The property is located across the street from the Double Musky so it was perfect for dinner and a weekend escape. We both commented on how great the bedding smelled.

Easy place to stay in Girdwood

The Carriage House has a couple of properties to rent, and Tecumseh's Cozy Stall was indeed cozy. The king bed is super comfy, and the fluffy towels made the show a delight. It is an easy walk on a path into the small town, and across the street from the well loved Double Musky.

Woodworkers dream

My wife and I stayed one night and as a hobby wood worker I can't say enough about what a pleasure it was to stay at Carriage House. The timber frame structure was beautiful, the custom cabinets and trim were impeccable, and the gazebo that housed the hot tub has to been seen to be appreciated. Ladies, if your man likes to work with wood this is a place they've got to see.

Perfect little getaway in Girdwood

This was an excellent choice for my husband and I to stay during our vacation to Alaska. The place was clean. The owners were very accommodating. The hot tub was an added bonus. Two thumbs up for The Double Musky restaurant across the street. Couldn't ask for anything more. Just perfect!!!

Thank you! The Carriage House Chalet Units are nestled in the trees and 2 acres along California Creek. Built by your host and master craftsman Jake Thompson, these cottages will warm you, not just from the radiant heat in the floors, but with rustic elegance and dream beds with superior linens.

Great property

Stayed here for a quick overnight getaway with my husband. Super clean, comfortable, and in a nice location. My only complaint is I reached out to the property owner on two occasions, once by email and once by text message, and never heard back from her. Other than that it was an absolutely wonderful stay. The woodworking is gorgeous. Super cozy and delightful.

Nice property, limitations on hottub use

The property was nice with all the basic necessities. Everything was clean and felt brand-new. We did have a problem with the use of the hottub, which was actually one of the main reasons we selected this property. First of all, it "closes" at 10pm, OK. Prior to our arrival we asked the owner about the hottub, voicing our intent to use it. However, when we got back from dinner at 9:30pm the lights around the hottub were turned off. It was very dark outside with no street lights or anything to illuminate the pathway. We called and texted the owner asking to turn the lights back on, but didn't hear back from them until the next morning. We went ahead and used the hottub anyway, but at a cost of stumbling on objects to get to it. It felt like the use of the hottub was discouraged, which is unfortunate given that it is displayed as the property's main picture.

Were glad you found Carriage House Accommodations new units well equipped. However we are sorry that the hot tub closure at 10pm was an inconvenience, this time is for the comfort of all guests. The lights are on a timer, and with the daylight savings time change they went off an hour earlier from where they should have gone off...our apologies. The hot tub is a beautiful and soothing amenity that we want all guests to enjoy responsibly, not discourage the use of.

Perfect getaway for a couple

We had a great experience staying at the Carriage House. I highly recommend the Double Musky, though all of the restaurants in Girdwood were excellent. If you want to go hiking and spot moose, just keep driving north on Crow Creek Road. There are many trails that branch off of the road. I would recommend getting a moose horn, bear spray if you want to hike, we also saw mountain lion tracks.. We saw moose cross the road as we were driving, drive with caution.

Weekend getaway

I wasn’t sure what to expect as we haven’t stayed there before, but the craftsmanship of the woodwork in the cabin is beautiful!!! The room was cozy, clean, and had everything you needed to cook meals. My husband use the hot tub and then quickly decided that we needed one at home! So needless to say that was an added bonus.. we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.
