You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Luxury home -Huge kitchen, living room, HOT TUB, & sauna in a private wooded lot

Find yourself amid the treetops in this beautiful, recently constructed custom home. Nestled away in a quiet hilltop neighborhood located just one mile from Alyeska Resort, this contemporary home provides the perfect setting for your Girdwood getaway.

Expansive windows feature unobstructed forest views. Enjoy an open and airy living and dining room with a 65" flat screen TV, and make yourself at home in a spacious and well-equipped kitchen. Just off the dining area you’ll find a deck with chairs and a grill. Grab a favorite book, settle in, and let yourself be lulled by the sounds of the forest and nearby Virgin Creek. Enjoy cozy radiant in-floor heat, WiFi, and a laundry room. Bedrooms are equipped with blackout blinds.

Indulge in the indoor hot sauna and outdoor hot tub!

The bottom level has its own small kitchen (with microwave and sink - no oven), queen bedroom, sauna, and comfortable area with a pullout couch and flat screen TV.

We welcome families! We have a collapsible travel crib and toys.

Other things to note
-Please note that this property is not available to host events unless prior approval (message host), and we allow no more than 14 guests on property at any time. There is an extra fee for events.
-Person making reservation and at least one person staying at the house must be age 25 or older.
-Sleeping arrangements: 9 guests can sleep in beds (2 queens in their own room, 1 queen and 1 twin in one room together, and 1 bunk bed), 2 guests can sleep on a queen air mattress, and 2 guests can sleep on a sofa queen bed in the basement.

Guests may not park RVs or trailers in driveway.

Due to the length and steepness of the driveway, guests should park on the street when snow or ice are present. The driveway is plowed following significant snowfall during the winter season.

There are no review since 2022 because the house was occupied full-time by the owners.

Wonderful family time
Our nephew from Indiana visits every year. he usually travels back and forth from our house in Anchorage to Girdwood to ski. This time I decided to find us a place to stay in Girdwood. I can’t overstate how great our experience was. The amenities at this place were better than any VRBO and some resorts that I have ever stayed at. Emely is a phenomenal host.

Perfection
I had a creatives getaway at this house, it was absolute perfection. It has all the amenities that we needed. We were able to cook all of our meals there and relax and just be cozy. The sauna was a perfect way to unwind and chat. The forest out the windows gave the sense of peace and seclusion.

Family Staycation
Even though we live in Anchorage, it was nice to spend some time together as a family without the stress of holidays. Grandma tried skiing again after 20 years of down time and is thinking about doing it more routinely.

Amazing House
Wow, this home was wonderful. It was by far one of the cleanest properties I have stayed at, despite allowing pets, and everything looked brand new. Cute decor, comfortable, and lots of room! There are A LOT of stairs and three floors, so if you have bad knees it is probably not ideal. The manager was so nice, informative, and easy to get ahold of. You definitely feel like you are in the forest and when on the top floor it almost feels like a treehouse! The kitchen was awesome and had ample dishes and cooking supplies. The only thing that could possibly make it better would be a hot tub!

Impeccable Accommodations
The rental accommodated 8 family members for my son’s wedding. The family was thrilled and an absolutely superb stay. The home is beautiful and very well maintained. An issue with the smoke alarm which was addressed timely and the ice maker was out of commission upon arrival and too was addressed before we departed from our three day stay. Definitely would stay there again if the opportunity presented itself.

Family and Customer Alaska Trip
Property was perfect and by far, the most well equipped home we have rented. Perfect for the week with family and the week with customers. Rooms were spacious, views from the deck and windows were amazing. While the home was fantastic, it was really Emily that made this work and cannot thank or recommend her enough. Amazing!

Wonderful stay
We had an awesome family stay at this Girdwood property. The location is ideal for both Seward, Anchorage, and some great local trails. The place felt like a tree house with its surrounding trees and the amenities were plenty. The kitchen and pantry were extremely well stocked and the internet was fast, which made work easy. I would not hesitate to return here if I were staying in Girdwood. If there were any feedback I would give the hosts it would be that the bunk beds should preferably be replaced with two twin size beds. The beds creaked a lot and are def not well suited for anyone outside of children under 12.
