This place is such a treat! If you're reading this, stop hesitating and just book it! The patio is great, the lake surreal. Just make sure you bring some bug spray, like everywhere else in Alaska, the mosquitoes can get to be a bit much.

Amazing lake views from the balcony. The views could be improved with some tree pruning, but overall excellent. The home has a rustic lived in feel, and a rural location but not too far from town. There were some minor inconvenience such as the window shade to the large balcony window would not stay open and some of the boards on the walkway to the pier were loose. This property brought back a sense of nostalgia of lake homes I had visited as a kid. The swimming deck in the lake was inviting and though expectedly chilly, the water was refreshing for a short swim. The downstairs bedroom bed could be improved with a memory foam topper. All in all, I very much enjoyed my stay.
