Drift to the Lift - Walk Almost Everywhere at Alyeska Resort from Bright Chalet!

Enjoy this upstairs unit with 3 bedrooms (2 Queen, 1 double) for your Alyeska retreat! The location can't be topped, within walking distance to the resort and Girdwood townsite, across the street from the brewery, and on the free shuttle route. Enjoy the mountain view. Pet-friendly with a $30 nightly fee. Shared, coin-op laundry. Self-check-in. 10% off tours in Southeast Alaska, convenient if you are going on an Alaska cruise. Easy Check-in, great communication & service, prime location, & clean!

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, available for a fee of $50, a couple of days before your arrival or departure.

Host Kelli is a co-owner of a large tour company offering over 20 shore excursions throughout Alaska, primarily in the Southeast region. 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This is a cool place with some historical references.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.
