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.

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!

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.

Family friendly
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.
