Hygge House (2 houses in 1 w/ SAUNA

The vibe of our chalet is centered around the Danish practice Hygge (hue-guh). We strive to cultivate a home away from home that makes you feel welcome, in the moment, relaxed & cozy. Just 15 minutes to downtown Anchorage & airport yet tucked into the cusp of 20 acres of undeveloped natural forest known as Griffin Park. The Alaska wilderness experience is right out your door. After a full day of exploring, the space is perfect for curling up with a book and a blanket in the basket chair by the window or settling into one of the comfy robes available after a nice steam in the sauna before enjoying a restful night on the super comfortable mattresses. The upstairs unit features a large kitchen stocked with essentials, living/dining area w/ vaulted ceilings. Peek-a-boo views of Cook Inlet, mountains & forests . Master br has a top of the line Birch brand mattress and topper plush queen bed & its own bathroom. 2nd br has 2 comfy beds, 1 Full & 1 Queen. There is also a fun whale tent bed topper option for kids (by advanced request only). Enjoy a moment to reflect and just breathe in our large cedar sauna. The downstairs unit is accessible via an exterior door or interior connecting staircase. So many things to love here: the peaceful location soothes the senses with the gentle babble of adjacent Rabbit Creek, walk into a front sunroom great for board games and puzzles (the chalet provides lots of those). Here you will also find an auxiliary sleeping quarters with a comfy queen bed! The loveseat also turns into a single bed. French doors open into the living room where you can stoke up a fire in our quirky German antique fireplace (not the main heat source) or kick back and enjoy a movie. There is a second pull out couch bed. We also have a bonus private alcove we call the Fox Hole. A fun tiny “bedroom” for kids to have their own space. The dining area pass through showcases our fully functional capriciously decorated kitchen.
