Dan was a great guest we would host him and his crew anytime!
Justin was an amazing host! Always communicated quickly and was willing to help. The property was fantastic and very clean. It was the most equipped rental property I have found to date. No looking for cooking utensils etc. everything was there and more! The layout of the home was perfect for our needs. The location was well located for our group. I would recommend this property!
We had a fantastic stay at the Luxurious Orca Mountain Chalet! The home truly lives up to its name—beautifully designed, very comfortable, and exceptionally functional. Justin was a great host—responsive, helpful, and made everything easy from start to finish.Our family of four stayed for a week to ski at Alyeska, and the location couldn’t have been better—so close to the lift, which made our days effortless. The heated floors and gas fireplace were amazing after long days on the mountain, and the experience was made even more special when we were able to see the northern lights from both the hot tub and the large windows!The house is thoughtfully laid out and could easily accommodate a much larger group. Highly recommend this place—we would absolutely stay here again!
This house was the perfect getaway experience! We really appreciated how clean and comfortable everything was. We felt like we were staying in a real home with quality furnishings and appliances. The heated floors and spotless hot tub kept us all warm and cozy. The 5 minute walk to the chairlifts was a huge plus, too! Highly recommend this spot, and thanks to Justin for being such a responsive and friendly host.

Why they chose this property
The property is in a premier location within walking distance to ski hill, restaurants, virgin falls and the brewery. The towering old growth sitka spruce trees surround the house and the natural creek on the property burbles when you are sitting by the outdoor fire pit or relaxing on the south facing deck soaking up the sun. The location is very quiet with all local residents on the street and many dog walkers strolling by to wave hello!
What makes this property unique
This brand new mountain modern chalet was designed by a local architect for comfort, adventure and relaxation. Located on a quiet, family-friendly street, the chalet offers stunning views of the Alyeska ski slope, Orca Mountain, and lush forest - all just steps away from Girdwood’s best attractions. Located just 350 yards from Chair 4 at Alyeska Resort and 300 yards from Girdwood Brewing Company, its easy to hit the slopes or enjoy a locally crafted beer. If you chose to stay home, large windows flood the main level with natural light, letting you enjoy the well appointed chefs kitchen, luxurious furnishings and cozy Scandinavian gas fireplace.
