! However, it is located high up in the neighborhood and the road wasn’t maintained during our entire stay. We were unable to drive up to the house and had to park in neighbors drive and walk up the road to the house for 3 of our 4 night stay. We did speak with the owner regarding this who confirmed it’s supposed to be plowed and graveled each day and he would call to make sure it was done. It never was. We also sustained damage to vehicle due to the unmaintained road. All and all, way too much stress for what it was worth and what we payed. I did request a partial refund due to being unable to access the house except by foot and the owner declined as “he doesn’t control the roads”. So if you stay here in winter, make sure you have a vehicle that can drive on steep, icy, unmaintained roads.

Clean, big and beautiful. We had a wonderful time! Kitchen stocked well with extra items like a crockpot and griddle.
Make sure you have 4-wheel drive during the winter months.

We had a blast staying at the Girdwood Getaway! It is tucked away from the action of the ski hill, but is close enough for easy access. The home had everything we needed for our stay, and the kids loved the games room. The big surprise was the luxurious ensuite off the Master Bedroom! Highly recommended as a place to unwind!

We stayed here on a ski vacation with a large group of adults and had a wonderful time. The only problem was that some cars could not get up the road to the house as it was quite icy. The house is well-appointed and we appreciated the garbage pickup midweek. Too bad there isn't any recycling in Girdwood.
5.0
House was great! Plenty of space and situated nicely close to town and mountain for skiing. Hot tub and basement was nice to have after a day on slopes. Would stay again.

One of the highlights of my trip to Alaska was the quality of this cottage. I visited with a group of 6 other adults and there was plenty of room for us all to spread out. The hot tub was very clean/new, the view from the balcony was spectacular, the kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of games to keep us busy.
Aside from the quality of property, I also want to emphasize the effort that the owner/manager put in throughout the rental process. From the moment I booked my stay, the line of communication was open for whatever I needed leading up to our visit. The rental agent was very flexible at making sure our group was taken care of regardless of what we might have needed.
Overall I couldn’t have chosen a better place to spend the week at while skiing around Alyeska. If I ever have the opportunity to visit this part of the world again, I hope that I could stay here again!

Fantastic place to stay to ski and play with family for the New Years holiday! Whole house is well maintained and very clean! Only minor suggestion is to remove cobwebs in upstairs master room. We only discovered after a few days into our stay but were too high to deal with, otherwise so nice! Thank you!

This is our second stay at this beautiful property. Girdwood is a beautiful place and this property is a great place to stay while there. The house has everything you need to enjoy your time there. Plenty of room to spread out and there’s a nice hot tub to relax in after a long day out exploring Alaska. There’s a pool table and game table downstairs if you decide to pick up some pizza and spend some time in one evening. The views are beautiful from the large windows or outside deck. It’s just a great location and a beautiful property with awesome views. I will definitely rent this property again if it’s available if/when I return to Girdwood.

This home was absolutely amazing! We loved the location to the brewery, slopes, and we used the hot tub very day! Very clean, and it had plenty of space and beds for our group.
5.0
Overall, the house worked great for us. Comfy beds, well-stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and supplies. Enjoyed the hot tub and soaker tub.
Would be nice if the two windows above the bed in master suite could be covered, since it's light outdoors almost all night. Tub in downstairs bathroom has slow drain.

The den/game room downstairs was the most used room in the house. The view of the snow-capped mountains while we ate breakfast upstairs was phenomenal. I would definitely stay here again.

This place was absolutely amazing for our group of 8 adults. We walked to town a few times which was about a 20 minute walk which was great. The place was great for friends to hang out. I was planning on checking out the new spa at the hotel and skipped it because between the master bathroom and the hot tub I felt like I was at a spa at this house. Also the kitchen is extremely well stocked and views are incredible. Will definitely be back.

This house was amazing and the location was perfect for the activities we partook in. The Master Bedroom soaking tub was an absolute life saver after hitting the slopes and the shower was equally impressive. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to staying there again.

We had two families and a couple of the kids friends stay for the weekend. This place was stocked perfectly for our enjoyment. The downstairs was the “fun spot” for the teens to play and sleep, including board games. We would stay again. Thanks Jackie!

This was a great rental. The hot tub, game room, and space was enjoyed. The house was well stocked with everything you might need. The only issue we had was the handle on the main floor bathroom sink kept coming off. I would highly suggest staying here.
