Great Girdwood Getaway

Great quirky spot tucked into the woods in Girdwood. House easily accommodated our group of 6 including kids. Lots of room to hang out and appreciated the kitchen well stocked with pots/pans and spices. Great location with easy access to Virgin Creek Falls and the day lodge. Oven worked well as did the hot tub!

Worst property we have rented ever!!!

The house is not suitable for 8 people as said in the listing. The house was very unclean, dog hair everywhere, The yard was overgrown, Outside of the house had mold. It is a very old property. The Kitchen is barely usable. The furniture, utensile, dishes, even coffee cups kept in the house where every run down. Seemed like they pulled all used very old stuff from many different places and furnished this house. Terrible experience

Beautiful authentic " Cabin in the woods"

It's nestled in the forest at the base of the mountain and ski lift. 3 floors and really really Cool. It's a big relief to walk into a property and know that it's clean! We didn't have to re wash dishes or cook ware. If I ever make it back to Girdwood AK, this is where I will stay.

Great Girdwood Property

The property was spacious, clean and neat. Perfect place for a ski trip with close access to the mountain. Love the beautiful mossy trees surrounding the property, and the Hot Tub was perfect for relaxing after a long ski day!

Worst Vacation Rental Ever

1-Electrical outlets in upstairs bedroom were failing and needed replaced. Which had to completed during out stay.2-Hot Tub was so disgusting upon arrival that management had to be called for maintenance and cleaning. 3-Beercans were left in Hot Tub area.4-Lighting in main living area constantly flickers.5-Upstairs bathroom outlets worked intermittently. 6-Burners on stove did not work properly.7-Entrtway heater didn't work.8-3rd floor bathroom heater didn't work.9-Dryer door doesn't stay closed. Impossible to do laundry.10-Downstairs bedroom across from entry-way smells like black-mold. I would never put children in this bedroom.11- Garbage left underneath bunkbeds.12-Old articles of clothing left underneath bedroom across from entryway.13-Disgusting used clothing in the hot tub area. 14-Old clothing underneath beds in bedroom adjacent to downstairs bathroom.The rental management was responsive atleast. They gave us a whole 5% off on our rental. The homeowner needs to approve lots of updates, and also let people know that this is a VERY dated home with issues. Never again, put some money into your investment.

Family with adult/teen kids

There were 6 adults and one 16 year old staying at the property. The facilities were perfect for our group. The hot tub was just what was needed at the end of a long, cold day. Girdwood area is beautiful and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Great location. Next time we go, I'm going to check the opening of the ski resort just minutes away from the rental. It wasn't open when we were in Alaska. It opened days after we left to come home. Beautiful state and location. Definitely recommend to others.
