House Rules
We do not charge extra for additional guests. We, as a family of 6, have had to pay exorbitant fees on far too many occasions so are excited to offer the use of our cabin for a reasonable price, no matter the size of your group. We believe in being fair.

We do not charge extra for additional guests. We, as a family of 6, have had to pay exorbitant fees on far too many occasions so are excited to offer the use of our cabin for a reasonable price, no matter the size of your group. We believe in being fair.
In light of our cheaper rates, we do ask for a bit of help on your end. We ask that you ensure your dishes are in the dishwasher and running (or newly ran) when you leave. We ask that you strip sheets and pillowcases, and along with towels, collect them in a large pile on the floor of the main bathroom so that we can get to laundry straight away upon arriving to clean. One thing my grandmother always taught me was to leave a place better than you found it, and we hope that is not asking too much from our guests.
If you choose to partake in any water activities, we do require that you wear a life vest. The information in the cabin will point out where to find those - please ensure they are put back where you found them. We are happy to share the use of our canoe. At this time, there are no other water toys, so please feel free to bring them for your summer enjoyment.
In the winter, if you would like to bring your snowmachine to enjoy the recreation in and around Big Lake, please do. Remember to ride safely!

We are a family of 6 that love traveling and spending time at our cabin. In our travels, we have found the price of lodging to be out of control at times, so wanted to share our blessing with others at a reasonable rate.
Mike formerly served in the US Air Force and now serves in the US Public Health Service. Toni spent 16 years teaching in Anchorage, and has been a Realtor since 2013. Together we have four children who love our cabin as much as we do, and always enjoy making the lives of others better as well. We are excited to share our home with you!
Why This Property?
Mike and Toni chose this property for a number of reasons. While Mike is a transplant to Alaska from Texas, his dream in moving up here was to own a home on a lake. Toni was born and raised in Seward, AK and loves nothing more than having access to water. In addition, our family enjoys winter sports such as riding snowmachines and cross country skiing.

Unique Benefits
Waking up with a view of Denali out the front window will never get old. Enjoying morning coffee on the front porch, looking over the lake, hearing the birds singing...the peace and serenity of getting away from it all has been amazing.

Waking up with a view of Denali out the front window will never get old. Enjoying morning coffee on the front porch, looking over the lake, hearing the birds singing...the peace and serenity of getting away from it all has been amazing. While the house is more of a 'house' than a cabin, the appearance of the interior is such that we feel that we are in a cabin, cozied up to the fire, eating popcorn, drinking hot cocoa and watching the snow come down. It is just so peaceful.
