Summer at a Ski Resort

We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it. It's out of the city, but reasonably close to many of the things we wanted to see. There were trails within walking distance and a small grocery store nearby. The place had all of the amenities we needed. The spiral staircase was a special touch, as we have one in our home as well.

Very clean and comfortable cabin

Nice cozy cabin, enjoyed the scenery and being in nature all while your feeling like your at home. The cabin does have a small crawl space up in loft area , so I got a little spooked out when the cover on it fell over. I ended up pushing one of the spare beds over to keep it up.

Clean rooms. (The drain in the bathroom sink needs to be cleaned) Quiet. Great coffee shop nearby. Well stocked kitchen. Washer/dryer was convenient. The bathroom door was very hard to close and stairs were cute but noisy to walk on.

Loved the Place

Although small, this place had everything we needed for our stay. Plenty of dishes, pots & pans, towels. It is a great location, outside of the city but still centrally located to many places to see. Nice hiking within walking distance.

Perfect little cabin!

We loved our stay in this little cabin. This time was just my husband and I but we would return with our kids too. Very special place and great location. Beautiful mountain peak view out the living room window. Loved the turquoise and red decor also. Thank you!

Loved our Girdwood Stay for our Honeymoon

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was a cute small cabin loft style stay. I will say we were frustrated with the fact that the shower curtain was stained yellow and black....We were also discouraged that it was summer time in Alaska and the downstairs did not have black out curtains only the upstairs window so in turn it was still bright in our cabin. Lastly, it is summer in AK.... there were not screens on the windows and it was very warm in the cabin as we could not open the windows because mosquitos kept coming in. We were very hot sleeping and did not like this aspect.But we did enjoy the coziness and LOVED that the hosts had all kinds of tv programs to pick from on the apple TV. We liked the comfort of the beds.The kitchen was well equipt as well. Also thoughtful they had mosquito and bear spray as well. All in all it was a decent stay just wish it would've been a bit cleaner and screens on the windows! Would rebook in girdwood but maybe not here!

This house looks very beat from the outside but it is FANTASTIC on the inside! The stairs are steep which was not an issue for us at all but could be for others. Very clean, had plenty of towels!! The kitchen sink is a little challenging and the washer/dryer combo is kind of terrible but was glad to have it the day we needed it. Overall I would definitely stay again! Very clean and comfortable!

Very cute, poor national property management

Not a fan of Vacasa property management. Claims to be local - but isn’t. Difficult to work with. Refused to have an early check in due to cleaning, but no one was there when we arrived. Property itself was nice - however the shower curtain was stained and the blinds in the upstairs area where you sleep didn’t close. Also one of those that they expect to have spotless (dishes washed, trash taken out, etc) which makes it feel more like a chore than a vacation. Everything else was good with the property. You have to register a vehicle ahead of time which sucks if you’re renting a car.

Really cute cabin

The cabin was cute and very clean. The beds and pillows were really comfortable. The only issue that we had was that there were not any screens in any of the windows, and it gets hot in June. We really wanted to open some windows, but we didn't want to get eaten up by mosquitoes. Other than that, it was great!

We liked our stay, but had some issues.

Cons: dirty pots and pans, no screens on the windows (letting in fresh air meant letting in bugs), dirty heater filter that caused beeping all night until I googled and solved the issue the next morning, tapping coming from the bathroom that goes all night (unless you leave the bathroom vent on), hot water runs out quickly, washer/dryer took an absurd amount of time to dry clothes (hours), can opener didn’t work, tv remotes (3 of them) don’t see to work properly. Pros: comfy beds, plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 small kids, plenty of towels/sheets/pillows, close to hiking, close to Girdwood and Aleyeska.
