John and Gail are the perfect hosts, which is definitely reflected in their rental properties - clean, cozy, and picturesque, but not over the top. Other reviewers mentioned a home-like quality, as if you lived there - we know exactly how they feel. Not that you can be too far away from anything in Girdwood, but Timberline is just far enough off of the beaten path to be very quiet with little car traffic. We rented the front unit, with it's 70's area sunken living room, which we really enjoyed - great fireplace! Given the age of the units, they are in really excellent condition, a testament to John and Gail's hard work and diligence in keeping up with cleaning and maintenance. They lightly provision the unit, which is especially helpful if you arrive late (we devoured the cookies and muffins!). We'll be back to Alyeska - need to finish up snowboarding lessons! - and we will not even consider staying anywhere else. Thanks John and Gail! BTW - if Coda needs a warm weather vacation, you can send him to us anytime!
