Good times at the Alta House Chateau. We had a great time the house made things very comfortable for all of us. Hot tub was the icing on the cake. Nice location in the quiet neighbourhoods. Girdwood is so nice when it is sunny. I think we counting over 8 paragliders flying on Alyeska when we were there.Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

"I had the fantastic opportunity to stay in the Village Cottage, one of the Alta House's rentals in Girdwood, AK. I wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone! The accommodations were absolutely perfect. It was serene, yet close to town. It was quiet, even though we had neighbors. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I'd ever slept in. I have arthritis thoughout my body and the mattress actually gave me a great night's sleep and I awoke feeling more refreshed than I had in a long time. Attention was paid to details. One of my favorite things was having fresh ground, good coffee, not the pre-packaged stuff you get in chains. And they give you plenty of sugar and creamer, not one or two tiny packets. There was a full sized coffee maker. The water was delicious and it was wonderful to wake up, sip delicious coffee looking at the trees and mountains out the windows. The bathroom had a real bath rug, not one of those minute towel-like things many places provide. There was a an easy step-in large shower with superior water pressure. Next time I come to visit my son, we will make plans to stay with Alta House, even though my son has an apartment about an hour away. It was that good. I wish I could live there!"" You deserve the 2011 Best of Anchorage award! And thanks again for helping to provide the best part of my two-week visit to Alaska.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

About the owner: All Alta House properties are owned, remodeled and furnished by me. I designed the cabins and chalets to make you feel relaxed regardless of our unpredictable Alaskan climate. You will find all the comforts of home. It is my pleasure to share my art with you. Email us for our official website.
Why the Owner Chose Girdwood:
Girdwood is a year-round resort area with many adventures to keep the outdoor lover active. It is close enough to Anchorage to enjoy the luxuries of being near a city, yet far enough away to experience real wilderness.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
All of our properties are located within walking distance to the mountain, shops, restaurants and outdoor activities, and offer panoramic views of the Glacier Valley. Feeling adventurous? Allow us to book your excursion(s) through our complimentary concierge service. If you are pressed for time, but still need an authentic Alaskan souvenir, we have a convenient online gift shop, where you have a shipping option.
