Settle into a peaceful lakefront retreat on Blodgett Lake, just about 10 minutes from Wasilla and roughly an hour from Anchorage. This private top-floor lake house is designed for guests who want comfort, scenery, and easy access to Alaska adventure.

Start your morning with coffee on the south-facing deck overlooking the water. Spend the day paddling the lake, fishing, exploring nearby trails, or heading out toward Hatcher Pass, Talkeetna, Matanuska Glacier, Denali, or the Kenai Peninsula. In the evening, return to a quiet home base where you can grill on the deck, watch the lake, and unwind.

The home includes two comfortable queen bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, electric range and oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee makers, blender, rice cooker, crock pot, cookware, knives, and utensils. Complimentary starter coffee and tea are provided.

The main bathroom includes a rain shower and soaking tub combination, with quality towels, shampoo, body wash, and hand soap provided. With advance notice, an inflatable twin bed may be available for an additional sleeping arrangement.

The lakefront setting is one of the highlights of the stay. During the summer short-term rental season, guests can enjoy the dock, kayaks, canoe, pedal boat, and fishing gear. Life jackets are provided and recommended. Blodgett Lake is a peaceful, mile-long lake with a 15 hp restriction on motorized boats, making it well suited for paddling, wildlife viewing, fishing, and quiet relaxation.

The south-facing deck includes outdoor seating and a propane grill, creating an easy place to enjoy meals with a lake view. A lakeside fire ring is available when local fire restrictions and conditions allow. Firewood bundles are available for $10.

Inside, the home has warm Alaska character, including locally curated rock around the decorative wood stove and cabinetry crafted from Alaskan birch. The wood stove is decorative only and is not available for guest use.

The home has excellent drinking water from its on-site well, so bottled water is not needed unless you prefer it. A well-stocked grocery store, fuel, basic supplies, and outdoor gear are available nearby, with Three Bears about a mile away.

Arrival is straightforward. Navigation apps work well, with a scenic paved route and a brief forested dirt-road stretch near the property. Two guest parking spaces are located in front of the house, and a short flight of stairs leads to the private top-floor entrance with electronic keypad self check-in.

Whether you are planning hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing, day trips, or quiet time by the water, this lake house offers a comfortable and memorable Alaska home base.

We look forward to hosting you.

    One of the best VRBO’s we’ve ever stayed at. Beautiful, well appointed, exceptional attention to detail (even the knives cut well). Thank you Troy for your hospitality and sharing your relaxing lake home with our family. Five stars.

    Beautiful cabin by the lake with fantastic views. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Troy as we arrived he was just leaving. The cabin has the same vibe as the owner, warm and friendly. It was clean, quiet and peaceful. Our son did a little fishing just for fun and caught a salmon, he released it but the cabin has rods, paddle boat, life jackets for their guest’s convenience. We wish we could have stayed longer but our Alaska vacation had come to the end. Thank you so much Troy for sharing a piece of Alaska with us.

    We stayed here, along with our best friends, as part of our 25th anniversary vacation celebration. Troy has a beatiful home and everything you could hope for is provided, and then some. I highly recommend this property and would stay again and again!

    Loved this house on the lake. We used canoe to fish and caught some nice size trout. Good location to go to Palmer, Talkeetna, Hatcher Pass. Close to town of Wasilla and the town has a lot of major stores and restaurants.

    We throughly enjoyed our stay at Troy’s house in Wasilla! The property was beautiful with a stunning view of the lake. We enjoyed spending time on the lake, canoeing and fishing with the provided gear. The house was very clean and had all the necessary utensils and supplies for an easy stay. Troy was an excellent host and provided us with great information about the area and local things to do and sights to see. We absolutely loved our time in Alaska and would book with Troy again!

    The property is cared for and has about every amenity inside that you could think of. The place is very clean and well-cared for. It does have a bit of gravel road and driveway to get to it so be aware of that. Otherwise, we love our stay and would come back in a heartbeat

    This lovely home really impressed us! We met our host the day we checked in; he was kind and welcoming. He gave us a suggestion of a local scenic drive to check out, which we did. It did not disappoint! The house itself is so thoughtfully prepared to accommodate guests. There were phone chargers located in the kitchen and both bedrooms (which we really appreciated - I mean, who hasn't lost their charger when traveling?) So great to have that handy. Everything is labeled, so you know just which light switch belongs to which fixture. Having access to a washer and dryer was a big plus for us. The house was very clean and well furnished. Sometimes when you stay in a rental, you get the feeling that the furnishings are cast-offs from the owner's home - but this house feels very intentional in it's furnishings; the beds are comfy and the house is visually appealing. The home is nestled along the shoreline of a lake, and while there are other homes along the lake, the nearby houses are settled in among the trees, so you still have a feeling of seclusion. Very lovely property. Should my travels take me to Alaska again, I would definitely stay here.
