One of the best VRBO’s we’ve ever stayed at. Beautiful, well appointed, exceptional attention to detail (even the knives cut well). Thank you Troy for your hospitality and sharing your relaxing lake home with our family. Five stars.

Peaceful / Relaxing

Loved this house on the lake. We used canoe to fish and caught some nice size trout. Good location to go to Palmer, Talkeetna, Hatcher Pass. Close to town of Wasilla and the town has a lot of major stores and restaurants.

Everything you need

The home was perfect! Everything needed for enjoying our stay was there. The kitchen was very well stocked and everything including a paddle boat, canoe and fishing rods were there for us to enjoy the lake. Views were amazing. Troy was also a great host.

Great place to relax

The property is cared for and has about every amenity inside that you could think of. The place is very clean and well-cared for. It does have a bit of gravel road and driveway to get to it so be aware of that. Otherwise, we love our stay and would come back in a heartbeat

Beautiful home and beautiful view

The lake house was beautiful and had a beautiful view. We stayed one night to break up our drive and I wish we had been there longer. The host did a lot of little extra things that made it a really nice stay. We got to take our son out in the pedal boat for a little bit and he loved it!

Amazing stay!

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Troy’s house in Wasilla! The property was beautiful with a stunning view of the lake. We enjoyed spending time on the lake, canoeing and fishing with the provided gear. The house was very clean and had all the necessary utensils and supplies for an easy stay. Troy was an excellent host and provided us with great information about the area and local things to do and sights to see. We absolutely loved our time in Alaska and would book with Troy again!

Alaska Paradise

We had a blast staying in the Wasilla Lake house! It was a perfect week! Troy provided a perfect place for us and our son and DIL! His lake house has all the amenities and then some! He was very responsive and accommodating, plus he offered suggestions on places to visit that were great! We can’t wait to come again next year!

Family time

We had activities planned in Seward and Talkeetna so wanted a lake house for a family day relaxing at a house. This was perfect. Wife did yoga on deck, daughter read while my son and I canoed and fished. Great day. Nice well appointed house.

Alaska Charm in Wasilla

Beautiful cabin by the lake with fantastic views. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Troy as we arrived he was just leaving. The cabin has the same vibe as the owner, warm and friendly. It was clean, quiet and peaceful. Our son did a little fishing just for fun and caught a salmon, he released it but the cabin has rods, paddle boat, life jackets for their guest’s convenience. We wish we could have stayed longer but our Alaska vacation had come to the end. Thank you so much Troy for sharing a piece of Alaska with us.

Cozy and Peaceful Setting

The Northshore House was a perfect place to stay while we were in Alaska on business for 11 days. The house was fully stocked with everything to be comfortable and enjoy our stay down to every detail including soaps, shampoo and conditioner, coffee and a few light snacks in the kitchen. Beautiful Alaskan decor throughout and obvious attention to detail. Owner was attentive and responsive. We enjoyed the peaceful lake setting and furnished deck to enjoy dinner in the sunshine. Beds were comfortable with light down comforters and bath towels were luxurious. Would highly recommend this property for anyone wanting all the comforts close to town while seeking a peaceful setting on a quiet lake.

Thoughtfully appointed with the guest in mind

This lovely home really impressed us! We met our host the day we checked in; he was kind and welcoming. He gave us a suggestion of a local scenic drive to check out, which we did. It did not disappoint! The house itself is so thoughtfully prepared to accommodate guests. There were phone chargers located in the kitchen and both bedrooms (which we really appreciated - I mean, who hasn't lost their charger when traveling?) So great to have that handy. Everything is labeled, so you know just which light switch belongs to which fixture. Having access to a washer and dryer was a big plus for us. The house was very clean and well furnished. Sometimes when you stay in a rental, you get the feeling that the furnishings are cast-offs from the owner's home - but this house feels very intentional in it's furnishings; the beds are comfy and the house is visually appealing. The home is nestled along the shoreline of a lake, and while there are other homes along the lake, the nearby houses are settled in among the trees, so you still have a feeling of seclusion. Very lovely property. Should my travels take me to Alaska again, I would definitely stay here.

This property was absolutely incredible. Beautiful views across the lake, all sorts of boats available to access the lake. Almost can’t remember what the inside looks like because we spent as much time as possible relaxing outside on the dock and the deck. Listening to the loons was fairly unique for us. Would spend time here again if in the Wasilla area.
