This is a cool place with some historical references.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.
