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.
