Overview
Perfect for a ski getaway with friends or a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of normal life, this beautiful lodge is ready for your next adventure! With vaulted ceilings that let in plenty of natural light, rustic decor, and an open layout, entertaining larger groups and spreading out will be a breeze. Head out to the front porch or back deck each morning to breathe in that crisp air with a fresh cup of coffee. Don't worry about cold floors in the morning - both bathrooms and the entryway are warmed by electrical floor heat. After a full day of shredding fresh powder up north or hiking nearby, there will be no better way to settle down and soothe tired muscles than a session in the classic cedar barrel sauna (powered by wood) right outside the front door! Plus, the chef of the group can easily whip up a tasty meal for the whole group on all of the appliances of home in the full kitchen. Come summer, the private gas grill will come in handy for family cookouts as the sun dips behind the trees. The baker of the group will enjoy the use of cookie sheets, mixing bowls, a hand mixer, and other bakeware. What's nearby: Sitting just two-and-a-half miles from Alyeska, the skiers of the group will have endless runs and fresh powder within a few minutes of the front door. Enjoy the use of the free town shuttle to get around! While in the area, be sure to take a break from the mountain and check out the charming shops, restaurants, and cafes that are scattered throughout the town. If you are wanting to take a day trip into downtown Anchorage, you are only 39 miles away making for an easy commute into the vibrant city. Beluga whales can be seen chasing the silver salmon in the glacial waters of Turnagain Arm. This home is located also on the only road that heads south out of Anchorage, so guests will be easily connected to other towns in the region.

The home and location were perfect! It was easy to get to all the key spots in Girdwoord and beyond. Plenty of room and nice touches throughout the house!
We arrived and the keypad was missing #'s and one was part of code. Had to call for help with entry after a 10 hour drive there. There was no towels at all and place was dirty with used bed linens. It took over 24 hrs. to resolve and I requested 1 free night refund out of the 3 night stay and was not granted that. We had to do the cleaning and scrubbing of soap scum in bathrooms, especially glass doors on shower! Found hair elastics in bed and on floors and makeup and toothpaste spit in sink upon arrival. Children's crayons under lazy-susan on table!
We loved staying here. The home was clean and we had plenty of room for our family of six. It was our first time in Alaska and the location of the home was great for exploring Girdwood, Chugach National Forest, Whittier, and doing a day trip to Kenai Fjords National Park.
We loved staying here! It was a perfect location for our little family's snowy getaway. We loved how it was not right on the road and tucked away in the trees. It was a perfect cabin for our toddler to play around in and for us to relax. We will definitely look to book it again!
We loved the place and its location
Perfect for 2 couples w 2 king size comfortable beds. Quiet location just outside of town. Enjoyed dinner at Jack Sprat, and the brewery (great IPA) had a taco truck. Loved the train out to Spencer Glacier and the beautiful hike.
