This 2 bedroom 1 bath chalet is the perfect getaway for a ski vacation or summer Girdwood experience. The chalet has its own private entry, kitchen, sunken living room, and jacuzzi bath. This house is shared with a mother in law apt in the back, which the owners, Molly and Dan, live in. We are Girdwood locals who are excited to share what our town has to offer. The Alpine Chalet has a rustic cabin feel and is loaded with local art to give you a true Alaskan getaway. You can cozy up to the gas fireplace and enjoy your time inside, or take a short walk/drive to experience the surrounding area. This house has two sides that are connected by a laundry room in the middle. The only shared areas are the laundry room and front deck. The Chalet also includes: Kitchen appliances, dishes, and coffee maker for home-cooked meals. TV/DVD player with an array of DVDs. Boardgames, puzzles, and Alaska books to entertain. Brochures for all the activities around Girdwood, and menus for all the best local restaurants. The front of house is fully for your use. Shared porch and laundry room with hosts in mother in law apt on back side. We live in adjoining mother-in-law suite, and are available by phone, text, or a knock on the door. We respect our guests' privacy and spend a lot of time working or playing outside, but we are also willing to help with planning, activities, and offer our own unique perspective on staying in Girdwood. Interactions can be catered to the guests' needs. Less than 1 mile from Alyeska resort in a quiet neighborhood. We are a little less than a mile to the Girdwood Brewery, and Virgin Creek Trail is a quick walk up the street from us. Girdwood is a great jumping-off point for exploring South Central Alaska and has many tour companies that can show you around the area while being based in a small Alaskan town. Best to have a car if you are visiting here. Walking is okay but it will be more difficult to experience the area. Bus available only on the main road (Alyeska Ave). Train depot here but no taxi. The stairs inside do not have a railing on one side, and we encourage guests with kids, the elderly, or the handicapped to take a look at the photos to make sure you are comfortable with them. The gravel driveway is steep. In the winter you can drive up to the top to unload if you have 4 wheel drive & are good at backing down. We do our best to maintain but it can be icy so we recommend good shoes and ice cleats. The bathroom is downstairs, the bedroom is upstairs. We have a no pet policy, and if violated, charge a $100 pet fee.
