I loved having my family in one roof. Unfortunately, having my bedroom on the second floor was hard for me and I could have used handicap bars in the Master Bedroom. Everything else is excellent. Owners are very hospitable (had a welcome appetizer for us) which I froze and brought home but my children advised me not to eat the salmon since it thawed out on the long flight home.Recommended for: Families with teenagers.

We had a better than expected stay at Win and Audrey's lodge. My brother and his family from Salt Lake City, grandma, and our Anchorage family were appreciative. The home is spacious, clean, close to lots of recreation and KID FRIENDLY. We'd recommend this home to anyone with large families. Thanks Winn and AudreyRecommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, families with young children, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

A great place to stay for a large group event. We had a blast playing foosball and pool, and using the TV for movies and games. Its easy to find and close to Alyeska. Went skiing too a blue bird sunny day, with temps in the 40's. The kitchen was huge for a big group and very nice. The rooms/beds were great too, with comfortable and clean sheets. We would definitely stay here again.Recommended for: Families with teenagers.

Our stay at the Executive Lodge was superb. The pictures online did not do the house justice--it was more beautiful and spacious in person. Its proximity to the ski resort and restaurants made everything easily within walking distance. I would quickly recommend the Executive Lodge to anyone planning a trip to the Girdwood/Alyeska area and would not hesitate to stay here again.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, adventure seekers.

The Faulkner's house could not have been better. It was a great location to tour all the surrounding area including Steward, Whitter and Anchorage. Great places to eat in Girdwood. The first afternoon we were there, a Mother Moose and her young calf walked into the backyard. We got some great pictures without leaving our house. The Faulkner's could not have been nicer in making sure that our stay was one of the best. They were helpful with travel tips, maps and infomation on the different things to do in and around Girdwood.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, adventure seekers.

We had a wonderful time at the Faulkner home in Girdwood. It worked out wonderfully for our group (3 couples). The views of the mountain were spectacular. We were able to relax and enjoy the scenery and see the paragliders out the window. This convinced one of the couples to give it a try. The hikes in Girdwood are a must do. The hike to the hand tram was awesome - which is a must do. The restaurants in Girdwood were very good - we enjoyed the bakery every day and able to get into the Double Muskey two times. We would recommend it to anyone traveling to Alaska.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

We had a great time in a beautiful house, well equipped, near the skipiste. The weather was perfect: sunny, not to cold. We did great excursions like whale whatching, snowmobile. We tell all our dutch frineds to make a visit to Alaska, specially Girdwood , and stay in your house! Fons and Clementine, April 2009Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Cabin was spacious and well-supplied. Pool table and entertainment system kept us occupied during inclement weather. Close to lifts, though just beyond comfortable walking distance. Great place for our group. I'd definitely recommend to anyone needing a base to explore the Chugach area.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

The house was excellent, getting our four kids and 2 spouses together from across the country this was the perfect house to be able to spend time together and yet with enough room to have your own space. Even at -25 it was still comfortable. Only con-needs a larger hot tub.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

Winn, We had a great time during our stay. The house worked out great for our group and it was helpful to have a fully stocked kitchen so we could cook our daily catch. The pool table and fireplace made the stay that more enjoyable. Thanks for all the recommendations as to places to find good food and good fun. If I ever get back up to Alaska I would stay again.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1996
About the owner: My wife and I were born in Anchorage and have lived and skied in the mountains around Girdwood and on Mt. Alyeska since our youth. After spending many years outside Alaska getting educated, we returned to our home state, fell in love and have been raising our family here ever since. I am a general aviation pilot and enjoy flying around Alaska and seeing the state. I run a real estate business and rental properties in Girdwood and Anchorage.
Why the Owner Chose Girdwood:
Mount Alyeska and the town of Girdwood is Anchorage's local ski resort, nestled in the heart of the Chugach Mountains just a short drive from Anchorage. Girdwood is a charming town that is filled with huge spruce trees, surrounded by mountains and glaciers and best of all, it snows a ton in the winter making the skiing some of the best around.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Our home is just a few hundred yards from the base of Mt. Alyeska. Located on a well kept bike path that leads to the mountain, walking or biking from our home and accessing the rest of the Girdwood Valley is easy. Our luxurious home is very open and spacious, has a wall of windows facing the mountain, and a large open circular fireplace that will make you feel like you are in your own ski lodge.
