Everything we were looking for!

I would highly recommend this place for whatever adventure awaits... The owners did a great job with communication and ensured we had everything we needed during our stay. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked. Our group loved sitting around the unique fire place. And the pool table allowed us to wind down after skiing all day. Again, I would most definitely recommend staying here.

Perfect for family vacation

The location was perfect for exploring the Kenai Peninsula. Girdwood is a neat community. The Faulkner house has character and we felt at home. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out or be together for games and conversation. And the views are amazing!!! Our family would go back in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Audrey or Win Faulkner

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 have rental properties in Girdwood and Anchorage.

Why they chose this property

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.

What makes this property unique

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.
