We stayed at the Lake House for four remarkable nights in early August 2016! When we arrived, Sylvie had baked us cookies and cranberry bread, as well as given us a bottle of white wine to congratulate our upcoming nuptials! The guests included, us - the bride and groom, one family of four with eight year old and four year old girls and another family of three with a twelve year old girl. There was an abundance of room and we were all extremely comfortable! We slept in the master suite, the smaller cabin housed the two bigger girls and the larger cabin housed the newer couple. All our parents and friends and family came over throughout the weekend to visit, eat and enjoy the fantastic lakefront views. We even rented kayaks and canoes and had them delivered for transporting to the nearby Quartz Creek campground "rehearsal dinner" party we had the night before our big day.

Internet and phone service were spectacular and absolutely essential for planning last minute details and family coordination! We found an iron for our fancy clothes, as well as an abundance of towels and kitchen items! Aside from these details, all we can say is "WOW! Unbelievable views and beach access!" My mom said she preferred our VRBO rental to the one she rented on the other side of the lake (over the bridge at the river mouth) because the Lake House is a home and [mom's] rental felt more like a real estate venture. Furthermore, it feels like you are completely surrounded by nature! Mountains, glacier lake, spruce-forrest, fireweed, berries...everything Alaska has to offer in the outdoors. It is very beautiful, serene and feels like you have the entire lake to yourself! There are neighbors; in fact - the groom grew up in Alaska and his family neighbors in Anchorage were actually 2 or 3 cabins down the lakeshore where they have now chosen to have an escape cabin for getaways! We got to meet up with them a couple times right at our beachfront! Unbelievably beautiful, small world in this quaint setting.

Views are spectacular regardless of the weather and we even took our wedding pictures at the lake house instead of at our venue (down the street at Cooper Landing Community Hall (also a wonderful venue with enough room for a larger party of people)).

Opening and closing the lake house was easy. We even used the propane grill too! When we left, we felt like we were leaving our home and our twelve year old niece even cried. Thank you for the wonderful stay!
