This is a beautiful house, checked every box for our stay! Beautiful chalet style, with every amenity you’d ever need. The sunken hot tub was a great way to unwind after a day of wondering around the local trails. Would recommend staying here (and will stay here myself again)!

We had a great stay at Sarah's place. It was a good location for day trips to Whittier, Portage Lake and the Kenai River for rafting. The space was very tasteful and had a fun tree house atmosphere. The kids loved the hot tub.

Quiet neighborhood close to Anchorage & Whittier

Girdwood was the perfect location for our Alaskan vacation! With close proximity to Anchorage & Whittier (and only two hours to Seward), walkable distance to shops, three bedrooms, two baths, a hot tub, and all of the amenities of home, the rental on Alpine Meadows was great. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful experience! Beautifully decorated home- I loved all the Alaska decor. Super comfortable beds. We didn’t have a car and walked all over Girdwood- the closest place to eat was just over a 1/2 mile walk. Once you get out the main road there is a nice rail trail. Beautiful area!!

This place was unique and beautiful. Kitchen had useful items, spices, etc. Could is a little more silverware but a clean, comfortable, fun house! Host was responsive to text messages and the house was comfortable. Added bonus, you could walk to an easy waterfall hike - Virgin Creek Falls. Great location and will stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Faulkner-Mattingley

Host profile image
Darren and Sarah Mattingley, two life long Alaskans who live in the beautiful resort town of Girdwood with their children and many pets. We like to collect unique properties and transform them into works of art.

Why they chose this property

This property was originally built as a small cabin in the late 1960's and was remodeled and added on to in 1985. When we purchased it in 2014 we saw great potential for this property and loved the custom work that was done several years back so we continued on with the rustic theme and added another wing with an additional bedroom while updating the existing structure.

What makes this property unique

Girdwood is a small valley with limited land where the average lot size is about a quarter acre. This home is situated on a larger than average lot but what attracted us to this property was the treed lot and overall charm of the home.
