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.

Beautiful location!
The house is beautiful, and well kept but not everything that the description leads it to be. The location near Alyeska is convenient, and we had no trouble getting around or finding good food and fun things to do. We were also able to see the northern lights when they were out. The house is located on a small densely populated dead end road. There is very little privacy. While the windows are lovely, they allow everyone to look inside the home. The downstairs bed was incredibly uncomfortable. It felt like sleeping on a cardboard box. My daughter said the upstairs king bed was really nice and she slept well every night. The sauna was especially nice as the weather was chilly and we were not used to the cold. There is also a noise detector, to prevent you from getting loud and obnoxious I suppose but it felt more like we couldn't even laugh loudly or face eviction. Overall the place was nice, clean, and well stocked but the lack of privacy, volume surveillance, and a backache had me at odds with loving the whole experience.
This home was great. The layout and number of bedrooms were perfect for our group. The house was clean upon arrival. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The kitchen was a nice size and well stocked. Would definitely stay here again.
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.
Amazing home and great location between Anchorage and Seward! Definitely we will stay again in our next Alaska trip.
We enjoyed very much the home, the views, the location. Comfortable beds, cool sauna on wood.
This house was perfect for 6 adults. We enjoyed our time. The sauna was very nice to relax in during the evenings. We would stay again for sure.
Perfect for our group, very clean and had everything we needed.
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.
Very nice house. Clean and short drive to everything. Would recommend this house
Plus: very clean and modern appliances; great location in Girdwood; easy access for late arrival; very private and quiet. Minus: not their fault, but very dumpy looking property across the way from from balcony.
