About this chalet rental
Come relax in this adorable 2 bedroom, 2 bath, and loft, Ski Chalet. Master bedroom has 1 king bed, spare room has 1 queen bed, and the loft also has 1 queen bed and 1 air mattress. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you may need, that's if you get sick of eating at all the delicious restaurants in the area, Double Musky, Jack Sprat, and Chair 5, just to name a few of our favorites. This is the perfect home away from home for all your Girdwood adventures. After a long day of skiing, hiking, mountain biking, or fishing, come relax next to the fire place, or take a dip in the new hot tub! We are on a large corner lot, easy to find, yet secluded. Peek-a-boo mountain views from all the front windows allow you to check out the mountain conditions. The chalet is roughly .5 miles from the resort. Its up hill on the way to the resort, so skiing home would be a breeze. Just a short drive brings you to the impressive cross country skiing trail system, in case downhill just isn't your thing. Alyeska has recently opened up an extensive mountain biking trail system for you summer adventurers. There are ample hiking trails in the area, including Winner Creek, a favorite of mine. Girdwood is a great middle ground to explore towns south of anchorage as well! A short 25 miles south is the town of Whittier, highly recommended for fishing or a sight seeing tour of Prince William Sound, which offers an abundance of marine life in the summer months. Orcas, Humpbacks, otters, and birds to name a few. Keep driving south and you'll find yourself in Seward, Kenai, Soldotna, and Homer.

Was amazing view and great neighborhood a lot to do and great location

The house was not clean. Lots of dirt and dog hair on carpet and tile. We spent much of the second day cleaning. The kitchen table had numerous spots of paint or dirt. We covered it with a sheet and did the same with the sofa which looked old and had stains. We found someone’s underwear under the sofa. The front steps from the ground up to the deck are not safe. I put some rocks there to help. Both toilets needed cleaning. The bottom sheet on the upstairs bed had blood spots. Part of our cleaning was to wash the sheets. The washer and dryer are new and worked great. The whole unit could use some TLC. I called the owner numerous times our first day and he seemed unconcerned about our issues. He did finally agree to refund us some of our fee. The neighborhood is quiet and many things to do and see all within a days drive. If we come back we’ll find a different unit.

We love staying at the chalet so much that we have done so three times. Located in a quiet neighborhood with all the things you need to relax after a day of hiking or sightseeing. The chalet is clean and comfortable. We especially like having access to the hot tub. The owner is very responsive if there are any questions.

Great property
Stay was great. House was as listed. Great for a family, lots of space. The hottub was a little dirty, so that would be my only complaint. Would stay here again.

We were totally blessed to have an opportunity to visit Alaska! And to find a place with an outdoor hot tub! Our host Mike was prompt and informative. Definitely recommend!

Perfect place to unwind
This is a great location with things to do in all directions. Or a great place to do nothing at all. The accommodations are cozy and inviting, we definitely took advantage of that on a bad weather day to just sit by the fire and do nothing. The hot tub is welcome after a long hike or kayaking out to portage glacier. The owner Mike is great to work with and responds promptly. Will definitely look for this listing again in the future.

This is the second time we have stayed at the chalet. It is the perfect place near all the things we like to do. The two private bedrooms are great for two couples. The living room with large sofa comfortably seated us all. The kitchen had all necessary tools for preparing our meals.

Awesome Anniversary Celebration!
The cabin was great! The yard around the front porch could use a little attention. Everything was comfortable and relaxing. Some friends we had not seen in a number of years moved to Alaska and we were able to visit with them. We ventured out and saw marvelous scenery - not like the flat lands of Florida! Location of the cabin to area attractions is the BEST! The local eating establishments are fantastic! We plan to visit Alaska again and hope this cabin will be available then!

Not too far from the highway, close to the little town of Girdwood on one side and the Alyeska resort on the other. Host was responsive and place was clean, stocked with basic household supplies. Happy we chose to stay here.

We were excited to get away and were hoping to find a darling little cabin. Unfortunately, it’s not all it’s made out to be. Exposed wiring, no screens on the windows, dog hair everywhere just to name a few things. It has plenty of room which is nice and the location is beautiful, if you don’t mind the people racing up and down the street. Overall it just was okay...

Lovely home with a view!
The house was lovely! Roomy and filled with touches of Alaska. Lots of extra toiletries and the hot tub was awesome! It has a Mountain View and is close to town. We would definitely stay again!

So grateful for the fabulous stay at the Girdwood home. We enjoyed the multiple bedrooms for our family of four. The kids loved all of the extras, as this house has so many fun and kid friendly games and interesting things to do like the high loft. Access to Alyeska ski was so easy too. Parking was nice and plowed.
So grateful.

Cute Cabin
This cabin is in a subdivision but it feels like you're in the woods instead. Super clean, has everything you need and is in a great location to a lot of activities.

Highly recommended!
Location - Perfect! This property is a 10 min walk from the virgin creek waterfall! Girdwood is beautifully surrounded by mountains, and is a day trip from seward, whittier, cooper landing, conservation center, byron glacier, etc.. The town has restaurants, a grocery store, and trails.
House: Great! I loved the deck, it had a nice breeze of pine from the trees around the property. Inside was very comfortable, the couch was great, and it was luxurious amount of space for two people. Wifi was fast enough for both of us who were working remotely daily. We also saw a small moose down the road on our first day :)
A month was not long enough to be here.. quite possibly the best place I've ever stayed.

Once again we enjoyed our stay. The house is close to the ski area but in a really quiet neighborhood. Mike was easy to work with and we appreciated having the nice clean hot tub after each great day of skiing.

Great House, Great Location. Kitchen a little dated but very functional. I highly recommend!

I can't express how impressed we were with this chalet. It was exactly as described, other than having a new glass-topped stove and full-size refrigerator. There are more than adequate cookware and utensils supplied, and the pantry is stocked with all the essentials. The hot tub was a nice luxury after a day of skiing in subfreezing temperatures. I would definitely recommend this property for those looking for comfortable lodging in Girdwood.
