This is a beautiful house, checked every box for our stay! Beautiful chalet style, with every amenity youâd 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.
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 didnât 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.
The property has very cool architecture & is surrounded by pretty woods. Itâs a short drive to the amenities in Girdwood as well as many nearby trails. It was well-stocked with kitchen supplies, extra towels, shampoo, conditioner & laundry detergentâŠall appreciated when youâre traveling & spending time outdoors. We enjoyed the hot tub & large dining table for eating & playing games. Beds were comfortable. We would stay here again!
Overall a great stay at this property. Everything we needed was provided and we enjoyed the cozy feeling being surrounded by mountains. The views from both of the larger bedrooms were great with huge windows.
We enjoyed this beautiful chalet for 2 nites from Jul 16-18 2025. Large and spacious for 4 adults with comfortable bedding and large rooms! Spotless and tidy, this chalet had all the amenities you would need - especially the kitchen! Furnishings were cozy and comfortable. The hot tub was a real treat after a long glacier cruise!Sarah communicated well with a detailed book provided with everything from the hot tub instructions to all the local dining spots making our short time more enjoyable.We really enjoyed our time at the Chalet and would recommend it to others! Thank you for sharing your Chalet with us Sarah!
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.
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.
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.
