This is a really special place. Not only are you staying in one of the most well built air cabins you will ever find, you will be surrounded by the beauty of Alaska. From canoeing at the lake by the house to staying up late and seeing the northern lights, I will find a reason to stay here again. Thank you again for the lovely stay, I am incredibly grateful.

Amazing property

This was amazing! The property was super clean and spacious. The beds were super comfortable. I felt right at home and seriously didn't want to leave. During our stay we drove to Valdez, which was great, and managed to drive to Kennicott. The owners were extremely helpful with all the questions. Thank you for allowing us to stay!

Gorgeous Lake House Retreat

We absolutely loved our stay at Roxanne’s beautiful cabin by the lake. We only had the one night here to break up our journey from Fairbanks to McCarthy and the only thing that was disappointing is that we couldn’t stay longer! The cabin is super cosy, comfortable & spacious with the most beautiful views of the lake & mountains. We felt very rested & relaxed at this peaceful location, which was absolutely worth the 45 minute drive from Glennallen… there was no where else in the area that was anywhere near as nice as this gem of a find! Little tip, our GPS didn’t quite take us to the address, it took us to the Nelchina Lodge turn in. So just keep going past here and then take the next left from here a couple of minutes up with the signpost McGinley. Thank you again for hosting us, we loved our stay and meeting you. 😊

Wonderful facilities & hospitality!

Roxanne & Allen & family we met were very welcoming, cordial, helpful in answering our questions & telling us about the area. The facility was clean, very comfortable bed, & had all we needed in a homey atmosphere. Our only frustration was the poor communication between vrbo & Roxanne. We did not have her phone number or address & she thought vrbo gave that to us. Consequently we were in the middle of nowhere & had no idea how to contact Roxanne by phone & no address to follow. That was frustrating & made us wonder if vrbo was a scam.

Best Rental in Alaska & Maybe Lower 48

Out of all the cabins and apartments that we rented in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Chena Hot Springs, Healy, and Seward, Roxanne’s cabin was the cleanest and most comfortable. We rented this cabin to be able to hike at the nearby Matanuska Glacier, which was my favorite activity in Alaska. Our guide on the glacier was wonderful & aware of everyone’s hiking ability. This cabin has all the necessary appliances in the kitchen and has beautiful views of the lake from almost every room in the cabin. The living room has an oversized leather chair that is extremely comfortable and a matching couch that is beyond comfortable. The bathroom is clean and functional. The reviewer who said to be sure and stock up on groceries, and gas was correct. We stopped at the one general store on Glenn Highway coming from Palmer. There were a few dry goods, such as macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes, but that was about it. We asked the cashier about gas stations traveling east, and she told us to turn around and go back to the one that we passed a few miles down the road. The owners live across the driveway, so you are expected to follow the rules and be respectful. I wish I had gotten there just a little bit earlier to have seen the trumpeter swan and her five babies on the beautiful lake in the back. I hope Roxanne has only respectful renters who are there to enjoy the splendor and magnificence of Alaska —in summer, not sure I have hutzpah to face winter.
