Summary: There's plenty of space for the whole family at this serene, enchanting retreat nestled in the woods right by the famous fishing at Bird Creek and epic ocean view skiing at Girdwood. After enjoying Alaska hop in the hot tub or sauna and enjoy it some more! Bring your bikes and ride the Bird to Gird paved trail along the ocean or take it to Bird Creek to go fishing only 1 mile away with a pedestrian tunnel under the highway. You can also enjoy roasting smores at the new fire pit.
The Space: King bed in the Master, Queen bedroom and Twin over Full bedroom on the main. One big bedroom downstairs (Queen and Twin over Full).
Guest Access: Door code for 24/7 access.
The Neighborhood: Back in a quiet neighborhood near the end of the road. The property borders State Park on 2 sides. The cabin shares the 2.5 acres with a guest house. Its completely separarte but please be respectful of the neighbors.
Getting Around: Once you arrive you can get around on the bird to gird trail that goes between Bird Creek and Girdwood.
We reserve the place for just three of us, but itâs 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 were only here 2 nights, but certainly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin in the woods of Alaska. The property was clean and VERY well stocked. The supply of coffee was much appreciated as we had some early morning departures for the day's activities. The only recommendation that
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.
Went with 3 couples to bird cheek chalet for a friends 40th birthday. This place is very nice and spacious. Thereâs plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Itâs 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.
This was a nice place to stay during our Alyeska ski vacation. We especially enjoyed the the hot tub under the stars, surrounded by trees. Good family time. We would stay here again.
We stayed 3 nights to start our Alaskan adventure and the house is wonderful! Plenty of space to spread out & delightfully secluded. Great access to walking/biking trails and the hot tub was the perfect way to end our day. Stay here, youâll love it
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.
Very comfortable accommodations. Clean, spacious, well appointed. A cabin in the woods, but close to Anchorage. Our host was gracious and flexible with us.
