Amazing View

This property is so beautiful, that we ended up having my daughter's senior photos done there, instead of traveling to a different location like we had planned. The hostess was very accommodating, and even provided us with a later check out.

This was a great little over garage apartment for a quiet anniversary retreat. Highlights included the gas fireplace, a well stocked kitchen (including snacks and cinnamon rolls one morning), and canoeing on the lake.

Wasilla Stay

The house is perfect for what we needed. It has a microwave, washer dryer, refrigerator, stove, A TV with Roku that you can connect to your streaming subscriptions. If you’re looking for a place outside of Anchorage, this was very nice. The property manager is extremely friendly and accommodating. I would stay here again definitely.

Quiet Retreat with a Mountain View

This apartment was ideal for us. Quiet and space to walk, swim, and kayak. The weather was cool and rainy but enough sunny days to do everything we wishes to with our family. The owner was the best.

We enjoyed our stay at Stormy Hill. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We appreciated having everything that was at the property including the bottled water in the fridge. The owner brought us homemade hot cinnamon rolls, and they were so delicious. Thank you so much for everything.
