Perfect for a ski getaway with friends or a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of normal life, this beautiful lodge is ready for your next adventure! With vaulted ceilings that let in plenty of natural light, rustic decor, and an open layout, entertaining larger groups and spreading out will be a breeze. Head out to the front porch or back deck each morning to breathe in that crisp air with a fresh cup of coffee. Don't worry about cold floors in the morning - both bathrooms and the entryway are warmed by electrical floor heat. After a full day of shredding fresh powder up north or hiking nearby, there will be no better way to settle down and soothe tired muscles than a session in the classic cedar barrel sauna (powered by wood) right outside the front door! Plus, the chef of the group can easily whip up a tasty meal for the whole group on all of the appliances of home in the full kitchen. Come summer, the private gas grill will come in handy for family cookouts as the sun dips behind the trees. The baker of the group will enjoy the use of cookie sheets, mixing bowls, a hand mixer, and other bakeware.

What's nearby:
Sitting just two-and-a-half miles from Alyeska, the skiers of the group will have endless runs and fresh powder within a few minutes of the front door. Enjoy the use of the free town shuttle to get around! While in the area, be sure to take a break from the mountain and check out the charming shops, restaurants, and cafes that are scattered throughout the town. If you are wanting to take a day trip into downtown Anchorage, you are only 39 miles away making for an easy commute into the vibrant city. Beluga whales can be seen chasing the silver salmon in the glacial waters of Turnagain Arm. This home is located also on the only road that heads south out of Anchorage, so guests will be easily connected to other towns in the region.

Wonderful, quaint, little cabin to relax and finish our Alaska trip off.

All beds were comfortable, quiet, good location to all activities, comfortable and cozy. Kitchen was not fully stocked, checkout is very early at 10am and they aren’t flexible in that at all. Property management is slow to respond
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2025
Comfortable beds, tidy, easy checkin, nice views and good location. Near the train, easy drive to anchorage, glaciers, hikes and tram. Buy groceries in anchorage as there isn’t much in the way of amenities in town. Big picture windows with nice view up the mountain but little privacy as the cul de sac road runs RIGHT alongside the front of the lodge. Although only few houses in there, people were out and about and driving by. Kitchen wasn’t very well stocked—broiler doesn’t work, large skillet needs replacing, needs teaspoons and a set of measuring cups and there were few spices etc and no dishwasher soap. We needed more than 2 tea towels. Check out process was disappointing to say the least. It is earlier than typical (10am) and we asked for a late checkout, it took them 3 hours to respond and we were told no, when we asked could we just have a bit of extra time (an hour, which is closer to standard) we were told no it’s too late as you have to ask for late checkout before 4pm, which was annoying as we first asked at about 1.30. We did enjoy the very quiet stay.

The sauna was locked so it was inaccessible. Neither the information online nor in the house gave any guidance about how to get access to the sauna if it is locked. Even reaching out to customer service was not helpful for this as it seems the agent was also not provided this information. By the time we were given information on how to access the locked sauna we no longer had the time.
