Troop 5 Alaska exploration before summer camp

This home was everything we hoped for and more! It was gorgeous, spotlessly clean, and had more than enough space for our group of 12. The kitchen and bathroom amenities were incredibly convenient and made our stay so comfortable. The neighborhood in Girdwood was peaceful and beautiful, just minutes from the resort, yet felt wonderfully private. The home truly exceeded our expectations and ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Exceptional !!!

This rental house goes far beyond a rental, it is truly a home away from home. I cannot think of anything that was not provided, everything in the VRBO description of the house is on point. This Alaska trip was a bucket list item for me and this house and Jackie the manager completely exceeded my expectations. Do not hesitate...CHOOSE THIS HOUSE!

Beautiful log home!

Fantastic place to stay to ski and play with family for the New Years holiday! Whole house is well maintained and very clean! Only minor suggestion is to remove cobwebs in upstairs master room. We only discovered after a few days into our stay but were too high to deal with, otherwise so nice! Thank you!

Great for multi-generational family

Overall, the house worked great for us. Comfy beds, well-stocked kitchen, plenty of towels and supplies. Enjoyed the hot tub and soaker tub. Would be nice if the two windows above the bed in master suite could be covered, since it's light outdoors almost all night. Tub in downstairs bathroom has slow drain.

Great family weekend

This was such a great property to hold our large family. It is so unusual to find a house with 4 king bedrooms. Master suite is huge! Great basement for all the kids to hang out. Kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of dishes. We cooked all our meals there because the space was so comfortable. Garage is a nice touch to store fat tire bikes and skis etc. Will hopefully be back soon!

Girdwood in March

This little town of Girdwood was awesome. We had the ski resort about a 1/3 mile away. We did some ice fishing in Anchorage, we did a mini cruise out of Seward, we went to a wild life adventure park and we rented snowmobiles. Everything we did was within an hour and a half. Great location, the house was perfect. We had 3 couples and a three year old. Each family had it's own floor. The hot tub was amazing, the house is filled with absolutely everything you need, from sugar, creamer, ketchup, jelly, peanut butter, flour, oil, zip locks bags, etc. I can't begin to tell you how great the house was. The bottom floor was the highlight, with the pool table, card table and the amazingly large brand new hot tub.

Not Disappointed!

If you’re looking for a place that can accommodate a large number of people, great views, peace, quiet and easy access to places of interest, then look no further. We were a group of 11: 9 adults ( ages 32 to 65 ) and two kids (6 and 10) and there was plenty of room for us all. The house was exactly as described and CLEAN. Jackie, the house manager, was very nice and super responsive. Here, briefly, are just some of the things we really liked: We never felt cramped, with plenty of room to spread out. The downstairs pool table, entertainment area and hot tub were huge hits, especially for the dads and kids. The view out back was amazing - the deck was one our favorite places to hang out - with plenty of seating to just sit,“chill” and grill - which we definitely did! The kitchen had everything we needed and then some. Bathrooms had plenty of towels, shampoo, etc. One of the things we really appreciated were the freezers: there was one in the laundry room, another in the kitchen and a box freezer in the garage. We were heading to Homer after our Girdwood stay and came with A LOT of groceries!!!! There’s much more I could say, but you get the gist….it was a great stay and I would totally recommend a booking.

I gave this property a 4 instead of a 5 for a couple of reasons. The kitchen was lacking some basics like measuring tools, wine glasses (there were only a couple), paper napkins, foil, and plastic wrap. The bedroom doors squeaked, which was a problem because my husband got sick and I was trying to sneak in and out of our bedroom without waking him, which was impossible due to the squeaky door. The way it was advertised made me think it was a pretty easy walk into town, but it was quite far up the hillside, so would have been challenging, especially for the kids and elders. On the plus side, having the 4 king bedrooms and the bunk room was great. The beds were comfortable, the downstairs family room was a fun place for the family to gather, play games, watch a movie. The pool table was a huge hit! The view out the living room windows is incredible. You definitely feel like you're living in a treehouse on the side of a mountain. The hot tub was lovely after a long day of adventures. Jackie, the manager, was very communicative and responsive in the reservation process. I would definitely stay in this home again. The pros outweigh the relatively minor cons by a large degree.
