About this property

Perfect Location! Cozy And Quiet Log Cabin; Walking Distance To Ski Lifts!!

Girdwood is the perfect location for your summer and winter adventure base. Its close proximity to Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula make it an ideal place for a unique and memorable experience.

Relax with all the comforts of home in our beautiful and cozy log cabin. The Crystal Mountain Cabin comfortably accommodates 6 guests (or up to eight with the twin beds, for a small additional fee). This lovely cabin is a great place to get away for couples, families and friends. The large open floor plan has a great room feel downstairs with one bedroom and full bathroom. The 3/4 loft has 2 queen sized beds and is separated by a large ceiling height partition. There is a small bathroom in the loft.

The living room is a great place to spend time, with the gas fireplace that is very inviting. Our modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would need to cook at home. The large bathroom downstairs has its own washer and dryer.

Girdwood is home to world class downhill and cross country skiing! It is only a short, two minute walk to the lifts of Mt. Alyeska and a quicker ski home to your cabin. Moose Meadows is directly down the street and it is your access point to the extensive nordic ski trails.

Our family had a great stay here! Great neighborhood in walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants and the resort. Kids loved the loft upstairs with 2 queen beds separated by a half wall. They also enjoyed many games to play! Shower had hot water & good pressure. Beds were comfy! Would recommend to anyone!

Cute cottage

This cottage was perfect for our family. Our kids were excited to find books and games in the charmingly loft. It has lots of windows and comfortable living room. Pretty flowers to greet us at the deck. Washer and dryer in the spacious bathroom. We really like the cottage. The owner seems to take good care of it.

Great Cabin. My family and I loved this stay. There was plenty of room for my family of five. This is not a luxury cabin. It does not feel like your typical rental. It feels like you are staying in someone’s home, maybe your grandparent’s. Great new appliances. The cabin is somewhat dated but very well appointed. It had everything we needed.

Brother's Birthday Trip

My two brothers and I rented this gorgeous cabin for my brother's 35th birthday. This cabin is perfectly located about 100 yards down the road from one of the Alyeska Mountain Resort parking areas at the Sitzmark Bar & Grill. What more could you ask for? We will likely be back next season.

Wonderful Staycation

We had a wonderful stay with family. The home was clean, beds were comfortable and we had plenty of fresh towels. Thank you so so much. Communication with the property manager was always great and timely. The only issue we had was what to do with our trash at the end of our stay which we took home to put into our own trash can. I would highly recommend staying here. .

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Ryan and Doug Robbins

Host profile image
This cabin is owned by life long Alaskans. Doug grew up in Seward, and Cindy in Anchorage. We love living in Alaska and would be happy to assist you with ideas of places to visit, go fishing and hiking during the summer.

Why they chose this property

As avid downhill and cross country skiers, we were fortunate to be able to use this wonderful cabin during the winters for many years as it belonged to family friends. We were overjoyed when they offered us the opportunity to buy it from them. It is the perfect spot to ski down for a quick lunch, break or dinner if you are night skiing. It is safe and quiet and a great place for kids.

We spent our summer totally remodeling almost every aspect of the cabin; upgrading plumbing, electrical, appliances, and decks. It was a true family effort and our 17 year old daughter worked right along with us and was a blessing as well as a huge help!!

What makes this property unique

This location and scenery are truly spectacular. It is on a quiet dead end street. There is no need to drive anywhere. It is walking distance to nearby restaurants, bars, and stores. Nearby trails offer great hiking and biking and the shuttle is nearby.
