Summary: There's plenty of space for the whole family at this serene, enchanting retreat nestled in the woods right by the famous fishing at Bird Creek and epic ocean view skiing at Girdwood. Bring your bikes and ride the Bird to Gird paved trail along the ocean or take it to Bird Creek to go fishing only 1 mile away. The road to the cabin connects directly to the Bird to Gird trail with a pedestrian tunnel under the highway. You can also enjoy roasting smores at the new fire pit.
The Neighborhood: Back in a quiet neighborhood near the end of the road. The property borders State Park on 2 sides. The cabin shares the 2.5 acres with a guest house occupied by a long term tenant so please be respectful to them. They are our cleaners and are super nice.
Getting Around: Once you arrive you can get around to the bird to gird trail and bird creek on bike

Went with 3 couples to bird cheek chalet for a friends 40th birthday. This place is very nice and spacious. There’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out. It’s pet friendly and the road is nice for walking your pet and you can get on the trail down to bird creek nearby. We skied Alyeska and it was about a 14 min drive. We also spent a relaxing day at the nearby Nordic Spa. The hot tub at the Chalet is a very nice addition and we were able to see the northern lights from it one night! The host was very responsive and checked to make sure everything was okay for us. We would definitely stay here again.
This was a nice place to stay during our Alyeska ski vacation. We especially enjoyed the the hot tub under the stars, surrounded by trees. Good family time. We would stay here again.
We stayed 3 nights to start our Alaskan adventure and the house is wonderful! Plenty of space to spread out & delightfully secluded. Great access to walking/biking trails and the hot tub was the perfect way to end our day. Stay here, you’ll love it
It was a lovely stay. Very happy with it overall! Easy access from the main road. Accessible to all the southeast activities, Girdwood tram, Wildlife Conservation, Portage Glacier, Train to Spencer Glacier, and Seward. The perfect location for that.
Unfortunately, things are.always perfect, and thats expected for Alaska. The upstairs loft bedroom had no working plugs, so we had to leave our phones and tablets downstairs.. Whoever stayed before us, or maybe they weren't aware, blew a circuit with a plug because it had burns, and they couldn't get service until after we were there. If it was possible to visit before our stay, , they wpuld have seen the issue, but thats not always possible, it didnt ruin our stay.
It was a darling place and I would recommend staying there again, and for anyone who asks.
It fit our family of 6 perfectly.. Also we were greeted by our neighbors doggie who was so sweet.
Very comfortable accommodations. Clean, spacious, well appointed. A cabin in the woods, but close to Anchorage. Our host was gracious and flexible with us.
We stayed here one evening enroute from Seward to Talkeetna. The highlight was the moose that came onto the property. The home was okay. It could have been better taken care of: bathroom blinds were broken and semi pinned up, mildew smell in bathroom shower and bathroom could have been better cleaned, every time someone walked in the bedroom loft you could hear the loud squeaking of the floor boards with each step, screen door on sliding back door kept falling off the track. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was nice. Simple fixes that would show better care of the home.
We stayed at this property for 4 days before a cruise. The location was beautiful and close to lots of beauty. The host communication was fabulous. The house had great amenities and lots of space for all of us. Beds were comfy and everything was super clean. Would recommend this house 10/10.
We really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful wooded area, comfortable beds, lots of blankets and fully equipped kitchen to make meals. Wifi and tv set up was very comfortable and there was a great space to play games. It was nice to be outside of Anchorage proper and so close to the water.
Just a heads up, the neighbours are quite close and had their dog off leash so she came over to say hello a few times (very friendly towards humans, barked at our dog a couple times but no harm no foul). Despite the proximity, the stay was still private and quiet.
The chalet was very nice and had plenty of room for my family. The location was close to many nice hiking trails and not too far from our glacier tour in Whittier. The house was well set up and even had shampoo in the bathrooms which was a nice touch for anyone who forgot something. I recommend this stay for groups who want to avoid hotels and have a little privacy the neighborhood was quiet.
House was nicely set-up with many bedrooms and great kitchen. Location only 30 minutes out of Ancjorage and 10 minutes from Girdwood making it a great homebase for a couple days. Road is a little rough but feels secluded. Enjoyed our stay
When we got to the house, it had not been cleaned because of a mis-communication with the cleaner not showing, but as soon as I called Russ he had someone come over and get it cleaned. We set up for the bridal shower while she was there and it was not an issue. She was super great and thorough and the owner made it up to us. The stay was an absolute blast! Perfect spot for a ladies sleep-over and bridal party. The property was beautiful, secluded but minutes from the highway. The hot tub was a hit and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. Floors in the house are a bit noisy for light sleepers but the whole stay was magical and perfect. Would recommend. Thanks Russ!
We had a lovely stay at the chalet! Everything was clean and comfortable in a GREAT location! We loved the decor and the views! Because of some recent rains we did have to drive carefully in the driveway (gravel) to avoid bottoming out our car. Otherwise all was perfect.
