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!

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!

Wonderful stay in Girdwood

My husband and I brought our kids for a quick getaway to Girdwood. This was our second trip to this house in Girdwood and this house was just incredible! We had everything we needed for preparing meals, the EV charger for our car was great, and the kids really enjoyed the game room and big jacuzzi. Our daughter is special needs and the house had a high chair for her, pack-n-plays, and was very accommodating. Thank you so much and we will return!

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.

Wonderful home in Alaska!

We had a wonderful time and this rental had everything you could need for a family vacation! We didn’t need to bring a pack n play, or a high chair, which was a huge help! Tons of VHS movies for the kids to choose from, and the perfect setup for my family. There was plenty of room for everyone. The views are incredible, and the house was pretty central in location for driving to see a lot of Alaska. The kitchen is stocked with anything you could need to prepare your food. We truly enjoyed our stay!

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.

Great time

The house was amazing. We had 3 less people than we expected but the space was perfect. There was plenty of everything we could possibly need. However, one complaint. The master bathroom shower head. My husband is 6’4” & totally didn’t fit under it. I’m 5’8” & just barely fit. We had to be very careful not to get water on the wood floors.
