This spot worked well for us. The hosts are very welcoming. It was easy to find and check in. We enjoyed the kayaks and view of the water. It is an additional 2 hour drive to Denali Park. We stopped at the North viewing spot and saw the best view of the mountain!

Loved the location; using their canoe, short ride to an amazing view of Denali. Hosts were very nice but not intrusive at all. Cooked all our meals; good utensils. Close to Talkeetna, N. Denali but in a quiet, peaceful location. Lovely patio on second floor, and also deck on the ground near the lake with campfire pit. Would go again, if lived closer!

Our stay was fantastic! The rental was very clean and comfortable. Host was very responsive. The shed with the lake toys was very clean and well kept. Paddle-boarding on the lake with a clear view of Denali was our favorite part of our vacation!

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!

A secluded getaway with a view

This was such an incredible place to stay! The host greeted us with fresh blueberries and raspberries, there was fresh bread and eggs waiting inside, we were treated to the northern lights, and we saw some beautiful birds through the telescope! The property was gorgeous, the hosts were overly gracious with their hospitality, and we got to see Denali while taking one of their several kayaks out in the lake. It is a must stay if you’re in the area!

Beautiful

Beautiful views. Host greeted us with fresh homemade bread and farm fresh eggs. Clean with a very unique bathroom floor. There is a telescope to get even better views of Denali. Host is on the same property if you need anything, but also far enough away to give you plenty of privacy.

Lakeside Wildlife Condo

We enjoyed our time at the lakeside condo! Endless mountain and lake views, even if the clouds kept Denali peak hidden. We loved the beavers, swans, loons and moose (on the roadside)! Kayaks and peddleboat offered us a way to explore the lakeshore. It was fun to watch the neighbors take off and land with their seaplane. Fresh bread and eggs upon arrival were an added touch as well as the dish of prepackaged snacks! Thanks for hosting us at your special place.

LOVED our stay!!

We had an amazing stay at this property! Everything was clean, new, well-stocked and comfortable. The property owners thought of every detail to make you comfortable during your stay, to include a fully stocked kitchen with tea, coffee, sugars and creamer, snacks, waters, soaps and lotion in the bathroom, and even an extra fan in the bedroom to keep cool at night. We had an incredible time out on the lake with the kayaks and pedal boat, and loved the view from the property. The goats, chickens and friendly dogs were just another bonus for us! Thank you to the host as well for such a warm welcome with fresh eggs & bread, as well as answering all our questions during our stay. We would highly recommend this property, and plan to return next summer.

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!

Start to spring break Alaskan adventure

Great property in a quiet town not far from Talkeetna and Denali. Took a flight seeing tour and just enjoyed the area before heading to Fairbanks. Very clean and loved getting to know all the animals. Onsite hosts were quick to address anything we needed. Fresh bread and farm eggs were a nice touch along with the welcome snack basket. For the price the beds and pillows could be updated and some ice in the freezer trays to start out would make it even more perfect. We would love to stay again if we are lucky enough to be in the area. Thank you for the use of your property snd the great hospitality.
