Beautiful place!

We reserve the place for just three of us, but it’s big enough to accommodate many more! We had a wonderful time, especially and enjoyed the fire pit as well as the Jacuzzi. Everything was in good order and I look forward to staying here again!

We like how open and spreads out the home is. The space is wonderful, so we don't feel like we are on top of ea h other. We like how the house has everything we needs to feel like we are living at home. The only thing we are saf about that has nothing to do with the home but rather the nature. There are too many mosquitoes that we can't open our windows or door to let in the nature breeze. It would be wonderful if the home has screen doors and screen windows so we can enjoy the fresh air with worrying the mosquitoes. We didn't utilize the outdoor tub and bon fire due to mosquitoes problem.

Amazing Chalet

Went with 3 couples to bird cheek chalet for a friends 40th birthday. This place is very nice and spacious. There’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out. It’s pet friendly and the road is nice for walking your pet and you can get on the trail down to bird creek nearby. We skied Alyeska and it was about a 14 min drive. We also spent a relaxing day at the nearby Nordic Spa. The hot tub at the Chalet is a very nice addition and we were able to see the northern lights from it one night! The host was very responsive and checked to make sure everything was okay for us. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved being in the woods

It was a lovely stay. Very happy with it overall! Easy access from the main road. Accessible to all the southeast activities, Girdwood tram, Wildlife Conservation, Portage Glacier, Train to Spencer Glacier, and Seward. The perfect location for that. Unfortunately, things are.always perfect, and thats expected for Alaska. The upstairs loft bedroom had no working plugs, so we had to leave our phones and tablets downstairs.. Whoever stayed before us, or maybe they weren't aware, blew a circuit with a plug because it had burns, and they couldn't get service until after we were there. If it was possible to visit before our stay, , they wpuld have seen the issue, but thats not always possible, it didnt ruin our stay. It was a darling place and I would recommend staying there again, and for anyone who asks. It fit our family of 6 perfectly.. Also we were greeted by our neighbors doggie who was so sweet.
