The duplex was clean. However, furnishings were sparse, unorganized and several important appliances were broken: jacuzzi and dishwasher to name a few. The missing closet doors did not enhance our stay.
Work to be done here.

Clean & tastefully decorated Condo, which has everything that we needed during our travel. In a very quiet neighborhood with great view of the Alyeska Mountain.

It is a fantastic stay in the cozy house. There is a little heck up when checking in the first day on how to open the door. It is actually the upper knob instead of lower handle to open the lock. After we figured that out, everything is good surprise for our family. We enjoyed the nice location to surrounding scenery spots, and local good food and amenities. Neighbors are friendly too. Wish next time we come it will be still available. Thank you Heidi!

The Girdwood area is a great base for exploring the upper area of the Kenai Peninsula. The house was plenty big for our family of 4 and had all the necessities to make our stay comfortable.

Adorable art and good kitchen items! Dark curtains were appreciated especially this time of year.
Great home base to travel around the area.

This was a nice and comfortable place to relax in. It was very clean. It has a great kitchen with all you need to cook a meal. The sauna was an amazing perk. This was a great place to be able to play games at the big dining table with the kids as well as spacious enough so we could spread out to read and relax. We had a wonderful time and would definitely rent again.

The owner was extremely flexible regarding the reservation. Very easy to work with. The house is very close to Alyeska which was why we chose this house. We felt comfortable allowing our kids to walk to and from the slopes. Kitchen was well-equipped for dining in. I initially thought they had a washer and no dryer. Took me a minute to realize the washer and dryer was the same appliance. Beds were comfortable with warm bedding. Thank you for a great trip.

Great unit to rent out for an Alyeska ski trip. Very spacious with artic entry downstairs that's perfect for gear. It's downhill from the resort so it's an easy ski back fom chair 4. The sauna is a great way to relax after a day of shredding it on the slopes

Loved the huge bathroom and upgraded appliances. Were pleased with the comfy beds and pillows. Had to go online to figure out how to use the washer but then loved it. Streaming was easy and enjoyed the fireplace. Left a note on one of the wall recepticals that was a safety concern. Would have liked more bath towels. Didn’t know what to do with the garbage bags or when check out time was. We were very comfortable staying in this home.

Overall this property was good, it just needs some love. The tarp on the roof does not leave a great first impression. Maybe they are having work done, I don't know. The railings need to be tightened for safety. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfy and the location is great. I would stay here again.

Property was lovely. Very modern and up to date, super clean with a great kitchen, bedrooms and living room.
TV was difficult to get functioning and lots of neighbors, but neither of these was really an issue.
Would stay here again. Beware that most of the nicer places to eat seem to all be closed on Tuesdays!

The property was spacious but the beds and bedding need some attention. Also, there was a bad smell in the kitchen area, possibly in the drain that needs to be addressed. We needed a hair dryer and while it was listed as an amenity, there was not one available. I communicated with the manager late at night and she was quick to respond. However, while she was apologetic, she could not rectify the situation. All in all, the property was as listed but needs a little TLC.

This property was perfect for our family of 4 - with two teenagers. After a long afternoon/night of travel, this condo was easy to get to find and well stocked. Everyone’s favorite part was the bathroom- with the sauna and giant jacuzzi tub. We rode the tram to the top of the ski resort and took in the breathtaking views. I highly recommend staying here and enjoying a day or two in the little town. Thanks for a great stay!!

My girlfriends and I wanted to get out of town for a short staycation and as soon as we walked into the place, we were super happy! The home is very cozy, loved the large dining table and open kitchen. It was perfect. We would stay here again.

Beautiful, big place with lots of extra perks
The home was great! Very comfortable and loved the sauna and whirlpool tub. Kitchen was great for cooking. Ample room for hanging out and sleeping.
Only problem is that someone else came into home after we were there. They had miscommunication on rental . They worked it out.. but we couldn’t lock up safely after that . Asked to change the code on door and that wasn’t an option . Because we had our kids with us we felt a bit vulnerable.

I love all the windows in this home. The better to enjoy snowy, beautiful Girdwood. The layout is spacious and everything is organized well. We used the sauna several times and enjoyed it immensely. We would definitely stay here again.

Upgraded house with plenty of room!
I had a party of 11 so I rented both upstairs and downstairs units. Both units are nicely upgraded with new amenities and very well kept. Also, both kitchens are fully stocked with all the needed appliances (including kettles for boiling water). I loved the place and highly recommend this place to any family who like to have a peaceful time in Whittier/Gerwood area

Better than expected
Such a spacious, nice place in a great location in Girdwood. The sauna and spa were so nice. The place was so well equipped. We had great communication with Cassandra, the owner. Very comfortable beds and bed linens. Nice and Clean. It is a separate but shared space with a downstairs unit so there is the potential for hearing other guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
