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:

Nancy Lake Villa Review

Wow! What a wonderful home! We truly enjoyed our week-long adventure. Jim was very helpful in directing us as to what to do, and where to go. We appreciate all his help. The home itself was absolutely gorgeous. The view, the decorations, the amenities...everything was fabulous. We were just a bit disappointed that the jetted hot tub was out of order, as we planned on using that every night, but the wonderful three-head shower in the upstairs bathroom almost made up for that! The fishing was terrible. Those pike have really cleaned out the lake, which is supposed to have trout, and salmon according to a tourist book we picked up in Anchorage. That's okay though. I'd forgotton what the sound of "nothing" was like! Sitting in the middle of the lake, in a canoe for an hour reminded me. Wow. Not even the sound of birds, or wind! It was wonderful. We really appreciated all the extras that came with the house. Plenty of towels and washcloths, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, spices, soaps, shampoos, laundry detergent and dishwashing detergent...everything you usually have to buy when you go on vacations like this. It was a really nice change. We used the grill every night to cook our food, which we were able to shop for in Wasilla (only about a half hour away) for reasonable rates. I wish the weather had been just a little bit better, as it did rain a little bit every day. That's okay too...we hadn't seen rain in Texas since May! Overall, one of the best trips we've ever taken. Thanks for helping to make it all so wonderful.

Jim and Theresa went above and beyond with this cabin! It had everything we needed plus more. Just little things like coffee and sugar were greatly appreciated. We loved the house, inside and out. My son had a great time with the canoe and boat. Didn't see any fish in the lake, but this cabin is located near so many great fishing spots including Willow Creek. We caught several HUGE King Salmon and brought them back with us on the plane. We bought a special cooler and checked it with our other luggage. We can't wait to put it on the grill. Will definitly be going back to your beautiful Alaska!

Thank you for opening this beautiful place to us. The weather has been amazing, the lake was beautiful and it has just been the most relaxing and serene place to be. We took advantage of the canoe and paddle boat, didn’t catch any fish, but also didn’t really care because I was just happy to be on a quiet lake taking in the scenery and enjoying “getting away” from “real life”!! We are sad to leave, but I’m sure we’ll be back! Austin and Katie Olah Australia

August 17, 2010 The Nancy Lake and cabin was wonderful. It served as home for our week long stay exploring the Anchorage area. Some highlights of our trip: Mt Alyeska: we hiked the North face and enjoyed the tram ride down. Nova in Chickaloon: Fantastic outfitters who we hiked the glacier with and took a rafting trip. Thunderbird Falls: just outside of Anchorage -- offers a nice one mile hike and waterfall Fishing in Whittier: although lots of rain, we managed some great catches Our trip is headed on for another week in Kenai area. We can only hope the next house is as great as this one. Aaron, Kristin, Penny, Philip, and Austin Milwaukee, WI P.S. This place is wonderfully stocked with everything except an iron ?. Most people probably don’t need one but we were here for a wedding. Enjoy your stay – we hope to be back soon.

This was the last place we stayed on our Alaskan adventure.The place was beautiful and very comfortable. We are a family of five and had plenty of room. The view of the lake was wonderful. Our three kids took the canoe out and had a ball, even in the rain. Kitchen was well stocked, lots of spices and such available for cooking. The place was nicely decorated. Loved the salmon measuring spoons and looked everywhere for a set of my own. (couldn't find any) The only drawback was the futon upstairs. My daughter slept there, and although it was very comfortable, there were no blinds on the windows or door and in July you know there is very little darkness, so she had a little trouble sleeping.Other than that this was a wonderful end to our family vacation of a lifetime. Jim was very helpful in finding us a place to freeze and store our fish that we had caught and brought with us from Seward. We got it home safe and frozen! Thanks for some wonderful memories!

What a great house. It's a home away from home. We had company up for the Iditarod and loved being here for the week. Thanks for the nice pans, dishes, and other quality items. Hope to come back some day!

Had a great three-day weekend! This space was comfortable and our time out here was fantastic! We hope to come out in the summer time to see what the views look like with no snow. Thanks so much!
