Girdwood three day stay
Nice place on outskirts of town, towel holders in upper bathroom were falling off the wall, bed was comfortable, really nice to have the barbecue on the deck to use, quiet neighborhood, only downside was your close to turnagain arm and the train blowing its whistle woke me up unexpectedly.

Good for a short stay
This well loved cabin was great for the few nights we used it as a base to hike and explore the area. It is a bare-bones cabin - the two beds are located upstairs in the same room, which was hard to tell from the pictures. The kitchen had very minimal cooking gadgets and it would have been nice to have some coffee or cooking oil in the pantry. I could not locate a fan or hair dryer to help dry our wet socks after hiking. The house is dog friendly, and although we didn't have pets with us the carpet smelled like dog. It was a good spot for a quick stay, but I think could use some attention.

Miss representation
The posting is inaccurate. It states a 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom laudry on site. There was only 1 bedroom with 2 beds in it. The other bedroom was padlocked so we could not enter. There was no laundry. The furnishings and decor are very dated. The beds sagged and were uncomfortable. Definitely would not recommend.

We really laid back at this house it was very comfortable and we actually watched TV for the first time on vacation. Great location, very clean and we had everything we needed. Wish I would have had time to enjoy the tub.

Good not great
Low quality pillows, only 2 per bed (1 per person if you're sleeping 2 people). No washer or dryer access, super small TV that is not a smart TV. The sink upstairs was clogged the whole time and I couldn't get the manager on the phone or to respond to email. The patio was great we enjoyed it every morning. Tons of parking even though we only had 1 car. I would not re-book this place.

This cabin was a great home base while we explored the turnagin arm area. Comfortable beds and a great table to gather around to make plans.

V. well equipped. Household supplies - dish soaps, hand soaps, initial coffee, full BBQ tank, etc. - provided. Girdwood train depot in easy walking distance and because of GVT shuttle routing, shuttle on request, can pick-up at location. Jetted-tub is indoors, not an outdoor hot tub, and was not used during our summer visit. Bed arrangements mean there are no closed-door bedrooms. While much more spacious, bed arrangements are akin to a two double-bed hotel room vs a two-bedroom chalet from a privacy perspective. Property is optimal for a single couple or family of 4-5 with vehicle. V. highly recommend this property. If we return to Girdwood, we would seek to book this property.

Girdwood: 10/10 would visit again.
Perfect place to stay while in Girdwood! This location would be great for either summer or winter travel. Place is packed with all the amenities and perfectly situated in the pines of Girdwood. We enjoyed the balcony with its generous views and felt like we had all the creature comforts of home. Will definitely keep an eye out for this chalet when we venture back to Alaska.

Great Cabin in the Woods
My boyfriend, dog and I stayed at the Jewel Chalet for a few nights and it was perfect for us. It is a cozy little place, with a fireplace and huge front porch with hanging lights. We had a great time hanging out on the porch and playing cards. We had everything there that we needed and everything was perfectly cleaned for us. Girdwood is such a fun little town, and has tons of hikes and outdoor things to do not far away. We will definitely be staying here again!

We enjoyed our stay in spite of a plumbing issue, we called and advised the local management of the issue and they promptly responded and addressed the issue and even gave us a rebate on our stay, well done Gridwood management! Over all the property is good, needs a bit of sprucing up but I would stay again.

Beauty
We were only in town for 1 night. The pull out was miserable. we were 2 couples and didn't mind the shared room but the poor guy on the sofa pull out did not sleep at all! A jacuzzi tub should have bath oils and bubble bath. We bleached the tub to use it but it used all the hot water to fill it. Add oils and bubble bath and it would be worth it though. Not something most travel with. I was happy with everything else. Great little town!
