Carriage House Accommodations

8/10 Good
"The setting was beautiful. The grounds were beautifully planted with flowers. There was evidence of construction activity and a blue tarp which is somewhat expected in summer Alaska, but still a bit of an eyesore when staying at a nice place. The interior is slightly dated and the common area is very small making it uncomfortable for more than one party to use the inside common area at one time. This is all in regarding the main house where there are three guest rooms in the downstairs of the hosts home. The host lives upstairs and is very friendly and stays on top of cleaning the kitchen in the morning and replenishing thing like coffee and fridge supplies. Footsteps can be heard above at times - it is what it is. Private bathrooms in each room is a very nice feature, but as stated before, a bit dated, but fully functional. Everything inside felt small and a bit cramped. Outside is very nice though and we enjoyed the hot tub very much, even though the chlorine was a bit strong. The gazebo that the hot tub is in is an incredible piece of wood working construction with massive 12x12 posts and curve-cut 12x12 beams creating a hexagonal timber-frame structure. It is impressive and very serene to sit in and enjoy the lush rainforest surroundings and tall trees. It is a very short walk to the Girdwood townsite by way of a foot bridge across the creek which adjacent to the property. The community bridge is just a short walk down the shoulder of Crow Creek road. Enjoy."
