Spectacular View
Start with the obvious: the view is amazing. The full width deck and picture windows look out onto beautiful Big Lake. If the clouds aren’t too thick, you’ll see Denali off in the distance.It’s a big house with plenty of room for the six people we had. And everything worked. Communication with Kathi, the owner, was excellent. The downstairs was cold, but there was a space heater. There was a pool table and foosball, which were fun. The water isn’t good to drink, so we had to bring in bottles of water. The road to the house is gravel and dusty.Overall, it was an excellent way to experience Big Lake! Five stars by any measure.

Beautiful Lakefront Home
Beautiful house and location. This property has stunning views of Big Lake and easy access for water sports. We loved everything about this property. It was furnished nicely and very comfortable for our family of 8. We enjoyed dining on the expansive deck overlooking the lake and use of the pool table in the basement in the evenings. Owner was great to work with and check in / out was easy. We look forward to returning for a future visit!

Weekend at the lake
Great house with an easy to reach location. Perfect for a lakeside getaway with friends and family. Kitchen is fully stocked with appliances for preparing meals. Most importantly the host was very easy to get ahold of and responsive within minutes of messaging. Definitely would recommend if you are looking for a nice place to stay on big lake.

Big Lake Heaven
One of the most scenic lots on Big Lake! From a stable expansive dock, to an amazingly perched master bedroom, this property had it all. The view is exceptional! The beds were fantastic, a 10/10 sleep! It was an elegant Big Lake property, with ample space to entertain family & friends.
Kathy was kind & attentive. She ensured the home was very clean and tastefully decorated.
This is a First Class Big Lake property. We were so happy!

Great property with a beautiful view
This location was perfect for our group of 6. Right on Big Lake, with amazing views of McKinley! Loved the view and the multiple layers of deck along with the great dock. Didn't use the fire pit because we had great weather - but the camp chair came in handy for our larger group.

Beautiful place!
What a great weekend to unwind and enjoy the beauty of AK. The host was on point with communicating with us the whole way. The property is beautiful and we had a nice campfire and used the dock for our rental pontoon. Place was stocked nicely and very comfortable.
