This is a nice little place but a tight space for a family, which is why I gave it 4 stars. The beds and bathroom were in good shape and the location is great.

The house is located in a small town midway to Whittier Cruise terminal. From there one can take to trekking or see the entire Girwood on the free shuttle. The whole town is overshadowed by snowy mountains full of 200 feet tall green trees. That makes the whole appearance absolutely picturesque with plenty of photo opportunities for everyone.

The Inn was lovely, and we could bring our dog into a shared lodge style accommodation which was great! Had a bit of trouble booking in online due to an interntational credit card issue, but other than that it was a great place to stay.

This isn’t for everybody! We had been on a long flight from FL and arriving to a code entry was terrible….is like going on a treasure hunt to figure out your room number which the code is your phone number. I was tired and all I wanted was to get in my room. There is not staff at any time. Hair dryer was broken and blankets and pillows smelled. Sheets were clean but only 2 towels for a 4 people reservation.

Great location with good restaurants nearby. The room was very very small, had to leave our luggage in the car as no space in the room. Bed comfortable, room warm. Nice down stairs area to sit and read thankfully as nowhere in room to sit other than bed. Got ‘locked out’ of room. Didn’t like the ‘smart door’ room code access. Had to call for help to reset the codes…
