Four adults stayed very comfortably in the unit and we had everything needed for a great stay! A great place to stay to experience the surrounding areas of Anchorage to Seward to Whittier to Palmer. Loved Virgin Falls!

Amazing Time in Girdwood

We really enjoyed our stay at this property! Communication with the hosts was easy. The house was clean & comfortable; we had everything we needed and it really felt like home away from home. I highly recommend this property & have great respect for the hosts. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

Would love to come back again

This house is roomy, with plenty of distance between rooms. We loved the spacious outside deck as well. It's well-located and just off the main road. We just walked across the road to Girdwood Brewing Company! We'd love to stay again someday.

Drift to lift

Was a bit too rustic for me! was clean, just not very updated and no supplies as listed. Screens on window absent, buggy, noisy with highway right next to property. Too expensive for what was offered. checked out day early, not even a credit. No paperwork inside as to what instructions for property, was coin operated laundry outside of living area, no soap no coins. internet was spotty and sorry my email wasn't too accesible to look up the vrbo site.

I'm sorry we didn't meet your expectations, Jennifer. We have 13 new windows scheduled to be installed for the property and they come with screens so this will be taken care of soon. I asked the cleaner about the supplies, soap, etc.. and she sent me pictures of all the items there. We send out details for the property with your lock box code. You were able to get in so you must have received that information so there should not have been a need for you to log onto the VRBO site for property information.

Nice place with limited amenities

The place was clean and took care of basic needs. Linens were clean, and beds were comfortable. The listing gave the impression there was gold panning nearby or on the property, though that wasn’t the case. Also, it clearly used to be a multi-group property that got converted, but the signage and policies haven’t really been updated. Laundry on the facility wasn’t maintained well and cost additional money on top of the already high price tag of the place. The property manager was very responsive, and I appreciated her prompt responses.

The Michigan 7

Communication with host was clear and concise. This is a pretty typical bungalow with lots of years of usage , ok it has character. We felt the overall experience was good and wouldn’t be afraid to book again.

Great Location and Accomodations

The location was great to Alyeska, The Sitz and Jack Spratt. The rooms were much larger than the pictures show and the entire unit was clean and spacious. The surrounding mountain views on the balcony were also a great addition and communication with property team was awesome, very quick to respond. Would love to stay again!
