Start with the obvious: the view is amazing. The full width deck and picture windows look out onto beautiful Big Lake. If the clouds aren’t too thick, you’ll see Denali off in the distance.It’s a big house with plenty of room for the six people we had. And everything worked. Communication with Kathi, the owner, was excellent. The downstairs was cold, but there was a space heater. There was a pool table and foosball, which were fun. The water isn’t good to drink, so we had to bring in bottles of water. The road to the house is gravel and dusty.Overall, it was an excellent way to experience Big Lake! Five stars by any measure.
