The bathrooms were very nice. The beds could have been more comfortable. The two queen beds in one room were strange and would be better to have a separate sleeping area downstairs. The grill and kitchen were also very nice as well as the location.

Girdwood three day stay

Nice place on outskirts of town, towel holders in upper bathroom were falling off the wall, bed was comfortable, really nice to have the barbecue on the deck to use, quiet neighborhood, only downside was your close to turnagain arm and the train blowing its whistle woke me up unexpectedly.

Good for a short stay

This well loved cabin was great for the few nights we used it as a base to hike and explore the area. It is a bare-bones cabin - the two beds are located upstairs in the same room, which was hard to tell from the pictures. The kitchen had very minimal cooking gadgets and it would have been nice to have some coffee or cooking oil in the pantry. I could not locate a fan or hair dryer to help dry our wet socks after hiking. The house is dog friendly, and although we didn't have pets with us the carpet smelled like dog. It was a good spot for a quick stay, but I think could use some attention.

Miss representation

The posting is inaccurate. It states a 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom laudry on site. There was only 1 bedroom with 2 beds in it. The other bedroom was padlocked so we could not enter. There was no laundry. The furnishings and decor are very dated. The beds sagged and were uncomfortable. Definitely would not recommend.

The location was decent for the plans we had, but that was it. The property itself is very sub-par (at best) except for the newly renovated downstairs bathroom. The dishes were still in the dishwasher from the previous guests which were full of mold/mildew. The pots & pans were not washed well before being placed in the cabinet that was filled with what looked to be animal droppings. The furniture has been torn up by animals as well as the window sills & carpet throughout the house. The upstairs loft area is what they call a bedroom which is wide open to with 2 queen beds which are wide open to the stairwell. The other upstairs bedroom is locked off with a makeshift door with a padlock & looks like someone else stays there at the same time. The living area windows looked like a toddler had made finger art on them with sticky candy or peanut butter. The property management was contacted as soon as we arrived because there were windows open in the living room & kitchen. We were told "well, if they're not stuck open, just close them. It must have been housekeeping." The heater did not work & took us two days to get it working on our own. I was told that a "local rep" would contact me within the hour. After 2 hours, I replied to the text I was sent from the initial call like I was prompted & was told that "due to it being 'late' (6pm) I would receive a call first thing the following morning." There was no further contact from anyone. I would NOT recommend this place at all.
Filthy windows
Cabinets full of nasty dirt & old food.
Cabinets looked to have animal droppings.

Off the beaten path and yet close to so much.

We really laid back at this house it was very comfortable and we actually watched TV for the first time on vacation. Great location, very clean and we had everything we needed. Wish I would have had time to enjoy the tub.

Good not great

Low quality pillows, only 2 per bed (1 per person if you're sleeping 2 people). No washer or dryer access, super small TV that is not a smart TV. The sink upstairs was clogged the whole time and I couldn't get the manager on the phone or to respond to email. The patio was great we enjoyed it every morning. Tons of parking even though we only had 1 car. I would not re-book this place.

V. well equipped. Household supplies - dish soaps, hand soaps, initial coffee, full BBQ tank, etc. - provided. Girdwood train depot in easy walking distance and because of GVT shuttle routing, shuttle on request, can pick-up at location. Jetted-tub is indoors, not an outdoor hot tub, and was not used during our summer visit. Bed arrangements mean there are no closed-door bedrooms. While much more spacious, bed arrangements are akin to a two double-bed hotel room vs a two-bedroom chalet from a privacy perspective. Property is optimal for a single couple or family of 4-5 with vehicle. V. highly recommend this property. If we return to Girdwood, we would seek to book this property.

Girdwood: 10/10 would visit again.

Perfect place to stay while in Girdwood! This location would be great for either summer or winter travel. Place is packed with all the amenities and perfectly situated in the pines of Girdwood. We enjoyed the balcony with its generous views and felt like we had all the creature comforts of home. Will definitely keep an eye out for this chalet when we venture back to Alaska.
