Our family came up here for a wedding and loved this spot. Our young kids had a blast playing in the yard and on the dock. Unit was very comfortable and host was super easy to work with. If we ever make the trip up north again would stay here!

Dragonfly was great! The lake is beautiful and serene. The sauna was amazing! We had the best night's sleep after 15 minutes in that sauna.
LeAnn was a great host. She gave us suggestions of things to do around Nikiski, Kenai and the surrounding areas. The 2 bedroom apartment was top notch clean. On arrival a basket of goodies were on display for the taking. A big bonus and blessing was a washer and dryer. We would definitely stay here againđ

Wonderful, clean, cabin that seemed to have those necessities that one might forget and even a few goodies for movie night. Pleasant atmosphere with beautiful Daniels lake view out the back. Available canoe and paddle board, fishing gear, chairs to enjoy the peace. The grill and fire to sit around allowed true relaxation. One of the best parts was the hostess LeAnn who was fantastic and patient. She came to our assistance as well as thankfully offered words of wisdom when we had a unique situation...or two. Hope to head back soon!

My family had a wonderful time at this VRBO unit! The hostess was extremely friendly, helpful, and even had a gift basket for us upon arrival. We appreciated the TV with DVR, the modern and well equipped kitchen, the comfortable bedrooms, and the outside deck with chairs, table and barbeque. One of the most amazing aspects of this stay was access to beautiful Daniel's Lake, with the hostess providing paddleboards and canoes, as well as other sports equipment for games in the back yard. We also enjoyed the sauna. We definitely recommend this unit!

We loved our stay here! We were in town for a family wedding and that kept us really busy most of our days there. We wish we would have had more time to enjoy all the property had to offer. My favorite was time on the dock, soaking up the beauty and peace. My kids enjoyed the canoe and yard games but would have loved more time to
use them. The cabin was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. We highly recommend it! You wonât be disappointed!

A good place to relax! Comfortable furnishings and lots of amenities. The owners were friendly. We appreciated the gas grill for a fresh salmon dinner and the washer/dryer. The unit sits in front of the owner's home and has an adjoining rental unit. It's about 30 minutes from Soldotna so a bit out of the way for our Soldotna activities. We weren't able to hike in nearby Captain Cook State Park so drove to Soldotna for that activity.

The cabin was super clean and everything inside was new. The kitchen was stocked and very easy to use. The queen bed was hard, which was my main complaint, even if its a minor one. Also there is only a TV in the livng room, none in the bedrooms, FYI.
The cabin was at the back of the property, so in order to access the lake, you would have to walk thru the owners yard, which was....different. Not a bit deal to my husband, but not ideal for me.
But the hosts were amazing and easy to text and helpful. Overall it was a nice weekend!!

We spent 3 days here in early June and had a wonderful time. LeAnn was a marvelous host to our family and made us feel so welcome. The location on Daniels Lake was beautiful, and having canoes available for paddling out on the lake was something we enjoyed a lot. The unit was very clean and very well appointed. We had 5 people in there, which was a little bit of a squeeze, but no real issues there with the trundle under the bunk beds. Nice kitchen and big washer/dryer were also very nice. We would love the chance to come back to visit again!

Quiet, scenic and private.
Beautiful lakefront property. Friendly family, the owners, that live nextdoor, are very respectful of guests privacy and attentive to their needs. This was an ideal location for us to stay while visiting our son and his family (3 grandchildren) who live nearby.

Dragonfly Delight
If you are looking for comfort and beauty, this is your place to come! We returned this year for the second year and stayed for an extended stay. Enjoyed canoeing and fishing on the lake, walks in the neighborhood and the convenience of being remote but not too remote. During our stays over the last few years we fell in love with Alaska and now we are planning a move! Tom and LeAnn have provided a wealth of information to us and we look forward to having them as neighbors.

The property was very well-maintained and clean. It was well-appointed and anything we needed to round out our fishing trips was provided. Hosts were responsive to any special requests. We left feeling like we had made new friends, though our privacy was always respected. We left with many great memories, and we will be back!
