Hanging Glacier Chalet | Group Lodge | Sauna

Summary:

Premium 3BR mountain lodge featuring a private, wood-fired cedar barrel sauna right outside the door. Located 2.5 miles from Alyeska (on the free town shuttle route). Features vaulted ceilings, heated bathroom floors, full kitchen with specialty bakeware, large-capacity laundry, high-speed WiFi, and private gas grill. Smart noise decibel monitoring enforced. Parking for two vehicles. Sleeps 8.



The Space:

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.

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The pictures posted of the property show a house with no close neighbors usable green space. We had to keep all blinds closed because there were close neighbors on all sides (within 30 feet approximately on one side and in back). There was a tarp hanging between yards of the property and the house in back. The iron content in the water was so high that you could smell it on our laundered clothes and on us after showering. The house is fine, and if you don’t mind close neighbors, it would be okay. We booked based on the listing and found the photo-shopped pictures to be misleading.
