About this house rental
*We have 2 units, if you don't see availability here check VRBO #1024594 for more availability.*
Summer
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 a twin bunk bed. 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 and Connect 4. 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. 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 month we want you to come and enjoy yourself and relax.

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.

We had a wonderful stay! The location right on the lake was absolutely perfect — we enjoyed the canoes, fishing poles, and life jackets that were provided, which made it so easy to get out on the water.The house itself had everything we needed and more. The hosts thought of all the little touches that make a big difference: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryer, Q-tips, laundry pods, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, trash bags, coffee, even snacks for a movie night.The amenities and thoughtful extras made our stay incredibly comfortable and stress-free. Truly one of the best rental experiences we’ve had — we can’t wait to come back!

We had the best family weekend at this property! It was quiet, cozy, and beautiful! The unit was perfect for us, and had everything we needed. I loved that the kitchen had items such as a crockpot, rice cooker, basic spices, lots of pots, pans, utensils, sandwich bags, can opener, and wine opener, and so much more!The cards and board games was an added bonus! We enjoyed evenings of Scrabble and different card games together. The biggest highlight was the lake! Lots of fishing, and canoe rides! The little market in Nikiski had everything we needed for meals which was fabulous! LeAnn was so kind and helpful, answered all pur questions promptly and provided so much information on the surrounding area! A truly beautiful weekend with our family!

Great quiet getaway location!Our hosts, LeAnn & Tom, provided clear instruction and information from booking to departure! Helped along by wonderful insight, and even some borrowed gear, we had a great time exploring the area and taking in all the experiences the KP area had to offer. Definitely recommend spending some relaxing time in the sauna expertly built by Tom and, if weather cooperates, a canoe ride around the quiet lake is a perfect time.The duplex was nice, comfortable, clean & quiet. It's a short drive into the main areas but everything is easy to navigate. All the details have been thoughtfully considered and LeAnn is extremely responsive -- we left feeling like we'd been friends forever (thank again for everything LeAnn!).Would recommend with big thumbs up!
