Chalet Gallery - Enjoy Two Units with this Chalet in the Heart of Alyeska - Walk almost anywhere!

The entire ski chalet in Girdwood/Alyeska is all yours for your Alyeska retreat! It holds two private units, each with private access. The upstairs unit features three bedrooms. Two with Queen Beds and One with a full-sized bed. The loft is the only room on the third floor and is equipped with a mini refrigerator/freezer, microwave, closet and dresser space, nightstands and floor lamp, and TV with streaming capabilities. Basic amenities are provided to make your stay comfortable and convenient. There are two small rooms on the main level. The open floor plan makes it easy to entertain, and visit with your group while cooking and lounging. The downstairs unit has two bedrooms, both with Queen-sized beds. Both units have a full kitchen. The three-bedroom apartment can accommodate 6 people and the two-bedroom apartment can accommodate 4 people. The most appealing feature is its great location, within walking distance of almost everything, and now with the free shuttle, it couldn't be more convenient! There is a nice mountain view from the loft bedroom and huge living room windows. Both units have a living room with a TV, so you can access your streaming apps and watch movies or enjoy other app entertainment that you may have. Both units each have a small bathroom. The upstairs unit has a tub and shower, while the downstairs unit does not have a tub. It's pet friendly (subject to $30 nightly per pet fee). The coin-op washer and dryer are in a common laundry room, shared with the lower unit. The laundry machines take quarters and are $2.00 each.

Self-check-in with a lock box, so late check-in is not a problem. You'll be given the lock box code a few days prior to your arrival.

Check-in is at 4 pm and check-out is at 11 am. Early check-in and late check-out options may be available for a fee of $50.00 with at least 24 hour advanced notice.

Host Kelli happens to be a co-owner of a large tour company with over 20 shore excursions throughout Alaska, mostly in Southeast Alaska. She offers a 10% discount on all tours offered by Alaska Travel Adventures to her vacation rental guests. Unfortunately, Alaska Travel Adventures doesn't currently offer any day tours in the area. If you are going on an Alaska cruise, or are interested in RV travel, this offer may be of interest to you. Popular tours in Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, and Sitka include whale watching, salmon bakes, river rafting, kayaking, canoe tours, boat tours, hiking, gold panning, private cars, Mendenhall Glacier tours, Jeep tours, and more., ask us for the details.

This is a cool place with some historic references. In 1998, Kelli bought the place to live in and considered painting over the Alaska-themed mural, but some of the Girdwood residents lobbied against it, including the librarian who stated that it was her dog painted on the property. She never painted over the mural, and now it seems appropriate to keep it that way. The cabin was built in 1964 and it was raised in 1978 when a concrete slab was poured and a block foundation installed creating a gift shop where tour buses would bring people on their way to and from the sites. Later the lower level housed "the bike shop". When the bike shop outgrew the space, it was converted into a two-bedroom dwelling unit.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Girdwood Park. The vacation home offers a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.
  • The vacation home offers a kitchen, a washing machine, and 2 bathrooms

Great place to stay
The two separate units are nice so that if you have a group of folks, one group can be up and about without disturbing the other. This is my second time staying here, and it's a great value!

Clean, spacious, pleasant
Our group stayed here while attending a wedding in Girdwood. The location was great--very walkable to the center of town--and the house itself was perfect. The upstairs unit in particular has a lot of character, and all the rooms were great for our purposes.

Location convenient
Location convenient and a good stopping point before flying out the next day. Ate at top Mt. Alyeska...beautiful. This VRBO is more of a dorm style chalet. Only 1 full bathroom for 3 bedrooms. Did have room darkening curtains that were helpful for a June stay. Floors are squeaky, and beds were too soft upstairs 7 adults rented both units and was a tight fit due to only 1 full bathroom for upstairs use. Did have 1 USB light port on a bedside lamp
