Want a wonderful home and a great location! We love to travel and stay at vacation rentals often. Through experience, I have discovered that the quality of the vacation rental can affect your vacation enjoyment. After reading other reviews I expected this rental to be a good one, however I was still surprised. This home far exceeded my expectations. Karen must travel a lot herself as she has added so many personal touches anticipating your needs. The kitchen has every appliance you could possible need. We used to slow cooker to prepare a roast to enjoy after a long day bear watching and used to outdoor grill to cook our fish. The beds were all comfortable and the bathrooms well appointed. Forgot your tooth brush-no problem- Karen provided extras. Need slippers for cool mornings-Karen had some for you to use. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and appreciated the towels and robes available in the spa room. We played games every night and took advantage of the selection of games in the downstairs room. The teens thought they would have time to ride bikes, so Karen brought some over. Karen and Terry texted throughout our stay to make sure all was good. We could not have asked for better host or a more enjoyable home.

Great home!

We had a group of 7 adults. Plenty of room, I don't think we even used the lower "apartment" area. The owners were very communicative and open to ideas we may have had regarding the check-in process.We had everything we needed for dinners we made at the house. Usually, we find that very basic things are discarded or taken that the previous renters may have left.(ie-seasonings, canned goods, beer!) This was not the case here. Which is nice, considering there isn't a full grocery in town. Thanks for a great time and we will suggest to any of our friends wanting to come out to Girdwood to make some memories in your home.

Spacious and cozy at the same time!

When the moment you walk in the door, you feel at home. The view from the living room was a real winter wonderland. Their accommodations were amazing, and the owners were very welcoming and informative. They had all the extra touches. I would highly recommend this home for your next day. I know when I visit Girdwood again I will be giving them a call.

Alaskan Gold

This home is an absolute treasure! The place was impeccable and as breathtaking in reality as it appears in the photos. Our family group of nine adults had no issues with finding space for us to all hang out together or separate places for time away from others while enjoying the views, playing provided games, or using the hot tub. The hosts were excellent at staying touch before arrival, and during the stay even offering updates on the increased probabilities of seeing the northern lights. The location was a nice drive from downtown Anchorage but was always filled with scenic vistas and changing views. Girdwood, where the house is located, is a great community and offers its own treats, restaurants, and activities for the family to enjoy. This was the best VRBO property my wife and I have booked and enjoyed! It’s a nugget of Alaska that we will treasure forever!

Comfortable and Quiet.

This house was everything we needed. It was very well stocked so meal prep was easy. We had a large group and everyone was comfortable. The downstairs queen bedroom could use a better privacy door and it would be nice to have some blinds on the upper windows in the upstairs master bath. Not a huge issue we made it work.
