About this property

Alyeska Views - 4 bdr. 2.5 bath

More amenities to come summer of 2025 (New pool table, dining table and chairs, living room comfy couch and coffee table:) Alyeska Views is a newly built, 3 story, modern home located within minutes of the popular Alyeska Resort, a premier year-round destination for endless summer and winter adventures.
This gorgeous home boasts phenomenal 360-degree views of the Glacier Valley and neighboring Alyeska Resort nestled within the Chugach Mountains.
The open concept floorplan is ideal for guests to be able to gather on the main floor and still be able to enjoy some privacy by going upstairs to one of the 4 private bedrooms. The entry, kitchen, dining area, 1/2 bath and living room are located on the 2nd floor. The bedrooms are located on the 3rd. The open-air rooftop deck sets this property above the rest where you can soak in the majesty of nature from every direction.

Though this is not a full on wedding venue spot , the Rooftop deck truly is the perfect spot for your quiet quaint glacier valley elopement style Wedding. (Any extra guests are limited to 30 total people on property (12 overnight guest max+18 extra). Extra people are allowed between the hours of 2 and 9pm:) Extra guests must depart no later than 9pm. NOTE: All Weddings/ Gatherings/ Parties and events must Book a 3 night minimum stay, as I’ve found it to be too much for folks to cleanup and depart by 10am checkout. Couples who book 2 nights for their event seem frazzled and stressed upon departure:) plan to have your wedding two days before departure. Do Not have your wedding the day before you depart.

We do not allow loud partying at the house as this is a very quiet quaint neighborhood:)Loud music on the outside (specifically on the rooftop deck is Not Allowed.

You’ll find high end appliances and fixtures throughout the home as well as everything you’ll need to truly feel like you’re at a home away from home. Hard surface flooring throughout helps keep the space clean especially as we welcome your furry friends to come along. (Guests with pets are required to vacuum all pet hair before departure)
The Home has a kids corner of books and toys to keep your little ones entertained for hours each day! The Arctic entry closet is equipped with 2 packnplays, 2 strollers, high chair to help make your children comfortable and safe. There is also an extra folding table and chairs for extra eating/seating space (Often located on the roof next to the hot tub).
Outdoor adventures are endless in this beautiful region. Countless miles of hiking, snowmobiling, and exploring is just at your fingertips. It’s a great jumping point for all of the activities the Kenai Peninsula; glacier tours, cruise ships, fishing charters (deep sea and river). Check out the Alaskan rail system for views that can’t be beat or experience the flight scene with a helicopter tour! The possibilities are endless, and I’d love to have you make my home your home base as you experience Alaska!

The roof top deck (my favorite part of the house) will be a perfect setting for catered wedding events, celebrations or a soak in the XL Sauna (Hot Tub/Spa) while taking in the views.

Wonderful family stay

This place was perfect for our early family Christmas celebration. The main space is large and open with plenty of seating for everyone. The master suite is luxurious! One room was tiny, but it wasn't an issue for our family. The roof top space with the hot tub were amazing. Thank you for a great place to make some wonderful family memories.

Great Location for access to Whittier and Alyeska

We love this house! This was our second time renting this property and will be back again. You really can't beat the view from the Rooftop Jacuzzi! Kitchen is well stocked, beds are comfortable and the property is nice and quiet. The Living room is super comfortable as it has great furniture for our entire group to relax after a long day of fishing. We prefer to stay outside of Anchorage, but there are still markets and restaurants close by that have everything we need.

Rooftop Views

Went up for a short ski trip with kids during Xmas break! Zack (our host) was informative and quick to provide detailed instructions of the house. The house was clean, nicely laid out, and easy to move around. This place is perfect for large groups. The icing on the cake is the rooftop. The view is great!

Amazing home in Girdwood

This VRBO was so wonderful for our getaway in Girdwood! It was very clean, comfortable and so well stocked with everything we needed. Zack was also very quick to respond and make sure we had a good stay. It had a great toy corner for our 1 year old, plus a high chair and brand new pack n play with bedding. We loved sitting by the fireplace with our coffee in the morning. We’re already talking about renting this house again later this season, maybe another trip this summer as well so we can enjoy the gorgeous rooftop deck.

We loved staying here and would stay again in a heartbeat. Clean, plenty of space, and great amenities. We had a late Christmas celebration with friends and the owner even left out a small Christmas tree which I thought was a sweet gesture. Kitchen had everything you might need and then some! Rooftop jacuzzi was spectacular in the subzero temps, plenty of space for the 8 of us! And an amazing view of Alyeska. All around, great experience.

Wonderful, Snowy Stay

We had a wonderful stay. The hot tub was a hit. It was dumping snow so the kids kept having to shovel their way to the hot tub which was worth it for them :o). It was nice that the stairs up to the entry were protected by the deck so we didn’t have to shovel that. There were plenty of towels and bedding for everyone. We had five kids between 7 and 12 and four adults. I do wish there were drawer pulls in the kitchen, I broke at least four nails trying to get them open. The fireplace hearth is huge which was nice for laying out everyone’s soaked gear.

Truly 360 degree views!

Property is brand new and shows a lot of thoughtfulness by the builder. Large kitchen, tons of deck space and flexible sleeping arrangements. The master bedroom is absolutely incredible and my wife loved the bathtub! What sets this property apart is the rooftop deck and extra large hot tub. We were a group of 6 adults and 3 kids and we could all fit in the hot tub together and enjoy the incredible views. No matter which direction you looked there was a picture worthy spot. The second morning there we awakened to shouts of excitement as we got to see a black bear saunter under the deck and up the driveway. Property is close to Alpine Air which, if you are able, you should absolutely splurge on the dog sledding glacier helicopter tour. The property manager was responsive and helpful and we hope to be back soon!

We loved our stay at Alyeska Views! The couch and beds were comfortable, house was spotless, hot tub was a bonus, the host messaged us back quickly for any questions we had, easy instructions for check in. You can't beat the view either. Highly recommend staying here. The place had enough towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. The roof top has an arch and benches which would be great for someone that wants to have a small ceremony.

Beautiful Home with Gorgeous Views – Just a Few Small SuggestionsWe really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home! The layout is spacious and well thought out, perfect for hosting larger groups. Our family of five had plenty of room and found the home well-stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable visit.The views were absolutely stunning, and the location made for a memorable trip. We appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the snack basket on the counter (though we did notice the snacks were expired since last year—likely just an oversight).A couple of small areas for improvement:•We requested early check-in but were unable to access the home before 4 PM. Not a major issue, just something that would’ve made things more convenient.•A few windows were unlocked upon arrival (and would not lock), which raised some safety concerns as we’re not familiar with the area. We reached out and were told response time could take up to 48 hours—quicker follow-up here would’ve given us more peace of mind.•Lastly, the home could have been a bit cleaner, especially at this price point. Nothing major, but worth mentioning. All in all, it’s a lovely property with a lot of potential. With a few minor tweaks, it could go from great to amazing. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful property with great views

Overall, this is a terrific property. The rooftop hot tub was amazing with picture perfect views. The location in Girdwood was great. We were 7 people ( 5 adults and 2 kids) and had plenty of space. There is a nice children's area with fun toys and books. One bedroom is a little tiny. Zack was easy to get a hold of and a pleasure to deal with. Just be aware there are a number of stairs to get to the bedrooms and hot tub. This was not a problem for us but could be challenging for some.

Nice place, awful owners

Firstly, we didn’t receive any check in instructions so we waited over an hour outside the property waiting to get in. Secondly, on the day of our wedding, we planned on using this place to get ready with all of the bridesmaids. The power went out at 9:30 am and there was no mention of a generator when I asked if there was anything that could be done. We had to book a hotel room because we were on a strict time schedule and when I let the owner know, he thought that was a good time to let me know there was a generator. We did receive a noise complaint so that is our bad, but as soon as he let us know we turned it down greatly. For this we received a $100 fee. It was a Saturday night. He also charged us a $100 fee for extra guests. We did not have extra guests and we actually had less than the amount I paid for. He counted my hair stylist who was there for 30 minutes as someone who stayed the night, and my mother who was also there for 30 minutes as an overnight guest. Also one bridesmaid who didn’t not stay the night (only there to get ready, but had to leave to the hotel because we were out power) as an overnight guest. Lastly, we were 10 minutes late from check out (10:10am) and one person forgot her purse so she ran in for less than 2 minutes to retrieve it. We were charged $100 for this. Overall, the place is very nice. But I think we were very unfairly charged for multiple reasons. We also had to spend $600 on a hotel and were not reimbursed. 1/10 recommendation

This property is absolutely gorgeous! The pictures of the rooftop don’t do it justice. 🏔️ We had our wedding on a misty March day and the mountains in the background made for the perfect backdrop.

About the host

Hosted by Zack Ard

Host profile image
I'm a Helicopter by Profession. I started my career in 2003 in Idaho (where I was born and raised). I first came to Alaska in 2007 and immediately fell in love with the Grandness and Beauty. I feel lucky to have a great office view to take in the splendor of this amazing majestic state. Professionally I have flown in Idaho, California, the Gulf of Mexico, Afghanistan, Africa, Peru, and Ecuador. But it is Alaska which I just could not stay away from for long. I finally decided to buy property in Girdwood, moved into the yurt which still stands on the my property, and after 30 or so drafts of what to build, I started creating Alyeska Views. I want everyone who has a spirit for adventure to experience the Alaska I have grown to love!!
