About this property

Cozy Condo at Base of Mt Alyeska Prime Location

Our cute and cozy ski condo is located at a perfect spot on the base of Mt. Alyeska. This condo package includes everything needed to cook full meals, rest weary bodies, and to clean up from a long day of playing outside!

The condo is an open studio, with all the modern amenities one can ask for. Recently upgraded 2 Gig high speed internet with WiFi 6 compatibility, which substantially improves the quality of internet and helping those working remotely. The proximity at the base of Mt. Alyeska places you in an ideal location for all mountain side activities. Roughly a 1 minute walk to chair 3! Also, the glacier valley transit system can take you anywhere in girdwood, the depot is 30 seconds outside the building. Last but most important, from this condos location, you will be within a 10 minute walk to the Girdwood Brewery!

The condo itself comes with everything needed to cook meals. Fresh linens will be provided and also cable television and high speed internet. There is a communal sauna in the complex which all guests can use (be aware that although the sauna is functional, recent upgrades to the building have left some final touches unfinished.)

Guest will be given instructions via email, voice, or text on how to gain access to main building.

Girdwood is a great ski town and the vibe is very laid back. The neighborhood is very safe as crimes are typically very rare...this doesn't mean don't lock your doors though. My favorite place to visit on a nice summer sunny day is the patio of Jack Sprat, which happens to be about 20 seconds away from the condo! Beware of bears, moose, and other critters along the hiking paths as nature is unpredictable.

The base of chair 3 is about a one minute walk from the condo, even faster than that on a bike.

The Glacier Valley Transit System will provide you to anywhere in girdwood. Conveniently there is a pick up/drop off spot located about 30 seconds from the condo. More information is available by going to the glacier valley transit website.

There are bike rentals available at Powder Hound ski shop, which is about a 1 minute walk away from the unit. There are bike trails throughout Girdwood and it is a great way get out and about.

A parking pass will be provided and will need to be displayed in the vehicle when parked on the premises. Towing is now strictly enforced on the premisses so it is imperative that a parking pass is placed in the vehicle during the duration of your stay. If the parking pass is not displayed and your vehicle is towed, you are responsible for all fees associated with retrieving your automobile.

Also, upon check out leave the parking pass in the condo. If the parking pass is not left at the condo, a service fee will be taken out of the deposit for replacement.

There is a gas fireplace in the condo and is available for guests to use.

Due to municipal code, there is no smoking within the condo association or the unit. Smoking outside of the condo 25 ft away from any entrance or on the deck is allowed.

Two large dumpsters north of the condo about 50 yards away. These dumpsters are shared between both condo associations. You can see the dumpsters from the deck of the condo unit. Be sure to place any garbage in the dumpsters and not outside on the deck or left inside the common hallways.

There are onsite coin operated washer and dryers available for guests.

Dogs are not allowed.

Please note there may be some noise coming from the upstairs tenants. This is due to the unit and building being built in the late 1970's when sound/noise prevention construction did not exist. The noise is most prevalent on the weekends during ski season and throughout the summer.
If you wish to smoke please use the balcony as we do not want people smoking inside the condo. No pets. No parties. Please respect our condo. Read the binder as soon as you check in to the unit for additional information.

Perfect condo at a prime location

John's condon was perfect. Well equipped for a foray into the wilderness of Girdwood. Central location to several great restaurants and coffee shops, and the unit itself had everything needed for a weekend getaway. Sauna got a lot of use after long days of hiking.

Girdwood Condo

Great location close to all. Fully equipped kitchen. Constructive criticism is that there are no bedside reading lamps. Owner is easy to contact and helpful.

Great rental

This was a great place in a prime location. We were able to walk everywhere. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the place with nice touches like phone chargers, fireplace, and a great stereo system that was easy to use. It was a pretty hot weekend for Girdwood, and my only complaint was that even with fans going it was pretty warm (73 degrees), and there was no patio furniture to hang out on the deck. It would have been a nice reprieve. Overall, it was a great room, great location, and easy to book.

Fantastic location, cozy getaway, a welcoming town

I cannot say enough things about this place! Cozy, clean, and stocked with kitchen amenities for the independent traveler. We were a couple who got married while staying in Girdwood and we're absolutely pleased with the condo and it's privacy. Check-in and check-out was a breeze, and the locals were super helpful and nice with giving us advice on where to eat, where to shop, and where to just have an outdoor adventure! Would absolutely stay here again!

Great little condo, perfect location

This is a great little condo! We stayed here for a week and were very pleased with the condition of the condo and the way it was stocked with kitchen supplies. We were able to prepare many of our own meals, which saved on dining out expenses. The location is perfect for exploring Girdwood as well as making day trips to Seward and up to Anchorage and beyond. This was our base of operations for day excursions hiking, sea kayaking, glacier climbing, and more. Highly recommended!

Exactly as advertised

We really enjoyed our stay at John's property. The kitchen was well stocked and the bed was comfortable. The location was beautiful - right at the base of the mountain. While there was a slightly unpleasant smell in the hallway of the building, the owner has no control over that and the condo itself was perfect for our needs. We would stay there again.

Amber D., Chicagoland Area

Centrally located easy to get around

The condo is located smack dab in the middle of access to all things Alyeska. It's a short hike to the Alyeska resort, but it's also within a minute or two walk to many other ski/bike lifts. If you are a skier/snow boarder or biker it's a perfect location for access to the mountain. Most mountain stuff is walkable and if it's not, the shuttle stop is right there to drive you around. The condo is a studio, but it's pretty spacious. They have places to rest your skis and poles and even enough space for a bike. We arent actually bikers or skiers though. We did some hiking and many restaurants are within walking distance too. It was a good central location for us to bounce between Anchorage without staying in Anchorage, and made the trip to Seward a shorter day trip drive. The condo was clean and the bed was comfortable (which is important for me since I have a bad back, I'm including this for fellow back pain suffers). They had a lot of kitchenware (although we didn't use the kitchen half as much as we thought we might once we discovered The Picnic Club restaurant... which is really tasty). The only con I really have is the building is kind of old and I'm sure it gets a lot of wear and tear from skii/biking equipment coming in and out, but the hall going to the condo made me feel like I was in one of my old apartment or dorm buildings and initially didn't look very inviting and smelled like whatever everyone in the building was cooking. The condo also had a smell to it couldn't place my finger on, which may have been a cleaner or something. I'm real sensitive to smell, though; I don't think my husband was as bothered by it. The condo itself was good. John is very nice and was very helpful. He left a ton of brochures and a binder with house rules (that are pretty reasonable) which made it easy to look up stuff in the area. I'd stay here again :)

About the host

Hosted by John Fisher

Host profile image
We purchased this condo a couple of years ago as a way for our family to enjoy the ski slopes during the cold Alaska winters. During the summer months we are usually out and about so we love to let other folk use our cozy condo while it is not in use.

Why they chose this property

The location of this condo is fantastic!

What makes this property unique

You have a view of the mountain from the deck, a 30 second walk to the transit system, a 1 min walk to the ski lift and, a 30 second walk to one of Girdwood's favorite restaurants Jack Sprat, a 1 min walk to the liquor store La Bodega, and a 1 min walk to another great place to eat The Bake Shop. Location, location, location! We have small children and this condo is set up for families with or without kids.
