Listen to the loons on the lake...

This property is located over the hill and through the woods- with a beautiful overlook view of Daniel's Lake. Enjoy coffee on the deck or on the gazebo next to the lake shore. Easy lake access for enjoying a canoe, kayak, or float plane.
Tranquil property with nearby store & restaurant. Nearby access to Captain Cook Park beach for agate hunting or hike the trail to Bishop Creek beach.

This 4 bedroom/2 bath home was built in 1983 as my parents dream home. It is a split level, 2-story home, with large windows in the living and dining area to enjoy the gorgeous Daniels Lake in Nikiski, Alaska. Updated (2017) carpet, paint and new kitchen appliances. No frills living here, this home is simple and comfortable. Ample space to move on the 4 acres of lake property. Home has washer/dryer, tub-shower combo upstairs bathroom, with a walk in shower in downstairs bathroom. (Please note: No extra freezer space available to store your daily catch we kindly ask you to make arrangements with any of the numerous local seafood freezer/packers to process your Alaska catch.) The Lake House is heated with electric baseboard and monitor heaters. Home shows some years of wear, yet has cleaned up beautifully and offers spectacular lake views.
We welcome you to enjoy the wooded tranquility. Be entertained by the moose roaming at will through the yard, the lake loons calling and enjoy the many species of water fowl on the lake. The large neighboring dogs are also friendly entertainment to anyone within the vicinity of their roaming of the woods.

Perfect family get away
Celebrating graduation and basic training send off for my son. We were looking for a quiet place to enjoy each other and nature. This house is amazing. My husband and son enjoyed fishing on the canoe and catching multiple trouts. My oldest and I explored captain cooks reserve and did lots of hiking and exploring. It felt like a true summer lake house. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there!!

Awesome house and hosts!
Had a great time at this house. Very quiet setting with moose roaming the yard and a crystal clear lake in the back. Had everything we needed and more than we expected. Hosts even moved in more beds to accommodate our group. Would definitely stay here again! Just an awesome place and friendly accommodating hosts!!
