Lovely place in Girdwood. We were happy to be near hiking/biking and day trips to Whittier and Anchorage. We loved the super short hike to Virgin Falls - which runs not far from the house. We also hiked the spectacular 8 mile round trip up Crow Creek to the Raven Glacier. Alaska is always beautiful rain or shine and the Girdwood Gem had large kitchen, bathroom and space to relax and unwind after a long day of adventure. Thank you! ##### Ellen W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paulette F. 31 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The place was great! It had wonderful mountain views. Its back up the mountain a little ways, but it was easy to get to. Check -in was also easy, and the bed was very comfortable. I have back issues, and has zero sleeping on the bed. It has a well equipt kitchen. All the things you could need. The appliances are modern. It also has a very nice bathroom. I highly recommend! I would rent again on my next business trip. ##### Paulette F. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025
