Summer
Located on Daniels Lake, the largest float plane lake in Nikiski. Located 20 minutes north of Kenai. Our duplex is 750 sqft, has all the ingredients for the perfect Alaskan getaway. This unit features 2 bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed and bedroom 2 a twin bunk bed. Fully furnished kitchen with quartz countertop and stainless steel appliances. This unit is equipped with a washer and dryer. Outside, you can look forward to eagle watching, trout jumping and maybe see a moose! Also dockside fish or just relax in the sun. If your up for an exciting experience, put on your bathing suit and swim in the lake! If your looking for more adventure, canoe, paddle board or trout fish (gear provided) on the lake. In our large beautiful yard you can enjoy games such as yard Yahtzee and Connect 4. In the evening enjoy making s'mores by the fire or take a relaxing sauna.
Other activities off site include Captain Cook State Park which is only 10 minutes away and includes a beautiful beach for beach combing, agate hunting and a wonderful park for camping or sightseeing. If your thirst for adventure still isn't satisfied try your luck fishing the Swanson River (also located 10 minutes away) for silver salmon. If you get the chance and don't want to brave the waters of Daniels lake the community swimming pool is located 15 minutes south and boasts a hot tub, water slide and a diving board. Whether you choose to stay a weekend or a month we want you to come and enjoy yourself and relax.

Winter
Winter months we are set up with an Eskimo ice fishing tent, in addition to an under water Aqua-Vu underwater camera so you can watch the fish as they approach you bait.

Guest may not do large amounts of fish processing such as is associated with dip netting*. We will provide the area, a table, water, trash can, etc. Small amounts of fish may brought inside for cooking. Any sign indicating fish processing has taken place inside will put 100% of your damage deposit at risk.

Beautiful Lakeside Location and Welcoming Host
Our host and her family were very friendly and helpful at all levels! I appreciated the time LeAnn took to orient us to her property, and her young son in turn oriented mine to the lake; my son had fun catching little fish while I failed to catch anything off the dock. The property itself is also beautiful; canoeing in a tranquil lake with the loons in the Alaskan summer twilight was sublime.

Always a great stay at the lake!
This was our second time here. Even though it was rainy, we still had a great time on the lake, fishing, and getting away from home for a weekend. The McCoys are always very helpful, nice, and happy to cater to us. The sauna was great every night to warm up from the rain. Beautiful property, and a fun time!

Peace and quiet by the lake
We were enchanted on our few days here (and would have happily stayed longer)! A very nice unit (one of two adjoining on the property of a very welcoming family). It fit me and my two adult(ish) sons well and we were quite comfortable. Great kitchen and we had all of our meals there, including using a very easy to operate BBQ. The lake is just down the hill and the floating dock is lovely for morning coffee, lunch, or evening drink. It’s Alaska so it can be windy and cold and rainy but always a beautiful sight. Two canoes and three paddle boards were available and I would have used them more if we were there longer. It was a perfect spot to chill for a couple of days and we also really enjoyed a trip to Captain Cook State Rec Area. Beautiful! We would happily return to this home again! Thank you to our wonderful hosts!

Great place, awesome hosts!
We stayed here for a wrestling tournament. It was a tremendous experience! The snow was still on the ground, so we're making plans to go back in the summer and enjoy the lake! Even with the snow, we had a great time. The kids were able to sled on the property, played with the hosts' kids, and we enjoyed the sauna. The McCoy's were very nice, friendly, and accomodating! We can't wait to go back

Awesome spot for kids
Our family came up here for a wedding and loved this spot. Our young kids had a blast playing in the yard and on the dock. Unit was very comfortable and host was super easy to work with. If we ever make the trip up north again would stay here!

Oasis of relaxation
Dragonfly was great! The lake is beautiful and serene. The sauna was amazing! We had the best night's sleep after 15 minutes in that sauna. LeAnn was a great host. She gave us suggestions of things to do around Nikiski, Kenai and the surrounding areas. The 2 bedroom apartment was top notch clean. On arrival a basket of goodies were on display for the taking. A big bonus and blessing was a washer and dryer. We would definitely stay here again😊

Fantastic Getaway!
Wonderful, clean, cabin that seemed to have those necessities that one might forget and even a few goodies for movie night. Pleasant atmosphere with beautiful Daniels lake view out the back. Available canoe and paddle board, fishing gear, chairs to enjoy the peace. The grill and fire to sit around allowed true relaxation. One of the best parts was the hostess LeAnn who was fantastic and patient. She came to our assistance as well as thankfully offered words of wisdom when we had a unique situation...or two. Hope to head back soon!

Beautiful lake, grounds and very comfortable accommodations.
My family had a wonderful time at this VRBO unit! The hostess was extremely friendly, helpful, and even had a gift basket for us upon arrival. We appreciated the TV with DVR, the modern and well equipped kitchen, the comfortable bedrooms, and the outside deck with chairs, table and barbeque. One of the most amazing aspects of this stay was access to beautiful Daniel's Lake, with the hostess providing paddleboards and canoes, as well as other sports equipment for games in the back yard. We also enjoyed the sauna. We definitely recommend this unit!

Beautiful, peaceful setting
We loved our stay here! We were in town for a family wedding and that kept us really busy most of our days there. We wish we would have had more time to enjoy all the property had to offer. My favorite was time on the dock, soaking up the beauty and peace. My kids enjoyed the canoe and yard games but would have loved more time to use them. The cabin was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. We highly recommend it! You won’t be disappointed!
