8/10
PROS: This secluded cottage/chalet had old world rustic charm. We loved the living room benches that looked like they were used for entertaining guests. The kitchen had everything we needed from silverware to full appliances. Dish and laundry detergent(full washer and dryer)were provided. There is one bedroom with a double bed downstairs and loft steps that lead to a double bed and 3 twins upstairs. The bathroom also had a cabin style feel to it with an open shower and dressing area. The property manager provided shampoo, conditioner, soap, and a blow dryer. We had no issues with the shower temperature. Just turn the knob a little more than 3/4 of the way around and give it a minute to warm up. It was perfect for skiing at Alyeska. I wouldn’t say ski in/out, but just a short walk to the resort. The cottage is within walking distance or a short drive to restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again. It became like home after a day.
CONS: The front door lock is a little tricky. Follow the directions carefully. It’s an older house, so the upstairs floor and loft stairs are very creaky. I had to move downstairs to sleep. The water system makes strange sounds after running/flushing water. A few items were already broken (kitchen drawer, sliding door in loft) when we arrived, so make sure you notify the property manager right away. The outside landscaping is grown high just like the rest of Girdwood. Bring very strong bug spray.(this is for Alaska in general)
