Drift to the Lift - Walk Almost Everywhere at Alyeska Resort from Bright Chalet! The entire unit in this Girdwood ski chalet is all yours for your Alyeska retreat! The upstairs unit features three bedrooms - two queen-sized beds and one double bed. The loft is the only room on the third floor and is equipped with a mini refrigerator/freezer, microwave, closet and dresser space, nightstands and floor lamp, and TV with streaming capabilities. Basic amenities are provided to make your stay comfortable and convenient. There are two small rooms on the main level, one with a queen-sized bed and one with a double bed. The open floor plan makes it easy to entertain, and visit with your group while cooking and lounging. The unit has a full kitchen and a small, full bathroom. The most appealing feature is its great location, within walking distance of almost everything, and with the free shuttle, it couldn't be more convenient! The loft bedroom has a nice mountain view and huge living room windows. Both units have a living room with a TV, so you can access your streaming apps and watch movies or enjoy other app entertainment that you may have. Self-check in with a keypad, so late check-in is not a problem. You'll be given the code a few days before your arrival. The unit is on the second and third levels of the property.Check-in is at 4 pm and check-out is at 11 am. We offer early check-in and late check-out options if it's available, a couple of days before your arrival/departure for a fee of $50. Host Kelli is a co-owner of a large tour company with over 20 shore excursions throughout Alaska, mostly in the Southeast. She offers a 10% discount on all tours offered by Alaska Travel Adventures to her vacation rental guests. Unfortunately, Alaska Travel Adventures doesn't currently offer any day tours in the area. If you are going on an Alaska cruise, or are interested in RV travel, this offer may be of interest to you. Popular tours in Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, and Sitka include whale watching, salmon bakes, river rafting, kayaking, canoe tours, boat tours, hiking, gold panning, private cars, Mendenhall Glacier tours, Jeep tours, Alaska RV and Cruise tour packages, and more., ask Kelli for the details.This is a cool place with some historical references. In 1998, Kelli bought the place to live in and considered painting over the Alaska-themed mural. Still, some of the Girdwood residents lobbied against it, including the librarian who stated that it was her dog painted on the property. She never painted over the mural, and now it seems appropriate to keep it that way. The cabin was built in 1964 and it was raised in 1978 when a concrete slab was poured and a block foundation installed creating a gift shop where tour buses would bring people on their way to and from the sites. Later the lower level housed "the bike shop". When the bike shop outgrew the space, it was converted to a two-bedroom dwelling unit.Pets are welcome, upon approval. If you feel that the extra animal/person fee is too expensive, and the value isn't there for you, please don't book this place. The lower unit may also have guests staying during your stay. Please be cognizant of the noise level to be courteous to the downstairs guests and please make sure there is at least one parking spot available for those guests should you arrive with no cars in the driveway to prevent being blocked in by the lower unit guests.
