Map & Owner's Profile
Alyeska Ski Resort - Five Star Executive Lodge
Year Purchased: 1996
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.
Owner's Map of Girdwood
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Regards Will

Thank you so very much for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful home. Girdwood is a gorgeous place and all the windows and open floor plan of your home allowed us to appreciate it that much more. The pool table was a blast and the home is so spacious we never felt like we were tripping over eachother (even with 3 kids under the age of 10). It was the perfect spot for our family of 8. We had the best location for attending my brother's wedding and reception in Girdwood. I would recommend your home to anyone traveling in the area - thank you!

We had a wonderful time at the Faulkner home in Girdwood. It was perfect for our family group of eight. We were able to have our own separate spaces but still spend a lot of time together. The pool table was a particular draw for us. The home has a very open feel and the views of the mountains were perfect. We would recommend it to anyone traveling to Alaska. So many activities and sights were so close.

We can't thank you enough for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful home. It was the perfect place to rejuvinate after long days of hiking and sightseeing. We especially enjoyed the large kitchen where all 8 of us could relax together over a good meal to discuss the days events and plan our excursion for the next day.
