Our place is in a unique corner of Alaska. This quiet retreat is located in a peaceful setting on a Salmon / Trout stream adjacent to Daniel's Lake. The cottage is 900 square feet, and is fully furnished with a queen bed in one room and a full bed in a semi-private room. There is a fully functional kitchen, and a washer and dryer for your use.

Daniels Lake is the largest lake north of Kenai, and supports a healthy population of Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden Trout, and two runs of salmon (both Sockeye and Silvers). Starting in late July and August the Sockeye make there final journey from the ocean to their spawning grounds in Daniel's Lake. In Late August and September the Silvers also run up the little creek behind the cottage. You can watch the salmon make their final leap from the fish ladder into the lake, only a few steps from the front door. This migration brings the eagles and other wildlife to the area. Although the creek is closed to fishing, the lake is open to sport fishing year-round. A canoe is available for your use, and advice is free!

The Nikiski area also boasts excellent beaches, the North Peninsula Recreation Center, (Nikiski Pool), Captain Cook State Park, numerous lakes, creeks and rivers for fishing in both summer and winter, several hiking trails, berry picking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmachining,

We are trying to preserve the Alaskan experience, by creating a retreat from technology. Sip your coffee or tea out on the deck, while listening to the rustling of the creek and the eagles nearby. We have a resident population of eagles with several nests nearby. Loons will be calling from the lake and moose are also frequent visitors.

    Our stay was absolutely wonderful, we had such a fantastic time! The property was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed. Getting here was a breeze thanks to your straightforward directions. Our favorite part? The backyard oasis! We spent evenings by the fire pit and loved watching the fish in the peaceful creek. We’ll definitely be back- Highly recommend!

    We loved everything about this property and Lisa was fabulous! The property was immaculate, the lake beautiful, Lisa went over and beyond in welcoming us with a super cute chalkboard poster on the front porch saying “welcome Sally and Dennis.” We will be sure to book with her again. Also her bed and sheets were oh so comfortable.

    Our stay was absolutely amazing. We were able to see hundreds of large salmon migrating up the small creek while relaxing on the deck. We highly recommend this cottage.

    Such a nice and cozy stay! Perfect for our family of 3. Especially loved the baby gate for the top of the stairs! The porch over looks the creek and we loved keeping the door open to hear it. Owner was so kind and thoughtful. Definitely saved this place on our list of places to return to.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming cottage, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I was struck by how immaculately clean and comfortable the space was. It truly felt like a home away from home.One of the highlights of my stay was the lovely back deck, which overlooks a serene small creek. It was the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and soak in the tranquility of nature.If you're looking for a secluded getaway to recharge and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this cottage is the perfect choice. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a lovely and quiet spot to relax. I can't wait to return

    This cottage has everything you need. Neat clean and well stocked. There is a beautiful little creek in the back with salmon still in it. Had bald eagles visit daily. Went kayaking across the street. Also was nice and quiet. The host was super. Communicated very well with us. You need to add this place to your places to go to.
