Fantastic house on a beautiful lake. Kayaks, fishing rods but we mostly just enjoyed the deck with a small fire in the pit. Would definitely book again. Such a peaceful location away from the hustle of town.

Amazing stay!

Really enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful property and the nature was stunning! There was plenty of firewood and despite being off the beaten path, amenities were great. Super short drive to some great breweries and downtown Talkeenta which was so much fun! Peter was a great host and we couldn’t have asked for more

New Year’s vacation

We had the best new years week vacation. The house was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor Alaska activities on the frozen lake behind the house. Definitely a week the family will remember.
