My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. The heated floors in the living room was so appreciated with our single digit and minus temps after coming in from outside. . The view of the lights on the mountain from the back porch/hot tub area was amazing! And the hot tub was a pleasant 104. Perfect! Thank you!
Beautiful view from Hot tub and back area. Loved all the vegetation and eagles!!!Comfortable beds bathrooms may need updating; shower curtains a little gross. Would love to revisit in the snow!!!!

Girdwood Vacay
We enjoyed our stay at Iris Pond. The property is located close to several amenities in town. The hot tub was nice after long days of hiking. The kitchen had all the untensils/cookware we needed. Would definitely stay again.

This was a great house for my family of 6. We really enjoyed the location, views, and hot tub. We could easily walk to the main area of Girdwood. There was plenty of space for all of us to hang out in the living room area. Overall a great and easy stay.
Liked in floor heating Home was very clean. Kitchen was stocked with spices and well suppled with dishes and pots and pans. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of parking. Definitely would consider staying there again.

Private gem in Girdwood
I brought my family, 6 people total, to stay in Girdwood. It was the perfect location for day trips to Anchorage, Seward, Whittier. The home was private with a great view of Mount Alyeska. I would love to book this beautiful home again.
Our favorite of the trip. We felt at home. Beautiful view from front and back doors. Three moose came to greet us our first morning. We hope to return someday!

Lovely cabin home
This home is very nice, well kept, and clean. The kitchen is well stocked, as well as the other amenities. The backyard views of the mountain are nice, and the place is very quiet and peaceful. Hot tub is nice and well kept.

Perfect home away from home
We saw Moose in the yard !! Great views from the back porch. Very comfortable home. We had everything we needed to enjoy our Alaska stay. We used Girdwood as our home base. Convenient to all ! Downtown Girdwood has great places to eat. Awesome stay !
Location was good, 2 minutes to town, 4 minutes to ski area! Hot tub with a view of the slopes was awesome! The woodwork and craftsmanship of the home was fantastic! The place could probably use a fresh coat of paint and updated floor coverings where applicable, but otherwise it was great!!!
If you enjoy a vacation property that doesn’t provide a clean hot tub, has a rodent problem, and includes a property manager who doesn’t respond, you’re in luck, this rental is for you!When we arrived, the hot tub was in unusable condition. The water color and strong odor suggested it had not been properly maintained and did not appear sanitary or safe to use. We contacted the property manager to report the issue, but nothing was done during our stay to address or improve the condition of the hot tub.In addition, we encountered two dead mice in the property during our stay, which was concerning.While the craftsmanship and woodwork inside the unit are excellent, the maintenance issues and lack of response from the property manager outweighed those positives. If we return to the area, we would choose a different property.
