Everything was as described. We stayed for about 3 weeks and the price was significantly less than a hotel. Our last day there, our hosts were gracious enough to allow a late check out. I'll definitely stay again.
LeAnn was a wonderful host and very easy to communicate with. The place was nicer than described and canoeing on the lake was a treat! We enjoyed our time there immensely.
Everything was great and accurately described. LeAnn was a wonderful host and I appreciate the time she took to show us around and make my family feel more comfortable.
My stay at Dragonfly was comfortable. All the accommodations listed were provided. The lake is lovely and it was fun to paddle in the canoe. I loved the fire burning sauna. The host was very kind.
This property was very clean. I slept great while I was here, the bed was so comfortable. Located on a peaceful lake and I was able to see moose and eagles a few times. Lots of thoughtful items like bear safety pamplets and bug spray. I loved my stay here.
the McCoys were wonderful.the property is beautiful and right on the lake we enjoyed fishing from the dock and the water toys.the unit was perfect for our 10 day stay.tjank uou for a wonderful time
The property is off the beaten path but it’s such a beautiful place. The owners were very nice and went out of their way to make sure everything was stocked and ready for my arrival. I would definitely stay here again!
It was great to be on the Lake , Canoeing , even caught a few rainbows Our host were very nice Comfortable stay !! Saw a young bear in Captain cook park
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!
We had a wonderful stay! The location right on the lake was absolutely perfect — we enjoyed the canoes, fishing poles, and life jackets that were provided, which made it so easy to get out on the water.The house itself had everything we needed and more. The hosts thought of all the little touches that make a big difference: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryer, Q-tips, laundry pods, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, trash bags, coffee, even snacks for a movie night.The amenities and thoughtful extras made our stay incredibly comfortable and stress-free. Truly one of the best rental experiences we’ve had — we can’t wait to come back!
This was our second time here. Even though it was rainy, we still had a great time on the lake, fishing, and getting away from home for a weekend. The McCoys are always very helpful, nice, and happy to cater to us. The sauna was great every night to warm up from the rain. Beautiful property, and a fun time!
This property is beautiful and off the beaten path. I loved being able to get away from everything and enjoy the peace and quiet at the end of a long day. LeAnn is a wonderful host.
Our host and her family were very friendly and helpful at all levels! I appreciated the time LeAnn took to orient us to her property, and her young son in turn oriented mine to the lake; my son had fun catching little fish while I failed to catch anything off the dock. The property itself is also beautiful; canoeing in a tranquil lake with the loons in the Alaskan summer twilight was sublime.
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
Great quiet getaway location!Our hosts, LeAnn & Tom, provided clear instruction and information from booking to departure! Helped along by wonderful insight, and even some borrowed gear, we had a great time exploring the area and taking in all the experiences the KP area had to offer. Definitely recommend spending some relaxing time in the sauna expertly built by Tom and, if weather cooperates, a canoe ride around the quiet lake is a perfect time.The duplex was nice, comfortable, clean & quiet. It's a short drive into the main areas but everything is easy to navigate. All the details have been thoughtfully considered and LeAnn is extremely responsive -- we left feeling like we'd been friends forever (thank again for everything LeAnn!).Would recommend with big thumbs up!
We had the best family weekend at this property! It was quiet, cozy, and beautiful! The unit was perfect for us, and had everything we needed. I loved that the kitchen had items such as a crockpot, rice cooker, basic spices, lots of pots, pans, utensils, sandwich bags, can opener, and wine opener, and so much more!The cards and board games was an added bonus! We enjoyed evenings of Scrabble and different card games together. The biggest highlight was the lake! Lots of fishing, and canoe rides! The little market in Nikiski had everything we needed for meals which was fabulous! LeAnn was so kind and helpful, answered all pur questions promptly and provided so much information on the surrounding area! A truly beautiful weekend with our family!
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😊
