Chugiak is 20 min North of Anchorage and 20 min South of The Mat-Su (Wasilla and Historic Palmer). Girdwood, Eagle River, and Chugiak is all part of the Anchorage borough. So it's listed as "Anchorage"
The chalet bungalow is located at the base of the Chugiak Mountains. This gives you unprecedented access to close by trails, water falls, shooting ranges, and much more. Nearby Eagle River will have all the services that you need and close by is Three Bears for hunting, food, and fuel supplies. There is a large field, within walking distance, for sledding during the winter from the house. We have received many compliments on large picture windows in the front that has made it a great place to telecommute from. The Mat-Su valley is about 20 min away to unlimited lakes, hiking, restaurants and more shopping. You can day trip to pretty much the entire road system and can reach areas such as Fairbanks, Valdez, McCarthy and Homer (4-6hrs). Closer by is Big Lake, Sutton, Copper Center, Seward, Kenai, Coopers landing, and much more (1-3hrs). I will be messaging you during your stay to let you know of events or opportunities that are available.

Adorable little house in an easy to find location. Everything was very clean and well taken care of with all of the necessities available. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond to our messages. Would definitely stay again next time we are in the area. Plenty of room to bring the whole family.
Property was exactly as listed - nice retreat! Very cozy, comfy beds/furniture. We snuggled in and enjoyed games and utilized the kitchen for meals at ‘home’. Excellent plow/shovel upkeep with a few inches of snow overnight as well ! Would return !
We had a great stay, the house was easy to find, clean, and we loved that we could have our dog with us. We did notice that while the bedding did seem to be washed, there was quite a bit of pet hair stuck in the sheets that hadn’t come out when laundered. Overall, it was a great stay and we’d definitely stay again.
Nice clean space. A bit confusing to find. Owner was responsive to out needs. The only real issue was the Internet kept going out witch the tv requires for viewing. We visited during the winter.
Very clean and well-equipped house. Ideal for families and people traveling with pets. Nice and warm, thanks to floor heating and pellet stove. Great beds with super comfortable matresses!
Cozy and modern inside with pretty much everything we needed. I appreciated being able to do laundry as we stayed 8 days. We drove north as far as Willow and south as far as Cooper Landing, but Eagle River had what we needed for theost part. The neighboring property was a little scary, but there were no problems.
Tall grass just used weedeater not mowed back porch falling off missing screens/window, grass tracked in house. Neighbors up all night doing who knows what outside. Deep mud hole on drive off highway.
Clean, good location, and very kind and professional host
Stayed at this location for 2 weeks during our transition throughout mainland Alaska. The owner/host (J.D) was extremely professional throughout the process, quick to respond to inquiries, and even alerted us when there was a bear in the area. The home was well stocked with everyday essentials. Highly recommend for anyone traveling through the Anchorage/ Matsu Valley area.
