    This house is absolutely beautiful and incredibly cozy, and huge! There was plenty of space for everyone, we all Enjoyed the game room . The wood-fired sauna in the backyard was such a fantastic bonus—we loved it! Highly recommend this place.

    This house has everything we needed. It was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Shower pressure is amazing. The walls are very thin, but there is plenty of room for everyone, both to spread out or hang together. Location is very private. Beautiful falls within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

    We loved David and Jen’s house. We especially loved the storage for the ski gear, the sauna, and plenty of room to cook. This house uses space well!We had the best time in Girdwood. Being 5 mins from the mountain and hitting the brewery on the way home. While we were happy to support the local market, we definitely would have done a grocery run in anchorage prior to arrival had we known the lack of available groceries in town. That’s on us!

    Our group of longtime friends loved the house, location, and especially the sauna. Highly recommend, and would consider for future trips to the area!

    Area is awesome and checking in was a breeze. However that’s where it all goes wrong. Futons smell like body odor for starters. Pillows are flat and also have a sour odor. Beds were so bad we had to leave and rent a hotel due to back issues. When exploring Alaska the last thing you want is back problems and poor rest. When asked to refund last half of stay the host went silent and wouldn’t cancel our stay. Hopefully they use the money to fix the broken windows or put a television on the main hang out floor.

    This was a great spot for our family, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to amenities. Something for everybody, (games/sauna/etc) and designed for the local activities. Great communication, would stay again!
