We enjoyed our stay at Iris Pond. The property is located close to several amenities in town. The hot tub was nice after long days of hiking. The kitchen had all the untensils/cookware we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic moose viewing.

The hot tub was a treat to top off a day of hiking. Interesting inside architecture . We saw an adult Moose 2 mornings in a row within 25 ft of the back door. He was just munching away one day and the next morning laying down eating. Such a treat for these East Coast visitors!

Girdwood Alyeska Ski Trip

Location was good, 2 minutes to town, 4 minutes to ski area! Hot tub with a view of the slopes was awesome! The woodwork and craftsmanship of the home was fantastic! The place could probably use a fresh coat of paint and updated floor coverings where applicable, but otherwise it was great!!!

Very comfortable stay

Our family (two grandparents, 2 parents, and 2 kids) really enjoyed spending 4 nights here in July. Beds were comfortable, the house was spacious, the hot tub was amazing with views looking out over forest and mountain. From here we did several day trips: Spencer Glacier Whistle Stop tour, Philips 26 Glacier Cruise out of Whittier, the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, and the Crow Creek Mine. We had a wonderful time and would recommend! Just one thing to point out- the twin bed is on the upstairs landing so would not work for someone sensitive to summer light (no blackout curtains here) or noise from the living room area below- our 8 year old slept here and loved it though.

Great house in a great location

This was a great house for my family of 6. We really enjoyed the location, views, and hot tub. We could easily walk to the main area of Girdwood. There was plenty of space for all of us to hang out in the living room area. Overall a great and easy stay.

Nice place to stay

The house was nice and clean and warm. There is plenty of space to spread out in the main bedroom downstairs. The reason why this is four stars and not five is because the hot tub did not heat up, which is one of the main reasons we booked this house and the TV was difficult to figure out.

Beautiful home

This is an incredibly built timber frame home with so many architectural details, custom furniture, and well designed for a comfortable stay. It’s location is convenient and has a hot tub and lots of room for eating, playing games and people can spread out to private bedrooms. Overall it is a great place to stay in Girdwood.

This is a great area to stay if you are doing your own self drive Alaskan trip. We liked that Girdwood allowed us to travel to Kenai Fjords, Portage Glacier and the wildlife preserve with ease. House is beautiful. Very large, only three of us on this trip and it was way too big for us. The only issue we had was trying to find the trash dumpster (we drove around and around twice and still couldn’t locate). Comfortable beds, beautiful kitchen.

Wonderful cozy cabin in the woods

Everyone in our party kept complimenting the home daily! It was very well stocked with everything we needed. Beautiful surroundings and many hikes nearby. The Tram was worth the price for me as well. Another memorial vacation and anniversary in the books!

Magical views

Our stay was fabulous, the location is perfect, and the backyard view is breathtaking. My family loved this spot the best of all the places we stayed during our visit to AK. The sounds of the creek in the back was an added bonus. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Setting

Although communication with Vacassa was atrocious the stay at the home was amazing. I didn't receive check-in information until less than 24 hours prior to check-in even though I messaged them 2 times the week prior to our trip. I also messaged them during our stay and have never received a response to any of the 3 messages. The listing states that the PM responds within hours, they do not. Once we were at the property it was amazing. The home was very inviting, spotless, very homey and comfortable. The area was safe. The property was beautiful and the stream right outside our bedroom was music to my ears. We were close to restaurants, stores and attractions. I highly recommend the property, the property management company, nt so much.

great location--fun stay

The location of this rental is great. Close enough to Anchorage, Whittier, Seward and Hope to make easy day trips. We were there in mid-May, so great views of snowy mountains abound! Only recommendations were a couple easy fixes 1) some light bulbs out that would have been nice to replace 2) one of the windows upstairs needs a new screen to keep the bugs out 3) upstairs tub drains very slow minor things...
