We had a great time in late July 2025 staying at the Carriage House in the “Tecumseh's Stall”. The "stall" was once part of the old carriage house /stables but had been sectioned off and really felt like a separate cabin. The 2-room cabin had a private parking spot, a microwave and small refrigerator, and a coffee maker with freshly ground coffee which was wonderful in the morning.
The location was great with easy access to the town of Girdwood and the Alyeska resort. A pleasant surprise was that the old Crow Creek Mine is just a short distance from the Carriage House and made a great morning visit.
Rachael was a tremendous hostess. Her pre-arrival text laid out everything we needed to know, as well as providing information on how to gain access to the cabin if we arrived later in the evening. Her pre-arrival text provided details, with links, on things to do around the area and there was further information in the cabin.
Our only regret is that we did not eat dinner at the “Double Musky Inn” steakhouse across the road, which is highly recommended both by locals and visitors. We instead ate at the “7 Glaciers” restaurant at the Alyeska Resort which had a fun tram-ride up & back and great views. We had eaten there on another trip and very much enjoyed it. The experience this time was sub-par...
Read moreWe did an overnight as a getaway weekend from Anchorage and were very pleased with the accommodations and service. Our room was comfortable, our hosts were very helpful, breakfast was tasty, and the setting, on a large wooded lot on Crow Creek Road, was beautiful. The hot tub, in particular, is nicely situated in a gazebo with a clear roof. We were in one of three ground-floor rooms in the main building. There appears to be at least one other two-story building, and I'm not sure if it's divided into different rooms or rented as a whole. For our building, access was up one step from a gravel parking lot. There is a breakfast area when you enter, with a small sitting room that can become a bedroom and three separate bedrooms with private baths off of the breakfast area. The rooms I saw were spacious but the bathroom might present problems for someone with a wheelchair or walker due to the placement of the door. Doorways were standard width. The breakfast area has a small table with chairs and an eating bar with stools. The kitchen is small but pretty well equipped. The hosts will do their best to accommodate dietary requirements if given notice. On our visit, breakfast included delicious homemade banana bread. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to...
Read moreBeautiful location right near the center of Girdwood in a beautiful secluded setting. We stayed in the Hayloft and, for a small fee, added the breakfast option at the main house. The added breakfast was well worth the cost. Our hosts were very friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. They communicated with us in a timely manner and offered great tips for making the most of the area. The accommodations had a full kitchen with enough spices, bakeware, and utensils that we could cook our own meal when we didn't want to eat out. Other amenities included wifi, tv, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, coffee, creamer, and more. The property preserved the beauty of the wild landscape while also adding nicely groomed additions that showed great care for the location. The woodwork in the main house was stunning! Although we didn't have a chance to use it, there is a hot tub that all guests have access to use. The Winner Creek Hiking Trail is just up the road leading to the Alyeska Lodge with many beautiful spots along the way. We also hiked the north face of Mt. Alyeska, taking the tram back down. It offered beautiful views of the seven peaks and glaciers that surround Girdwood. This bed and breakfast is highly...
