Location: Anchorage, Alaska, USA (10 minutes from airport, 15 minutes from city center) View Map
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 6)
This cozy lakeside cabin is 10 minutes from the airport. Walk out to the lake in the backyard and cast a line for rainbow trout; take the canoe for a spin; watch the wild geese swim by, or wade in for a swim yourself! While you will feel secluded at the cabin, within blocks you will find fast food restaurants, a first class 24 hour grocery store, and bike trails for riding or walking. Within a few miles you will find wilderness hiking, shopping malls, a bowling alley, and movie theaters.
From the outside it looks like a cabin but once inside you will find a modern, comfortable home. The master bedroom can be set up with a King bed or two Twins. With a trundle bed in the second bedroom,two more can sleep comfortably. Then, there is also a box spring futon in the bonus room, so there is extra room to sit and for two more to sleep. Add a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room and a living room and you have enough room for a large group if desired.
You will find that there are more than 3 million lakes in Alaska, but this cabin is on one of only 5 lakes in Anchorage with residential lake front property. We think our lake (Jewel Lake) is the nicest of the 5 because boaters cannot use outboard motors and we only have the occasional noisy float plane landing on the lake.
You can hear our loons' wild calls during the daylight hours. Canada Geese often bring their new fuzzy families to our backyard to munch on the lawn. An Osprey frequents the lake and can be seen catching fish in its own unique way. And bald eagles (a common sight to Alaskans) frequent the lake as well.
We hope we can share our dream come true property with you sometime soon!

It was a fulfillment of a dream.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Since our cabin is on lakefront property you can walk across the lawn and step onto the dock for fishing, boating and swimming. If you had one you could dock a float plane at our dock. The large yard gives you plenty of room for outdoor activities. It is very quiet and you feel like you are not in a city yet you are. And for those interested there is a public park next door.
