About this property
Dragonfly on the Lake 2, Sauna, Canoeing, Paddle-boards, Fishing
*We have 2 units, if you don't see availability here check VRBO #1024584 for more availability*
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 has a bunk bed with a twin over a full bunk. 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. 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. Silver salmon usually start running in the Swanson river at the start of August. 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 week 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.
Fish processing MUST be done outside in a designated area. Fish may NOT be processed inside the unit or on the deck. 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.
