This was an excellent place to stay. It was located in a beautiful quiet and safe neighborhood with a fantastic view of the lake. Haley was a great host. She provided a lot of resources in the area. The house was very clean. It had a lot of charm. I recommend staying there for two people. It is listed to sleep five, but I’m not sure how that will work.

This was such a jewel of a find!!! The lake views are amazing! Big yard was perfect for games and relaxing. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook with. Lots of storage. Very clean and charming. The couch pulls out to a full size bed which we perfect for two people to sleep on. The queen sized bed is comfy, best nights sleep in a long time! The place is relaxing and scenic. We are already planning our next trip here! The host was friendly, informative, great communication and very accommodating to amall requests. Highly recommend and bring a book cause the deck calls for coffee and a good read!

We had a really nice time at this cabin. We spent our time on the water, and the host was so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the paddleboards immensely. If I am back in Alaska, I will definitely be back at this place.Thank you, Michael and Chanie

The cabin is fantastic as are the hosts. Location gives you the feeling of being in the woods on a lake yet you are close to both Palmer and Wasilla. We grilled burgers with family that live in Palmaer so for us the location was perfect. There were times when the loons were calling in the evening, perfect "Up North" addition. I could spend the whole summer in the Cabin By the Lake.

It was good ! But very small.

It was a good stay! But the listing the way the room is layed out seems like it’s two bedrooms, when in reality it’s only one bedroom and a pullout couch. A bit misleading, but we still had a good time.

This place was an amazing oasis of peace and tranquility. I appreciated all of the communication from the owners and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick or long get away. Conveniently located just a few turns from the Parks highway, it was easy to call this place our home base. Loads of bird viewing right from the lakeshore behind the house. Midnight sunset colors in the sky from the living room window will be a memory I take home with me for sure! Owner super responsive to communications. Neighborhood super quiet. Highly recommend this place!

15th Anniversary

My wife and I had the extreme pleasure of renting this cozy cabin for our 15th wedding anniversary and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with everything about it. Haley the owner was very communicative and the property was just how it was described. I hope we have an opportunity to go back to Alaska so we can stay there again.

Perfect location in quiet area

We stayed here due the location to the Grizzly Fitness Center for a basketball tournament. It was super close and perfect. Communication was excellent and the place was cozy and clean and just what we needed. Hope it's available for all the tournaments next year!
