Summer
Located on Daniels Lake, the largest float plane lake in Nikiski. Located 20 minutes north of Kenai. Our duplex is 750 sqft, has all the ingredients for the perfect Alaskan getaway. This unit features 2 bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed and bedroom 2 a twin bunk bed. Fully furnished kitchen with quartz countertop and stainless steel appliances. This unit is equipped with a washer and dryer. Outside, you can look forward to eagle watching, trout jumping and maybe see a moose! Also dockside fish or just relax in the sun. If your up for an exciting experience, put on your bathing suit and swim in the lake! If your looking for more adventure, canoe, paddle board or trout fish (gear provided) on the lake. In our large beautiful yard you can enjoy games such as yard Yahtzee and Connect 4. In the evening enjoy making s'mores by the fire or take a relaxing sauna.
Other activities off site include Captain Cook State Park which is only 10 minutes away and includes a beautiful beach for beach combing, agate hunting and a wonderful park for camping or sightseeing. If your thirst for adventure still isn't satisfied try your luck fishing the Swanson River (also located 10 minutes away) for silver salmon. If you get the chance and don't want to brave the waters of Daniels lake the community swimming pool is located 15 minutes south and boasts a hot tub, water slide and a diving board. Whether you choose to stay a weekend or a month we want you to come and enjoy yourself and relax.

Winter
Winter months we are set up with an Eskimo ice fishing tent, in addition to an under water Aqua-Vu underwater camera so you can watch the fish as they approach you bait.

Our host and her family were very friendly and helpful at all levels! I appreciated the time LeAnn took to orient us to her property, and her young son in turn oriented mine to the lake; my son had fun catching little fish while I failed to catch anything off the dock. The property itself is also beautiful; canoeing in a tranquil lake with the loons in the Alaskan summer twilight was sublime.

This was our second time here. Even though it was rainy, we still had a great time on the lake, fishing, and getting away from home for a weekend. The McCoys are always very helpful, nice, and happy to cater to us. The sauna was great every night to warm up from the rain. Beautiful property, and a fun time!

We were enchanted on our few days here (and would have happily stayed longer)! A very nice unit (one of two adjoining on the property of a very welcoming family). It fit me and my two adult(ish) sons well and we were quite comfortable. Great kitchen and we had all of our meals there, including using a very easy to operate BBQ. The lake is just down the hill and the floating dock is lovely for morning coffee, lunch, or evening drink. It’s Alaska so it can be windy and cold and rainy but always a beautiful sight. Two canoes and three paddle boards were available and I would have used them more if we were there longer. It was a perfect spot to chill for a couple of days and we also really enjoyed a trip to Captain Cook State Rec Area. Beautiful! We would happily return to this home again! Thank you to our wonderful hosts!

We stayed here for a wrestling tournament. It was a tremendous experience! The snow was still on the ground, so we're making plans to go back in the summer and enjoy the lake! Even with the snow, we had a great time. The kids were able to sled on the property, played with the hosts' kids, and we enjoyed the sauna. The McCoy's were very nice, friendly, and accomodating! We can't wait to go back
