Dive right into the ultimate Alaskan experience in this gorgeous lakefront Anchorage home only minutes from the airport. With plenty of log and wood-inspired rooms, this home will have you torn between curling up in front of one of the two gas fireplaces or heading out on an adventure.
This 4,000-square-foot home boasts plenty of space, so the whole family can make it for your dream vacation. The large open space dining and living rooms will have you gathering together to enjoy warm meals cooked with love from the full kitchen (or with its prime location, you can have meals delivered!). There is also a limited mobility accessible private suite with its own kitchen, so part of the family can be independent if they want. The primary bath has a jetted tub for you to soak away your worries while the rest of the family can work out in the exercise room or play on the air hockey table.
This home is on a private lot set on the shores of Sand Lake with a boat dock and SUPs for you to enjoy. Just down the street, you'll find Sand Lake Public Access for winter access and cross-country skiing.

Beautiful house in a great location! However, 2 beds had dirty sheets on them, the blinds/curtain in the master are broken and won’t close, dirty dishes were in the dishwasher, they are mid remodel downstairs, the WiFi network and password had been changed from what was sent at check in. House had more than enough of a stocked kitchen, which we loved.

Excellent views of lake. Great house for large family. Just want to mention, the remote for tv in apartment did not work correctly. We switched out batteries with another remote and still didn’t work. Could not turn off tv or change channels. Had to turn off surge protector to turn off tv. Otherwise. I loved the house.

A great base but needs TLC
So many things just weren’t right/didn’t work. The curtains in the primary bedroom were old, the strings to close them broken or not connected to the base. Not all windows had coverings and for bedrooms that is an issue when sunrise to sunset is approximately 19 hours. Multiple doors and windows didn’t open. The barstools in the great room were all thread bare. The bathtub in the main bedroom was broken (stuff happens) but it was plug down you couldn’t release the water posing the question of when was it last cleaned? The outside was over grown including across stairways and windows.Probably one of the most dangerous areas was going down to the dock on the lake, with metal rebar sticking up from several of the stairs a serious trip hazard or worse if you fell on one.Aside from the warts, this was a big house that suited our multi generational family well. It is a beautiful lake. We easily fit around the dinner table. The BBQ was great, loved the back deck with nice patio furniture. Kitchen well stocked with plates and silverware. As I said in the title a great base needing someone to give it some TLC.

Perfect home for large family!
The perfect house for a few days of our Alaskan adventure! Plenty of space for grandparents, parents and kids. The kids did not want to leave! It was our homebase as we traveled to Palmer and surrounding areas to explore. However, the best part was coming back after a day of adventures and the kids getting the fish off the dock, watch the eagles fly and relax. The only thing I would caution about is that there are a lot of steps in the home and steep steps going down to the dock. Easy enough for most to navigate but a little challenging for the grandparents. Would definitely stay again or recommend to others!

Perfect house for a group of friends visiting Alaska for the first time. The lake front location, roominess of the house, proximity to the airport and drive ability to other cities made it a great vacation. Highly recommend.

Came for a wedding and vacay
This was such an amazing house we called it the party house but with the exception of our great niece who's under 2 yrs old the rest of us are over 50. We came for our daughter's wedding and stayed to enjoy AK! 10 of us enjoyed the house it was 4 couples and a couple of kids comfortably sharing a house. Some went down to the dock and got to see otters playing!! The view is breath taking, A once in a lifetime experience in AK!!

Great House with amazing location
The house and location was outstanding! The size of the house and the very strange layout was so cool! We had a small group of 3 coworkers for the first couple of days, then just 2 of us left m. We felt like we had a lot of privacy’s. We will definitely be back next year for work and will stay here

Spacious property; well-appointed
We used the property for a small corporate weekend retreat, with only those traveling from out of town staying overnight. LLots of space and beautiful views. The only issues we had were:
* access code didn't work, requiring a phone call to management to gain access to a backup key - resolved quickly
* dishwasher failed to work, so we washed dishes by hand.
