We enjoyed our stay. The kids loved using the kayaks. While watching them a bald eagle landed on the roof. It was amazing to see the wildlife there. Prefect spot on the lake for site seeing.

I couldn’t be more pleased with our stay in this adorable boathouse! We had a long weekend celebrating our anniversary with family and friends who were staying at a campsite on the other end of Finger Lake. It was helpful having the full kitchen to prepare meals in, even though we ‘broke bread’ at the camp. Hosts were active in their communication and exceedingly accommodating. The home is well appointed and the little details throughout are endearing. If you’re looking for a peaceful Alaskan retreat, you’ve found it…

Wasilla Lake House
We enjoyed our stay at the lake house. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clean, quiet and with great views of Finger Lake. It was exactly the week vacation we needed from the hot summer in Florida. If we're ever back in this area of Alaska we would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely Perfect!!
The check-in process went smoothly. The boathouse is a very peaceful and relaxing place. We enjoyed watching the activity on the lake like seaplanes, boats, paddleboards, the wildlife and more. We took the kayaks for a spin too. The boathouse was super clean and had everything we needed.Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect lake retreat!
Such a great "little" lake house that's not really little! It's a very spacious three bedroom two bath apartment. It's also very clean a tastefully decorated fit to theme. The owner was great and easy to communicate with. The lake views are incredible. We enjoyed watching the dogs and resident ducks!

Paradise in Wasilla!
Absolutely beautiful location and easy access to main roads. Property was clean, organized, and very comfortable.
Very beautiful location. The owners were very attentive (ie: the wind was causing a tree branch to rub against the residence and it was dealt with quickly!).

Beautiful water location on Finger Lake
This clean and lovely boathouse cabin was just perfect for the four of us. The back deck overlooking the lake was our favorite spot to hang out while watching boaters having fun and planes taking off. Helpful hosts (live in main house on property) were responsive and kind to us. Thank you, Gina! We definitely would consider staying there again.
