A secluded getaway with a view

This was such an incredible place to stay! The host greeted us with fresh blueberries and raspberries, there was fresh bread and eggs waiting inside, we were treated to the northern lights, and we saw some beautiful birds through the telescope! The property was gorgeous, the hosts were overly gracious with their hospitality, and we got to see Denali while taking one of their several kayaks out in the lake. It is a must stay if you’re in the area!

Amazing family getaway!

The lakeside condo is amazing. Captivating view. Mackenzie is a doll providing fresh bread and eggs and even gave me the recipe for the bread. We didn't take advantage of the lake but next time. Our little one had a blast and it's definitely baby-friendly, with an unexpected baby gate for the stairwell. We were just planning to be hyper vigilant! The condo is super homey and we just loved everything about it. We even saw the Aurora borealis our last night. We would love to come back!

Lakeside Wildlife Condo

We enjoyed our time at the lakeside condo! Endless mountain and lake views, even if the clouds kept Denali peak hidden. We loved the beavers, swans, loons and moose (on the roadside)! Kayaks and peddleboat offered us a way to explore the lakeshore. It was fun to watch the neighbors take off and land with their seaplane. Fresh bread and eggs upon arrival were an added touch as well as the dish of prepackaged snacks! Thanks for hosting us at your special place.

Start to spring break Alaskan adventure

Great property in a quiet town not far from Talkeetna and Denali. Took a flight seeing tour and just enjoyed the area before heading to Fairbanks. Very clean and loved getting to know all the animals. Onsite hosts were quick to address anything we needed. Fresh bread and farm eggs were a nice touch along with the welcome snack basket. For the price the beds and pillows could be updated and some ice in the freezer trays to start out would make it even more perfect. We would love to stay again if we are lucky enough to be in the area. Thank you for the use of your property snd the great hospitality.

Beautiful property and apartment. Would go back if I’m in Alaska again. One thing I would suggest is better reading lights by the couch and chair. Old eyes have trouble without lots of light! Otherwise a fantastic stay all around.

One the best houses we have stayed in. The location was stunning over looking Trapper Creek Lake.

Mackenzie is an amazing host. The place was beautifully decorated with special touches. She even left us fresh farm eggs and home made bread. The property over looks Tapper Creek Lake which is amazing and a stunning view of Denali in the way distance. Unfortunately our trip was cut short by a night because of travel delays so we never got to experience the lake. There were paddle boards for use as well as a row boat. I will defiantly come back for a longer stay next time. All in all a wonderful house with so many amenities and really.strong Wi-Fi if you need to be connected.
