We were only here 2 nights, but certainly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin in the woods of Alaska. The property was clean and VERY well stocked. The supply of coffee was much appreciated as we had some early morning departures for the day's activities. The only recommendation that
This was a nice place to stay during our Alyeska ski vacation. We especially enjoyed the the hot tub under the stars, surrounded by trees. Good family time. We would stay here again.
House was nicely set-up with many bedrooms and great kitchen. Location only 30 minutes out of Ancjorage and 10 minutes from Girdwood making it a great homebase for a couple days. Road is a little rough but feels secluded. Enjoyed our stay
We had an amazing time! The area was absolutely beautiful. The beautiful scenery and aesthetic of the chalet made our stay so cozy and relaxing. We will definitely be visiting again!
It was amazing!! We booked this for the weekend because we just got back from college and needed a girls weekend. The property was very clean, gorgeous place to stay.
Went with 3 couples to bird cheek chalet for a friends 40th birthday. This place is very nice and spacious. There’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out. It’s pet friendly and the road is nice for walking your pet and you can get on the trail down to bird creek nearby. We skied Alyeska and it was about a 14 min drive. We also spent a relaxing day at the nearby Nordic Spa. The hot tub at the Chalet is a very nice addition and we were able to see the northern lights from it one night! The host was very responsive and checked to make sure everything was okay for us. We would definitely stay here again.
The chalet was very nice and had plenty of room for my family. The location was close to many nice hiking trails and not too far from our glacier tour in Whittier. The house was well set up and even had shampoo in the bathrooms which was a nice touch for anyone who forgot something. I recommend this stay for groups who want to avoid hotels and have a little privacy the neighborhood was quiet.
We had a lovely stay at the chalet! Everything was clean and comfortable in a GREAT location! We loved the decor and the views! Because of some recent rains we did have to drive carefully in the driveway (gravel) to avoid bottoming out our car. Otherwise all was perfect.
We stayed at this property for 4 days before a cruise. The location was beautiful and close to lots of beauty. The host communication was fabulous. The house had great amenities and lots of space for all of us. Beds were comfy and everything was super clean. Would recommend this house 10/10.
We had an amazing time in this place. The location is perfect to reconnect with the nature and your loved ones, plus the attention received from Russ was totally exceptional. Fully recommended and we hope to come back soon.
Beautiful place and area, but unfortunately was not clean upon checking in.
Was a very beautiful home to host an event in a very beautiful area. Unfortunately upon checking in, the place was not very clean at all (carpets just looked vacuumed). Owner was very accommodating, apologetic, and very communicative which was very appreciated. Other than that we enjoyed our stay very much.
We stayed here one evening enroute from Seward to Talkeetna. The highlight was the moose that came onto the property. The home was okay. It could have been better taken care of: bathroom blinds were broken and semi pinned up, mildew smell in bathroom shower and bathroom could have been better cleaned, every time someone walked in the bedroom loft you could hear the loud squeaking of the floor boards with each step, screen door on sliding back door kept falling off the track. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was nice. Simple fixes that would show better care of the home.
When we got to the house, it had not been cleaned because of a mis-communication with the cleaner not showing, but as soon as I called Russ he had someone come over and get it cleaned. We set up for the bridal shower while she was there and it was not an issue. She was super great and thorough and the owner made it up to us. The stay was an absolute blast! Perfect spot for a ladies sleep-over and bridal party. The property was beautiful, secluded but minutes from the highway. The hot tub was a hit and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. Floors in the house are a bit noisy for light sleepers but the whole stay was magical and perfect. Would recommend. Thanks Russ!
Our family was here 3 nights this past week & this truly lovely house was nestled into a winter wonderland. Though we were out and about… & spent little time at the house actually, we found it to have most everything we needed. We thought every bed in the place was wonderfully comfortable with plenty of nice bedding The kitchen needs more glasses and a real coffee pot would’ve been nice but there is a Keurig. We didn’t have time to use the hot tub but both it & the propane grill are nice touches.
It is an easy 25 minute drive from Anchorage & 15 minutes or from Alyeska resort/skiing.
Our only issue was cleanliness of the bathrooms and kitchen - which appeared to have been cleaned in haste & not much.
We highly recommend this property -which is really nice for families.
We recently did a family trip to take a cruise; was a surprise trip for our father who has talked about going for decades. We opted to fly into Anchorage and explore on land a few days before going to Seward to hop on the cruise ship. We are so glad that we opted for the few extra days beforehand instead of taking a bus straight to the cruise ship. This stay in Bird Creek was exactly what we wanted. It had plenty of space for our group, was super clean and comfortable. We appreciated that it was a bit removed; not in Anchorage and not in Alyeska. But this served as a great central location for us to explore nearby for a couple of days. The host team were very responsive to any questions we had, and were even flexible with our arrival time. If you are looking for a place that is a little more removed but within short driving distance, this is a great option especially if you have a large group. Many beds and bedrooms, large TV, even a hot tub (although we never got a chance to take a dip!).
