Great Vacation Spot
We enjoyed a visit with a group of family members for a wedding in girdwood. The house had everything we needed. There was plenty of room for 12 adults to relax and enjoy the surrounding area and the views did not disappoint.

Thanks for letting us use your great house for our Cook Inlet fishing trip. House was even better than last time. Love the game room and new hot tub for relaxing after a long day on the water. Coffee and breakfast on the deck is to die for. We will definitely return.

We chose this property based on location, as it is just south of Anchorage, and closer to the Kenai, Seward area. The location felt isolated and remote, (desired) but was very convenient for our itinerary. The house was very clean and spacious. Highly recommend this property!

Fabulous house, a little removed
Our family of five (including one grandparent, and two kids) stayed with another family of four, and this house was PERFECT! The house has everything you need - comfortable beds, great sheets, stocked kitchen, BBQ, it's all there! Only thing to understand is the location, it's only a mile to the center of Girdwood. We were hoping to ride bikes into town, and a mile would have been fine, but it's steep =) I didn't translate the snow removal comments into that. This is a great place to stay, but you will need to drive into town. Highly recommend!

Great Location
The views from the house are amazing. The Kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed. We had three family with us and the three levels made the stay enjoyable for all the members of the families. We only had one hiccup and that was we did not know how to take out the trash. We contact the owner and he had it taken care of right away. Overall, it was a great visit, the host was great and we would stay there again.

Don’t rec for winter unless have vehicle with spikes
The house was nice and it’s close to the ski slopes. Property manager was great! However, it is located high up in the neighborhood and the road wasn’t maintained during our entire stay. We were unable to drive up to the house and had to park in neighbors drive and walk up the road to the house for 3 of our 4 night stay. We did speak with the owner regarding this who confirmed it’s supposed to be plowed and graveled each day and he would call to make sure it was done. It never was. We also sustained damage to vehicle due to the unmaintained road. All and all, way too much stress for what it was worth and what we payed. I did request a partial refund due to being unable to access the house except by foot and the owner declined as “he doesn’t control the roads”. So if you stay here in winter, make sure you have a vehicle that can drive on steep, icy, unmaintained roads.

Perfect for a multi-family getaway!
We had a blast staying at the Girdwood Getaway! It is tucked away from the action of the ski hill, but is close enough for easy access. The home had everything we needed for our stay, and the kids loved the games room. The big surprise was the luxurious ensuite off the Master Bedroom! Highly recommended as a place to unwind!

Excellent place to stay
We stayed here on a ski vacation with a large group of adults and had a wonderful time. The only problem was that some cars could not get up the road to the house as it was quite icy. The house is well-appointed and we appreciated the garbage pickup midweek. Too bad there isn't any recycling in Girdwood.

Perfect Cottage in Girdwood with Great Amenities
One of the highlights of my trip to Alaska was the quality of this cottage. I visited with a group of 6 other adults and there was plenty of room for us all to spread out. The hot tub was very clean/new, the view from the balcony was spectacular, the kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of games to keep us busy. Aside from the quality of property, I also want to emphasize the effort that the owner/manager put in throughout the rental process. From the moment I booked my stay, the line of communication was open for whatever I needed leading up to our visit. The rental agent was very flexible at making sure our group was taken care of regardless of what we might have needed. Overall I couldn’t have chosen a better place to spend the week at while skiing around Alyeska. If I ever have the opportunity to visit this part of the world again, I hope that I could stay here again!
