Walk to the lifts from the front door of this super-cozy Alaskan cabin that features vaulted ceilings, lots of wooden embellishments, and tons of character! After a day on the slopes, thaw out in front of the fireplace, enjoy your favorite novel over the spacious chaise, or sprawl out in front of the TV for an evening of peace and relaxation. The full kitchen has been recently remodeled with all new appliances and countertops, and it now has a dishwasher! The kitchen is also equipped with all the tools you'll need to serve your guests that perfect homemade dinner.

What's Nearby:
Just steps away, Alyeska Mountain features 1,610 skiable acres, 76 named trails, and over 669' of annual snowfall. If you need a little more action than the chairlifts can provide, you can also get a day (or more) of Heli-Skiing for some amazing first tracks and vertical adventure. Afterward, grab a bite to eat at Jack Sprat or the Spritzmark which features outdoor seating and live music. If you need a day off from the slopes, book a private tour of the Girdwood Brewing Company then grab a pint and some awesome food truck grub afterward.

Nice weekend in the mountains
The cabin was perfect dor a weekend getaway with friends. A little musty when we first got there, but that cleared out pretty quickly. The beds were comfortable and the living space was cozy

Fall reset
Spacious and comfortable, especially ample seating. The bbq had mold built up inside so we chose not to cook outdoors-possibly from our moisture heavy summer. Fluffy powder room towels were lovely and nice art. We were curious about the medals displayed! Great stay! Hope its available this winter when we visit to ski!

Lovely property
Lovely property for 40 and under. Our group was much older and a little less mobile, so the chalet charms were more of an issue for us than would be for most. Once we found and turned on lights and fireplace, it was cozy and charming, definitely different design.

Honeymoon Retreat
Amazing location and feels like a cabin in the woods even though it’s walkable distance to most everything. The one recommendation I would make is for it to be 5 stars would be a better tankless water heater. I was never able to get a good shower longer than 5 minutes without it turning freezing cold- but would heat up to scorching if you turned the knob. If my husband had showered earlier that day you could forget about even getting 5 minutes worth of consistency. Other than that, this is the perfect getaway.

Didn’t want to leave
What a great place to stay. Not only did this house meet our needs but it’s location is perfect for seeing Alaska small town and out in the woods style. The red couch and benches gave all of us room to lounge and the fireplace was cozy after our mountain hikes/rafting trips. There is a donation only Bussing service to take you many places around Girdwood if you come by train. Crow Creek Mine, glacier/nature trail parks, and an animal conservation center are just a few activities close to this amazing house. We were a family of 6 adults and fit nicely in the space of this cabin. The kitchen held enough space for groceries to feed us for a week and the kitchen was well stocked in everything but glasses (5) and bowls (3). We got creative and made it work. Now as to the shower complaints that have been discussed in past reviews. FYI- this cabin has a tankless/on demand water heater. All 6 of us easily figured out how to use this heater. You literally need to turn it on, count to 15, test the water, adjust the knob, count to 15 again, test water, doing this until you have the temp you want. We didn’t need to move it but one time. Once you have it set to the right temp- take note as to where the arrow is and you can turn it off and on at the same place. We had our water temp set for the week.

Had a great week at the cabin. The location was close to Anchorage, had several hiking trails and was able to fish in Kenai and Seward. Hope to stay here again.
