This classic A-Frame Chalet was built in the early days of the Alyeska Ski Resort and sits in the established neighborhoods outside of Girdwood's community center. It features the original wood interior accents, with limited modern updates such as the gas heating stove and private hot tub. It preserves the tradition of the early days of the ski town with its natural landscaping, huge windows, and an open concept floor plan that creates a spacious but cozy atmosphere. There are breathtaking views of the mountains and it is only a short distance to the ski hill or hiking. Get started on your next Alaskan adventure - save your dates today!

Cozy comfort
I’ve been to Girdwood many times and stayed in many cabins. This cabin is exactly what you’d expect when staying in a remote ski town. It’s cozy and warm and has everything you’d need. If you’re expecting luxury, stay at the resort. If you want a cabin, this one works great.

Quaint Chalet
The location is great, the amenities are nice, it's a bit dated, but the beds are comfortable and it beats the hotel! It was great to cook a meal, relax in the hot tub and sauna and the price was good. We would stay there again.

Beautiful house, close to slopes!
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful classic A-frame, hidden away in the woods in a quiet and lovely part of town, right under Mount Alyeska with the view of the slopes and other mountains. (Street was also dark enough to see the aurora) I walked to the slopes in 15mins but it’s only a 4min drive to the parking lot. Bird singing in the morning. Kitchen was fully setup, beds amazing, hot tub steaming, and sauna was the best bonus! Can’t wait to stay here again ☺️

Great Little Cabin
This cabin is wonderful, cozy and perfect for a full weekend of skiing. We loved having the sauna and of course the hot tub. Convenient location and plenty of room for our family, grandparents and our dogs. Would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved this home. Definitely worth it! Got to know the neighbors, very quiet neighborhood. Very cozy, welcoming, had plenty of blankets to cuddle up on the couch after a long day of hiking.

The location was ideal for what we needed. The place is very dated but comfortable. They need a few mugs and wineglasses for the kitchen . We did not use any appliances except for the dishwasher when we left. Four adults stayed here

Disgusting
Chalet was very dirty inside and outside. Pictures were very deceiving the chalet was very outdated and needed a lot of repair. We were disgusted and left to find an alternate place to stay. However, we did contact the management and we did get a full refund.

Skiing
The house is older but clean. It served the purpose of my husband and daughter skiing. It does need some TLC, especially with the furniture. Vacasa before I checked in was terrible via the reservations. Management when we were there was amazing. Connor, the guy who scoops snow was amazing. He went above and beyond his job.
