My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. The heated floors in the living room was so appreciated with our single digit and minus temps after coming in from outside. . The view of the lights on the mountain from the back porch/hot tub area was amazing! And the hot tub was a pleasant 104. Perfect! Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay at Iris Pond. The property is located close to several amenities in town. The hot tub was nice after long days of hiking. The kitchen had all the untensils/cookware we needed. Would definitely stay again.

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.

Private gem in Girdwood

I brought my family, 6 people total, to stay in Girdwood. It was the perfect location for day trips to Anchorage, Seward, Whittier. The home was private with a great view of Mount Alyeska. I would love to book this beautiful home again.

Perfect home away from home

We saw Moose in the yard !! Great views from the back porch. Very comfortable home. We had everything we needed to enjoy our Alaska stay. We used Girdwood as our home base. Convenient to all ! Downtown Girdwood has great places to eat. Awesome stay !

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!!!

Fantastic moose viewing.

The hot tub was a treat to top off a day of hiking. Interesting inside architecture . We saw an adult Moose 2 mornings in a row within 25 ft of the back door. He was just munching away one day and the next morning laying down eating. Such a treat for these East Coast visitors!

Iris Pond is a piece of heaven.

The character of the home was enchanting. The view-- a picture of heaven with the trees framing the mountains while a nearby stream babbles in the background. Truly awe inspiring. An experience my family and I loved.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
I always use VRBO, I was not allowed early check in, due to them saying they needed time to clean, which no one was even staying ahead of us. When I arrived the house was very dirty, not cleaned and the hot tub was filthy. I’m very disappointed with my stay. The house was beautiful and needs updating. The couch was filthy and the blinds were all broken. This house could be so beautiful if taken care of. The views outside were amazing.

Beautiful but needs attention.

Iris Pond is a beautiful home with a beautiful view. The only reasons I didn’t give it 5 stars are due to maintenance. Window coverings are broken and can’t be kept up in 2 bedrooms, light bulbs are burned out through out the home, the 2 upstairs bedrooms have very uncomfortable beds, hot tub has no way to add water after using. It feels very private and lends itself well to a group of 6. The kitchen is fully appointed although a 4 slice toaster would be nice…. Even with these shortcomings., I would recommend it for a getaway…

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.
