About this property

Authentic Alaskan slice of heaven

Welcome to our little slice of Heaven.

Presenting a 2400 sq. ft. home sitting on just over 5 wooded acres. There are 5 bedrooms, 2 baths an incredible view of the Talkeetna Mountains across the lake. Watch the Northern Lights dance across the sky in the winter months. During the rest of the year, you can watch a variety of waterfowl make the lake their home.

The outdoor hot tub sits on the deck, facing the lake. The deck wraps around three sides of the house. There is a fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor Barbecue to grill your fresh salmon or steaks. You can even have your very own gourmet chef cater you meals onsite. The dining room has a table that seats 10 plus there are another 6 bar stools at the kitchen bar.

The main floor has a living room plus a family room, bathroom, dining room, kitchen, and 1 bedroom. The upstairs has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The master bedroom has a vanity / sink in the room, with direct access to the bathroom. There is a TV in the living room, the family room, and the master bedroom with Roku and local channels. The gas fireplace in the living room is a nice touch to sit by and drink your morning coffee.

This is a perfect family vacation base. Meet your fly-in fishing guide or flight seeing guide right out the front door to start your day. Canoe, kayak, or cross country ski across the lake for some relaxation. Fishing galore year round! River fishing at the Little Su or Montana Creek, zip-lining in Talkeetna, or hiking at Hatcher's Pass are only a few of the invigorating activities that our little area in Alaska has to offer. Anchorage is about 50 miles southwest.

Family senior trip

Our family stayed in this wonderful lake house for a week. There was wonderful communication with the host the entire trip. They supplied a walker for me and even rearranged a main level bedroom to make sure I would fit. The house was about a 15 minute drive from town and on a quiet lake. We absolutely loved the peaceful nature it brought. The supplied boat, kayaks, and canoe were great. The only downside our family encountered was that we felt there was a little too much interaction with the owners during our stay, but upon talking to them about it a couple days in, it stopped immediately.

Outstanding Amenities

The amenities of this house made it stand out. My kids are still talking about all the things they were able to do playing outside - on the water and around the house. Jeanne and Jim were so welcoming and very hands on to our stay.

A Slice of Paradise

Jeanne & Jim couldn't have been more gracious! The house worked great for my family of 11 people. Beds were comfy, bathrooms were clean with more than enough towels for everyone. Only hoping we can return again someday. Thanks for an awesome stay!

Great getaway for the whole family

We stayed here with my sister in law and her family and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and comfortable, with plenty of room for the whole family. We also got to enjoy taking the boat and paddle boats out on the lake and playing around on the property. The hosts were extremely nice and allowed us to gather fresh eggs from the chicken coop, fresh veggies from their large vegetable garden and even left us some yummy cookies and fresh Alaskan Salmon. I would definitely stay here again!

Family fun

It was a great place to stay with lots of activities for the family with badmitton, croquet, kayaks, paddle boat and games. Fishing was not great but we tried. Plenty of room and the hosts were very welcoming.

One of the best vacation my family had!

Easy to find and owners are really nice! All you need to make your stay even greater is all provided to you. We brought along our boat and didnt even need it since they provided boats you can use! Little things like salt,paper, paper towel, pancake mix, fresh eggs in the morning and even vegetables from the garden that are there and available to use, I love it!!My kids enjoyed watching me get some fresh eggs in the chicken coop for breakfast every morning! We also brought our ATV's, althoug there are no trails near by you can still ride around. We celebrated my sons 5th bday here and let me tell you, everybody had a great time! Thanks Ms Jeanne for taking care of every little things down to what the boys may need, it sure was handy when I needed it! Cant wait to come here again with my family!!!! Love these place!!!!!

Family Adventure

The owners were awesome from Day 1 of booking and helped us to navigate our journey during COVID. Once we arrived they were so friendly and respectful of our privacy. The chickens were so much fun to interact with. The lake view was beautiful. The fresh vegetables from the garden were delicious. Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub every evening!! Even in the rain!!!!! Well stocked kitchen.

Great spot, people and home

First off, the hosts were incredibly nice and helped us out with all of our questions and planning our daily excursions to see Alaska. The property is beautiful and well stocked with anything you will need for your stay. The lake is beautiful and while the fishing was slow on the lake (very warm weather just prior to our stay) it was a great time getting out on the water and enjoying the beautiful landscape. The location is great and allowed us to go out daily and see many of the great sites in AK (Train, Denali, mines etc...). I would highly recommend this property and specifically the great hosts (Jeanne & Jim).

We had an amazing and relaxing stay.

Jim and Jeanne's house is a perfect place for a family/group of friends to get together and experience Alaska. We had a group of 10 that the house easily accommodated. The house was clean and we'll stocked. Just about anything you need they had there. The yard games, bicycles, boats, hot tub and fishing poles made this house perfect for us.

Unfortunately, a heatwave of record setting levels!

Not suitable for the size of my party! Should be capped at 10, 12 very max.. weather was a Hugh part of discomfort. Great people, the Hayes, with a sincere want for their guests to enjoy a wonderful experience! The location, outstanding; the exterior, outstanding and equipment was spectacular!!! My entire group enjoyed hot tub, grills all types of boating equipment. Maintenance and failing equipment should be addressed prior to guess arrival. Dave Sharp

Beautiful and relaxing paradise

This home is spacious, clean and comfortable and has everything you could need. Our group of 11 used this as a home base for local trips around Alaska and found ourselves enjoying the down time at the home as much as we enjoyed the trips. The yard, garden and flowers are beautiful. The lawn games were a lot of fun. The fishing and lake activities couldn't be easier to access. And, the hosts were incredibly thoughtful and helpful. Although we don't have kids, this is a very family friendly location. I'm sure you'll all enjoy this place as much as we did.
