Amazing cabin close to lifts, brewery, dining, hiking and biking.
You will love this quiet cabin surrounded by mature hemlock and spruce trees. Itâs a great base to explore all that this part of Alaska has to offer. Only 1/2 mile to Alyeska ski resort. Tons of hiking and biking nearby. A short drive will take you to Anchorage, Turnagain Arm, Whittier, or Portage Glacier. Seward is close enough for a day trip for a fishing charter, a wildlife cruise, or a hike at Exit Glacier. After each dayâs adventures, come home to this warm and inviting space. Hop into the steam shower to help you unwind, or pour a glass of wine to enjoy in the sunroom. On warmer days, open all the windows and from any room you can enjoy the pleasant babbling from the small creek that runs through the property. Our young boys have spent hours playing in the creek during the summer months â your kids or grandkids will too. On colder days, the furnace will keep the cabin warm, but nothing compares to the all embracing warmth of a wood stove.
The cabin was great and about .5 miles from the ski resort. Plenty of room for our group and great place near the front door to store wet boots and snowboard gear. Two boot/glove dryers got a lot of use. The wood fireplace provided additional heat after playing in the snow all day.
Perfect! It was a great house that me and 2 friends stayed at and we each had bedrooms and bathrooms on our own floors. It was a pretty good "central" location or homebase as we spent a day on the water in Seward and then drove out to Hatcher Pass another day. Hosts were great and communicated via app with clear checkin/out instructions
This is a beautiful house in a wooded, peaceful neighborhood of Girdwood. The house has a deck with views and sounds of the nearby stream. The house was well stocked with all the essentials and more that were needed for our ten day stay. Highly recommended.
A group of us girls that work at the hospital stayed here as a weekend getaway. The location was great, the layout was perfect for the number of ladies we had and we felt very safe and secure. The only thing I would comment on is that the dumpster was full from prior stays which made it difficult to place our garbage in there while cleaning up, but overall it was a great experience!
The home is a three bedroom, but sleeps ten people comfortably. It is well stocked and well maintained. Close to many hiking trails and kayaking in Prince William Sound My only negative would be that the oven needed cleaning, but it did not bother us since we didn't use it. Communication with the owner was easy and helpful. A bonus if you go in August is that the backyard is full of blueberries. I would definitely would come back to stay at the house again.
Great place, loved all the extras. Nice that each living space/ bedrooms had bathrooms. Kitchen had so much, nice to have options. Only thing that we would change is the bed comforters more updated. And maybe some wine glasses. đ host very responsive. The kitchen table / bench was our favorite hang out. Loved the boot drying set up in ski/snowboard area. Lots of nice little touches that made it feel homey. Perfect place for our little stay. Would do it again!
We spent Thanksgiving time here with our family. There were six adults and 2 teens. We went out for Thanksgiving dinner but did cook other meals at the house. This home is nice with three levels and a bedroom on each level. We had trouble with the dish washer and the owner texted us right away and we fixed the problem. It was a very peaceful time here . Some of the family went cross country skiing. We used the wool stove which made it quite cozy. We enjoyed our stay here.
This is a well-kept house situated right in Girdwood near the ski area, plenty of restaurants and trails. The house was very comfortable and had plenty of room for our family, in fact 2 families with kids could easily fit. There are tree views out of most of the windows which feels cozy and cabin-like.
There is no shower in the master bath upstairs but there is a sauna shower on the main floor. Our only downer was that there was a list of chores to complete before checkout (place towels in washer and start a load, make sure fireplace is swept clean, etc, etc). Not a big deal but we already felt the cleaning fee was high and anything extra can be tough when you are trying to get kids packed and out the door.
This was a great place to stay. Very clean and comfortable.
This was my first time staying at a VRBO so I had a few questions at different times and owners were quick to respond in a timely manor. Loved the creek right in front of the property. It is a little small, but it was exactly as advertised.
Our family traveled from all over the US to meet in Alaska for our parent's 60th anniversary. They loved the home and chose the main level bedroom with adjacent full bath & steam shower (which they said made them feel pampered). This was one of 3 homes we rented & my husband & I stayed here as well on the upper level with other family members coming and going and some staying at various times in the bunk room on the lower level.
Great location with easy access to the cute town of Girdwood with it's cute shops and The Grind coffee shop which we frequented. It's easy enough to walk to and takes about 10-15 minutes to do so. You can also chose a longer walk up to the Alyeska resort where there are more gorgeous views and another coffee shop (do you see a theme here? ;-).
This place had everything we needed, super responsive hosts and the most peaceful setting with a bubbling brook right right alongside. We spent quite a bit of time just sitting on the deck enjoying that sound and the forest that snugged right up to the house.
There were lots of items left by other guests (and perhaps some by the hosts) such as spices, honey, tea, etc. You may want to check the supply before you decide to buy anything of a non-perishable nature as it may already be there.
Crow Creek Mercantile is a quaint general store in Girdwood where you can surprisingly get a lot of items that I hadn't anticipated finding. My Dad's favorite Oregon Chai mix for example.
We'd definitely stay here again and are already talking about our next trip.
Good location, walkable to resort and downtown. Lovely lot with a creek running through it. Home had everything you'll need, but a bit dated and could use a good cleaning. Steam shower was nice.
