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. We may have cameras on the property.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

This property is in a prime location and has pretty views, but the house itself is in fair condition and requires many updates and electrical maintenance. There are extension cords everywhere in the house and most of the windows need treatments replaced. The bottom unit has no walk way, pavers would go a long way. The kitchen was basic and okay, no soap to wash dishes.

Great location, high price, loud heater
The property is monitored with cameras, above each door and the driveway-which is fine except that it isn't disclosed anywhere in the listing that there are cameras, which is a violation of vrbo policies. I understand wanting to protect/monitor the property but it should clearly be stated that's happening before guests arrive- per VRBO policy.Despite the listing saying parties are allowed , when I asked to have guests who were not saying at the property over for dinner the host replied only two extra guests would be permitted who had to leave by 9pm, granted we were already ten people but it would have been nice to be able to congregate at the place with friends for dinner before heading out for the night - gone by 9 pm anyway.The property sleeps ten, in five beds, but charges per person. The heater in the living room beeps every few minutes, all day and night. Overall It seems like a high price for an older property, with a disruptive heater and monitoring without notice. The location is great. have guests

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
