Home away from home

We enjoyed our stay at the condo near the Alyeska ski resort. We came in early May and the home was like a home away from home… Welcoming, comforting! We loved thus place and would consider renting it in the future.

Property was lovely, a very relaxing home base for our adventures. Listing incorrectly mentioned a hot tub, but host contacted us to correct this with enough time to allow cancellation. Lock code sent via Vrbo was wrong but host was available (after midnight!) by phone to help. Host was very friendly and helpful. Overall very enjoyable experience.

Great home away from home

My friend and I stayed here for 4 nights to ski and heli ski in Alaska. The location is perfect to access Alyeska resort, local restaurants, and trails. The home is clean and well labeled and stocked with towels and essentials. The hot tub and sauna were perfect after a day outdoors. Communication with Makiko was smooth and seamless.

The house is lovely and the sound of the creek was relaxing and made it feel very private. We reached out to the host shortly after arriving to report an issue and she was responsive and took care of it right away, which we appreciated. Great location within walking distance of Jack Sprat, The Bake Shop, and La Bodega.

Perfect home base for exploring the area.

We were in Girdwood for a wedding and stayed for a week as we explored the area. Great central location for day trips to Cooper Landing, Whittier, and Anchorage in addition to the great hikes and activities right in the neighborhood of this VRBO. Makiko was great to work with, the rental was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Loved having the hot tub after full days of hiking and adventuring! A great stay!

Great rental

Our visit to Girdwood was great! We enjoyed the location of the duplex for trips to Anchorage, Whittier, Coopers Landing as well as a 4-hr. drive to Denali. The living space was very comfortable for our family of four. We especially loved the hottub and the sound of the creek outside! It was well-equipped with all necessities in bedrooms, kitchen and bath. My only concern was the lack of drapery in the shower room. We would definitely rent again!

Great Proximity to Alyeska

My friends and I had a great time on our trip. We enjoyed being able to walk to the lifts each day and getting in the hot tub after a long day of skiing. A second bathroom would have been nice, but other than that we had plenty of room to stretch out.

Best Host Communication EVER!

We rent condos several times per year. The host, Makiko, was one of the most attentive we have EVER had. The property itself has a very unique flow, and a LOT more space than we were expecting. Appreciate everything Makiko! Wonderful ski getaway! -Rich

Christmas Retreat

This was the perfect place to stay with the family! Beautiful and comfortable, the hot tub was amazing. Can’t beat the location of the condo, right at the base of the mountain! We will definitely try to rent this home again.
