Fantastic location, everything we needed

This cabin is in a great location, good size, and was an added bonus that we could bring our dogs. The check in process was seamless and all amenities were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Good place if you’re not interested in Hot Tub

Good location, cute neighborhood but no working Hot Tub. Initially Vacasa staff seemed confused about whether or not property even had a hot tub which was frustrating. I noticed the hot tub photo was removed from listing days before check in, but was never notified it didn’t work before I arrived . Local management confirmed it was not operating and I'm waiting for a partial refund .

Great place & location

We liked this house, the washer/dryer, kitchen and location in Girdwood. Only reason for not a 5 star is that the bed spring and the recliners need to be replaced. The bed spring was the squeakiest I have ever experienced and recliner would not stay reclined.

Overall great, hot tub didn’t work

Overall we loved our stay and the place was a great space, great location. However the hot tub didn’t work when we got there. It was the main reason we chose this rental over others. We reached out to management and they weren’t able to get someone out to fix it until the next day however no one ever came to fix the issue. Management was quick to respond but not very helpful. Disappointed about the hot tub and spending the extra money for this amenity but otherwise the place was great.

70's Vibes

This property badly needs to be up dated, new paint and carpeting would help a lot. The bathroom sink upstairs needs to be replaced as it has many worn spots and chips. Small amenities are missing such as a dust pan to go with the broom and a waste basket in the upstairs bed room. Watch out for the extra "service" fee.However, the location can't be beat and is very close to the resort.

Great for family ski stay

The house is great for families that need some space and want to have meals there and down time/naps. I did let them know they need to add some more forks/spoons and also some basic water/beer/wine glasses. Only found coffee mugs. Plenty of towels for showering and hot tub. Hot tub was nice and private, but be prepared to shovel yourself if it dumps snow. Beds were fine and plenty of seating for meals but living room furniture could use an update. House itself is picturesque with lots of chalet style windows to enjoy the snow piled up outside. Location is ideal!

Great location

The cabin was clean and had plenty of room for our family if 4 to spread out. Appliances were new, property was clean, and the hot tub was nice. You are close to other cabins, however the surrounding trees and shrubs make it seem more secluded. The cabin is close to stores and restaurants, the scenery was beautiful. The only reason I am not leaving a 5 star review is the bed in the master bedroom. It squeaked every time I moved, the mattress was not very comfortable, and the pillows were flat. Taking that into consideration, I would still give this rental a 4.8.

Quiet Honeymoon Getaway!

My husband and I enjoyed our short stay for our honeymoon! Lots of snow and beautiful scenery, super close to all of Girdwood / Alyeska amenities. Comfy beds and most things you need in the kitchen. A Keurig and maybe a few other more commonly used items (we left cooking spray for others) would be helpful, if you plan to cook I would recommend checking the cupboard before you go shopping or bring all you'll need. Beware there isn't a lot of hot water so you may need to space out showers. Extra blankets in the livingroom would be another great perk. We used an extra blanket from the closet, but hate to dirty a larger linen just to cozy up on the couch. Overall we loved the place, and it was plenty roomy for a family. Beautiful views and available hot tub to use! Hoping we can visit here again!

Girls Weekend

Nice home and clean. Few concerns. Hot tub is in full view of all the neighbors so was not used. There are no window coverings in living room so we're in a fish bowl surrounded by neighbors when it's dark. Recliners sound like they'll break as soon as you recline. Shower handle comes completely off so you have to balance it back on to turn water on & to off.

Hot tub wasn’t working & I wasn’t notified.

I booked this location a few weeks back specifically because it had a hot tub listed. Upon arriving, the hot tub wasn’t on, wouldn’t turn on, and a Vacasa rep let me know the owners recently took it down from amenities meaning something likely happened. Unfortunately, that’s the only reason I picked this location. It’s cute and was well put together but I simply would have picked a different location had I know or they notified me that it was down. No email, not anything. I would’ve booked a different location had I known. Disappointing to say the least. Working to try to get some sort of reimbursement so I’m holding out hope for some sort of compensation.
