Darren and Sarah Mattingley, two life long Alaskans who live in the beautiful resort town of Girdwood with their children and many pets. We like to collect unique properties and transform them into works of art.
Sarah Faulkner-Mattingley purchased this house in 2013
This property was originally built as a small cabin in the late 1960's and was remodeled and added on to in 1985. When we purchased it in 2014 we saw great potential for this property and loved the custom work that was done several years back so we continued on with the rustic theme and added another wing with an additional bedroom while updating the existing structure.
Girdwood is a small valley with limited land where the average lot size is about a quarter acre. This home is situated on a larger than average lot but what attracted us to this property was the treed lot and overall charm of the home.
We had a great stay. We have young kids and they did great in the space. Although not baby proof, with a few simple changes our kids were very safe. The adults all loved the space. Very clean and updated property. Hot tub a huge plus. Read other reviews on layout of home. Worked great for our group. We would definitely stay there again and recommend to friends.
Conveniently located within walking distance of Resort, shopping and restaurants, nice quiet neighborhood, beautiful home that lets in plenty of light and views of the forest and imposing mountains. Conveniently located for all that Girdwood has to offer, as well as excursions into the Kenai peninsula. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
I rented this house over spring break to stay with my kids and some friends. It is a beautiful, well-crafted home in a great location in Girdwood, close to the ski resort.Coordinating and setting up the rental was very easy.The owners were super responsive.
It was mildly stressful staying there with kids only because there is quite a bit of nice finishes and trims etc and trying to keep the kids from breaking or damaging something required constant supervision. ( maybe that says something more about the three and five-year-old who were with us) But probably this place is better suited to adults or older kids at least.
We stayed at this house for a family gathering in hopes of skiing. Although we had unseasonable rain (January), we had a great time anyway spending time together in this beautiful place. It is on the smaller side for a bigger group, but the creative and beautiful touches the owners have made to this house made being cozy fun. The bathroom downstairs is beautiful, and the master bedroom is truly like being in a treehouse all by yourself. The hot tub sunken into the deck added to our relaxation and had we been able to ski, the mountain is very close. As always, a visit to Double Musky is on our itinerary anytime we're in Girdwood; and it never disappoints. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and found Sarah to be an accommodating and gracious host; and would stay again.
Home owner was really friendly and organized. Great communication before, during and after our trip. House was really well furnished and everything worked well. We instantly felt at home and relaxed. Thank you. Will recommend to others. Sincerely - The Heaters
Great place, well kept and close to the Alyeska Resort. A+
