Beautiful lake house!!

Awesome family getaway. The layout and room accommodations were perfect for us, six adults. Waking up to the sunrise & lake view from the master bedroom was amazing! The weather during our stay was rainy so we couldn’t fully enjoy swimming, boating or fishing off the dock. Loved cozying up with a book in the sunroom, bbq’ing some salmon from our catch on the Kenai, hot tub time, ping pong tournaments, giant jenga, Pac-Man & movie nights. We made day trips to Talkeetna & Denali National Park. Coffee stand and Three Bears grocery are just minutes away. Easy check in and communication with Kristina. We would definitely recommend staying here ❤️ thank you for sharing your home with us!

Exceeds expectation in everyway

The pictures do not do justice to this house and it’s location. The house was much larger than we were expecting which gave our group a chance to seperate and do different activities. The deck and Lake are the standout features. Entering the home for the first time and looking around gives you the feeling of relaxation. We rented a jet ski and pontoon boat to explore the lake and the rental shop was close to the house. The owners were awesome answering questions promptly. You will not regret staying here.

Alaskan getaway

We had a very pleasant stay at this property. It has gorgeous lake views and a spacious hot tub. It was also a convenient location for so many attractions from Denali down to Seward. Would recommend to anyone looking for a private home base to enjoy their Alaska vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Tim & Kristina Woolston

We are lifelong Alaskans with four spirited children and a variety of business and leisure interests. We purchased this home in 2015 and set about remodeling, doubling in size, and making it our "forever home", with enough room for family and friends for decades to come. We are excited to share this warm, spacious, beautiful property with you and your guests.

Why they chose this property

Big Lake (Lago de Grande), Alaska is the premiere playground for all Alaska activities. Boating. Jet Skiing. Fishing. Ice Fishing. Snowmachining. Skating. Sledding. Water Skiing. Sailing. Aurora borealis viewing.

We wanted a home that would allow us to make lifelong memories with our family and many friends.

What makes this property unique

Lago de Grande (Big Lake) is magical. The way the sun or moon reflects off Alaskan glacial fed waters is restorative and invigorating. Regardless of your interest or ability, there is something for everyone. You have to see it to truly appreciate all that Lago de Grande has to offer.
