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 cottage has everything you need. Neat clean and well stocked. There is a beautiful little creek in the back with salmon still in it. Had bald eagles visit daily. Went kayaking across the street. Also was nice and quiet. The host was super. Communicated very well with us. You need to add this place to your places to go to.

Clean cozy cabin in the woods with stream
We love staying at the cabin with a stream and peaceful woods. I even hopped in the canoe and turned circles on the lake on a windy night. The beds were comfy and the place was spotless with so many personal touches. We forgot to sign the cute little guest book, which I am sad about. We also broke the toilet seat somehow and they came and fixed it immediately. Very kind!

Absolutely Loved It!!!!
The Creekside Cottage was the perfect place for some rest and relaxation during a busy soccer weekend. The directions given were easy to follow. We were greeted at the door with a sweet welcome sign, easy check in process, very clean, organized and homey. It was a nice surprise to have waters already in the fridge and a wide variety of quick snacks. Extra blankets were available if needed. The creek right outside was the icing on the cake, our kids loved to watch the fish swim and jump the rocks on their journey. Wonderful experience and would highly recommend to anyone!

Great Place to stay!
This was a very nice place to stay! We were welcomed with a great sign on the front porch, which was a very nice touch! It was very comfortable and had everything we needed and wanted!! There were even some really nice amenities like hot chocolate, tea, coffee, instant oatmeal, granola bars, etc. which were very appreciated! They even had games and plenty of things to read about what to do in the area. There were binoculars there to use, which were great when we had the mama moose and her baby right next to the property. The stream in the back and lake across the street were really nice! We saw 1 salmon trying to make her way back to the lake! We enjoyed the canoe which was provided as well. The owner even stopped to help us carry it and put it into the water! The hosts were fantastic and were checking to see if we needed anything! It was also nice to have a place to do our laundry with everything provided. We enjoyed our stay here and felt very comfortable, like we were at home. Lisa even provided us with some lists of things that we might like to do. It was a very nice stay! I know you will enjoy it too! It is a long way to the other side of the Peninsula though!

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.

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.

Such nice proprietor, I was having medical issues when I was there. Lisa and her daughter, brought me some chicken noodle soup as well as Gatorade to help me! So caring and thoughtful, if we had just people like Lisa, her husband and family, our world would be perfect!!! Thanks to Lisa and Dan. God Bless!!

Stay at the cottage
This was the perfect stop on our first trip to Alaska. It was peaceful with the creek out the back door. We enjoyed canoeing on the lake. The kitchen has everything you need to cook your own meals. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We would love to come back in a couple years.

Quiet Getaway
This is the most charming little place, and we loved it. We were in AK for two weeks, and stayed here about halfway thru. We enjoyed some down time, did laundry to get us thru the second half of our trip, and enjoyed the peace this place offered. It has a full kitchen, full sized appliances, and stocked pantry. Plenty of teas, oatmeal, granola bars, etc, and coffee pot. We loved our stay here. Lots of space to spread out. The Creek is so relaxing to listen to. Also, has a great porch space, but the mosquitos were too bad to be able to enjoy it. Oh, and speaking of mosquitos, the owner provided bug zapper rackets, to zap the mosquitos with....one on each level. So very satisfying! The only downside for us, is that the bedrooms are on the lower level, and the bathroom is upstairs, but other than that, this place is pretty perfect.

Lovely house, great hosts
We had a beautiful stay in the house by the lake. The home is well furnished and comfortable and Lisa is a great local host. The weather was not great but I did get in a little time using the canoe on the lake and even caught trout for dinner. Having a washer and dryer was essential since we'd already been traveling for a few days and . Lisa stopped by a couple of times to check in on us. Thank you for a lovely stay.
