Nancy Lake is a popular state recreation site -- nearby streams and lakes offer some of Alaska's finest Salmon, Trout, and Pike fishing. It is less than 15 minutes from Deshka Landing. The area includes an extensive (foot, canoe, snow machine) trail and waterway system of connected lakes and rivers. There are 100's of miles of trails, some of which connect to the International Iditarod trail (which lead to Nome on the Bering Strait.)
Nancy Lake is a large lake (five miles long), and is perfect for a full spectrum of watersports and winter sports. Hatcher Pass, also nearby, offers scenic vistas, excellent hiking and berry-picking opportunities in summer, and skiing and snowmobiling in winter.
Favorite activities as reported by previous guests:

Enjoyed the paddleboat and the canoe. Tried for the elusive pike but to no avail. Scored on the Little Su. We caught 55 lbs. of King Salmon on the first try. Then 36 more on the second. Loved the picture perfect view from the living room and deck. House is well-appointed and comfortable. Went to Denali and rafted the river. Walked on the Matanuska Glacier. We saw moose, bald eagles, beaver, and endless forests and rivers. The mosquitoes are endless…took some getting used to. A beautiful, wonderful wilderness!

The Baxter family had a great time in Alaska! The cabin was so nice and cozy that we referred to it as “Home” during our four nights here. The view from the cabin is amazing. We especially enjoyed watching the plane take off from the lake! This place is so close to nature, you feel like you are in a tree house. This was our first time to Alaska and we are so amazed we are considering moving from our home state of Oklahoma (wanna trade homes? Ha ha!). Phil, John, Emma, and Kim Baxter Norman, Oklahoma

Once again a beautiful experience for the Hoover crew at the Nancy Lake Villa. Thankfully, weather conditions were much more conducive to snowmachining and we enjoyed 50+ miles of exploring in the Nancy Lake area. Evenings were filled with fun and laughter – mean games of monopoly and card sharks showing their stuff! We certainly enjoyed the quiet, family-bonding event! –The Hoover Crew

Wow! We will have stories to share about our experiences at the Nancy Lake Villa – from -30 degrees temperatures to an overflow rescue of two snowmachiners, to the recovery mission of the two machines – frozen in the overlow! Nonetheless, all are safe and the villa allowed a warm and cozy escapew from Mother Nature’s Winter Fury! The villa fit our family of five beautifully – we enjoyed the kitchen’s many cooking resources, comfy beds, large selection of books, games, and videos. We look forward to a future return! Thanks for the fireworks and hospitality! –The Alaskan Hoover Crew

Absolutely beautiful! The views from the decks are amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to hang our hats. –Kayn and Melissa Fort Collins, Colorado P.S. The loop is some of the best snow maching I’ve ever experienced. Thank you so much and we’ll see you in the summer.
