About this property

Come relax at the end of the road in our historic lake front home. Built in 1958 it is one of the first homes on the lake. Recent updates make it a comfortable stay for 2-3 couples or a family to enjoy fantastic views, play on the lake, or just relax on a large deck. We also have a patio with a fire pit and wood provided. Swans in the spring and fall, ducks all summer, eagles perch in the trees in the front yard. We have kayaks, paddle boats, a rowboat, canoe and a large dock, for your use, to enjoy the lake. We provide fishing gear for summer and winter. The home is located between Palmer and Wasilla, about 45 minutes from Anchorage airport. Come enjoy your private, waterfront home while you visit Alaska.

The Alaskan Sound

The Property is Outstanding. The pictures and description of this Home got me from the start of my search. People.... so much better than the pictures show and more "what you need right now" items than i can list. For example, I need a screwdriver.... heres one. I need an iron....heres one. Is our luggage under 50 lbs? What? A luggage weigher... yes everyone, they had it there! The Views from everywhere you look are phenomenal. I really dont think a camara can show what your really being Blessed with when you book this Home. Not in one picture, no way. The Sound, or better to say, the absense of city sounds is very remarkable. On day two the steady humming or buzzing in my ears i didn't know was there quieted. I could hear nature again. The Momma duck cuts through the yard, with her babies, heading for a swim. The fish jump, the wind sings through the trees, The Sun shines bright upon the waters surface looking upwards towards the mountain landscape. I'm tempted to say Magical. I would add rewarding and peacfull. Worth every penny... a real value. This is just a special home thats all there is to what im telling you. If only I had 10 thumbs. I would give10 thumbs up to these Hosts that I thank for making this place available for me to experience.
