this property is absolutely marvelous. The cabin is pretty, restful, and inviting.
we were astonished at the thoughtfulness of the owners. Every item in a kitchen one could want, lots of water toys, and comfortable furnishings.
Jim & Theresa are delightful and we enjoyed both of them and their lovely rental.

We chose Jim and Theresa's villa for all the water sport activities offered right here at our own dock and that did not disappoint! We were missing a paddle one day so all 4 of us could kayak, and Jim promptly went out the next morning to buy one. I don't think I've ever met a more caring, concerned, and accommodating owner! I've stayed in several VRBO's over the years, and this is the first time that the owner was also present on the property. The upside of that was he was available to ask questions to frequently and was able to advise us on where to go, sites to see, etc. One thing I wasn't expecting was other family members and friends to be staying on the property while we were here too. All were respectful, but it felt like a revolving door of different people, and it made it a little busier (and at times noiser) than I would have preferred. Because of that, it wasn't as relaxing for me. I'm not sure if we just happened to get a busy week, or if it's like this all the time. Most would probably not be bothered by that, but if you are coming to Alaska to be left alone, this is probably not the best place. Otherwise, I enjoyed talking with Jim. He's a super nice and honest man. You can tell it's a bit of a hobby of his to host people (family, friends, and VRBO guests), and he prides himself on making sure you are enjoying yourself. It's hard to go wrong with that. Thank you, Jim and Theresa!

The villa at Nancy Lake was the perfect central location for our Alaskan vacation. The lake was beautiful and relaxing. The beds held our family of 6 comfortably. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck enjoying the midnight sun. Theresa and Jim were wonderful hosts.

Beautiful property and amazing views! Everything that you need in one place, very nice property and very well maintained. Very comfortable for 6 and we stayed 10 days.
The owners very nice and polite, and always makes sure that we had everything we needed as well as giving us ideas for places to visit.
Alaska is a beautiful state and The Villa is in a perfect centric spot if you want to visit Denali, Palmer, Talkeetna, and Anchorage where most of the attractions are located. Or if you want to spend a day on the Villa, go to the lake and enjoy the water toys and chill with a good book on the porch.

This was our second time back to this property at Nancy Lake. We love it here and Jim and Theresa are wonderful, welcoming hosts. Hope to be back next year.

One of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Theresa, Jim, and family were kind hosts. House has everything you could need. You’re within an hour of Talkeetna or Hatchers Pass if you want to explore, or just chill by the lake. There is a flight of stairs up to the house, and a short but sloped little trail down to a flat dock area, so just be advised if someone in the group has mobility issues. Would definitely stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. It was right on the lake with a beautiful view and it had all the necessary amenities. The property manager was right there in a cabin on the property as well to assist us if we needed anything. It was a wonderfully pleasant stay and we will consider the property again next time we are planning a vacation in Alaska.

What an enjoyable week stay during our Alaska vacation. Hosts are great and the property is gorgeous. We enjoyed fishing and kayaking. This location is perfect to explore the surrounding region. We toured Denali, Hatcher Pass and Independence Mine. We are already planning on our next trip to the Last Frontier and will stay on Nancy Lake if we are able. Thank you for everything.

Amazing View, great hospitality!
We had an amazing stay at Nancy Lake Villa. The view from the balcony is cool and serene. The house is cozy and had a homey feel for us. We appreciate the owner’s info of places to visit and Jim even shared his moose burger patty with us. Thank you so much, Theresa and Jim Wolcott!

The Wolcott Villa is one of the best VRBO properties we have visited. The location is beautiful and the house is absolutely stunning. The views from the main floor and master bedroom reading area are gorgeous and the house is extremely well equipped. The owners were very responsive and had a wealth of information on the lake and surrounding area. Our only regret is that we did not book a longer stay.
