Our place is in a unique corner of Alaska. This quiet retreat is located in a peaceful setting on a Salmon / Trout stream adjacent to Daniel's Lake. The cottage is 900 square feet, and is fully furnished with a queen bed in one room and a full bed in a semi-private room. There is a fully functional kitchen, and a washer and dryer for your use.
Daniels Lake is the largest lake north of Kenai, and supports a healthy population of Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden Trout, and two runs of salmon (both Sockeye and Silvers). Starting in late July and August the Sockeye make there final journey from the ocean to their spawning grounds in Daniel's Lake. In Late August and September the Silvers also run up the little creek behind the cottage. You can watch the salmon make their final leap from the fish ladder into the lake, only a few steps from the front door. This migration brings the eagles and other wildlife to the area. Although the creek is closed to fishing, the lake is open to sport fishing year-round. A canoe is available for your use, and advice is free!
The Nikiski area also boasts excellent beaches, the North Peninsula Recreation Center, (Nikiski Pool), Captain Cook State Park, numerous lakes, creeks and rivers for fishing in both summer and winter, several hiking trails, berry picking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmachining,
We are trying to preserve the Alaskan experience, by creating a retreat from technology. Sip your coffee or tea out on the deck, while listening to the rustling of the creek and the eagles nearby. We have a resident population of eagles with several nests nearby. Loons will be calling from the lake and moose are also frequent visitors.
