We moved to Alaska and this was where we stayed when we finished our long drive on the Alcan. A truly beautiful home with wonderful hosts. Thank you for making our first days in Alaska so welcoming! The views are stunning and the house feels like a true home. We are very thankful!
This is a lovely home! We visited family in the town of Big Lake and took day trips north and south to explore. We would love to visit in the summer and use the kayaks. Beautiful location on Birch Lake. We definitely hope to return soon.
We really enjoyed our time at this house. It was very clean and comfortable. We were spending most of our time with our son and his family, so we didn’t spend much time in the house.
Thank you for providing us with a ice place to stay.
Becky’s house is very clean and sits right on Birch Lake. It’s so quiet and very comfortable. We had everything we needed. We would love to stay here again.
The property manager's communication and visit instructions were superb! The house was exceptionally clean and well-maintained and the kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, silverware, pots and pans, etc. This was an outstanding property; highly recommended!
My daughter and I stayed at this location. It was quiet and felt safe. The house is clean and the beds were comfortable and bathrooms were nicely equipped with soap and amenities. Kitchen was a great size of the counter, space and the gas stove.
Very clean, comfortable and roomy for couples or a family. Great experience from booking to completion. Host was very responsive to inquires. Property was easy to locate and quiet.
Would recommend and would definitely stay again.
Beautiful location and well appointed with everything you could need. We felt safe and secure with plenty of space for the three of us. The heated floors were amazing! Great views of the lake surrounded by frosty trees. We would absolutely recommend this as a place to stay!
We loved everything about this property...the only exception being that the beds were perhaps a little too low to the ground and the pillows needed to be replaced. However, we loved it there and our stay was great.
This property was amazing and Becky our hostess went above and beyond the call of duty. The property feels brand new and has the most beautiful, picturesque setting. The place was well furnished and well-appointed. I would stay there again over and over.
My husband and I came up to see our son an daughter in law and grandchildren in Wasilla. We spent time together with them at this home, went canoeing on the lake, shopping and flying my sons super cub.
We were up for ATV / Fishing excursions in Willow. The property was pretty conveniently located to both areas. It’s just as indicated online it’s a new property and it’s a great place to stay. The lake is beautiful and you can easily access it. While we didn’t really have time to utilize the kayaks or John boat it would be great to be able to go out and wet a line. The house has all the amenities you need to enjoy a wonderful stay..I’d highly recommend staying here. Should we come back to that area I’d definitely stay here again.
We comfortable home with amazing view. Great central location for all our daily adventures. Quiet neighborhood. Great communication and fast response on our questions !!
We were here for 2 nights in May and the place lived up to our expectations and needs. Beautiful on the inside and out. With each bedroom having its own bathroom gave us all some extra privacy. Kitchen was well appointed. The owner was very receptive to some minor cleaning issues. These did not take away from our stay nor would prevent us from staying again.
Negatives, and these are minor. TV. From our impression this was the let down but who comes to Alaska for TV. The channels seemed to be limited to those coming across the antenna. Couldn't find much else. Internet was capable of streaming so we did that in the evenings. The dock had part of the pathway below water, so we stayed away. However when we were there the lake/pond still had ice. The lake is small and surrounded by homes. Who wouldn't want to live on a lake. Not as private as expected but again it was nice to see.
The home was easy to find. We felt secure at the home as it is in a gated community.
If you need space, want something modern and in good shape, check this home out.

About the host
Hosted by Becky Goering
We are empty-nesters, having raised a large, blended family, all of which are now scattered around the country. We have 11 grandchildren, and we expect that number to grow.
Why they chose this property
We live in Kansas, but recently purchased this property in Alaska because we have family that live there. Our son-in-law is the builder, and he and our daughter are co-owners with us. We are excited about starting a business venture with our Alaska family.
What makes this property unique
The property was designed with senior living in mind. It is all on one level, with wide doors and hallway, and easy shower access. However, the cozy and well-appointed home, the lake, and frequent wildlife views will be a real pleasure for all ages. The property is located within a quiet and secure gated community.
