Located on Daniels Lake, the largest float plane lake in Nikiski. Located 20 minutes north of Kenai. Our duplex is 750 sqft, has all the ingredients for the perfect Alaskan getaway. This unit features 2 bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed and bedroom 2 has a bunk bed with a twin over a full bunk. Fully furnished kitchen with quartz countertop and stainless steel appliances. This unit is equipped with a washer and dryer. Outside, you can look forward to eagle watching, trout jumping and maybe see a moose! Also dockside fish or just relax in the sun. If your up for an exciting experience, put on your bathing suit and swim in the lake! If your looking for more adventure, canoe, paddle board or trout fish (gear provided) on the lake. In our large beautiful yard you can enjoy games such as yard Yahtzee. In the evening enjoy making s'mores by the fire or take a relaxing sauna.
Other activities off site include Captain Cook State Park which is only 10 minutes away and includes a beautiful beach for beach combing, agate hunting and a wonderful park for camping or sightseeing. If your thirst for adventure still isn't satisfied try your luck fishing the Swanson River (also located 10 minutes away) for silver salmon. Silver salmon usually start running in the Swanson river at the start of August. If you get the chance and don't want to brave the waters of Daniels lake the community swimming pool is located 15 minutes south and boasts a hot tub, water slide and a diving board. Whether you choose to stay a weekend or a week we want you to come and enjoy yourself and relax.

Winter
Winter months we are set up with an Eskimo ice fishing tent, in addition to an under water Aqua-Vu underwater camera so you can watch the fish as they approach you bait.

Guest may not do large amounts of fish processing such as is associated with dip netting*. We will provide the area, a table, water, trash can, etc. Small amounts of fish may brought inside for cooking. Any sign indicating fish processing has taken place inside will put 100% of your damage deposit at risk.

    The property was beautiful and perfect for our stay. It was incredibly quiet and serene. We used the deck area and outdoor grill, enjoyed early morning coffee on the dock, and evening sauna sessions. The property owner was an excellent hostess and made sure we had everything we needed.

    This is an absolutely beautiful property and LeAnn the host is a well organized “detail oriented person” so you won’t have any problem finding stuff etc. My only complaints are: A. the main bed is a bit hard for my liking B. Like most rentals the knives were suoer dull (most guests don’t REALLY COOK like I do) and C. Ms. LeAnn is a bit (as we say here in the South) “persnickety” for a “fly by the seat of his pants, gregarious, dad” traveling w/ two well behaved young kids. A bit too many detailed rules to worry about I suppose that’s the flip side of “detailed & well organized” which I like & appreciate. Overall a good experience and the lake is just beautiful. If you have kids then HER KIDS should be considered “an amenity” as they had instant playmates! :-)

    LeAnn and family helped provide us with a great place to stay while we explored Nikiski and Kenai. The house was clean and cozy and they were very attentive to all our needs. You can’t beat a dip in the lake after sweating in the sauna. Would highly recommend this spot!

    We had a wonderful time here! Our family booked both units and there was plenty to do. Our hosts were extremely accommodating and easy to communicate with. We had so much fun on the lake. Amenities were impressive. Would definitely come back!

    This property was very clean and well maintained. The setting right on the lake was very beautiful. The location was good for us because we needed to attend multiple functions at the local High School. We didn't have the time to take advantage of amenities such as the sauna or kayaks but we did use the barbeque and firepit which was very nice. LeeAnn was very attentive and always responded to my texts in a timely manor. We had a very good experience here.

    This was our third time staying here. Our hosts were great, preparing the sauna Friday and Saturday night, which felt great after long days of wrestling. The location was great, it's beautiful there, and I can't think of anything I didn't like. Looking forward to our next stay!

    I enjoyed staying here very much. It is in a beautiful, peaceful area, and the location is picturesque yet easy to find and close to town. The home is lovely, beautifully maintained and clean, and I felt right at home. Leann was incredibly responsive and did everything she could to make my stay pleasant. I will definitely be staying here again in the future!
