Great house
The house was beautiful and clean. The location was amazing. The stream running under the house, the hot tub, and the sauna put it over the top. Host was super sweet and helpful as well. Will definitely be staying there again when we come back!

So Beautiful and Relaxing
A beautiful and relaxing property, in a great location. The hot tub and sauna are excellent, and the sauna is a high-end Finnish-style one. Close to a few restaurants and a grocery (Crow Mercantile). There are several great hikes around, near the Alyeska Resort. We would definitely come back!!

Unique, Quiet and Clean
This home consists of 2 units, separated by a shared hot tub. It’s very clean and comfortable. Located in a quiet area of Girdwood, it’s convenient to Whittier (boat tour), the Alyeska resort (great hiking trails for us plus skiing in the winter), and the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. What is unique? It has a creek running under the house (and between the units)! We enjoyed listening to the sounds of the water running. Makiko was a great host — very responsive and accommodating.

An odd property
One bathroom and a huge lack of privacy - poor layout. Our last property was so lovely this one stood out poorly in comparison. We would not return.

About the host

Hosted by Makiko Boyd

Host profile image
I grew up in Niigata, Japan. It is the place in Japan where skiing was introduced in 1911. My father was the ski instructor, and I started skiing when I was only 3 years old. The Hotel Alyeska was built and operated by Japanese company, I knew the name "ALYESKA" when I grew up in Japan but never thought I would live in Alaska until I met my husband John. He grew up in Dublin, Ireland, and he never skied before, but he loved beautiful snowy Girdwood and found a house potential as a vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

My dream since high school was to own a B&B one day. We saw the open house sign 1997 on our drive to the hotel, and just took a look. The property had such special atmosphere with the sound of the creek so relaxing and calming! Build as a duplex, the two units are very private. They are connected by a breezeway and sauna area. We thought this property was the perfect place for our vacation home and for maybe running the B&B one day when we have more time.

What makes this property unique

The lovely sound of the creek is so relaxing- it creates a peaceful setting for your getaway.
The ski slope, restaurant and hotel are all walking distance.
There is also a soccer field across the street, that turns into a cross-country trail in the winter time. Great location!! Girdwood is the only resort for world class skiing in Alaska, and Glacier Creek Lodge is the perfect getaway!!
