Creekside Cottage near Daniel's Lake
About this house rental
Situated in Nikiski, this attractive house for $195 per night is a great option for your next break. 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.

This cozy Creekside cottage feels like a warm hug from heaven. This home helps you reset and recharge. Nestled in the woods creating a quiet, peaceful place to rest. I definitely felt at home in this home and would highly recommend staying here. It is extremely clean and organized. We found everything we needed there; especially peace and quiet.

This is a hidden gem…with salmon right in the creek. Lisa is such a great host, helpful and professional. Will definitely stay here again.

I styed one night at this property in mid-September. The hosts Lisa and Dan were super responsive and gave me great suggestions for supplies and food I would need for my fishing trip. Place was immaculate and well stocked. I got to watch the salmon swimming upstream in the back yard complete with a bald eagle in the tree top. Lake across the street was beautiful but unfortunately I did not have time to take the kayak out.
Even saw the Northern lights when I left very early the next morning. Highly recommend this property

Really nothing negative to say about this place, as the hosts have created a wonderful vacation home in a great spot. The house was immaculate, and all that the listing says about the property is true. My husband and I were very happy to stay here, and I think a family with two kids who like the outdoors would love it (summer or winter due to the warm municipal pool with water slide not far away). We hope to return for a longer stay next summer.

Could not say enough about how beautiful this place is, and how wonderful our host was. The fish running up the creek behind cabin, the beautiful lake, the eagles, loons… the wildlife was spectacular. Fishing the Swanson River, rock picking at Captain Cook Rex area.. just fantastic. Highly recommend!!

We loved everything about this property and Lisa was fabulous! The property was immaculate, the lake beautiful, Lisa went over and beyond in welcoming us with a super cute chalkboard poster on the front porch saying “welcome Sally and Dennis.” We will be sure to book with her again. Also her bed and sheets were oh so comfortable.

This cabin was perfect for our dipnetting trip. It had a cleaning table, was quiet, clean and remote. It had a fire pit which we enjoyed in the evening.

Such nice proprietor, I was having medical issues when I was there. Lisa and her daughter, brought me some chicken noodle soup as well as Gatorade to help me! So caring and thoughtful, if we had just people like Lisa, her husband and family, our world would be perfect!!! Thanks to Lisa and Dan. God Bless!!

This was the perfect stop on our first trip to Alaska. It was peaceful with the creek out the back door. We enjoyed canoeing on the lake. The kitchen has everything you need to cook your own meals. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We would love to come back in a couple years.

This is the most charming little place, and we loved it. We were in AK for two weeks, and stayed here about halfway thru. We enjoyed some down time, did laundry to get us thru the second half of our trip, and enjoyed the peace this place offered. It has a full kitchen, full sized appliances, and stocked pantry. Plenty of teas, oatmeal, granola bars, etc, and coffee pot. We loved our stay here. Lots of space to spread out. The Creek is so relaxing to listen to. Also, has a great porch space, but the mosquitos were too bad to be able to enjoy it. Oh, and speaking of mosquitos, the owner provided bug zapper rackets, to zap the mosquitos with....one on each level. So very satisfying! The only downside for us, is that the bedrooms are on the lower level, and the bathroom is upstairs, but other than that, this place is pretty perfect.

We had a beautiful stay in the house by the lake. The home is well furnished and comfortable and Lisa is a great local host. The weather was not great but I did get in a little time using the canoe on the lake and even caught trout for dinner. Having a washer and dryer was essential since we'd already been traveling for a few days and . Lisa stopped by a couple of times to check in on us. Thank you for a lovely stay.

I can not say enough great things about the owners of the property. They are true, salt of the Earth folks. Can’t recommend staying in the cottage high enough.

We used the cabin as home base for our road trip across the Kenai Peninsula…Seward, Soldotna, Homer and lots of places in between. Lisa/Dave(owners) were very helpful with answering questions both before and after arrival. There was a cute welcome board with our names waiting by the front door. The cabin was well equipped for our stay and the washer/dryer was a huge plus. We cooked in the crockpot so dinner was ready each day upon our return. We enjoyed the canoe on Daniel’s Lake while at the cabin. Nikiski was more rural than we at first thought… it turned out to be just fine.

Relaxing hidden getaway
The details on the description are spot on. The house was very clean, temperature controlled, great kitchen. I have nothing bad to say about this place.
Lisa text me the morning I was to arrive and have me all info needed. She even had it cleaned early and let us know we could arrive before the listed time.
Having use of the canoe for the lake was awesome! It’s not a far distance to pack and you’re on the water. After canoeing, build a small fire in the pit and listen to the creek.
I was fortunate enough to see a salmon headed up. It was an amazing sight!
I would recommend anyone wanting to really get away to book this magical place.

Spotless cabin , clean with every amenity across from a beautiful lake that we canoed and fished .Host was very pleasant and we cannot fault our stay .Visit to a deserted beach at the end of the highway watching the tide was glorious. Maybe a little out the way for those wanting to be near brighter lights of Homer etc .
