Family Vacation

This place was amazing, had a great view of the lake and mountains. When you arrive you will have homemade bread and fresh eggs from her chickens that run around during the day. Its very peaceful and relaxing. We would 100% stay here again!

Amazing family getaway!

The lakeside condo is amazing. Captivating view. Mackenzie is a doll providing fresh bread and eggs and even gave me the recipe for the bread. We didn't take advantage of the lake but next time. Our little one had a blast and it's definitely baby-friendly, with an unexpected baby gate for the stairwell. We were just planning to be hyper vigilant! The condo is super homey and we just loved everything about it. We even saw the Aurora borealis our last night. We would love to come back!

Beautiful Penthouse Apt with Great Denali Views!

This Denali Penthouse is fantastic and we had a great view of Mt Denali right from the balcony on a clear day. The local property Mgr was one of the best we've ever had via many VRBO bookings!
