Rainy Girdwood retreat

We rented for a few days after my sister’s wedding so that family & friends could have some calm hang out time together. We loved the sound of the rain on the roof from the loft and looking out the living room windows at the trees/greenery. The beds were very comfortable; however, the red sofa in the living room is VERY uncomfortable to sit on (we never tried it as a fold out bed). The living room floor slopes a lot and took awhile to get used to. It was nice to have a Keureg machine for coffee, but would have helped to have a few pods at check in (seems pretty standard now to give at least a few—especially since there are so many different machines out there and we’d have been likely to bring the wrong ones). Also we never could find the TV remote. We only watched one movie, but were stuck with French subtitles. (Fine unless you have someone hearing impaired who is hoping for English subtitles to read along and no means to change the settings) Recommend also putting a rubbish bin in the ensuite bathroom. But all in all was an Alaskan, rustic and cozy cabin getaway. Thank you!!

Could use some updates

When we arrived, the cleaning person was still at the residence. She told us we could come in but we went to get something to eat instead. The residence was musty smelling and I'm guessing there is no building code there because it would never pass lol. I would not stay here again and I would not recommend it. The pictures are a bit deceiving.outdated.old and outdated and wmany

wish there was human customer service

nice place overall, no internet which wasn't a big deal for us but just misleading advertising. maybe it could have been troubleshooted but we couldnt reach an actual human for help, customer service was just a robot. Check in was delayed an hour too. Main issue was being unable to communicate with an actual person for help, only a chat bot.

Cozy Little Cabin if You Set Your Expectations Properly

This cabin was cozy and warm, in a great location, and was cleaned well before our stay. The foundation and floor are sloped and uneven, and there is a lot of general maintenance needed inside and out. It's in need of updating, but the upgrades that have been made (appliances, heater, sauna) were in good condition and working well. We didn't watch any DVDs, but there were so many to choose from, along with some games and books, and the kids loved sleeping in the loft. As long as you read through the prior reviews and set your expectations for something rustic and dated, you will find it to be cozy, comfortable, and convenient.

Alpine Meadow Log Cabin Pros and Cons

I understand that we rented on a busy weekend (Forest Fair), but the property was overpriced for what was provided. The linens are shot, the comforter had blood on it and the sheets are stained. The kitchen was minimally stocked, no foil, no coffee (even though there was a coffee pot) and the dishes/pots have seen better days. The “cabin” was rustic and cute, but truly needs a revamp! We were provided a WiFi password, but there was no internet, so I was unable to connect and work while at the property! Also, we had a delayed check in and were not provided with a entry code for nearly an hour, having us sitting outside of the property, with no access 🤷🏻‍♀️ Pluses, the loft, where the kids slept was separate from the bedroom, providing some privacy for the adults. The property is set in a beautiful, green lot, the temperate rainforest makes for a bounty of botanical and green. The property was clean, but again, the furniture and linens really need to be replaced.

0 complaints, everything was super clean and very spacious for my wife and I. Girdwood was a very cool town, the surrounding houses were beautiful! Not a complaint... but the house was outdated, my wife and i looked at it as staying in an antique kinda cabin!

No complaints

This rental is located close to the resort and all parts of the town. Pictures on this listing are accurate and the place was just as expected. There is a sauna inside the place and although I didn’t use it I did test it and it worked.

Daughters Weekend

The house was fine, just disappointed that we had to wait to check in until 4:10. Regular check in was at 4 which is late in my opinion, but we were sitting outside at 3:30 (we arrived early) and the guy was just showing up to clean. We were surprised when it did not have the makings for a pot of coffee. It would have been a nice courtesy. But a nice place to stay.

I wish i could've stayed here longer but unfortunately i had to leave to come back to the thing called work! You could sit on the front porch and drink coffee, and watch some moose, walk to some water falls, or play in yard with kids. I would come back again!

Uneven floors and dirty windows

One of the reasons we picked this location was a great view and a nice screened in porch but the windows were all dirty/cloudy upon arrival. spider webs and dead flies on the porch, and as others have said, the floors are uneven, noticeably so.

Not our favorite

Pros: location, loft and main sitting area, sauna Cons: funky smell to the bedroom and connected bathroom (we believe to have found rodent droppings by the vanity), missing blind in loft, and when we went to drop garbage at the outlined location it was not accessible early morning (prior to 8am). Luckily, a worker came out and took our trash after we hit a call button

Cabin is cute, clean enough. Alot of slants. There was issues with electricity, one day lost power to part of place, next day breaker blew for kitchen. The fan/light combo in living room should be looked at, it flashes and wobbles really bad like the light part is about to fall. Would also have been nice to hose down the outside porch-layers of pollen! May look at doing again next July tho, convenient to Forest Fair. Thank you

Much to be desired.

This property was easy to locate and in a great location for area activities. However, it is in need of dire repair and attention. The cabin smelled of smoke immediately upon entry and was not in proper condition for guests. The floors were dirty, cobwebs hanging from lights, mold and hair in the bathrooms, a bowl to catch water was under the kitchen sink and the shower head was taped on in one of the bathrooms, the back deck receives little sun was dirty and do not book this listing for the Sauna because it does not work, the TV has no remote with no streaming services available and the WIFI did not connect. We arrived at 2am and notified vacasa first thing during business hours. We texted, called and got shuffled around for hours before involving VRBO as well. Ultimately we left the property without resolution and hoped for a partial refund. The smell and inability to take a decent shower was not acceptable. A partial refund was eventually received but this cabin was not as described and a complete let down.

Perfect skiing location

The location in Girdwood is perfect for Alyeska. The cabin itself was fine. It defines has some foundation issues as none of the floors are level. None of the tv remotes work and the sauna never got hot so it wasn’t very useful. The shower head in the living room bathroom also has a seal issue and shoots water sideways. None of these things are deal breakers but manage your expectations going in.
