5.0 / 5.0
The house was beautiful and clean. The location was amazing. The stream running under the house, the hot tub, and the sauna put it over the top. Host was super sweet and helpful as well. Will definitely be staying there again when we come back!

A beautiful and relaxing property, in a great location. The hot tub and sauna are excellent, and the sauna is a high-end Finnish-style one. Close to a few restaurants and a grocery (Crow Mercantile). There are several great hikes around, near the Alyeska Resort.
We would definitely come back!!

Unique, Quiet and Clean
This home consists of 2 units, separated by a shared hot tub. It’s very clean and comfortable. Located in a quiet area of Girdwood, it’s convenient to Whittier (boat tour), the Alyeska resort (great hiking trails for us plus skiing in the winter), and the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. What is unique? It has a creek running under the house (and between the units)! We enjoyed listening to the sounds of the water running. Makiko was a great host — very responsive and accommodating.

Awesome location!!!
The rental was exactly as described. Comfortable and cute and creek was amazing. Host left us anything we may need including bug zapper rackets! Really helpful as the mosquitos were crazy! Thank you Makiko 😘💚🥰

An odd property
One bathroom and a huge lack of privacy - poor layout. Our last property was so lovely this one stood out poorly in comparison. We would not return.

Perfect Location in Girdwood
Overall very pleasant experience from the get-go. Home as stated and exceptionally clean! Stayed with two friends and really enjoyed that the location was walkable to some of the main restaurants such as Jack Sprat and Girdwood Brewing Company. Lots of space for an entire family or two. Hot tub an added perk. Great choice for our 3 night stay and served as a central hub for other day trips such as Seward. Would recommend!

Unit A--Good for Close Family
This was a very clean rental, with an above-average, well-equipped kitchen and some quirky but generally good design features. In sunny weather, the deck by the stream is particularly nice. Location is good, next to Moose Meadow and the slopes and trails. There's not much privacy with the sleeping spaces, so this is more of a family cottage than a place for a diverse group.

Quaint Wilderness Cabin
This house was the perfect solution for our visit to Alaska. The cabin is located in a picturesque ski resort town and is located 45 minutes from Anchorage. Its well equipped, furnished comfortably and affordable. We would definitely stay here again.

Family Wedding in Girdwood
The property is unique with a creek running under the house. Beautiful surroundings, moss covered rocks and ferns just off the decks. Very clean with natural light and large windows to enjoy the outside views. We loved having a fireplace in the beautiful living room with very comfortable couches!!!

Great location and layout
Glacier Creek Lodge was the ideal location when you're staying in the Girdwood area. We stayed in Unit A and really liked everything about this place. We had everything we needed...plenty of space, great kitchen, nice living room, comfortable beds and a bonus creek running underneath the building! The sound was so relaxing. And the view out the living room window was fantastic...looked like a picture. Makiko was an excellent host and great communicator. We will definitely come back here on our next visit to Girdwood. Thank you.

My family (grandma, mom, aunt, teenager, +2 babies) stayed in the back unit for a long birthday weekend at Alyeska and I cannot recommend the condo more highly. We walked in and immediately felt right at home. We had an absolutely wonderful time and plan to come back many, many more times in the future. We had a 7-month old and 2 yr old with us - the condo is baby/child friendly, with safety screens covering the stair railings and a spacious main floor to spread out. We needed to rearrange some of the furniture (coffee table, floor lamp) to be a bit more toddler-friendly and block the stairs, but otherwise the house was perfect for our little family. The downstairs room was fantastic for the littles - blocked noise and light for naps, while the rest of the family could continue to socialize upstairs. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. Fun fireplace to sit in front of and dry out wet snow gear. The sauna and hot tub were a HUGE hit with everyone and used throughout the day/evening. We were able to easily walk 5-10 minutes up to the mountain; easy to pop back and forth for naps, snacks, and cocoa breaks!

We rented both units for our son’s wedding weekend. The accommodations were perfect for our family of 4 in the first home and the Best Man’s family in the second home. Conversations around the fireplace and in the hot tub made the weekend all the more perfect and memorable.

Great Glacier Lodge
Wonderful property! We enjoyed our stay at Glacier Lodge. The property was perfect for our large group as we were able to spread out between the two separate units. The kitchens were well stocked with plenty of supplies and good quality cookware. Makiko was terrific! She let us stay late on our last day to accommodate a late departure out of Anchorage. The hot tub and sauna were a huge hit with our teenage boys. We will definitely be back!

Blown Away by Birthday Decorations for Our Son!
Makiko took the time to drive to Anchorage to buy our son 7th birthday decorations to surprise him with when we arrived for his birthday celebration! Our son was SHOCKED! Makiko had a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" banner taped on the wall and other birthday decorations around the kitchen. In addition, when we arrived to the unit a bit early on the check in day, she allowed us to put the food we had just purchased from the grocery store in Anchorage in the refrigerator/freezer so they wouldn't spoil before exploring Girdwood. When we expressed a concern about the bedrooms not having darkening curtains, she went to Anchorage (yet again!) to get them and have them installed in the bedrooms while we were out exploring. Makiko goes above and beyond to ensure that your stay is pleasant and perfectly tailored to your needs. Finally, I would like to add that we rented both units and were so happy with the setup for our family and the other family who stayed in the other unit. This is a perfect place for two families to rent.
PS- If you have a soccer fan in your family, there is a soccer field RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE so be sure to bring your soccer ball!!

Girdwood Glacier Creek Lodge
We are a group of family and friends looking for a spot between Anchorage and Seward. This was perfect for the 12 of us..enough beds for all, hot tub and sauna after a long day of hiking, biking, fishing and paddling. Place was very clean, well-equipped. We'd definitely recommend.

PERFECT PLACE
this was the perfect place for the gathering of multiple couples. the two properties connected by the breezeway, hot tub, and sauna was an amazing getaway for all! it allowed us to join together and have our own space simultaneously! the accommodations were clean and comfortable and cozy. directions and instructions allowed for ease of equipment and amenities. close and convenient to all that's offered in girdwood. (the only reason this isn't a 6****** star is due to the inconvenience and lack of more bathrooms, and the dated ovens/ranges...which resulted in a prime rib early eat! nothing we couldn't deal with or handle. just something for the owners to consider for future upgrades.) that being said, the owner was available via email/text and quick to respond when there was a question or a need. deposit was refunded quickly! we will book again no doubt about it! thanks for a perfect ring into the new year of 2019!!!

Beautiful setting with great views all around!
Great space for a big family gathering for the holidays. The two separate units let everyone have their space. The connecting hot tub and sauna room with skylights were a real treat. We’d definitely stay here again if we have a big group.

Beautiful place - just a little short on bathrooms
A group of 8 of us stayed at the combined properties and we found it to be excellent. Clean, spacious, well stocked, and amazing location. The only issue I would have with this great property is that there are only two showers and 3 toilets between the two places so if you have a lot of people I could see this getting tight but manageable. Otherwise we were blown away by this amazing property!

Glacier Creek House
We loved the house, it was great location for our stay. Everyone really loved the creek. We only wished the weather had been a little nicer. The beds we're great, only issue was the stairs, a couple of us had bad knees, but we were able to manage quite well. Definitely would stay there again. Thanks for the wine. Griffin Family

Awesome spot. Huge. Hot tub & sauna. Very close to Mt. Alyeska.
House is very big. Rented both sides. Snowboarding was very fun. Went on the last weekend of February. It snowed all three days we were there. Prob 15"+ accumulated. Last day had 8+ inches of fresh powder. My first mountain and first fresh powder(7").

Beautiful, comfortable house and great location!
The home is beautiful and relaxing. The home is exceptionally maintained and the amenities definitely 5 Stars! I highly recommend staying here as I felt relaxed and recharged! We also enjoyed the seasonal Japanese Dinner at Glacier Creek Lodge! An exquisite work of cuisine art! And the location is gorgeous! We will visit this location again and again!

Had a wonderful wedding/new years weekend here
My family and I rented both units for new years weekend. When we arrived the units were both exceptionally clean and organized. There were plenty of blankets towels and beds for our stay. And there were even some very useful spices, teas, and kitchenware.
Being able to walk up to the day lodge in less than 10 minutes was a huge help on such an incredibly busy weekend.

Wonderful Bed & Dinner Experience
We had a memorable stay at your lodge. It was comfortable, clean and is located in a spectacular place. The dinner was absolutely wonderful. Preparation, presentation, freshness and value best describes the wonderful meal that was served for us. I highly recommend the Glacier Creek Lodge!

Wonderful food
家族で利用させていただきました。
近くには朝食を楽しめるレストランもあり、散歩にでると美しい景色を楽しむことができます。
家の中も清潔で、快適に過ごすことができました。
ジャグジーに入って身体を温めることができたのは、夏でも寒さを感じるアラスカでは本当に嬉しいことでした。
夕食の日本食は大変美味しく、ボリュームもしっかりあります。日本食に慣れている方はホッとすることができ、慣れていない方でも日本食を楽しんでもらえるいい機会にもなるとも思いました。
ホストの方も素敵な方です。
本当にありがとうございました。また利用させていただきたいと思います。

Overall a good rental home. Owner is pleasant. The thermostat didn't work and no one was available to fix. They need a BBQ and a deck with fire pit and this would be a 5 star
