*We have 2 units, if you don't see availability here check VRBO #1024594 for more availability.*

Summer
Located on Daniels Lake, the largest float plane lake in Nikiski. Located 20 minutes north of Kenai. Our duplex is 750 sqft, has all the ingredients for the perfect Alaskan getaway. This unit features 2 bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed and bedroom 2 a twin bunk bed. Fully furnished kitchen with quartz countertop and stainless steel appliances. This unit is equipped with a washer and dryer. Outside, you can look forward to eagle watching, trout jumping and maybe see a moose! Also dockside fish or just relax in the sun. If your up for an exciting experience, put on your bathing suit and swim in the lake! If your looking for more adventure, canoe, paddle board or trout fish (gear provided) on the lake. In our large beautiful yard you can enjoy games such as yard Yahtzee and Connect 4. In the evening enjoy making s'mores by the fire or take a relaxing sauna.
Other activities off site include Captain Cook State Park which is only 10 minutes away and includes a beautiful beach for beach combing, agate hunting and a wonderful park for camping or sightseeing. If your thirst for adventure still isn't satisfied try your luck fishing the Swanson River (also located 10 minutes away) for silver salmon. If you get the chance and don't want to brave the waters of Daniels lake the community swimming pool is located 15 minutes south and boasts a hot tub, water slide and a diving board. Whether you choose to stay a weekend or a month we want you to come and enjoy yourself and relax.

Winter
Winter months we are set up with an Eskimo ice fishing tent, in addition to an under water Aqua-Vu underwater camera so you can watch the fish as they approach you bait.

Fish processing MUST be done outside in a designated area. Fish may NOT be processed inside the unit or on the deck. Guest may not do large amounts of fish processing such as is associated with dip netting*. We will provide the area, a table, water, trash can, etc. Small amounts of fish may brought inside for cooking. Any sign indicating fish processing has taken place inside will put 100% of your damage deposit at risk.

Great place, awesome hosts!
We stayed here for a wrestling tournament. It was a tremendous experience! The snow was still on the ground, so we're making plans to go back in the summer and enjoy the lake! Even with the snow, we had a great time. The kids were able to sled on the property, played with the hosts' kids, and we enjoyed the sauna. The McCoy's were very nice, friendly, and accomodating! We can't wait to go back

Awesome spot for kids
Our family came up here for a wedding and loved this spot. Our young kids had a blast playing in the yard and on the dock. Unit was very comfortable and host was super easy to work with. If we ever make the trip up north again would stay here!

Oasis of relaxation
Dragonfly was great! The lake is beautiful and serene. The sauna was amazing! We had the best night's sleep after 15 minutes in that sauna. LeAnn was a great host. She gave us suggestions of things to do around Nikiski, Kenai and the surrounding areas. The 2 bedroom apartment was top notch clean. On arrival a basket of goodies were on display for the taking. A big bonus and blessing was a washer and dryer. We would definitely stay here again😊
