The home is beautiful and in a great neighborhood! You can walk down into Girdwood if you’d like. We used this home as a base for a few days and it worked out perfectly. Girdwood itself has some great food and cute bars. If you can snag a stay at this home during the forest festival, I highly recommend. Parking is at a premium during the festival, but everything is very walkable from this home.

Lovely home. Our family was very comfortable and the weather was good enough for morning hikes. Appliances all worked. The views were majestic from most rooms. Proximity to small shops was almost walkable. Even our little grandbabies loved the master tub in the evenings. Very warm and inviting environment. Having laundry on the second floor was a bonus!

Amazing spot for a ski trip

Fantastic accommodation with comfortable beds, very functional kitchen, mud room for ski gear, and quick drive to the mountain. The whole group loved our stay. Girdwood is also a badass town if you’ve never been!

Quiet, peaceful and very comfortable

Our family likes to get together every couple years. This place was perfect for us (8 origional, but only 6 could make it) to have 3 nights together. This is a very well built and beautiful place. The bedrooms are really quiet and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked for coming, and the house has a great view of the ski slopes! I'd use this place again if it's still available.

Amazing accommodations & view!

My family and I stayed at the property for a week for my wedding at Alyeska Resort. Hosts were great with communication and very thorough in their house instructions and tips for things to do in the area. The location is great, with the main area of Girdwood no more than 10 minutes away, and easy access to the highway. The house is very spacious and was the perfect home base for our day trips in Alaska.

Great gathering space.

We found this rental to be perfect for a small group of friends meeting for the weekend. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stalked and a fun place for us to cook together, the livingroom/kitchen was very inviting. The pool table also a great asset, thanks for the fun. The only reason I took a star off for location was we found it a little too far to walk to the ski hill or restaurants in the "town center", others might not find it too far at all. This is the second time wwe have rented this home and would do so again.

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting

This home is beautiful, clean and nicely furnished. The kitchen had all the essentials to fix a family meal. Beds were comfortable with nice linens. We enjoyed the pool table and the hot tub. The owner's orientation to the house was thorough, as is the book of instructions. This orientation and the house rules keep this property nice for guests and owners. We hope to rent again in the future.

beautiful house in a beautiful setting

We came to Girdwood on a family vacation. The house was beautiful, most notably the kitchen which was well stocked and super nice. The pool table was a hit. The view from the main room was amazing. The beds were too soft for our family's liking, and there was no bath soap or shampoo/conditioner provided which is the only reason I take away a star- this is a 4 1/2 star property. The property manager is so great- she was available to answer any questions about the town, very very helpful!

Great mountain getaway in Girdwoodo

The house was in a very safe and scenic area. Shawn, the owner, took time to explain a bunch of things about the house and the area in general. The house was very spacious and perfect for our group of 7, and the pool table was a huge hit! One note, the oven/burners are a bit "off" (oven gets super hot and a few burners don't work) but he told me about it ahead of time and that he would be replacing soon anyways....so no biggie at all and we were able to make it work for our needs. The views out the windows are unbelievable and the location can't be beat- so close to all the hiking and biking you could want. Plus, easy drives to Seward, Whittier, etc. for other adventures. All in all a great spot!

Fun place with a beautiful view

This place was just right for our large family vacation. The pool table was super fun. When I looked at the place, there was a picture of the view out the great room window, and it showed a trampoline, which was something I thought was also something we had access to, however, it must have been the neighbors. (Not a big deal.) The linens were nice, the kitchen was wonderful, everything in the house was super clean except the oven. (Not a big deal.) The one thing that wasn't quite right was the lack of hand towels in a couple of the bathrooms, and there was no laundry access,

Large home good location short on amenities.

This is a good home for a large group. We had 9 for a wedding. Very nice living area with fireplace and pool table. However, home was short on amenities. No soap for showers ,very limited hangers, no extra pillows or blankets and lots of rules. Only way to get streaming on the tv was with physically connecting our iPad . We reached out to the owners re additional pillows and Hangers were told they were locked up but no response other than that. We stayed in 3 homes during our Alaska visit, with this one having the least amenities. My son left his laundry in the dryer and the owner was nice enough to gather and placed those in the home where we could retrieve them. Overall good clean home for large group with a good location.

We have lived in Alaska for the past 29 years and fell in love with Girdwood the very first time we visited this beautiful, scenic town many years ago. We lived in Germany for 3 years and Girdwood brings back wonderful memories of southern Germany. Spending time in Girdwood is a great way to renew our love of the mountains and we thoroughly enjoy hiking and fishing in the summer and skiing in the winter. We love our home in Girdwood so much and hope you will enjoy it too!

We instantly fell in love with this scenic town of 2,000 people on the edge of the Chugach Mountains with its spectacular outdoor activity options including hiking, skiing, fishing, and more.

What makes this property unique

Whether you like to hike in the summer or ski in the winter or simply relax in a small mountain town, our home in Girdwood will surely enhance your visit!
