About this property

Centrally located in the town of Girdwood at the base of Max's mountain on a quiet, dead end road. Local grocery store, restaurants/bars and ski slope within one mile of chalet.

In this peaceful neighborhood, you will find the perfect base camp for your Alaskan adventure. The Hinterland Chalet is designed to provide you with a cozy stay in Girdwood with full kitchen and sleeping amenities. This timber frame chalet boasts beautiful redwood siding. Built by climbers in 1983, the recycled redwood came from Anchorage's original REI store.

On the main floor, the kitchen and living area are surrounded by windows. The kitchen and bath have just been remodeled with new floors and counter tops. The floors are radiant heated for toasty toes no matter what the temperature outside. The bedroom on the main floor has a full sized bed and closet. The loft hosts a queen sized log frame bed where the moon shines bright on clear nights. This is the master bedroom of the house with a full closet. Up the ladder you can escape to the tree room for reading, relaxing, or gazing out through the forest. Complimentary coffee is provided for your enjoyment.

The large deck with seating in front is perfect for relaxing after a hike, or, if you love a bonfire, warm up by the fire bowl. This 1,000 square foot chalet is well suited for families and friends in groups up to four people.

Beautiful getaway cabin

We spent our honeymoon exploring north of Anchorage and south to Seward so Kathy’s place was a perfect home base for us. We didn’t do much besides sleep there but it was great. Clean, quiet, tucked away yet close to town. Kathy was very hospitable and we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect start to Alaska trip

Cozy and spacious accommodations in Girdwood

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely wooded cabin. Despite some rainy weather in Girdwood, this cabin with many large windows and a very cool treehouse felt like a cozy hideaway in the rainforest. We appreciated the laundry facilities and the well-furnished full kitchen. The location was also convenient to area restaurants.

Relaxing location

Owners were very accommodating. The house is comfortable with all the amenities. Nice central location from both Seward and Anchorage. So convenient that there was a washer and dryer. Only wish we would have known there was another house on the property so close to this one.

Lovely Chalet!

Everything was perfect at this chalet... I would highly recommend! We were in town for a wedding and loved staying here. It was comfortable and cozy. We loved taking our wine up to the loft area. Having wifi was a very nice plus. The shower is amazing as well... terrific water pressure! Would not hesitate to book again!

Lovely cabin

This is a great cabin in Girdwood. 1 bedroom downstairs and another loft room with an adorable sitting room on third floor. You felt like you were in the trees! Kathy the owner was wonderful to work with. She was available for every question we had. Our 9 year old daughter was in love with this cabin and the town! One of my favorite places I return to often! This cabin is a great place to make memories!

Absolutely gorgeous property in a beautiful location

We would stay here again in a heartbeat and indeed are looking forward to staying for much longer the next time we do. The property has everything you could want or need. It’s situated among the trees with many windows such that you feel like you’re in a treehouse. We love the Alyeska/Girdwood area because there is good food close by and it’s a great launching point for so many wonderful adventures. Communication with host Cathy was super easy and she was so awesome to us I can’t even express how much we appreciate everything.

Great Place To Stay

My family had a wonderful stay at this nice Girdwood Chalet. The property is clean and comfortable and our group of 5 found everything we needed for cooking, resting, and relaxing. We loved the peaceful location within walking distance to the Virgin Creek Falls trail. The kids especially enjoyed hanging out, playing, and sleeping way up high in the window filled loft. Thanks, Kathy, for the nice use of your stroller which saved me from having to pack along mine, and for letting us enjoy your ping pong table. Much fun was had by all. We did not run out of fun things to do. Thanks for your wonderful hospitality.

We spent two weeks here. The chalet is located in a neighborhood which provides a quiet homey feeling. It is perfect for being able to walk around the neighborhood or even to the store. The owners greeted us and made us feel at home. The kitchen is well stocked so I was able to cook nightly. Having a washer & dryer is definitely a plus. When I forgot something in the chalet after locking it, Kathy graciously helped me !! I highly recommend this chalet for its location and price.

Wonderful forest get away

While on an extended stay in Alaska to visit our daughter, we called this place home for nearly two months. It was wonderful place to stay among the tall spruce and fir trees in Girdwood. Every window looked out on the green forested slopes, secluded but close to town. Very relaxing. The cottage is outfitted with nearly everything you could possibly need, including a washer and dryer. The towels were big and fluffy, the beds were very comfortable, the silverware, plates and utensils were of good quality. The large deck with gas grill were an added bonus, which we used nearly every evening to grill outside. We will definitely be returning. We wish to thank Kathy, Alan, Alex, Coco and Pixie, for allowing us to share their little piece of heaven in Alaska.

Best stocked place we've ever stayed and awesome shower to boot!!!

This cabin was by far the best stocked place we have ever stayed. It had everything we could possibly need. Our trip was a family vacation for 5 adults. This cabin boasts nice fluffy towels, all the items you would need to cook a full meal (bring your own groceries of course), plenty pillows and blankets, and the most awesome shower head I've ever seen. We seriously considered packing the whole shower and flying it home, lol! Kathy was so easy to work with. She and her family definitely put thought into what they put in their cabin. Also, Kathy checked on us to make sure we made it in ok and that all was well. We weren't sure what to expect as far as the town but Girdwood was awesome!!! It has more if a local, less tourist town, kind of feel. We especially enjoyed all the local restaurants. We joked about being in a foodie town. This was definitely the best place to be!! Thanks Kathy for sharing your great cabin with us!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Fish

We have lived in Alaska for 30 years and love this beautiful state. We feel fortunate to be raising our family here and look forward to the time we get to spend in Girdwood skiing, snowboarding, hiking and just enjoying the laid back, friendly atmosphere.

Why they chose this property

We chose this particular property due to its location. Located on a third of an acre on a quiet, dead end road, it is very peaceful. The cabin is surrounded by hemlocks and in the summer the hummingbirds and blueberries are plentiful. It is centrally located with several restaurants and the local grocery within walking distance. Whittier, Seward and Hope are easy day trips by car should guests want to explore places other than Girdwood.

What makes this property unique

St. Moritz sits at the base of Max's Mountain and ends shortly after our chalet. The neighbors are genuine and the blueberries sweet. When the sun shines, it warms the gravel roads and brings everyone out to visit and share stories. For the adventurous spirit, the back door leads to excellent powder skiing in winter and quiet hikes with bears, forest flowers and birds in summer. This is a quiet, serene place.
