A Mountain
Retreat
Three nights at the foot of Mt Alyeska — slow mornings, a private Nordic spa day, and a lot of good food, together.
On the Agenda
Check-in
Arrive at Vail Haven anytime after 4pm, get settled, and choose your sleeping spot for the weekend.
Taco bar + settle in
Build-your-own taco bar, a welcome toast, and an easy first night together at the house.
Nordic Spa
A private soaking-and-sauna circuit at the Nordic Spa — the whole morning is ours.
Private lunch
Reserved table at Two Trees Bistro — shared boards and bowls after the spa.
Pasta making + gift bags
Hands-on pasta night at Vail Haven — gift bags come out after dinner for a little Little Luxuries surprise.
Free time
Open morning to explore Girdwood — the tram, a glacier hike, or just the porch.
Steak night
A proper sit-down dinner back at Vail Haven to close out the weekend.
Checkout
Pack up, check out by 10am, and safe travels home.

Directions
Girdwood sits about 40 minutes south of Anchorage on the Seward Highway — one of the most scenic drives in the state, hugging Turnagain Arm the whole way.
Outfit Inspo
Cabin Cozy
Flannel, chunky knits, wool socks — chili by the wood stove.
Nordic Spa
Swimsuit + robe, slides, and a claw clip — comfort over cute.
Alpenglow Evening
Dinner night — our excuse to dress up. Dresses, cute shoes, jewelry, the whole thing.
A Little Welcome Surprise
A thoughtful little surprise will be waiting for each guest. The details are still being chosen, but it will be something special to remember the weekend by.
