  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Loon's Nest villa. It was clean and neat, the bed so comfortable, and the towels plush. Although the main house is rather close next door, we rarely saw anyone and it was not an issue for our situation. Having a washer and dryer makes packing a breeze! The views are amazing and constantly changing, the sunsets lovely and I even saw a few sunrises, which were equally beautiful. It has easy access to town and the highways and is not too far from anywhere. I highly recommend this villa and will stay here again when I return to Alaska.

  The cabin was everything that was advertised and the views of the lake and surrounding area was much more breathtaking in person than the photos could portray. The accommodations were very clean and well maintained and the owners were always nearby to answer questions, offer fishing tips, as well as sightseeing recommendations. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to relax in a beautiful setting that has plenty of shopping centers and restaurants within 15 minutes away. There was lots of local fishing, as well as ocean fishing in Prince William Sound just 2 hours away. I hope to get back someday; it was a wonderful trip!

  We just recently spent 8 days in Alaska at this cabin. The location and view were magnificient. The cabin had everything we could ever need. Was very clean and well maintained. The landscaping and flowers were awesome. The owners of the cabin were very helpful and made sure that everything was to our satisfaction during our stay. Fishing, boating, campfires were all available. Very quiet and secluded. The view from the enclosed deck where the kitchen table is located was unbelievable. To sit and eat and see that view daily was something I will remember. I would definitley recommend this cabin to rent.

  My wife and I stayed with Ron and Cindy for a week in Aug. 2011..My only complaint is that my wife out fished me almost everyday.. The location was great.. no traffic, beautiful lake, close to town with plenty of dining options. The welcome gift of Ron's own personally smoked salmon and then him supplying us with a large salmon fillet when we told him we wanted to do some cooking....perfect. all in all we had an amazing week and were considering trying to get the Loon's Nest again for our 10 year anniversery..Thanks Ron and Cindy!

  Owner response: Steven and Mandy, thanks so much for the review. It's always great to see our guests make use of the lake amenities, and get out in the canoe for some fishing. Hope you do come back for your ten year. Ron & Cindy

  My wife and two daughters, 8 & 10 stayed for 3 nights after a 7-day cruise. We chose this property because it was centrally located between Anchorage and Denali Park. It was a long 4-hour drive to Denali Park but we wanted the amenities that Wasilla had to offer ... restaurants and local attractions; plus it was only 45-minutes from Anchorage airport. When we drove up, I thought to myself ... Loon's Nest is more beautiful than their website pictures. Inside the cabin you have a beautiful picture window where you can have breakfast and stare out at the lake. The property is very well-maintained and what you see in pictures is what you get but there's more. The owners, Ron and Cindy, are the friendliest people and were very attentive upon our arrival. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had all the extra things so you only needed to provide food. We needed a washer-dryer, it worked perfectly. One thing we learned was that it does not get dark in summertime Wasilla. While the bedroom could be darkened, the shades for the living room and inside porch area did not completely darken the room. It didn’t bother our daughters too much but others may have a problem sleeping in the rooms other than the bedroom. For Floridians the evening fires at their lakeside firepit which Ron graciously built for us were ideal. The cabin had the Smores necessities which my daughters loved. We had perfect weather and nice warm sun so we took out the canoe and paddleboat and spent a lot of time sitting at the dock. My daughters also took advantage the cabin's fishing poles; they didn't catch anything but it was a lot of fun. They also loved running and playing on Ron's well maintained lawn and their family trampoline. Two questions from my daughters: "Can we stay here for a month?" and "Can we come back next year?" tells you how much my family enjoyed Loon's Nest. I did tell Ron that he had my dream vacation home. We would recommend the property to any couple or small family looking for the cabin on the lake getaway.

  The Loon's Nest was a perfect retreat for our family - from the spacious, well-appointed cabin to the dock on the lake with kayak and fishing poles provided! Located in a secluded, serene and gorgeous setting, I would absolutely recommend this property to family and friends.......and hope to return again someday myself.

  We stayed at the Loon's Nest for 3 nights and had a blast! The owners, Ron and Cindy, were quick to provide whatever extras they saw we could use. We felt well taken care of. The cabin was lovely and the views were fantastic. We were lucky enough to have a couple of sunny days. We swam and took out the kayak and paddleboat. The property was very well-maintained and exactly as represented. We would recommend the property to any couple or small family.

  Owner response: Cindy, We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. I must say that your young daughter was a pure delight to have around. Hope your parents made the best of their short stay in Alaska. Thanks again. Ron and Cindy

  Our family of 5 (2 couples and 1 single) had a fabulous time at Ron and Cindy's hideaway in Wasilla. When we first walked into the cabin we fell in love... with the view, the coziness and the Alaskan hospitality. Our canoe trip around the lake was rewarded by serenity and fall colors. In addition we encountered the loon and lots of spawning salmon. Ron was extremely helpful to us as we planned our outings. The kitchen was well-equipped and the beds and futons were very comfortable. It was a little tricky for the 5 of us to share the one bathroom. I would definitely return for another visit and would recommend this gem to another family. Thank you Ron and Cindy!!

  Owner response: It was a pleasure meeting you and your family and we surely enjoyed your company. It was good see you make use of the kayaks and canoe. Hope the rest of your Alaskan trip ended well on the Kenai Pennisula.. Thanks Deb and Marty.

  OUR GROUP OF FOUR STAYED 6 NIGHTS IN JULY AND HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME. THE CABIN IS THE PERFECT LOCATION FOR DAY TRIPS BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE MAT SU VALLEY REGION. THE CABIN IS WARM AND WELCOMING WITH FANTASTIC VIEWS OF THE SURROUNDING LAKE AND MOUNTAIN VISTAS. THE OWNERS RON AND CINDY WERE EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND THE PERFECT HOSTS. WE WOULD HAPPILY STAY HERE AGAIN FOR OUR NEXT VISIT TO ALASKA. WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO SEE VISITING MOOSE ALMOST EVERY DAY OF OUR STAY.

  Owner response: Merle and April, Glad you were able to take advantage of the many sights and doings in the area. Those moose ( a cow and two calves) did a midnight raid on the vegetable garden and left us about 1/3 of the produce. You were a pleasant group that we enjoyed having as quests. Thanks. Ron and cindy
