Cabin is cozy but very well used. It was as pictured but pretty dirty and in need of maintenance and updating. We struggled to find outlets that worked and there were lamps placed in locations without power available. We also could not figure out how to control the heat. No thermostat's were present, knobs on baseboards were turned all the way down but heaters continued heating and home was quite warm.

Great home in a great location

Stayed in this cute home so we could ski at Aleyska. It's an easy 12-minute walk to the slopes, which was fantastic. The home is well-stocked with everything you need and there's plenty of space for everyone. Very cozy. We docked stars only for cleanliness, because the rugs in the living room and bathrooms were fairly dirty. Other than that, our stay was great!

Terrible property

There was NO HEAT. It’s mid-May, still in the 40’s, and there was no central heat, the living room fireplace did not work, and there was only one tiny space heater. The hot tub and garbage disposal did not work. The overall maintenance on the property was bad, it needs work. Horrible experience all the way around.

ok

The place was not very clean, the carpets in the bedrooms were dirty, we found socks and trash behind the tv upstairs and the side table. The upstairs bathroom has ridiculous amounts of dust on the wall and in the corners. The hot tub was dirty and not functional (already received a credit due to not being able to use it ) The tv remote batteries were dead and we had to swap them with another remote that had the batteries chewed on. Some of the dishes were dirty when trying to cook. No wifi, not enough trash bags for the stay and the dumpster was full and unusable when we tried to take the trash out so we had to leave it in the house. The grass around the property is not maintained either. The place has alot of charm for someone who is used to living in Florida, but that is about all it had going for it.

Loved the rustic, homey warmth of the property. We were here for a wedding at the resort but wanted family time in a quieter setting. Convenient location. Beautiful scenery. We had a great time.

Great location older ski chalet

Overall met our needs. Happy surprise to have three bedrooms but one has totally open upper ceilings so room noise level is high. Hot tub was nice and location is great. Kitchen could use more mixing bowels and cook wear but overall met our needs. Needs updating and TLC but overall good for family with dogs:)

Vail Chalet Girdwood Alaska

Not much to love. Filthy dirty. Had to wash rugs and bedding before using. We were there 4 nights and were given one towel per person for the whole stay. Not a great way to start out vacation. There was internet when we first got there and then shut it off for some reason. Will not recommend to anyone.

Needs up keep

Grill was solid mold, kitchen oven had mold and was very dirty. So did not feel like we could cook anything there. Floor in downstairs bathroom was vinyl and laundry he are in doorway was all ripped up. Fireplace in bedroom didn’t work and no heat in downstairs bathroom. Holes in doors.

Review April 2023

Our stay was cut short due to no hot water, home was fairly clean but needs some deep cleaning (mopped floors, dusting/cob webs, surfaces washed). A deep cleaning would hopefully help the smell of “older home” go away too. Bedding needs updating too; has holes in both bed linens upstairs. Good points; large enough to have a family visit with space for everyone; view was beautiful; location is fantastic!

Lovely stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was close to several excellent restaurants and activities. We would make a couple suggestions. One being offering outside seating on the deck to enjoy an evening cocktail. The other would be a hair dryer. We could not find one. Perhaps it was stored somewhere else we didn’t look. All in all we enjoyed your home very much.

Nice chalet for long ski weekend

Chalet is comfortable and spacious, and it was a short walk to the ski hill and brewery. Kitchen is dated but functional. Hot tub was great! Gas grill was promised but not present, and customer service was unresponsive. Somewhat kid friendly but gas fireplace in main is definitely a hazard. Recommend a baby fence of some sort for infants or young toddlers.

Nice place but needs a little work

Toilets didn’t work the best. The stove was really dirty but the hot tub was nice and clean. The beds old and noisy if you moved in them. The fireplace in the bedroom didn’t work and the listing needs to be updated to say gas fireplace only. A boot dryer would be a nice addition for winter activities.

Great Place to Stay - some updates needed

A place we would go back to with a few updates. The Good: great location, quiet, clean, lovely place. The Challenge: The refrigerator wasn’t working well, a small fridge was there to augment the larger one. Our understanding is the new one is on order. The hot water didn’t work well (you got a 2-3 min warm shower). The staff worked to make it right but needed parts. The stove wasn’t consistent in heating. With a little investment this could be an A+++ place. The management company was responsive to the challenges and made it right. By no means did it ruin a great trip, so much opportunity!

Would not recommend

This property could be amazing but it is VERY tired and old. Every single bed had bedding with multiple holes. Flooring is ripped up in sections and the beds are very thin and not comfortable. Pillows were just gross, bring your own if you can. Kitchen was old but ok but all the pots and pans are old and rusty. The hot tub was nice and location was great. One of the two fireplaces wouldn’t work but worst was that we never got hot water the entire time we were there for a ski vacation. No one got to shower all weekend! Vacasa was responsive when texted but never actually sent anyone to fix it or do anything about it. A week later and they are still saying “someone will get back to us” but nothing was ever done. Until they can do many updates I would definitely give this a pass, especially for the cost.

Lots of potential

Location is awesome. Very peaceful, and the cabin is decent. The cabin was not cleaned very well prior to our arrival. We spent about 5 hours upon arrival cleaning the cabin, washing bedding, and remaking the beds. Vacasa was responsive to our concerns. Not many of the outlets in the cabin are great. Most of them are so loose the plug/charger falls out of the socket. A few of them sparked when we plugged in a lamp. The dishwasher is barely usable. The racks fall out when they’re pulled out to load/unload. The furniture is worn. I think another review described it as college dorm quality, and that is pretty spot on. Very worn and tired. The mattresses could be replaced. Overall, this place has a ton of potential. It doesn’t seem to be cared for or maintained to its potential though.
