About this property

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.

This crew has stayed everywhere for over 20 years.

This group of four 40-50 somethings has skied and stayed everywhere for over 25 years. Big Sky. Telluride. Park city. Beaver Creek. Alta. Niseko. Breck. Zermatt. Jackson. And others. All are very different. This house is solid. We all had our own space. And the together space on the top level with the modern kitchen and common living room was where we hung out. If you want to experience Alyeska and Girdwood we would all highly recommend this place. Very nice. Hot tub outside. Sauna inside. Very clean. Go to Girdwood brewing. Spoonline. And jack sprat. You’re close to the Iditarod trail too.

Great place in girdwood

This has to be the best place we’ve stayed in girdwood. Always worried if pictures are deceiving, and this was not the case. Pictures are very accurate. And the open floor plan is very nice for large groups.

Best New Years getaway!

This property was excellent for our group of 8. There was a big open living area for us all to be in, a bathroom on every level, and plenty of room for cooking for a big group. The hot tub was amazing and clean and the sauna was wonderful for relaxing. It was a short 5 min drive to the Alyeska resort and located close to dining and grocery stores. The property owner had excellent communication and answered all questions we had in a very timely manner. 10/10 recommend!

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.

Perfect Home for our wedding weekend

Our family was in town for a wedding and the home fit our needs perfectly. The driveway was scraped following a big snow storm just before we arrived. Our contact was always available for questions and recommendations. Thanks for a wonderful weekend.

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.
