Welcome to Jody’s Lakehouse, a cozy cedar home on eight beautiful acres overlooking Wasilla Lake. This peaceful lakefront retreat gives you the feeling of getting away from it all while still being conveniently close to groceries, restaurants and downtown Wasilla.
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, a small group trip or an Alaska adventure, Jody’s Lakehouse is a comfortable place to relax, enjoy the lake and make yourself at home.
LAKEFRONT LIVING
Wake up to views of Wasilla Lake, watch local birds visit the feeders, enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the water, or head outside for a day on the lake.
Guests have access to:
• Kayaks
• Canoe
• Pedal boat
• Fishing poles
• Water toys
• Dock
• Onsite boat launch
Spend warm summer days paddling, fishing, swimming, relaxing by the water or simply enjoying the view.
After a day outside, gather around the outdoor fire pit or relax in the year-round hot tub overlooking the lake and mountains. On a clear winter night, you may even be fortunate enough to see the northern lights.
In winter, the lake and property become a completely different Alaska experience. Snowshoes and sleds are provided so you can explore the trails, enjoy the snow or head out for a winter adventure.
THE HOME
Jody’s Lakehouse has two comfortable bedrooms, a full bathroom, laundry room and a warm, inviting living area.
The main floor is reserved exclusively for your stay.
Inside you’ll find a cozy wood stove, comfortable gathering spaces and everything you need to settle in and feel at home.
Great care is taken in preparing the home for every guest. Cleanliness is especially important to us, including freshly cleaned bedspreads between guest stays.
We use fragrance-free laundry detergent and avoid heavy synthetic fragrances and dryer sheets.
FULLY STOCKED KITCHEN
One of the things guests especially enjoy about Jody’s Lakehouse is the thoughtfully stocked kitchen.
Rather than arriving to an empty vacation rental, you’ll find many of the basics already here to make cooking and meals easier.
The kitchen includes:
• Basic pantry supplies
• Spices
• Coffee
• Breakfast ingredients
• Cookware and dishes
• Vitamix
• BBQ grill on the deck
Whether you’re making a quick breakfast before heading out for the day or preparing a family dinner after an Alaska adventure, the kitchen is set up to make your stay easier and more enjoyable.
HOT TUB WITH A VIEW
The year-round hot tub is one of the favorite features of Jody’s Lakehouse.
Relax outside while overlooking the lake and mountains, soak under the stars after a day of exploring, or warm up after a winter adventure.
It’s a wonderful way to slow down and enjoy the peaceful setting.

There is plenty of outdoor space for children and families to enjoy, along with the lake, trails and seasonal activities.
EIGHT ACRES TO ENJOY
The property sits on approximately eight acres with a large yard, lakefront area and walking trails.
Explore the property, enjoy a bonfire, relax by the lake or spend the day outside with friends and family.
The large yard can also be a wonderful setting for BBQs, birthdays, family gatherings, reunions and other special occasions.

Additional day-use guests are $10 per person.
GUEST ACCESS & PRIVACY
Guests have exclusive use of the main floor of Jody’s Lakehouse and the private hot tub on the deck.
The basement is a separate unit with its own private entrance and may occasionally be occupied.
The large yard and lakefront are available for guests to enjoy and may occasionally be shared with the host family.
The front door has a coded lock for convenient self check-in.
Jody lives about ten minutes away and is always just a text away if you need anything during your stay.
CONVENIENT LOCATION
Jody’s Lakehouse feels peaceful and private, but you won’t be far from the conveniences of Wasilla.
Groceries, restaurants, shopping and downtown Wasilla are all nearby, making it easy to enjoy a lakefront getaway without being far from anything you may need.
It also makes a comfortable home base for exploring the Mat-Su Valley and surrounding Alaska attractions.
A PLACE TO SLOW DOWN
What makes Jody’s Lakehouse special is more than the lake, hot tub or beautiful setting.
We want guests to arrive and immediately feel comfortable.
The home is thoughtfully stocked so you don’t have to bring every little thing with you, and we try to anticipate the things that can make a stay easier and more enjoyable.
Have your morning coffee overlooking the lake.
Take a kayak out on the water.
Watch the kids explore the yard.
Cook dinner together.
Sit around the fire.
Relax in the hot tub under the stars.
Wake up to another peaceful Alaska morning.
Our goal is for Jody’s Lakehouse to feel less like a rental and more like your home away from home.
EASY CHECKOUT
When it’s time to check out, simply gather your belongings and send Jody a quick text that you’re heading out.
No cleaning required.
We want you to enjoy every last minute of your stay.
MID-TERM STAYS
Mid-term rentals may also be available.
Please contact Jody if you’re looking for a longer stay or have questions about dates, gatherings or anything else that would help you plan your visit.
We would love to welcome you to Jody’s Lakehouse and share this special piece of Wasilla Lake with you.
