    Perfect location for hiking and kayaking. Gorgeous view (and access) of lake and mountains (best of both worlds). Host is super responsive and respectful of private space, plus a wealth of information about the area including tips on places to go and experience real Alaska. Highly recommend. Truly appreciate this being my first heavenly experience in beautiful Alaska!

    We had 9 adults in our group; 3 couples and 3 singles. We stayed in the lower unit. It was clean and welcoming upon arrival, although there was an slight odor. The views are amazing and relaxing. There were fishing poles to fish in the lake. Overall nice stay.

    God truly looked out for us when we booked here. We decided 2 years ago that Alaska is where we want to raise a family, so when the opportunity came, we packed everything and moved up here. We have never visited the state, and we have no family here so when first got here it was stressful in a new environment and the Mcann's have been a true blessing. They went above and beyond for us with everything from recommendations for food, fun places to visit, and amazing trails, right in your backyard. There are tons of fun toys on the property like sleds, ice skates, skis, and hiking sticks. We were concerned we wouldn't be able to use the lake, considering it was frozen, but the Mcanns took us out and taught us how to ice fish, which was great fun. We got to see moose, rabbits, and an array of beautiful birds, not to mention the gorgeous Northern Lights behind absolutely breathtaking mountain views! The Chalet is a once in a lifetime stay, and the Mcann's are now once in a lifetime friends. We hope to return soon, have to see those mountains in the summer.

    Vacation of a life time. We needed a place to be able to relax and enjoy the family. This rental was a wonderful place. The lake was so peaceful and enjoying. There were enough knee boards, kayaks and canoes for all the kids. It is quite a walk down the hill but the steps made it a little easier on the ankles. The mornings on the deck drinking coffee was peaceful and quiet. We had morning visitors - rabbits. Geri was able to give us some ideas and places to visit while rental her place. Thanks Geri. HIghly recommended.

    If you want a quintessential Alaskan experience, this is the place to be! My extended family came from all over the US and abroad for my daughter‘s wedding. We rented both units and the house very comfortably slept 15 people and could easily have slept several more. The decor inside was lovely and outside the colorful flowers were abundant. We enjoyed fishing and swimming in the lake. We spent hours just enjoying one another’s company on the large deck that overlooks Canoe Lake and the mountains beyond. Gerri was just a text away if we had any questions or needed anything. I can’t say enough about how canoe lake chalet was THE PERFECT SETTING for our family reunion!

    Kitchens were very well stocked. I didn’t realize how far to the lake it was nor how many stairs there were. Didn’t work for some of our family.

    My family and I rented out the whole house for an easter weekend getaway. We loved it! The views were beautiful. The property was stocked with everything one would need. And the host was extremely helpful. Definitely recommend!

    Great location right by the lake but above the lake enough so that the bugs are not and issue. The house is well stocked with almost everything you need and Geri was super helpful with any needs we had. They have boats and toys down at the lake which make it a fun stay.
