About this house rental
*We have 2 units, if you don't see availability here check VRBO #1024584 for more availability*
Located on Daniels Lake, the largest float plane lake in Nikiski. Located 20 minutes north of Kenai. Our duplex is 750 sqft, has all the ingredients for the perfect Alaskan getaway. This unit features 2 bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed and bedroom 2 has a bunk bed with a twin over a full bunk. Fully furnished kitchen with quartz countertop and stainless steel appliances. This unit is equipped with a washer and dryer. Outside, you can look forward to eagle watching, trout jumping and maybe see a moose! Also dockside fish or just relax in the sun. If your up for an exciting experience, put on your bathing suit and swim in the lake! If your looking for more adventure, canoe, paddle board or trout fish (gear provided) on the lake. In our large beautiful yard you can enjoy games such as yard Yahtzee. In the evening enjoy making s'mores by the fire or take a relaxing sauna.
Other activities off site include Captain Cook State Park which is only 10 minutes away and includes a beautiful beach for beach combing, agate hunting and a wonderful park for camping or sightseeing. If your thirst for adventure still isn't satisfied try your luck fishing the Swanson River (also located 10 minutes away) for silver salmon. Silver salmon usually start running in the Swanson river at the start of August. If you get the chance and don't want to brave the waters of Daniels lake the community swimming pool is located 15 minutes south and boasts a hot tub, water slide and a diving board. Whether you choose to stay a weekend or a week we want you to come and enjoy yourself and relax.
Winter
Winter months we are set up with an Eskimo ice fishing tent, in addition to an under water Aqua-Vu underwater camera so you can watch the fish as they approach you bait.

Guest may not do large amounts of fish processing such as is associated with dip netting*. We will provide the area, a table, water, trash can, etc. Small amounts of fish may brought inside for cooking. Any sign indicating fish processing has taken place inside will put 100% of your damage deposit at risk.

The property was beautiful and perfect for our stay. It was incredibly quiet and serene. We used the deck area and outdoor grill, enjoyed early morning coffee on the dock, and evening sauna sessions. The property owner was an excellent hostess and made sure we had everything we needed.

Great place. Beautiful property on the lake.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
This is an absolutely beautiful property and LeAnn the host is a well organized “detail oriented person” so you won’t have any problem finding stuff etc. My only complaints are: A. the main bed is a bit hard for my liking B. Like most rentals the knives were suoer dull (most guests don’t REALLY COOK like I do) and C. Ms. LeAnn is a bit (as we say here in the South) “persnickety” for a “fly by the seat of his pants, gregarious, dad” traveling w/ two well behaved young kids. A bit too many detailed rules to worry about I suppose that’s the flip side of “detailed & well organized” which I like & appreciate. Overall a good experience and the lake is just beautiful. If you have kids then HER KIDS should be considered “an amenity” as they had instant playmates! :-)
