Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Enjoy one of the best views in Girdwood in a home that has been painstakingly remodeled to be modern and comfortable. Alyeska Ski Resort is located only .3 miles away from your front door, making a short walking trip to the base of the resort easy for you and your fellow travelers. The base also is home to a handful of restaurants and sports shops. The surrounding mountains offer several locations for hiking and mountain biking, both great ways to get the full Alaskan experience in the warm months. If you crave more urban experiences, Anchorage - with its restaurants, shops, museums, and zoo - is a 41.2-mile drive. The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is 14.5 miles away.
This spacious home offers its guests a luxury mountain experience. The large windows offer lots of natural light as well as stunning views of the Alaska mountains and woods, also visible from the expansive balconies and decks. Enjoy the feel of a modern cabin kitchen with a ceramic farmhouse sink and open wooden shelves. Stay in and cook a gourmet dinner with a gas range, oven, and full-size french-door stainless refrigerator that allow you to make your own meals. A large dining room table is adjacent with plenty of room for your whole group. Also downstairs is a recreation area, complete with a dartboard and game table. This space doubles as a large staging area for adventure, with plenty of room to spread out your gear or for the kids to play. After a long day enjoying an adventure in Alaska (hiking, biking, glacier tours, wildlife viewing, paragliding, kite surfing, fishing, hunting, and skiing are all within an hour's drive), relax and unwind in our six-person hot tub.

Annual girls trip, house was as advertised- cannot beat the location or those views! We were able to walk to Jack Sprat and trails across the street. Property was clean and there were plenty of games and blankets. My only complaint is that we were given a very small amount of toilet paper (1 and 1/2 small rolls for 4 women) and we did not know where to take the trash. No big deal- would recommend, would stay again and the hot tub was fantastic on those rainy evenings!

Clean. Well appointed kitchen allowed us to cook nightly. Comfortable beds. Washer and hot tub both smelled a little musty. Fantastic view! Would definitely stay again.

Our family booked this home for our vacation. It was cebtrally located to everything we wanted to see. We made several day trips to other parts of Alaska from here. We did not realize this was the weekend of the forest fair, but we felt like we had a lot of privacy. It was very quiet. The views were stunning!

Very nice relaxing property. Very easy to communicate with property managers and the description of the chalet was accurate.
Very nice view of the mountains from the living room.

Pictures will not do the view any justice. Probably one the best views in Girdwood. Large dining table and living room for large groups. Only one restroom. No closets but plenty of places to hang and store clothes. Upstairs deck half closed (marked only by thin rope) due to beam below broken. No signs to clarify the danger as I have many small nephews and nieces. Vacasa was useless when it came to figuring out where we take our trash when it was full. Used family’s dumpster.
Beyond that the house was amazing and exactly what we were looking for and would stay again.

Great location! Our family of 5 adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House was clean and well stocked. Beds were very comfortable. Would definitely recommend this house!

First of all…the management group is horrible. The property was not ready until an hour late. When we communicated to them, the response was severely delayed. For instance, power went out and I texted them at 8PM if there was a generator and we didn’t get a response until after 6AM the next morning. Also, we texted them that we had a full bag of trash…and then two and asked if they had a “bear safe” trash can to drop our bags until check out and they didn’t. But we asked if they would come pick it up and they said someone would contact us in the AM…never happened. I have never stayed in a place that would not respond or accommodate a request. The owners need to ditch this management team. As for the home, it was comfortable. The home was not clean at check in. There were broken potato chips and seeds around a corner table. Also, there were unpopped kernels under the sofas. I re-vacuumed the main room at check in. I’ve NEVER done that before. The home is nice, upstairs kitchen, dining and living was very comfortable. Downstairs are the sleeping rooms and bathroom. The bathroom was clean, spacious and private. A nice mud room at entry. Rooms we’re comfortable. Someone complained on a previous review about the deck partially roped off but it does effect your stay at all. Nice outside grill, nice inside gas kitchen and refrigerator. Washer and dryer are nice. There are stairs which may not be ideal for older couples. The property is on a main drive so there is a lot of noise.

Mountains and a glacier right out the living room window. I loved the color choices. Furniture was comfortable. Only one bathroom, but it was nice. The kids loved using the hot tub in the rain.

This cabin is situated perfectly in Girdwood. It was “home base” for everything we wanted to do in Seward, Whittier, Anchorage, etc. View was so nice each morning! Well stocked with all essentials we needed.

Good location. Beautiful view. Well outfitted. Watch the deck. Half of it is roped off and about to collapse.

From the pics online, we were in love with this house. I planned the trip for my parents, husband, and me back in February so it was quite surreal to finally be there. I loved all the attention to details that went in to making our stay extra special and “homey”. The big widow view was our favorite. We spent every morning admiring the mountains. Although this was unseasonably wet September, it didn’t matter. I think it just added to the areas mystique. Watching the clouds and mist roll across the mountains was beautiful. Girdwood is such a quaint little town. Everyone so nice and helpful. The hubs and I are already talking about going back.
5.0 / 5.0
Great spot in a cute town. The views from this home are incredible, even during our cloudy/rainy 4 days here. Walk to restaurants is easy. Place was VERY clean and had everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. Hot tub was a great asset too! Our kids loved the bunk room and toys and books they had. Would highly recommend!

Lovely mountain view from the living and dining room. Laundry and dishwasher; well stocked kitchen. Right across the street from a walking trail and meadow. Convenient to Girdwood and Alyeska Resort.

Exactly as described, pictures don’t do the view justice. Close enough to walk to shops and restaurants in Girdwood, yet also private and quiet. Hot tub was great addition.
4.0 / 5.0
Loved the location. Close to resort, restaurants, and hiking/biking trails. Great coffee shop within 6-8 min walk.
Family/tv room has a beautiful view…open and a lot of light. Everything was clean. Limited supplies…only one toilet paper roll (other VRBOs we’ve having been staying at have full supplies of paper towels/toilet paper, etc). Get your supplies in Anchorage because local grocery store is very expensive. Great big wooden dining table (not shown in pictures)…seats many. Newly renovated kitchen with plenty of pans/kitchen utensils. Decent blackout curtains/blinds in bedrooms for summertime. Hot tub was a plus…therapeutic grade. Great after hiking. Deck needs some repairs. Be careful of loose rails.
Our main issue was the lack of communication with property manager. Payment became due but no email, reminder, or link provided to pay for it. I sent a message through VRBO app but no response. When I finally found a number to call, they reported they had tried to run the credit card but said it was denied. They did not try to call us nor does our credit card company report any decline. Then when we arrived in area, they had sent the wrong directions to the house. Ended up at another location. When using Google Maps, it gave a rough area but we missed the driveway because there aren’t any markings at the road/entrance. Other properties have flower planters/addresses at the street but not this one. In the summer it’s very thick with trees/bushes, and the house was very difficult to locate.
Overall, we liked the layout (other than only one bathroom) and would stay there again.

Perfect for family!
This place is amazing. The views that you see in the online pictures won't disappoint...you'll want to sit in the living room and marvel at the mountains. This place was IMMACULATE...and that's saying something coming from us because we are neat freaks! Very well equipped kitchen which was perfect because we make most of our own meals. We had my wife and I, 3 adult children and two kiddos, total of 7, and we were very comfortable. Only downside is the single bathroom but you just have to plan ahead. Perfect location for sightseeing/hiking in the area, and I would imagine if you're a skiier and here in the winter it would be great for that too.

Great location
Nice location. Enjoyed the walks around the area in the evening. Cooked most meals - house is nicely equipped for that including a gas grill, which was nice. Hot tub was a nice touch after a long day.

Wonderful!
Perfect place for 2 adults and 3 teens! Plenty of room, gorgeous view, loved the mud room/many hooks for hanging all our wet hiking clothes. We loved Girdwood as well- perfect central location for exploring Alaska!

Lovely View and Location
The view is amazing, as is the location in Girdwood. We did quite a bit of driving to different areas and for different experiences. The grill worked great as did everything else. Kitchen is well stocked! The Alyeska resort and hotel just up the street has 2 awesome restaurants, hiking trails and a Tram/Gondola ride to the top of the mountain where there is another lovely restaurant with quite a view. Walking trails across the street are also very nice and easy to use.
We used the hot tub on average once a day for sure. Was perfect!

Excellent vacation space!
In a word - wonderful! We chose this spot based on great photos and fantastic reviews and it exceeded our expectations as far as close views of the mountains! The kitchen is so well equipped, and hot tub and washer/dryer great bonuses. A perfect place for our family of 6 and two under 2 😊! Lots of games and toys to entertain little ones. Thanks for sharing a perfect place for our family - would highly recommend!!

Perfect home in the forest, yet close to everything
Even though the photos are great, this home is even better in person. It was one of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed anywhere over the last 20 years. The views out of the wall of windows are incredible. Everything was spotless. The house is very thoughtfully done with a dart board and cork protection around it so I didn’t need to tell my kids to be more careful. The furniture and beds were super comfortable. We all wanted to stay longer.
We walked to great restaurants from the house and also cooked multiple meals in the kitchen. We had everything we needed and more. We walked to hiking trails from the home. We saw a black bear about half a mile away along a trail we had just hiked. We are planning to return. Thanks for sharing your home.

Perfect place to stay in Alaska!
This house was great for us! There were 2 couples and the space was perfect for us. The view is the best in the town, the location is great and the house was very comfortable. We loved our stay in Alaska and staying in Girdwood gave us a great central location to see and do so much! I highly recommend staying at the Moose Meadow Chalet!

The best place in Girdwood!
Gorgeous property! Fantastic view!
Home was beautiful and very well taken care of.
It was perfect for our family of 8.
We enjoyed the hot tub! We even got to see wildlife out the window- bear and moose!
The only thing a parent may want to be made aware of, is this house is located on a busier street. My kids are older and don’t run away, but if you have a toddler who hasn’t mastered staying close by and obeying when you say “stop” then know that there is a busy road at the end of 30’ish driveway (front stairs to driveway length)
There are kid toys around the house which is a bonus! And lots of places to hang wet clothes/ shoes.
Lots of extra details and care for into this propert for guests and we LOVED it!

What a Fabulous View!
We absolutely loved this house. It has a great location, great view and is well maintained. The house has everything that could be needed in the kitchen as well as throughout the house. The only bummer is that it only has one bathroom and a tiny washer and dryer BUT the rest of the house more than makes up for those minor inconveniences!!! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful home. Wonderful expierience.
My family and I have stayed in A LOT of Airbnbs, VRBOS and Vacasas across the world and this one ranks near the very top. Sweeping, stunning views. Open comfortable living space. And, importantly, a tremendous amount of thought and effort put into the comfort of the guests. The kitchen is well equipped with high quality pots, pans and appliances. It's also stocked with essentials like olive oil, sugar, salt, pepper, etc. (very few rental places are). The hot tub is immaculately maintained and the the towels, linens and pillows are supplied in abundance. Can't say enough good things about this place. Well worth it!

Great views, comfortable beds, perfect getaway place!
Perfect location, amazing views out the windows. The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom large. It was quiet and we could walk to Alyeska and several trails. In winter you could walk to the ski slopes or a very quick drive to the lodge if you didn't want to walk/ski there. Clean and updated. Love the big dining table and lots of sofa space.
