Great Girdwood Getaway
Great quirky spot tucked into the woods in Girdwood. House easily accommodated our group of 6 including kids. Lots of room to hang out and appreciated the kitchen well stocked with pots/pans and spices. Great location with easy access to Virgin Creek Falls and the day lodge. Oven worked well as did the hot tub!

Family with adult/teen kids
There were 6 adults and one 16 year old staying at the property. The facilities were perfect for our group. The hot tub was just what was needed at the end of a long, cold day. Girdwood area is beautiful and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Great location. Next time we go, I'm going to check the opening of the ski resort just minutes away from the rental. It wasn't open when we were in Alaska. It opened days after we left to come home. Beautiful state and location. Definitely recommend to others.

This is a gorgeous and unique property. It was generally comfortable and was really clean. We wished the beds and pillows were less cheap/more comfortable given the price of the stay.

Great base to ski at Alyeska
This home was perfect for a ski week. Very short drive to the resort and the town of Girdwood, and there was plenty of space for our group of 8. Well stocked kitchen. Disappointed that the hot tub was broken but they did let us know well in advance.

Beautiful Chalet Stay
Excellent stay in Girdwood. Beautiful chalet in beautiful setting! Well stocked kitchen for cooking, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms. Would recommend for families & friend groups. Property photos & listing were accurate. Bonus for us was walkability to beautiful waterfall hike within neighborhood. Also convenient to downtown Girdwood, Aleska Resort, and many activities.

Worst Vacation Rental Ever
1-Electrical outlets in upstairs bedroom were failing and needed replaced. Which had to completed during out stay.2-Hot Tub was so disgusting upon arrival that management had to be called for maintenance and cleaning. 3-Beercans were left in Hot Tub area.4-Lighting in main living area constantly flickers.5-Upstairs bathroom outlets worked intermittently. 6-Burners on stove did not work properly.7-Entrtway heater didn't work.8-3rd floor bathroom heater didn't work.9-Dryer door doesn't stay closed. Impossible to do laundry.10-Downstairs bedroom across from entry-way smells like black-mold. I would never put children in this bedroom.11- Garbage left underneath bunkbeds.12-Old articles of clothing left underneath bedroom across from entryway.13-Disgusting used clothing in the hot tub area. 14-Old clothing underneath beds in bedroom adjacent to downstairs bathroom.The rental management was responsive atleast. They gave us a whole 5% off on our rental. The homeowner needs to approve lots of updates, and also let people know that this is a VERY dated home with issues. Never again, put some money into your investment.

Fabulous Hide A Way in the Woods!
This place was tucked away in the woods but still close enough to everything! Lots of stairs but that’s ok! It helped after all the eating we did. The glass room was super cool. If I wasn’t on the porch drinking my coffee, I was in the glass/sunroom. The place was equipped with everything you need. Fabulous place to stay!

Nice place, but needs lot of work
The house and location were great. This is a really nice space. Beautiful spot too. The house is suffering from a lack of maintenance though. The oven didn’t work, hot tub would only work on full hot, dishwasher didn’t work, most blinds in the house didn’t work, etc.

Christmas getaway
We had the pleasure of staying over the weekend for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day! Really enjoyed the space this place provided to get the family together for the holidays. We all really loved the beautiful table and the sun room in the kitchen is a great feature to the house. Vacasa was fast at getting back to me about any questions and overall didn’t have any complaints about this stay. Thank you!
