"The room was very spacious and clean, and had a patio or balcony looking out to a beautiful lake. They did not offer breakfast- but they had a restaurant that we did not go to. We stayed there twice- on our up to Denali NP, and on our way back. There are no elevators, so the first time we were on the second floor- but on our return- we requested a first floor room- which was much more convenient! It was a very nice property- and I would stay there again if we are ever in that area!"

Lakeside Retreat with fantastic views

Lakeside Retreat with fantastic views

10/10 Excellent
"Wow! That was our first impression of this place, and it was also our lasting one.You truly get the best of both worlds here. If you want to escape, you have the peace and solitude of the lake, spectacular views of the mountains and glaciers, bald eagles roosting in the trees right outside the living room, and fantastic fishing. Yet you’re still close enough to town to enjoy restaurants, shopping, and that wonderful sense of the local Alaskan community.Everything you need to enjoy the lake is right there—fishing rods, life jackets, canoes, pedal boats, and a rowing boat. There is also one very large trout that managed to outsmart me for the entire stay!Staying here feels less like renting an accommodation and more like being welcomed into a small, family-run Alaskan resort. Stan and Brenda are absolutely fabulous hosts and make the experience even more special.During our stay, we took an overnight trip to Denali to experience the magic of the national park, but you certainly don't have to travel far to find incredible scenery and outdoor adventures. Hatcher Pass, the Gold Mine Trail, glaciers, beautiful walks, wildlife, and some of Alaska's most spectacular landscapes are all within easy reach.If you are looking for somewhere special to stay in Alaska, don't waste your time looking anywhere else. Stay here.We absolutely loved it and would return in a heartbeat."
