Perfect for a ski getaway with friends or a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of normal life, this beautiful lodge is ready for your next adventure! With vaulted ceilings that let in plenty of natural light, rustic decor, and an open layout, entertaining larger groups and spreading out will be a breeze. Head out to the front porch or back deck each morning to breathe in that crisp air with a fresh cup of coffee. Don't worry about cold floors in the morning - both bathrooms and the entryway are warmed by electrical floor heat. After a full day of shredding fresh powder up north or hiking nearby, there will be no better way to settle down and soothe tired muscles than a session in the classic cedar barrel sauna (powered by wood) right outside the front door! Plus, the chef of the group can easily whip up a tasty meal for the whole group on all of the appliances of home in the full kitchen. Come summer, the private gas grill will come in handy for family cookouts as the sun dips behind the trees. The baker of the group will enjoy the use of cookie sheets, mixing bowls, a hand mixer, and other bakeware.

What's nearby:
Sitting just two-and-a-half miles from Alyeska, the skiers of the group will have endless runs and fresh powder within a few minutes of the front door. Enjoy the use of the free town shuttle to get around! While in the area, be sure to take a break from the mountain and check out the charming shops, restaurants, and cafes that are scattered throughout the town. If you are wanting to take a day trip into downtown Anchorage, you are only 39 miles away making for an easy commute into the vibrant city. Beluga whales can be seen chasing the silver salmon in the glacial waters of Turnagain Arm. This home is located also on the only road that heads south out of Anchorage, so guests will be easily connected to other towns in the region.

Things to know:
Free WiFi
Full kitchen
Private gas grill

Large capacity washer/dryer
4WD/traction may be required in winter

Alaska Trip 2024
We were initially concerned when we approached the property due to the cleanup needed on some of the neighboring properties but the Hanging Glacier chalet is tidy inside and out. We stayed in Girdwood for a couple of nights in July while hiking and taking in the sights of the beautiful countryside. This chalet is a clean property within a couple of miles of the hiking trails near Alyeska Resort. A car is necessary if you want to reach the local restaurants and some of the outdoor activities in the area.

The hanging glacier chalet was a nice place and worked well for our family. The location was quiet and good for Girdwood where everything is spread out. The sauna was a big hit-firewood just a bit green.

This is a clean and spacious home with all the amenities you would require for a stay away from your home. Our trip was mostly sightseeing so we had limited down time to enjoy this beautiful home.
