Beautiful cabin but could not enjoy the porch
We had 3 couples and we all enjoyed the inside of the cabin. It is centrally located in Girdwood and it was easy to go where ever we wanted to from the cabin. The neighbors are close. The view from the back windows and back porch was stunning! The only thing we did not like was the large step down from the back door to the back porch. We would have all been in and out that door a lot but we only went out a couple times because the step really seemed dangerous. One of the couples in our group have a VRBO and they could not believe how unsafe that step was. An accident waiting to happen.

Girdwood Alyeska Ski Trip
Location was good, 2 minutes to town, 4 minutes to ski area! Hot tub with a view of the slopes was awesome! The woodwork and craftsmanship of the home was fantastic! The place could probably use a fresh coat of paint and updated floor coverings where applicable, but otherwise it was great!!!

Very comfortable stay
Our family (two grandparents, 2 parents, and 2 kids) really enjoyed spending 4 nights here in July. Beds were comfortable, the house was spacious, the hot tub was amazing with views looking out over forest and mountain. From here we did several day trips: Spencer Glacier Whistle Stop tour, Philips 26 Glacier Cruise out of Whittier, the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, and the Crow Creek Mine. We had a wonderful time and would recommend! Just one thing to point out- the twin bed is on the upstairs landing so would not work for someone sensitive to summer light (no blackout curtains here) or noise from the living room area below- our 8 year old slept here and loved it though.

Great house in a great location
This was a great house for my family of 6. We really enjoyed the location, views, and hot tub. We could easily walk to the main area of Girdwood. There was plenty of space for all of us to hang out in the living room area. Overall a great and easy stay.

This is a great area to stay if you are doing your own self drive Alaskan trip. We liked that Girdwood allowed us to travel to Kenai Fjords, Portage Glacier and the wildlife preserve with ease. House is beautiful. Very large, only three of us on this trip and it was way too big for us. The only issue we had was trying to find the trash dumpster (we drove around and around twice and still couldn’t locate). Comfortable beds, beautiful kitchen.

Wonderful cozy cabin in the woods
Everyone in our party kept complimenting the home daily! It was very well stocked with everything we needed. Beautiful surroundings and many hikes nearby. The Tram was worth the price for me as well. Another memorial vacation and anniversary in the books!

Our stay was fabulous, the location is perfect, and the backyard view is breathtaking. My family loved this spot the best of all the places we stayed during our visit to AK. The sounds of the creek in the back was an added bonus. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Setting
Although communication with Vacassa was atrocious the stay at the home was amazing. I didn't receive check-in information until less than 24 hours prior to check-in even though I messaged them 2 times the week prior to our trip. I also messaged them during our stay and have never received a response to any of the 3 messages. The listing states that the PM responds within hours, they do not. Once we were at the property it was amazing. The home was very inviting, spotless, very homey and comfortable. The area was safe. The property was beautiful and the stream right outside our bedroom was music to my ears. We were close to restaurants, stores and attractions. I highly recommend the property, the property management company, nt so much.

Girdwood ski trip
This house was perfect. Great kitchen and gathering space that we could all cook meals together and sit down and have dinner. The hot tub was amazing, and that view. We came for a ski trip, short drive to the mountain and into town or a 20 ish minute walk.

Mountain Side Retreat
We had a great staycation over the long holiday weekend! This was our second stay and it was just as great as we remembered. Perfect for large families or a small group of friends with plenty of space to spread out. We loved that the kitchen comes fully equipped.... seriously you will have all the tools to make any kind of meal! The hot tub with mountain views is just what you need at the end of a long day on the mountain. What we most appreciated was the responsiveness of the Vacasa management company. Girdwood was having some weird fluctuations in weather and the driveway ended up becoming a skating rink. I called Vacasa and they had someone out to gravel within 15 minutes. If you're looking for a lodge like experience with all the comforts of home, we highly recommend!

Five Nights at Iris Pond VRBO
Beautiful home with spacious open floor plan, gorgeous craftsmanship on timbers inside and out, custom woodwork cabinetry and furniture. We saw a black bear dining in berries in the backyard bush within an hour of arriving! Enjoyed the hot tub after a day of hiking the beautiful rainforest of Girdwood and Alyeska. I would strongly recommend Iris Pond to anyone headed to fantastic Girdwood, Alaska. G Man Cincinnati, Ohio

Stunning custom home in a superb location!
Fantastic stay! Great location that backs up to a creek with a nice 4 person hot tub! The custom post and beam construction is exceptional and the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. Having stayed at numerous properties, this one was truly memorable for the unique characteristics it offered. We can't wait to come back to enjoy it again! The downstairs bedroom was incredibly hot through the duration of our stay (the thermostat didn't seem to have any affect on this). The online listing had also previously stated there was a king sized bed downstairs when we booked and it was actually a queen sized bed upon our arrival. These did not take away from the phenomenal offerings of this property and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Girdwood gem
We enjoyed our stay at this home in Girdwood. It was in the rainforest and you could even hear a little creek in the backyard. The view out the back windows was great. The wood features and vaulted ceiling made the home welcoming and perfect for the ski area. We got breakfast at the bakery just down the road and made a couple meals. We would recommend this home to other families.
