Alaska in October
This is a lovely home! We visited family in the town of Big Lake and took day trips north and south to explore. We would love to visit in the summer and use the kayaks. Beautiful location on Birch Lake. We definitely hope to return soon.

Very nice house.
We really enjoyed our time at this house. It was very clean and comfortable. We were spending most of our time with our son and his family, so we didn’t spend much time in the house.
Thank you for providing us with a ice place to stay.

Fantastic views and accommodations
We loved everything about this property...the only exception being that the beds were perhaps a little too low to the ground and the pillows needed to be replaced. However, we loved it there and our stay was great.

Big Lake
We were up for ATV / Fishing excursions in Willow. The property was pretty conveniently located to both areas. It’s just as indicated online it’s a new property and it’s a great place to stay. The lake is beautiful and you can easily access it. While we didn’t really have time to utilize the kayaks or John boat it would be great to be able to go out and wet a line. The house has all the amenities you need to enjoy a wonderful stay..I’d highly recommend staying here. Should we come back to that area I’d definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay
We were here for 2 nights in May and the place lived up to our expectations and needs. Beautiful on the inside and out. With each bedroom having its own bathroom gave us all some extra privacy. Kitchen was well appointed. The owner was very receptive to some minor cleaning issues. These did not take away from our stay nor would prevent us from staying again.
Negatives, and these are minor. TV. From our impression this was the let down but who comes to Alaska for TV. The channels seemed to be limited to those coming across the antenna. Couldn't find much else. Internet was capable of streaming so we did that in the evenings. The dock had part of the pathway below water, so we stayed away. However when we were there the lake/pond still had ice. The lake is small and surrounded by homes. Who wouldn't want to live on a lake. Not as private as expected but again it was nice to see.
The home was easy to find. We felt secure at the home as it is in a gated community.
If you need space, want something modern and in good shape, check this home out.
