We loved the house! It has a perfect Girdwood feel, so much character. The main floor is excellent for gathering, and we really loved the sunroom nook off the kitchen. Had one minor issue during our stay that was promptly and satisfactorily addressed.

The house was awesome and had great layout for our group. The glass room was awesome with the snow. The only problems with the stay was the hot tub and the dishwasher. The hot tub was great, but we had to have it cleaned the second day because it was very dirty when we arrived. Some weird brown junk floating in it and a brown tint to the water. Once cleaned it was amazing. The dishwasher was also not working and had a strange yellow goo in it. We decided to just hand wash our dishes. Aside from that the house was truly awesome.

Such a cozy chalet to spend our evenings and mornings in! My favorite parts were the green-tiled glass-covered kitchen nook that was the perfect spot to read with coffee, and relaxing in the hot tub after a long day on the slopes. Great location, great space, easy check-in/check-out. We even saw a lynx out the back window.

This property has served as a nice extended family getaway for several years. It is rustic feeling but has all the necessary amenities for cooking meals and relaxing. We all loved the upgraded hot tub!

Absolutely adorable home with quaint features and a master bedroom that has 280 degree windows to try and spot the aurora!

Great location & layout, but wouldn’t take much to upgrade & maintain a bit better.
