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.

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.

Clean & tastefully decorated Condo, which has everything that we needed during our travel. In a very quiet neighborhood with great view of the Alyeska Mountain.

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!

Great stay!
The Girdwood area is a great base for exploring the upper area of the Kenai Peninsula. The house was plenty big for our family of 4 and had all the necessities to make our stay comfortable.
