“Wonderful Host, Great Location” My extended family and I spent part of our time at this house in Girdwood during our recent alaska vacation. Mark and Shoman were wonderful hosts during our stay. This house was spacious for our family of 9 with ample room to spare. The location was great as it was centrally located for many day trips including anchorage, Seward, Portage Glacier and Whittier. The picturisque alyeska Ski resort as well as the Seward Highway are minutes away from this home as well. Mark and Shoman have taken a lot of effort to immaculately decorate the house in an asian theme. The traditional wooden Japanese tub, Steam bath and various curios around the house added to the wonderful experience. While Girdwood has a functioning town center, our host rightfully recommended that we stock up our groceries in anchorage. I would definitely come back here for our next alaska trip. In the meantime, Mark and Shoman are welcome to our home in Texas as well. Recommended for: Adventure Seekers, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children

About Girdwood, Alaska
Girdwood is a peaceful resort town that’s situated within the Municipality of Anchorage.
But, it’s just far away enough from the main city to be off the main tourist train, ensuring you can enjoy a peaceful retreat.
You'll find it in the heart of a valley in the Chugach Mountains, surrounded by seven glaciers. So, it's no surprise that there are spectacular views from almost every angle!
Girdwood housed miners during 1890s. This was part of the famous gold rush era. But, it’s now a popular tourist spot for those looking to get away.
The community of Girdwood is small and tight-knit, but they all love the outdoors. Get them talking about their favorite pursuits, or ask for some tips, and you'll be firm friends in no time.
Fans of snow sports often come here for the Alyeska Resort – it's a great place to practice your tricks and there's almost always great snow.
What to do
During the winter, skiing and snowboarding are top of the bill.
But, in the summer they make way for hiking, fishing and rafting. If you're a fan of outdoor pursuits, this is the place for you!
In July, the Girdwood Forest Fair gets into full swing, bringing people in from all over the US. Time your trip to coincide with this and you'll be in for an exciting weekend.
Take a tour of the glaciers to learn about the land and marvel at their natural beauty.
If you fancy learning a little about Girdwood's history, take a gold panning tour, too.
Nearby is the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center – it's definitely worth a visit. Orphaned, injured and ill animals that can't survive in the wild come here to live and thrive.
From coyotes to eagles and grizzlies to wood bison, there's a huge range of animals here. It's a great day out for the kids, too!
