Big Lake

We stayed at the house for the Last Frontier Pond Hockey Tournament and it was great. Very nice and clean with good amenities. We did not use the kitchen other than to make coffee but had nice appliances. Would like to come back in the summertime and enjoy the lake.

Great stay in Alaska

We're vacationing in Alaska with two young kids - 6 and 1 year old, and did choose the property based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews. We're not disappointed - the place was very clean, looked brand new, well organized, and had all the utensils, appliances etc we needed for a comfortable stay for our family. The location is amazing - right on the lake, yet tucked away in a no wake zone for additional quietness. We did put the kayaks and pedal boat to good use. There is also a nice playground 5 mins away that you can kayak to. An additional highlight of our stay was listening to loons calling while sitting by the bonfire in the evenings. The place is in a rural setting, yet close to a grocery store, gas station, etc if you ever need anything. Scott has been super helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a pleasant stay. If you are looking for a perfect place for a family vacation in Alaska, look no further! Thank you, Scott!
