New rustic comtemporary custom chalet 1/2 mile from ski resort

My family and I stayed here in August 2018 and had an amazing time. The house is comfortable, lovely and had phenomenal views from the bedrooms and the main living area and deck - mountains, glaciers, woods. It's got everything you need to relax and cook (we cooked dinner every night) and feel at home. The decor is creative and artistic and the beds/couches are comfortable...and the views!

Sarah & Darren were extremely helpful and welcoming, and you can tell they care about their home and the comfort of their guests. Darren even showed us which berries (salmon berries, growing right by the front door and off the deck) are edible.

The deck is well constructed and we enjoyed sitting outside with coffee in the morning, enjoying the views and the fresh air. The hot tub is clean and new and private. We went for walks in the mornings & evenings and loved the neighborhood and the way you can can see trees and glaciers from every new street. We talked to a few neighbors and people walking dogs, and everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

We loved the "tree loft" bedroom with all the windows - it literally made me want to buy this house and stay in Alaska.

Overall we had a great stay, and would definitely recommend this home to others. I'd stay here again next time we come to Alaska (which hopefully will be soon!)

Other positives: Staying in Girdwood instead of Anchorage means a much shorter drive to places like Whittier and Seward. It also means that you have glaciers right in your backyard! It's so gorgeous and relaxing to rent a house instead of getting a hotel. If you're on the fence, definitely go for this house...you won't regret it.

Very lovely home with gorgeous natural light streaming in many windows. Could not have asked for a better place to stay and get ready for my wedding in. We saw moose and bear right off the front porch!

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.
