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.

*We have 2 units, if you don't see availability here check VRBO #1024594 for more availability.*
*For guests unfamiliar with dip netting, it is a local permit only activity, where local residents can net 25+ fish in a season.

Perfect spot for my Alaskan adventure.

This property was very clean. I slept great while I was here, the bed was so comfortable. Located on a peaceful lake and I was able to see moose and eagles a few times. Lots of thoughtful items like bear safety pamplets and bug spray. I loved my stay here.

We had a wonderful stay! The location right on the lake was absolutely perfect — we enjoyed the canoes, fishing poles, and life jackets that were provided, which made it so easy to get out on the water.The house itself had everything we needed and more. The hosts thought of all the little touches that make a big difference: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryer, Q-tips, laundry pods, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, trash bags, coffee, even snacks for a movie night.The amenities and thoughtful extras made our stay incredibly comfortable and stress-free. Truly one of the best rental experiences we’ve had — we can’t wait to come 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!

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!

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.

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

Great quiet getaway location!Our hosts, LeAnn & Tom, provided clear instruction and information from booking to departure! Helped along by wonderful insight, and even some borrowed gear, we had a great time exploring the area and taking in all the experiences the KP area had to offer. Definitely recommend spending some relaxing time in the sauna expertly built by Tom and, if weather cooperates, a canoe ride around the quiet lake is a perfect time.The duplex was nice, comfortable, clean & quiet. It's a short drive into the main areas but everything is easy to navigate. All the details have been thoughtfully considered and LeAnn is extremely responsive -- we left feeling like we'd been friends forever (thank again for everything LeAnn!).Would recommend with big thumbs up!

We had the best family weekend at this property! It was quiet, cozy, and beautiful! The unit was perfect for us, and had everything we needed. I loved that the kitchen had items such as a crockpot, rice cooker, basic spices, lots of pots, pans, utensils, sandwich bags, can opener, and wine opener, and so much more!The cards and board games was an added bonus! We enjoyed evenings of Scrabble and different card games together. The biggest highlight was the lake! Lots of fishing, and canoe rides! The little market in Nikiski had everything we needed for meals which was fabulous! LeAnn was so kind and helpful, answered all pur questions promptly and provided so much information on the surrounding area! A truly beautiful weekend with our family!

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😊

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!
