We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin by the lake, and will be back. Working with & communication with the owner was top notch. They go above and beyond to be sure you have the best experience you can. Such a cute, quaint, clean, & cozy cabin which is close to all, but feels miles away.

This property is ideal for a couple wanting to have peace and quiet and then venture out for site seeing. Ideal location for north of anchorage. The accommodations were comfortable especially the bed. Had fun watching float planes take off. Haley had so many thoughtful items for us and was quite helpful helping us find her location. Would stay again in the future.

Amazing!!! The view from the cabin is awesome!! We could have spent our whole vacation on the patio! Haley, the owner, went so far beyond our expectations!! She is one of the kindest people we have ever met! She responded to every question that I had and gave me numerous suggestions about places to go, where to eat, and where to shop! You will not find a better place to stay!!
The view from the patio is AMAZING!

We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin! Haley was so easy to communicate with for directions to the property, check-in, and suggestions for fun things to do in the area. The cabin was ready when we arrived, and stocked with coffee, creamer, and other kitchen and bath essentials. We spent our time in the area taking tours to Katmai and to Hatcher's Pass. With being so busy, we extra appreciated the incredibly comfortable bed! I wish we had more time to spend out on the lake behind the cabin but that will have to wait for a return trip. We will definitely be staying here again!

Haley is an exceptional communicator on rental details and the house exceeded our expectations by a mile! Everything was so clean and well stocked. Our only regret on this vacation is that we didn’t stay here longer! The kayaks were a huge plus and the lake view is so peaceful. Do yourself a favor and quit looking at other rentals and book this place!

This was an excellent place to stay. It was located in a beautiful quiet and safe neighborhood with a fantastic view of the lake. Haley was a great host. She provided a lot of resources in the area. The house was very clean. It had a lot of charm. I recommend staying there for two people. It is listed to sleep five, but I’m not sure how that will work.

This was such a jewel of a find!!! The lake views are amazing! Big yard was perfect for games and relaxing. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook with. Lots of storage. Very clean and charming. The couch pulls out to a full size bed which we perfect for two people to sleep on. The queen sized bed is comfy, best nights sleep in a long time! The place is relaxing and scenic. We are already planning our next trip here! The host was friendly, informative, great communication and very accommodating to amall requests. Highly recommend and bring a book cause the deck calls for coffee and a good read!

The cabin is fantastic as are the hosts. Location gives you the feeling of being in the woods on a lake yet you are close to both Palmer and Wasilla. We grilled burgers with family that live in Palmaer so for us the location was perfect. There were times when the loons were calling in the evening, perfect "Up North" addition. I could spend the whole summer in the Cabin By the Lake.

It was good ! But very small.

It was a good stay! But the listing the way the room is layed out seems like it’s two bedrooms, when in reality it’s only one bedroom and a pullout couch. A bit misleading, but we still had a good time.
