Mountain luxury; 3200 sq ft home with view, pool table and close to skiing!

The home is beautiful and in a great neighborhood! You can walk down into Girdwood if you’d like. We used this home as a base for a few days and it worked out perfectly. Girdwood itself has some great food and cute bars. If you can snag a stay at this home during the forest festival, I highly recommend. Parking is at a premium during the festival, but everything is very walkable from this home.

Lovely home. Our family was very comfortable and the weather was good enough for morning hikes. Appliances all worked. The views were majestic from most rooms. Proximity to small shops was almost walkable. Even our little grandbabies loved the master tub in the evenings. Very warm and inviting environment. Having laundry on the second floor was a bonus!

We enjoyed the house and location was excellent

Fantastic accommodation with comfortable beds, very functional kitchen, mud room for ski gear, and quick drive to the mountain. The whole group loved our stay. Girdwood is also a badass town if you’ve never been!

Our family likes to get together every couple years. This place was perfect for us (8 origional, but only 6 could make it) to have 3 nights together. This is a very well built and beautiful place. The bedrooms are really quiet and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked for coming, and the house has a great view of the ski slopes! I'd use this place again if it's still available.

After a 10-year history of renting homes, I’ve never written a poor review until now. Unhinged is the best word to describe my experience with the host of this property, Shawn Gannon. From his defensive and argumentative attitude towards an amenities request, which then precipitated his demand to meet me in the garage of his rental property the next day to demand an apology, which then precipitated a 5-minute rampage on the phone to spew totally irrelevant issues concerning the rental (on the day of my son’s wedding), which then precipitated his entering the rental property unannounced with the houseguests present, which then precipitated his yelling at one of them with a pointed finger, to finally his overall obsession with guest thievery…. Shawn’s actions and words were extremely over-the-top and inappropriate. Whether you chalk it up to a host having a bad day or a host with poor anger management skills, either way it is no excuse for a host to treat his guests in this manner. Ironically, Rule #1 of the Mountain View Guest House: Rental Rules states: “We request that you treat our home respectfully”. Mr. Gannon needs to heed some of his own advice and conversely treat his guests respectfully as well, a basic expectation of guests spending over $1100.00 per night. Due to my disturbing experience with the host, I wouldn’t recommend and would highly discourage the rental of this property. Should you choose to do so anyway, I’d advise you not to question the towel count.

Finding a place to sleep while exploring Anchorage and Seward, and it is ideally situated. Nice and quiet.

Very responsive and the property is even more beautiful in person.

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!

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.
