Fantastic Stay and Property!
Lea was a first rate host - she was very responsive and helpful - she even sent us a list of activities to consider in the area! The house is amazing and had plenty of space for me and my family to enjoy while taking advantage of the water toys (kayaks, SUP, etc.) to use on the amazing lake! The huge kitchen and family room provided lots of amenities for the whole family! This is a one of a kind rental and I would highly encourage anyone to stay there when visiing Anchorage!

Great stay
Great place to stay when visiting Alaska. Very clean and great communication with the owners. Family enjoyed the kayaks and canoeing around Sand lake. Great time fishing. Best spot that I found was take the canoe and take a right from the dock about 50 yds to some lily pads. Kids were catching trout nonstop. Kitchen had everything we needed to make any meal. Comfortable beds and plenty of room. Even had a moose show up in the back yard. Really had fun here.
Thank You.

Beautiful Home w/ Amazing Views
The house was just as described and perfect for our two families of four to enjoy Anchorage together during Thanksgiving week. It is a beautiful home with stunning views of the frozen lake and mountains in the distance. We spent lots of time out on the lake ice skating, exploring and watching the ice fishermen. The location of the house made it easy to visit the downtown area. The host was very attentive and the house supplied everything we needed. I would definitely recommend for a winter wonderland experience.

Truly Amazing Home
We really enjoyed our stay at the house on Sand Lake. We spent most days enjoying Alaskan adventures. We spent our evenings enjoying a glass of wine on the deck overlooking the lake or paddling around the lake or playing games in the family room. The house is very comfortable. We felt right at home.
Lea was an attentive hostess. Communication was timely and very helpful. She offered great tips for adventures, restaurants and sights to see. Just lovely.
It's our greatest hope that we can go back again soon and bring additional family memebers.
