Don’t stay here in the winter!
My wife and I decided to stay for a short weekend to celebrate her birthday. When we got to the cabin, it was 52°! The Toyo stove was going, but it was not keeping the cabin warm. Yes, it was below zero temperatures outside but this is ridiculous! I reached out to the host to ask if this was the only heat source, as well as how to turn on a ceiling fan to push some of the hot air down, and they would not respond. On our day of departure, the cabin finally warmed up. I also was able to figure out the ceiling fan with no help from the host. This cabin is old and in desperate need of a remodel. Dishonor and hot tub was nice, but we would not stay here again, and I don’t recommend anyone else stay as well, unless the host updates the cabin, and is more responsive to the guest needs.

Chalet was very dirty inside and outside. Pictures were very deceiving the chalet was very outdated and needed a lot of repair. We were disgusted and left to find an alternate place to stay. However, we did contact the management and we did get a full refund.

DO NOT RENT THIS PROPERTY
We are questioning if we will ever take a chance to stay at a VaCasa/VRBO property in the future. This miserable experience makes us feel like we were lured here only to be taken advantage of financially for a misrepresented property that in our opinion should never have been made available for rentals/bookings until significant changes have been made to the property. It is fraudulent and we feel violated by this nightmare of an experience. The home is in grave disrepair. It was dirty. We had to vacuum the entire place. I had to wash floors, sticky dirty. No internet/TV for a week. Sauna would not shut off the entire week keeping the house HOT in July. So many things wrong with this property that they don't allow enough characters here for me to explain. Broken couch and chairs. No screens on windows or patio door to cool the home. It was a nightmare. This impacted our vacation first time to Alaska, immensely.

In major need of updates/repairs!
Definitely not worth the money I paid to stay here 2 nights. Smelled like dogs-(Dog friendly house but we did not have dogs). Lesson learned. Not very clean at all. It looked nice but smelled a bit and felt dirty. Beds, bedding and pillows were super worn. In need of replacing. Windows flimsy with loose locks and broken framing on some. Hot water handle in downstairs bathroom was loose and coming off. Both bathrooms had cracked drains in the showers. Vents were super dusty. Hole in wall behind upstairs bathroom door. Hot tub water was cloudy and had small rocks and tree debris in it. Dishes were very used and scuffed up-Teflon-which is a health concern. Floor is uneven and feels very weak. Staircase railing is super loose and wiggling a lot, very unstable. The stairs also have huge gaps between the safety railing which I’m pretty sure is a building code violation. Also the stair steps are a bit sketchy, as they lean downwards and have slippery worn carpet. We slipped a few times on them. This house is in need of several updates and repairs. I would not stay here again until these were done. The neighborhood is great! Quiet and relaxing! And beautiful setting! The hot tub was nice after a day of skiing. Yes, even with the little rocks I was stepping on.

Skiing
The house is older but clean. It served the purpose of my husband and daughter skiing. It does need some TLC, especially with the furniture. Vacasa before I checked in was terrible via the reservations. Management when we were there was amazing. Connor, the guy who scoops snow was amazing. He went above and beyond his job.

Be a Landlord on your Vacation!! Mice, faulty wiring, fire alarms going off, no refunds!
Rented for two nights specifically for the hot tub, which was advertised with the listing. The hot tub didn't work, and when my travel partner placed her hand in the water she was shocked. Fire alarm started chirping in the middle of the night. Woke up to that and found mice all over. Reported the issues, spent most of the next day waiting for calls and to be moved to another property. Was asked to describe everything in detail, and wait around for the maintaince person to let them in to try to fix the hot tub. Was given about 0 percent off of our stay of two nights, and had to spend the second day one the phone with the company and moving. The cabin we moved to was in a construction area, but at that point we were just happy to not be surrounded by mice and facing possible electrocution. Prepare to be a fill in landlord if you stay here, and to pay money to do so.

Sauna was amazing
Great location in a quiet neighborhood that is walking distance to Virgin Creek Falls and Girdwood Brewing. The sauna was AMAZING! There was an issue with the hot tub heating up which we discovered the first night. I messaged them in the morning and they sent someone out on site that same morning to take a look at it. It wasn’t going to be fixed within our stay and we received a credit to offset. Communication was quick, polite, and helpful! They were able to accommodate a late check out which was the cherry on top. The house is older, dated, and could some repairs but it was very clean and welcoming. We had everything we needed and it was a delightful stay!

Good place, but....
This was a nice place to stay but could use some up keep on the property. There is a strong odor to the house. And this place is in a development, so nothing to private. The bedroom upstairs could use a cover over the window that over looks the main level and outside.

Great time in Girdwood, and affordable
The home is laid out well and we loved having two bathrooms. Plenty of hot water and my husband enjoyed the hot tub. It is definitely dated and needs some outside maintenance work, but it is clean and in a great location. We had an issue with a broken shower knob and two non-working lights, but the lights were fixed the same day and the shower the day after because a part had to come from Anchorage. Vacasa was very responsive.

Older but Okay
Needs some TLC upgrades, rotten wood, settling, broken tiles. Recliner was broken, Had one hair dryer that would only work on low, dishes were very basic, so if you plan to cook you will not be happy with this cabin. And several dishes and pans were dirty. Kitchen floor was dirty and toilet needed a good scrub and seats were very worn and needed to be replaced. It is in a very populated neighborhood and view of the mountain is blocked by another house, location was very close to ski resort and perfect for us to visit surrounding cities. Hot tub is on front porch, but we did not use because of all the mosquitos outside! Beds were very comfortable! Overall it was okay, just needs TLC and cleaning needs a little more attention to detail. We were offered late checkout which was great since we had a late flight back to Georgia.!
