Cabin w/ private hot tub, gourmet kitchen, handcrafted wood details, near skiing

I always use VRBO, I was not allowed early check in, due to them saying they needed time to clean, which no one was even staying ahead of us. When I arrived the house was very dirty, not cleaned and the hot tub was filthy. I’m very disappointed with my stay. The house was beautiful and needs updating. The couch was filthy and the blinds were all broken. This house could be so beautiful if taken care of. The views outside were amazing.

This is a great area to stay if you are doing your own self drive Alaskan trip. We liked that Girdwood allowed us to travel to Kenai Fjords, Portage Glacier and the wildlife preserve with ease. House is beautiful. Very large, only three of us on this trip and it was way too big for us. The only issue we had was trying to find the trash dumpster (we drove around and around twice and still couldn’t locate). Comfortable beds, beautiful kitchen.

My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. The heated floors in the living room was so appreciated with our single digit and minus temps after coming in from outside. . The view of the lights on the mountain from the back porch/hot tub area was amazing! And the hot tub was a pleasant 104. Perfect! Thank you!

1/2 bath light didn’t work Upstairs tub drain doesn’t drain wellGuest shouldn’t be ask to drive trash to another location to put it in a dumpster Very cold on arrival - takes several hours to warm house up. Heat should be up more before guest arrives. Many light bulbs need changing Smart lock wouldn’t lock when we left

We loved this cabin. Set in beautiful surroundings and very peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic trip and great house. Would definitely stay there again!

View

Everything was perfect! I would recommend removing more trees that are blocking that wonderful view.

Beautiful view from Hot tub and back area. Loved all the vegetation and eagles!!!Comfortable beds bathrooms may need updating; shower curtains a little gross. Would love to revisit in the snow!!!!

We enjoyed our stay with our family; there were 4 of us. Nice house with amenities. Beautiful surroundings including a stream that runs alongside the house; we could’ve enjoyed that more from the master bedroom and one of the upstairs bedrooms had the blinds worked. The strings were missing and rendered the blinds nonfunctional. The hot tub was very nice just be careful opening and closing the lid. It is very heavy and not secured to the hot tub. It almost slid off and took two people to get it open and closed. We would still stay here again.

Great location, great cabin.

Craftsman Dream on the Creek. House and setting is over the top amazzzzzzing. Loved it so much we will be back soon?????

The house and hot tub were clean. Would stay there again

We saw Moose in the yard !! Great views from the back porch. Very comfortable home. We had everything we needed to enjoy our Alaska stay. We used Girdwood as our home base. Convenient to all ! Downtown Girdwood has great places to eat. Awesome stay !

Iris Pond is a beautiful home with a beautiful view. The only reasons I didn’t give it 5 stars are due to maintenance. Window coverings are broken and can’t be kept up in 2 bedrooms, light bulbs are burned out through out the home, the 2 upstairs bedrooms have very uncomfortable beds, hot tub has no way to add water after using. It feels very private and lends itself well to a group of 6. The kitchen is fully appointed although a 4 slice toaster would be nice…. Even with these shortcomings., I would recommend it for a getaway…

We had 3 couples and we all enjoyed the inside of the cabin. It is centrally located in Girdwood and it was easy to go where ever we wanted to from the cabin. The neighbors are close. The view from the back windows and back porch was stunning! The only thing we did not like was the large step down from the back door to the back porch. We would have all been in and out that door a lot but we only went out a couple times because the step really seemed dangerous. One of the couples in our group have a VRBO and they could not believe how unsafe that step was. An accident waiting to happen.

The character of the home was enchanting. The view-- a picture of heaven with the trees framing the mountains while a nearby stream babbles in the background. Truly awe inspiring. An experience my family and I loved.

I brought my family, 6 people total, to stay in Girdwood. It was the perfect location for day trips to Anchorage, Seward, Whittier. The home was private with a great view of Mount Alyeska. I would love to book this beautiful home again.

Nice Alaska charm kind of house style, very cozy with an amazing view! Perfect for any get away from family vacation to a couples retreat this home has is all!

We enjoyed our stay at Iris Pond. The property is located close to several amenities in town. The hot tub was nice after long days of hiking. The kitchen had all the untensils/cookware we needed. Would definitely stay again.

The hot tub was a treat to top off a day of hiking. Interesting inside architecture . We saw an adult Moose 2 mornings in a row within 25 ft of the back door. He was just munching away one day and the next morning laying down eating. Such a treat for these East Coast visitors!
