Our stay was very relaxing, exactly what we needed. The upstairs bedroom has a very large comfortable bed. The hot tub was lovely. We were there before ski season began so there isn’t a whole lot to do around Girdwood but hike, eat and relax, which works for us! The people in town are friendly and helpful.
