Creekside Cottage near Daniel's Lake

Our place is in a unique corner of Alaska. This quiet retreat is located in a peaceful setting on a Salmon / Trout stream adjacent to Daniel's Lake. The cottage is 900 square feet, and is fully furnished with a queen bed in one room and a full bed in a semi-private room. There is a fully functional kitchen, and a washer and dryer for your use.

Daniels Lake is the largest lake north of Kenai, and supports a healthy population of Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden Trout, and two runs of salmon (both Sockeye and Silvers). Starting in late July and August the Sockeye make there final journey from the ocean to their spawning grounds in Daniel's Lake. In Late August and September the Silvers also run up the little creek behind the cottage. You can watch the salmon make their final leap from the fish ladder into the lake, only a few steps from the front door. This migration brings the eagles and other wildlife to the area. Although the creek is closed to fishing, the lake is open to sport fishing year-round. A canoe is available for your use, and advice is free!

The Nikiski area also boasts excellent beaches, the North Peninsula Recreation Center, (Nikiski Pool), Captain Cook State Park, numerous lakes, creeks and rivers for fishing in both summer and winter, several hiking trails, berry picking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmachining,

We are trying to preserve the Alaskan experience, by creating a retreat from technology. Sip your coffee or tea out on the deck, while listening to the rustling of the creek and the eagles nearby. We have a resident population of eagles with several nests nearby. Loons will be calling from the lake and moose are also frequent visitors.

This cozy Creekside cottage feels like a warm hug from heaven. This home helps you reset and recharge. Nestled in the woods creating a quiet, peaceful place to rest. I definitely felt at home in this home and would highly recommend staying here. It is extremely clean and organized. We found everything we needed there; especially peace and quiet.

True taste of Alaska living
I styed one night at this property in mid-September. The hosts Lisa and Dan were super responsive and gave me great suggestions for supplies and food I would need for my fishing trip. Place was immaculate and well stocked. I got to watch the salmon swimming upstream in the back yard complete with a bald eagle in the tree top. Lake across the street was beautiful but unfortunately I did not have time to take the kayak out. Even saw the Northern lights when I left very early the next morning. Highly recommend this property

Splendid Home in the Woods
Really nothing negative to say about this place, as the hosts have created a wonderful vacation home in a great spot. The house was immaculate, and all that the listing says about the property is true. My husband and I were very happy to stay here, and I think a family with two kids who like the outdoors would love it (summer or winter due to the warm municipal pool with water slide not far away). We hope to return for a longer stay next summer.

Amazing!!
Could not say enough about how beautiful this place is, and how wonderful our host was. The fish running up the creek behind cabin, the beautiful lake, the eagles, loons… the wildlife was spectacular. Fishing the Swanson River, rock picking at Captain Cook Rex area.. just fantastic. Highly recommend!!

We loved everything about this property and Lisa was fabulous! The property was immaculate, the lake beautiful, Lisa went over and beyond in welcoming us with a super cute chalkboard poster on the front porch saying “welcome Sally and Dennis.” We will be sure to book with her again. Also her bed and sheets were oh so comfortable.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. We were able to see hundreds of large salmon migrating up the small creek while relaxing on the deck. We highly recommend this cottage.

Clean, quiet, remote
This cabin was perfect for our dipnetting trip. It had a cleaning table, was quiet, clean and remote. It had a fire pit which we enjoyed in the evening.
