The premises was a walk out basement that was very nice & spacious. Kitchen had everything we needed. The bedroom was very comfortable, we only used 1 bedroom. There was a washer & dryer which was great as we were living out of our suitcases. if asked if i would stay there again my answer is defiantly yes.
What a wonderful discovery! We were lucky to come across this place at the last minute while traveling for my nephewâs wedding. The property exceeded our expectations â the house was spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed for our week-long stay. We all had the chance to enjoy the lake, making it the ideal spot to unwind.Scott was incredibly accommodating throughout our visit. He was a fantastic host, checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Weâll absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Alaska!
The property was perfect. There was a small maintenance issue, Scott was there in minutes, had it fixed quickly, and made things right. He takes his business serious and wants you to have a pleasant stay. If I could leave a separate review for the neighbors I would. They were friendly, kind, and also wanted us to enjoy our stay. We will stay here again.
Property was very clean and comfortable. Easy access on beautiful canal that led to a large lake. Owner available to offer sight seeing suggestions and even made us a map.
Our family truly enjoyed the friendliness of Scott and his neighbors. As well all the water toys were a hit with the entire family. Look forward to coming back soon.
I didn't have much time to enjoy the property or surrounding area as I was here for a work trip. Everything about the property was clean and well kept. Beautiful area as well. The owner was also very friendly.
We stayed at the house for the Last Frontier Pond Hockey Tournament and it was great. Very nice and clean with good amenities. We did not use the kitchen other than to make coffee but had nice appliances. Would like to come back in the summertime and enjoy the lake.
Scottâs property was everything I was looking for plus more
Scott was an amazing host! We needed a last minute place to stay in big lake for the last frontier pond hockey tournament and we absolutely lucked out with Scottâs gorgeous space. He made the check in process as easy as can be and treated us extraordinarily well. I would highly recommend Scott and his cabin to anyone looking for a great place to stay.
We had a fabulous time at this Big Lake property. It was clean, well-stocked with essentials, and easy to access. We enjoyed the paddle boat, grill, and dock for our boat. We liked the quiet channel where it was located as well. The host was available and communication was great. We will be back!!
Scott was a great host. We were a little early in the season, but we were able to use the BBQ grill, firepit, and boats, and we had a great time. We were in town for a wrestling tournament, so we didn't get as much time on the lake as we wanted, but we enjoyed every minute we did spend.
We unfortunately had an accident with his oven (our fault), but he's been understanding and great to work with to get that resolved. Would love to stay here again (maybe when it's warmer)!
We flew to Alaska from Ontario, Canada for my daughters wedding. Getting to this cabin on Big Lake was very easy and it was wonderful to be out of the city. This cabin was beautiful, quiet and had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. Scott answered all our questions quickly and made sure we were taken care of. I would definitely recommend this property if you are looking for a beautiful place on Big Lake.
Not recommended for families with children. Excessive rules and lists of additional charges complimented by stories of charges rendered by host with former guests. Uncomfortable trying to keep small children within requested rules.
We're vacationing in Alaska with two young kids - 6 and 1 year old, and did choose the property based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews.
We're not disappointed - the place was very clean, looked brand new, well organized, and had all the utensils, appliances etc we needed for a comfortable stay for our family.
The location is amazing - right on the lake, yet tucked away in a no wake zone for additional quietness. We did put the kayaks and pedal boat to good use. There is also a nice playground 5 mins away that you can kayak to. An additional highlight of our stay was listening to loons calling while sitting by the bonfire in the evenings.
The place is in a rural setting, yet close to a grocery store, gas station, etc if you ever need anything.
Scott has been super helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a pleasant stay.
If you are looking for a perfect place for a family vacation in Alaska, look no further!
Thank you, Scott!
This is our second visit to Scottâs place and my family and I had an amazing time. The kids enjoyed playing in the yard and on the ice. Our previous stay was during the summer and we took full advantage of the water toys (paddle boat, canoe and kayaks).
Scott was very easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable about the area and things to do. Overall great experience and we highly recommend a stay by the lake, you will not be disappointed!
We came in the winter for pond hockey that didn't happen, but were glad to find ourselves in a great location to enjoy all the Palmer/Wasilla area had to offer. We used our unexpected time to go icefishing, fattire biking along the Knik river, and we explored as far north as Talkeetna. No Northern Lights sightings this time, but otherwise, the perfect winter Alaska weekend! Thanks, Scott!
Property is hidden and very quiet in close proximity to lake and rivers/creeks. 3 hours to Denali National Park & 3 Hours to the Kenai Peninsula. An hour located outside of Anchorage. Great middle location for exploring. Several eating/restaurants & stores located within 5-20 minutes from location and easily accessible. Home was clean, atmosphere pleasant, river view was beautiful. Home owner communicated well and provided us with everything we needed, very friendly. Will definitely be back, I recommend this property over the others I have looked at. This property and home owner have the best reviews and after having stayed I understand why.
