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.

Adorable Cabin with great location

This was a great little cabin with easy access to all of the things our family wanted to do. There was more than enough space for our family, the beds were comfortable, the amenities were great, and the house was clean. We also had several moose encounters!

Wonderful!!

We had a wonderful girls stay here! The beds were so comfortable and cozy. We loved the light from the windows. The sauna is amazing. We love coffee in the morning and night, so we were disappointed that we had 1 bag for our whole stay.

Good location not very private

All beds were comfortable, quiet, good location to all activities, comfortable and cozy. Kitchen was not fully stocked, checkout is very early at 10am and they aren’t flexible in that at all. Property management is slow to respond

Misleading

The pictures are misleading. The beautiful windows in the picture face other properties on all sides. This property was $1000 more than another property and we were told we had to provide toilet paper AND coffee. ( the other property provided both).

Locked sauna

The sauna was locked so it was inaccessible. Neither the information online nor in the house gave any guidance about how to get access to the sauna if it is locked. Even reaching out to customer service was not helpful for this as it seems the agent was also not provided this information. By the time we were given information on how to access the locked sauna we no longer had the time.

We had a nice stay here before flying home to Michigan. It was comfortable, convenient, and relaxing. The area was beautiful and there was great food nearby. We would love to spend more time here the next chance we get to visit Alaska.

Awesome Home!

This house had a great layout and slept 6 of us comfortably! It is updated and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook great meals when we were not eating out. The beds were comfortable and it was immaculately clean! We would book this home again when we return to Girdwood.
