Why stay anywhere else...

We have stayed at this property multiple times and have never been disappointed. The one time the property was booked during our dates, we stayed at another property, and we were not impressed. In the past, we have stayed here with our special needs daughter, who loves the space. So open, clean, and a great view to top it off.

Alyeska Ski Trip

House was everything we could ask for. Beds were as described and very comfortable. Hot tub is large and very nice (robes and towels provided near door). Good description of restaurant options. Because of road and inclines would not plan on walking to day lodge in ski boots but with a rental car VERY close.

Heavenly

Four perfect and relaxing nights were had by our group of 11. More than enough space for everyone to stretch out and we all enjoyed the hot tub, pool table, and games that were provided. The kitchen is very well appointed and we created some delicious meals while there. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We made some wonderful lifelong memories!!

Winter wonderland in Girdwood!!

Our third trip to Girdwood and it was as magical as ever. The two new rooms in the house, the views, the new hot tub, and the game room are just amazing. Our kids are of different ages, pre-teen and teen and they were never bored. From the pool table to cards and other amenities, it was a great stay. We are planning a return trip this summer. Miss Girdwood already! Highly recommend this incredible house!

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!
