Base of Alyeska, walk to attractions, beautiful vacation home, great views!

Stay at our Alyeska home away from home!

Alyeska Vacation Home is nestled at the foot of Mount Alyeska in the quaint ski-town of Girdwood; a prime area for skiing, snowboarding, biking, and year round hiking. The local trails are lush boreal rainforests and stunning year-round. Other neighborhood attractions include helicopter tours, heli-skiing, tram rides. Bike, ski, and snowboard rentals are available at the nearby ski resort.

Walk out your front door on our quiet street to many attractions. Find fine dining, family dining, galleries, and live music venues just a few blocks away.

We are located 45 minutes South of Anchorage International Airport. The drive itself from Anchorage to Girdwood is considered one of the most beautiful drives in the United States; with Beluga Whale spottings, Dall Sheep viewing, mountain ranges, boar tide exchanges on the inlet, and incredible ice formations in winter. World-class fishing and whale watching tours are just 45 minutes drive South in charming Seward, AK.

You can find true adventure here, or just relax by the fireplace and enjoy the mountain views.

Know you can feel at home here with all that you expect in a rental home. If you would like, we will assist you with sightseeing recommendations and local trail maps.

We have two well appointed units available throughout the calendar year, which may be rented as separate units or combined for larger parties. Units are fully furnished and outfitted.

This spacious upstairs unit has comfortable contemporary seating with a large screen tv, dining area, a kitchen with supplies, master bedroom suite, second bedroom with two full size beds, and bath with jetted tub and separate shower.

Our upstairs unit has a sauna, as well as a deck for grilling and entertaining.

Each floor sleeps 6 comfortably. We provide additional floor mats for convenience.

Plenty of room for a family; could use some TLC
Nice updated interior! Our teenage boys loved the space- plenty of room to spread out and play the provided games. Nice close drive/walk to the Brewery. The jacuzzi was broken, the outside deck was unstable and the railings a major hazard…just needs a little TLC to get the outside to match the nice inside.

Broken
The duplex was clean. However, furnishings were sparse, unorganized and several important appliances were broken: jacuzzi and dishwasher to name a few. The missing closet doors did not enhance our stay. Work to be done here.

Lovely comfortable place
It is a fantastic stay in the cozy house. There is a little heck up when checking in the first day on how to open the door. It is actually the upper knob instead of lower handle to open the lock. After we figured that out, everything is good surprise for our family. We enjoyed the nice location to surrounding scenery spots, and local good food and amenities. Neighbors are friendly too. Wish next time we come it will be still available. Thank you Heidi!

This was a nice and comfortable place to relax in. It was very clean. It has a great kitchen with all you need to cook a meal. The sauna was an amazing perk. This was a great place to be able to play games at the big dining table with the kids as well as spacious enough so we could spread out to read and relax. We had a wonderful time and would definitely rent again.

The owner was extremely flexible regarding the reservation. Very easy to work with. The house is very close to Alyeska which was why we chose this house. We felt comfortable allowing our kids to walk to and from the slopes. Kitchen was well-equipped for dining in. I initially thought they had a washer and no dryer. Took me a minute to realize the washer and dryer was the same appliance. Beds were comfortable with warm bedding. Thank you for a great trip.

Great unit to rent out for an Alyeska ski trip. Very spacious with artic entry downstairs that's perfect for gear. It's downhill from the resort so it's an easy ski back fom chair 4. The sauna is a great way to relax after a day of shredding it on the slopes

Our Alaska home
Loved the huge bathroom and upgraded appliances. Were pleased with the comfy beds and pillows. Had to go online to figure out how to use the washer but then loved it. Streaming was easy and enjoyed the fireplace. Left a note on one of the wall recepticals that was a safety concern. Would have liked more bath towels. Didn’t know what to do with the garbage bags or when check out time was. We were very comfortable staying in this home.

Had everything we needed
Overall this property was good, it just needs some love. The tarp on the roof does not leave a great first impression. Maybe they are having work done, I don't know. The railings need to be tightened for safety. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfy and the location is great. I would stay here again.

Property was lovely. Very modern and up to date, super clean with a great kitchen, bedrooms and living room. TV was difficult to get functioning and lots of neighbors, but neither of these was really an issue. Would stay here again. Beware that most of the nicer places to eat seem to all be closed on Tuesdays!

Needs a little attention
The property was spacious but the beds and bedding need some attention. Also, there was a bad smell in the kitchen area, possibly in the drain that needs to be addressed. We needed a hair dryer and while it was listed as an amenity, there was not one available. I communicated with the manager late at night and she was quick to respond. However, while she was apologetic, she could not rectify the situation. All in all, the property was as listed but needs a little TLC.
