Holiday rentals with a kayak in Alaska

Daniel's place was a great home-base for our stay in Alaska. It was easy to head a different direction every day as we took in the beautiful landscape. We definitely recommend this home for your next trip to Alaska!

The Wasilla Lakehouse property is beautiful inside and out! Very comfortable for our family of 9. The kayaks and paddleboards were a big hit. We spent a lot of time on the deck playing cards and visiting. There was an eagle flying around one morning and a moose walked across the lawn a couple days later. We also enjoyed watching the float planes take off and land. The beds and linens were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We wish we could pick the house up and take it back to Maine with us...it's so beautiful!

There aren’t adequate words to say for Troy’s place! It is amazingly beautiful and relaxing. He has done an excellent job of decorating and proving necessities for a stay. The beds were very comfortable. Be easy with the heat… it feels amazing on my feet (floor heated) but it will warm up very well… cools off slowly. I just wished I had planned on staying longer. Definitely #1 on our list.

Nicks place was amazing , clean comfortable and had everything you could think of . We paddle boarded and canoed without any issues . The jacuzzi tub was a bonus , I have young kids and they were entertained the entire weekend with all the extras supplied at the home toys and games . It made you feel right at home . I had one issue and nick came right over and helped me sort it out . We willl definitely be back !!!!

Cozy place, good location, worked great for our needs. Thanks!

Very comfortable stay , beds were super comfy ! Close to UAF. Very nice spot !

This was my second stay at the Aurora Hilltop Retreat and it was just as great as last time. Beautiful location, so peaceful and quiet. The king bed is amazingly comfortable and the kitchen has enough pots, pans etc to cook meals with ease. The pellet stove keeps the place so cozy and the hot tub outside the back door is toasty hot. If their place is available, I'd say snag it! The drive from Fairbanks is easy but you'll feel worlds away from town on this hilltop.

Beautiful area and sea views. Great home layout. Would stay here again and highly recommend.

The house was well taken care of and very nice to stay in. Every sunrise and sunset was picturesque. The lake was beautiful and refreshing. Loved the opportunity to step away from life at home and relax.

We had a great stay in this little cottage. It was exactly as represented, and Megan was very responsive to all our needs. The space was exceptionally clean and the perfect size for our needs. Just bummed we couldn’t stay longer but we will be back! Great space and location.

Great place perfect for a couple kinda tight space for parking but very close to everything in town would recommend!

Such a cool property overlooking the water and the mountains! We were able to see otters which was amazing! The sauna and fireplace were a lovely addition. Hope to be back in the future and stay longer!

I hesitate to let out the secret that is Eric's place. A 15 minute drive from downtown Talkeetna, it is an oasis on a beautiful lake. Everything was as described, and the beds were extremely comfy, the kitchen was well-stocked, and Eric promptly responded to any questions we had. We think it's a great value for the money and only wished the weather cooperated a bit more for us to use his lake toys. Eric also was quite flexible with our check-in and checkout times, which we greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Eric's place!

We loved our stay! The space was spotless, cozy, and full of thoughtful touches like local art, complimentary chocolate, and complimentary hot sauce. The ocean views and garage-style door made it feel like the best of indoor-outdoor living. The sauna, soaking tub, and Euro-style shower felt like a mini spa retreat. Great host, smooth communication. We would absolutely stay again!

Fantastic stay! We had a great time staying at Sam’s place! The views are amazing the location was quiet and peaceful. Will be staying here again! 100% recommend

This is the nicest and cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed at. It is better than described in every way. The view is beautiful and so are the surroundings. It is a very quiet and peaceful venue. Gina was always very fast to respond if needed. This place will exceed your expectations!

We had a wonderful time. What a beautiful lake and a wonderful hot tub! The cabin was so homey and had everything we needed. We enjoyed building a fire in the stove and watching movies while overlooking a beautiful lake. We would recommend this cabin and Shanna was very helpful!

Truly incredible place. The view is breathtaking - you can stare at it all day and watch the wildlife. We saw orcas, humpback whales, sea lions, seals, sea otters and a variety of birds all day long. It seemed like every time I looked outside some sea critters were playing in the ocean right below. So awesome. The stairs as others have said are a challenge but not dangerous, just a good workout! And they go by quickly. The cabin is well stocked with kitchenware / plates. My only suggestion for those traveling is to bring a personal blanket for sitting on the deck. I was surprised how much time we spent doing that. It just never got old. Definitely try the sea kayaks - such an awesome excursion. Overall a truly incredible place. Especially for adventurous spirits that want to experience tranquility. I hope to go back someday soon!

Amazing cabin with an exceptional view! Was quiet and calm and not too far south of Denali National Park. The Eagle nest was very nice and stood out as well

We really enjoyed our night at Sean’s place right on the slough—our front row seat to the changing tides and wildlife was incredible! Haley, the housekeeper, was super friendly and flexible with us—she really made our stay feel special. The whole experience here was super cool!

My husband and I loved staying here! Beautiful views to sit and paint watercolors when we were home, cozy bed, wonderful kitchen we cooked in and Bill is so great! We want to come back again to see the lights and the have more great chats with Bill. Really a great time! Thank you, Priscilla & Morton

Nice play to stay. Surroundings lake and mountains are beautiful.

The conspiracy hut was everything we needed and more. It was very clean, spacious, and fully stocked with necessities. Brad was incredibly accommodating. He answered any questions we had in a timely manner and made sure we knew what was available to us (lake toys, grill, fire pit, etc…) A huge selling point for us was the sauna! So relaxing and enjoyable. 10/10 would stay here again! If you’re looking for a fun place to stay in Big Lake - this is it!

Great host with a great little getaway!
