Paradise in Wasilla!
Absolutely beautiful location and easy access to main roads. Property was clean, organized, and very comfortable.
Very beautiful location. The owners were very attentive (ie: the wind was causing a tree branch to rub against the residence and it was dealt with quickly!).

Beautiful water location on Finger Lake
This clean and lovely boathouse cabin was just perfect for the four of us. The back deck overlooking the lake was our favorite spot to hang out while watching boaters having fun and planes taking off. Helpful hosts (live in main house on property) were responsive and kind to us. Thank you, Gina! We definitely would consider staying there again.

Great location, great house
We really had a great time staying here. The house is perfectly sized for a family, although it was just my wife and I. House was very clean and had everything you would want on vacation. The master bed was super comfortable. Five stars!

Great vacation home
This was our home away from home. Everyone felt comfortable there. We had some initial trouble with google maps not being able to find the address but once we got there everything was wonderful. Amazing views!
