Such a beautiful setting on March Lake. Remote, quiet, peaceful. Starry skies at night, Early morning calm on the lake, listen to the owls and loons. A well-provisioned and comfortable home not too far (about 20 mins) from Kenai activities.

Cabin was just as described! The location was right on a quiet lake with plenty of rainbow trout fishing! Cabin was in immaculate condition and our hostess was quick to respond with any questions that we had.
We would definitely stay here again!

This property was perfect for our Alaska adventure. We stayed at this property to celebrate college graduations with some fishing and exploring. The property is beautiful and completely stocked with anything you should need. There are two small lakes that you can canoe and fish. The lake across the road from the house is easy to access and is stocked with trout. The boys caught over 20 rainbows in two days, all were released for others to enjoy catching. The town of Kenai is about 10-15 minutes away and has a Wal-Mart and other grocery stores along with restaurants. Everyone slept comfortably and the internet was fast enough for streaming and phones. I would recommend anyone to stay here. I have no negative comments, this place was perfect for us!

Beautiful pice of paradise. True Alaska experience. Very comfortable and felt like home away from home. Owners responded quickly to every email prior to trip and the listing is 100% accurate. Directions provided were exact, which was very nice as this property is off the beaten path and streets are clearly marked. Will definitely book again in the future

We had the list amazing time. My grandkids swam a couple of time - very shortly! I was not hot. We fished, canoed, played games un the garage, and loved it! The only downside was no hot water. Host soggested turning off the furnace and back on. It did not work. I was too focused on my grandkids and having fun so it’s partly my fault for not informing them right away. We absolutely loved our time there!
4.0 / 5.0
Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay at this property. The listing is exactly as pictured and outlined. It was also well stocked with kitchen basics like flour, sugar, coffee, tea, etc. While bedrooms and bathroom were clean it, the house felt well loved and lived in. We appreciated the hospitality offered to use the fishing poles, waders, life jackets of all sizes and kitchen supplies, the house decor was so personalized and extensive that we did feel we were encroaching on the space at times and it was little discomforting. There was very little space or storage for our belongs on counters, shelves, drawers, dressers, etc. Internet was slow and inconsistent, and the supplied Netflix never connected. No worries, there is a extensive selection of DVDs and VHSs for all your entertainment needs. #bekindpleaserewind We did enjoy the Nikiski indoor pool one rainy day and several trips to Captain Cook state park, as well as the food from Ruby's/Stop & Go (order 1/2 of what you need. The BLT had 1lb of bacon!). They also deliver to the nearby Kassik's Brewery. A few other notes:
The firepit needs to be replaced and the wood was wet/not covered sufficiently, but that is likely from prior guests. If your goal is a quiet lakeside weekend, with state parks and the beach nearby, this is it! If you are looking to explore the peninsula, this is a little to remote to see a lot in a few days.
4.0 / 5.0
The place is very comfortable and well appointed. We had 2 problems at check-in: the cold water faucet in the bathroom lavatory did not work and the grill would not light. We reported the problem to the owner and the issue was resolved within a day. The place is a bit of a drive from Kenai, but worth it for the beautiful location. And we caught rainbow trout in the lake across the road using the canoes that came with the place.

It is a little drive but so comfortable when you get there.

The property is well equipped, quiet and comfortable. The area is pretty secluded and an awesome place for some R&R. If you’re flying with Alaska West Air - it’s close and easy to get to.

Cute lake house
Our family really enjoyed staying here. 3 teenagers loved the canoes and had fun on the lake. Plenty of sleeping space and had everything we needed. A little far from town but everything is so spread out on the peninsula that I’m sure it was normal. Saw caribou and moose on our drive there so that was pretty cool.

Great Alaskan Experience
Property was great, including a great outdoor gathering area with fire pit, and outside eating table. The scenery in the back yard is amazing, we even had a moose wander through the back yard one morning. Awesome experience!

Beautiful Lake House
We enjoyed our stay at the March Lake House. The house was very comfortable and in a beautiful setting. We loved canoeing on the lake, and the kids enjoyed playing games in the garage. The kitchen and house in general were nicely stocked, including a can of bear spray. We highly recommend this house to get away, unwind, and enjoy nature.

Heavenly
We were blown away by the house. It was comfortable and beautiful. We were able to cook and do laundry and sleep comfortably. We enjoyed sitting by the fire and listening to the loons and seeing moose twice! So happy we found this place!

Beautiful home & location
We really enjoyed this lake home - quiet and peaceful and everything was just as expected based on the VRBO description. The kitchen was well equipped with every pot, pan and utensil you would ever need. With COVID spiking again we prepared all of our meals “at home”. Entire entire place was spotless upon our arrival.
We had four of us in our group, very spacious with that number. We played shuffleboard, hiked around and enjoyed canoeing on the lake.
If you’re looking for a quiet getaway, this certainly a place to consider. We will be back!

Beautiful and Peaceful
This was a wonderful place to stay for our week in Alaska. House has almost anything you could need or want along with plenty of activities. We were out and about too much and didn't spend much time at the house, wish we were able to stay another week to just hang out at the house. Thanks for a wonderful trip, we will try and stay here again on our next Alaska vacation.

Amazing cabin for a family
Cute, clean and comfy cabin with 3 bedrooms with the loft. Loved the toys and movies fir our grandson. Garage was full of games and other fun things. We used the outside firepit and picnic area quite a bit. 2 canoes for the lake.
We had a moose one morning right outside the cabin and he hung around for more than an hour-long cool.

Heavenly get a way
This lake house is beautiful, with all the amenities and more from home. My family and I loved this vacation home. Our grandson’s almost 3 loved running playing in the water, trying to catch a fish and seeing some wildlife. We were not far from Salmon fishing in the Kenai river. I’m from Southern Oregon, I will definitely rent again in the future!🙂

Comfortable stay
Very nice property in a quiet location. We found this property met our needs to come back to after fishing, hiking and sightseeing many places on the Kenai Peninsula. The canoes were a nice addition to paddle around the lake. The property was clean and had all the amenities we needed.

Remote Location!
This place was very nice. If you’re looking for peace, relaxation, and no people this is for you. The place sits on a beautiful lake and has everything you need. It’s definitely a haul to Soldotna, but very nice overall!

Lakeside beauty
Didn’t want to leave this beautiful property. Listening to the loons calling, the moose sightings, and the silent beauty while canoeing on the lake was beyond words! Will be back on our next trip to Alaska!
