About this property

Cabin By The Lake centrally located, full kitchen, washer & dryer

This newly renovated, family friendly, cabin is located on Finger Lake with a view of the Talkeetna mountain range. You can fish, canoe, and snow shoe from the backyard. Rest and relax while you enjoy mountain and sunset views or warm by the fire. You are in a quiet area, but close to shopping and restaurants. Right on the Palmer Wasilla line, a great central location or home base for explaining all that Alaska has to offer in every direction. The cabin offers a great stay if you are a couple trying to get away, you are working remotely, or are a family taking vacation.

We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin by the lake, and will be back. Working with & communication with the owner was top notch. They go above and beyond to be sure you have the best experience you can. Such a cute, quaint, clean, & cozy cabin which is close to all, but feels miles away.

Amazing!!! The view from the cabin is awesome!! We could have spent our whole vacation on the patio! Haley, the owner, went so far beyond our expectations!! She is one of the kindest people we have ever met! She responded to every question that I had and gave me numerous suggestions about places to go, where to eat, and where to shop! You will not find a better place to stay!!
The view from the patio is AMAZING!

This was an excellent place to stay. It was located in a beautiful quiet and safe neighborhood with a fantastic view of the lake. Haley was a great host. She provided a lot of resources in the area. The house was very clean. It had a lot of charm. I recommend staying there for two people. It is listed to sleep five, but I’m not sure how that will work.

Great host, good location to the valley

Our 2nd stay. Very happy with the place. Fits what we are looking for when we come to town and visit family. Good for small families that enjoy a quiet setting in the valley.

The cabin is fantastic as are the hosts. Location gives you the feeling of being in the woods on a lake yet you are close to both Palmer and Wasilla. We grilled burgers with family that live in Palmaer so for us the location was perfect. There were times when the loons were calling in the evening, perfect "Up North" addition. I could spend the whole summer in the Cabin By the Lake.

Very nice little cabin with a nice view of the lake. The only issue was the very slow and inconsistent Wi-Fi. But not a super big deal.
