Wonderful experience!
The location was quiet and serene and the house was everything we expected based on the listing! It was clean and friendly and we would definitely either stay here again or recommend to a friend! The only reason we decided 4 stars instead of 5 was the difficulty/lack of clarity on where to park and how overgrown the pathway to the chalet was, making it difficult to bring luggage back and forth. Other than that, the perfect experience

Comfortable
Positives: very comfortable and spacious. nice beds. quiet area. others mentioned dated but that wasn't a problem for us. it was clean. wifi was good. gas fireplace is a nice touch. girdwood and the surrounding areas are great. Negatives: hot tub more like a warm bath. not much cable tv. extremely slippery long walkway to the unit from the parking lot. i'm used to snow and ice but this was shear ice and flat out unsafe. too far to walk with skis to the lifts (could have saved money and drove a couple more minutes). fees doubled the nightly rate. i'm not inclined to leave negative reviews and i wouldn't have if vacasa had been helpful. it took over a week to respond to an email before our trip. we asked for something to be done about the icy walkway and they didn't do anything. they were quick to send canned emails and ask me if i wanted to buy late checkout, just no communication that was helpful. maybe they are managing too many properties and can't be responsive.

December ski trip
All and all the condo isn’t bad. They should not advertise the unit as having a hot tub, rather mention the cesspool out back you can use at your own risk. We complained day one about the low water level, about 60% full. They said they would fix it but no change, reached out again and they told me they leave it low to prevent spilling. We used it anyway and both of us ended up really itchy. To top it off they charged us a $60 spa fee and so far will not refund it. If a hot tub is important to you, skip this place.

Once Found Property Was Great
No signage. No directions as to how to locate property. We drove around and around for an hour trying to find the chalet. Thankfully, we found a workman and he pointed through the dense trees and past other chalets to point out a portion of an orange door that he said was #8, our chalet. Once you took the boardwalk to the chalet, the #8 was visible, but it wasn't at all until you were right there. Once found, the property itself was great.

Poor communication, no media player, leaky faucets, upstairs with poor insulation.
I would not rent here again. I made multiple attempts to contact the host of the property without getting a reply. Very disappointed with this overall experience. I spoke with two Vacasa agents about an overnight prescription that I needed mailed to the address, and they were not able to put me in contact with the host of the property even despite those circumstances. Not helpful.

Good location for skiing and good size for 2 couples, but.....
Good location for walking to the slopes. We did have a couple issues though. We tried for a week to contact the owner/manager but never got a response. We read a previous review explaining how the hot tub was half full, so we tried to contact the owner to make sure it was full, clean and up to temperature. We never heard from the owner so we contacted VRBO, which put us in touch with Vacasa about the issue. Vacasa promised they would send someone over to confirm it would be ready. Well...the hot tub was half full upon arrival. We also spent 20 minutes digging out the BBQ grill from a pile of snow. Once we got access to it we found that the propane tank was empty, so we couldn't cook our dinner.

The cabin overall was perfect. Very cozy, comfortable and convenient. I personally would have liked to be more secluded but that's me. The host was awesome we first arrived I called in about the hottub water level was low it was addressed immediately. thank you vacasa for a wonderful stay we'll be back.

Cozy Chalet
Tons of space! Very cozy and tucked away. Loved the walkway to the front door. The rich plant growth made us feel like we were tucked into nature and more secluded. Felt like we were staying at a family cabin. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen supplies are very well stocked for just about any meal. Looked like a bran new oven and stovetop. The grill was very nice and the hot tub got the job done! We look forward to our nstove top.

The cottage was very nice overall, the kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. I was very disappointed as the dishwasher was broken and I had to hand wash dishes for each meal. There were lots of towels and extra for the hot tub. TV and the Internet were great. Thanks for a wonderful visit.

Nice get away
It was as the pictures show. A pretty cozy, older house, but over all just fine. The hot tub worked and that was awesome! I felt that the place could have been cleaner, but I have high standards. Walking distance to a few key places and restaurants. Overall it was a lovely visit.

Had a great time
The property was just as advertised on the Vrbo website, was very clean, very functional, the dishwasher was out of order which made it a little bit more difficult, but everything else was excellent. It was a great location to the ski area and to restaurants, breweries in Girdwood. I would certainly stay at this location again.

Decided to rent this house on a whim. Glad I was able to stay 1 night, and was able to reserve on short notice! Property was secluded, quiet & close to all that you would want to be close to in Girdwood. The hot tub was 100+ degrees when we arrived! Thanks for that :)

Deferred maintenance and amenities in poor condition.
The advertising for this property is very misleading as the amenities are very "rough around the edges" with years of deferred maintenance evident. I took photographs all of the following.Here are the major issues: the range/oven (circa 1985) exhaust fan was malfunctioning, vibrating enough to shake the kitchen and very loud, the range was missing one of the four elements, the outdoor BBQ/gas range was broken with gas plumbing laying on deck in pieces, essentially it was trashed and needed to be hauled to the dump and replaced, one of the three kitchen bar stools had broken legs/rungs, was unstable and unsafe to sit it, the hot tub had broken glass in its immediate vicinity and we did not want to risk what might exist inside the tub. Here are issues with deferred maintenance: the majority of the windows have fog and condensation trapped between the panes as the seals have failed, there are several burn marks and wear spots on the carpet in front of the gas fire place, the linoleum flooring in the kitchen has scarring, gouges and punctures, the downstairs bathroom sink faucet handle is loose and falls of when manipulating, one of the two lamps which serve as the source of light in the upstairs bedroom is missing its on/off switch and doesn't work, the vegetation surrounding the deck and boardwalk access paths is overgrown, sprawling, and obstructing access, the wood boardwalk contains no non-skid and is slippery when wet (the cleaning lady mentioned she slipped and fell on it), the front door mat is a piece of indoor/outdoor carpet that is worn and fraying at the edges, the range/oven is probably original when the property was constructed perhaps 35 years old with faded analog controls, timers and switches. We decided to move out after the first night of our two night stay and will be disputing the charges. This VRBO's advertising is misleading as it's conveyed at a premium price, competitive with others on the web site. If the advertising stated the dwelling is "rough around the edges", but functional, this would be more of an accurate description and allow customers to make an informed decision when booking. This is the first time in my life I have disputed lodging charges based on the quality of the amenities provided. I'm 49 years old, a former commercial fisherman and roughneck--one who is used to adverse work and living conditions.

Great Girdwood Cabin
This property was great. The hot tub was clean and hot. It was more than spacious enough for our family of 5. We really enjoyed our stay, the only downside was the railing spacing in the loft made it a not safe space for our toddler, but we were aware of that in advance.
