This property is so beautiful, that we ended up having my daughter's senior photos done there, instead of traveling to a different location like we had planned. The hostess was very accommodating, and even provided us with a later check out.

This was a great little over garage apartment for a quiet anniversary retreat. Highlights included the gas fireplace, a well stocked kitchen (including snacks and cinnamon rolls one morning), and canoeing on the lake.

The house is perfect for what we needed. It has a microwave, washer dryer, refrigerator, stove, A TV with Roku that you can connect to your streaming subscriptions. If you’re looking for a place outside of Anchorage, this was very nice. The property manager is extremely friendly and accommodating. I would stay here again definitely.

This apartment was ideal for us. Quiet and space to walk, swim, and kayak. The weather was cool and rainy but enough sunny days to do everything we wishes to with our family. The owner was the best.

Quaint little piece of heaven on Lake Gooding. Not only was the place a perfect little getaway, but it is close to many places and the host Rebecca is amazing! She was get communicating before and during. She was happy to answer all my questions since I was traveling from the east coast to Alaska for the first time. If I get up there again will def be booking there!! Loved it!
