Girdwood Adventure

We had a wonderful stay in our Girdwood home. The accommodations and location were excellent, and Shawn was easy to work with. We would stay here again when we visit Alaska!

Beautiful Home

This home is gorgeous and kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies. We only stayed 2 nights as a stop off to Homer because we wanted to hike the Girdwood area and enjoy the Nordic spa. Apart from the kitchen, this home is less well stocked than others we’ve stayed in with respect to linens and other amenities such as bedding and bathroom supplies. Plan on bringing all your own toiletries as it states in the description and as others have mentioned. The beds are comfortable, but only one pillow per person and they could use replacing. The owner met us at the house, gave us a full tour of the house and stayed for a while to talk. He was very nice, but it was a bit awkward - we were exhausted after a very long travel day from CA and just wanted to drop our bags and head to dinner, and he stayed for about 45 minutes going over the house and rules. We’ve never experienced that with other vacation rentals. The couches in the living room were also covered in large sheets because they are leather. He seemed like he wanted us to keep them covered so we did, but that was uncomfortable/odd. The pool table was super fun, the views are great, and the neighbors/neighborhood are lovely. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but would probably look somewhere else next time because it really felt like the owners would rather not have people staying in their home which gave it an uncomfortable/unwelcoming vibe overall.

Great gathering space.

We found this rental to be perfect for a small group of friends meeting for the weekend. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stalked and a fun place for us to cook together, the livingroom/kitchen was very inviting. The pool table also a great asset, thanks for the fun. The only reason I took a star off for location was we found it a little too far to walk to the ski hill or restaurants in the "town center", others might not find it too far at all. This is the second time wwe have rented this home and would do so again.

We had a great time and the place was just what we needed for a large work group

About the host

Hosted by S.G.

We have lived in Alaska for the past 29 years and fell in love with Girdwood the very first time we visited this beautiful, scenic town many years ago. We lived in Germany for 3 years and Girdwood brings back wonderful memories of southern Germany. Spending time in Girdwood is a great way to renew our love of the mountains and we thoroughly enjoy hiking and fishing in the summer and skiing in the winter. We love our home in Girdwood so much and hope you will enjoy it too!

Why they chose this property

We instantly fell in love with this scenic town of 2,000 people on the edge of the Chugach Mountains with its spectacular outdoor activity options including hiking, skiing, fishing, and more.

What makes this property unique

Whether you like to hike in the summer or ski in the winter or simply relax in a small mountain town, our home in Girdwood will surely enhance your visit!
