Vacation rentals with lake access in Matanuska-Susitna Borough

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The lake provided a lot of entertainment for us when we were just hanging out at the house. We used the 2 kayaks and canoe quite a bit to fish or just paddle around the lake. The swans were out a few times too. We also enjoyed making s’mores in the really nice fire pit (bring your own s’mores ingredients & firewood). The kitchen was well stocked for cooking with lots of appliances provided. Beds were very comfy! 2 bedrooms had an amazing view of the lake (master and one queen), while the other 2 rooms had televisions. The master bathroom was very spacious and had dual shower heads. Make sure to follow the directions Daniel provides when checking in because Google Maps does not have an accurate location for the house, but we found out that Apple Maps worked great. Location was good, only 10 minutes from stores and restaurants, but felt very secluded and peaceful. Would absolutely stay here again if we ever find ourselves back in Alaska!

Joanna’s place was exactly as described & just what we were looking for. We’re from Anchorage & walking around Lake Hood is one of our favorite things to do - lots of Alaska bush planes taking off, landing, & parked in slips. Yet Joanna’s place was very quiet inside. Hope to stay again

Allison's place is amazing! Gorgeous setting with canoe, kayak and fishing that kept our kids.. ages 8 & 11... entertained all weekend while the adults relaxed on the dock in the sunshine! The inside of the house was pretty and well maintained!There is only one bathroom. But for the 5 of us, we hot along fine. Allison was very responsive to questions. A great host with a great place to make memories. Thanks, Allison!

Host was very responsive and kind. Would highly recommend this place to stay.

Have booked and stayed at Johanna’s place many times. Fantastic location, host and home! Don’t hesitate to book this one. Thanks Johanna!

Before even checking in Marty had great communications making us feel very comfortable. In fact after traveling by train for 12 hours he even picked us up at the train station and brought us to the airport to get our rental car. Marty was very kind and shared information about the area with us. In all the years of traveling I have never felt as welcomed as we were. Upon arrival the decor was adorned with beautiful Christian motif. The accommodations were perfect as we had another couple staying with us providing ample room for all of us. The fridge was stocked with muffins, coffee, bagels, yogurt and milk as well as cereal. They provided detergent and dryer sheets for laundry. Great experience 10 out 10!

The kids had so much fun! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

I really enjoyed Jia’s Airbnb. Quiet, clean, seem to have extra stuff in the kitchen which was helpful.

It far exceeded our expectations! The home is BEAUTIFUL, and very large! Gorgeously decorated ! Two floors, tons of space for multiple people. Cute little extras like toys and things to do for kids , kcups and a keurig, little toothpastes in the bathrooms and the best smelling toiletries ! The location is perfect! Just a short 1 minute drive from Parks Hwy and all of the stores and restaurants. Yet peaceful and beautiful on a lake with playground and private dock. We saw beavers swimming in the lake , and moose walking in the driveway two nights in a row! It was amazing! We came for a kids sports tournament at the Menard Center and it took only about 8 minutes to drive there each day. Trenitie is super communicative, answering my questions when I reached out to her even late at night ! Super appreciated the promptness. I can’t say enough great things about this place! And hope to stay there yearly when we come for sporting events !

Lovely stay! John was very pleasant and communicative. The property is great, very clean and relaxing. Would definitely stay here again!

Brett was available upon our arrival. He gave us clear and accurate instructions for use of the hot tub and bicycles if we were interested. Brett also shared several names of local restaurants, which we tried and confirm as excellent.

Loved this lakeside getaway! Definitely check out the host’s recommendations, Flying Squirrel Bakery/Cafe and Spinach Bread were highlights of the trip. Be aware this is a downstairs space so if the host is around you will hear normal living sounds (i.e. footsteps, music, etc.) but this was never a problem for us as it was always quiet during sleeping hours. It’s a beautiful location and feels very homey, the kitchen is lovely and set up well. The outdoor setup is great if you catch nice weather (it rained the whole time we were there). Perfect for a solo or pair of travelers looking to relax and still be near plenty of things to do. I would book it for a longer stay next time!

This was such a peaceful place to stay with amazing views. The bed was comfortable and the place was very clean!

I had a wonderful stay at this cozy little apartment in Alaska! The space was spotless, warm, and well-equipped with everything I needed.The views were absolutely stunning—waking up to snow-capped mountains was a dream. The host was responsive, kind, and made check-in a breeze. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway with all the comforts of home.

Our stay was wonderful! This place has so much room. We had 2 grandchildren (age 5 & 10) with us and they loved it also. Only issue we had was a complaint from people whom lived below. We respected the quiet hours from 10-10 everyday. We did not know 1 of them worked 2nd shift, and got woke up by the kids couple mornings? They were playing tag out on deck one time. We told them we were sorry and would try to respect their wishes. From then on we worried about being quiet. This place is very close to grocery stores, gas, Walmart, Fred Meyer’s, and restaurants. Wonderful place to stay and very convenient. There is a park 2 lots down which we went to and kids played and fed ducks. There is also a Church (Creekside Church) about 5 miles away, very nice Church and made us feel welcomed. The kids loved the Children’s Church also. This place had everything we needed. The view was spectacular.

Our stay at Dan’s place was absolutely wonderful! The apartment was spotless and well-maintained, with thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. The location was incredibly convenient, with easy access to downtown and local attractions. But what really made our stay stand out was Dan’s exceptional hospitality. He was quick to respond to any questions or needs we had, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome. We highly recommend this property to future guests - it's a gem! 5 stars ⭐️ for it! Thanks again, Dan and family for a fantastic stay!"

The house was well taken care of and very nice to stay in. Every sunrise and sunset was picturesque. The lake was beautiful and refreshing. Loved the opportunity to step away from life at home and relax.

This is the nicest and cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed at. It is better than described in every way. The view is beautiful and so are the surroundings. It is a very quiet and peaceful venue. Gina was always very fast to respond if needed. This place will exceed your expectations!

We had a great stay in this little cottage. It was exactly as represented, and Megan was very responsive to all our needs. The space was exceptionally clean and the perfect size for our needs. Just bummed we couldn’t stay longer but we will be back! Great space and location.

We had a great stay at Janice’s place. The house is pretty private and close to the lake. The bed was comfy, heater kept us warm and it was easy to get inside. We took her recommendations for food in town and had a great dinner. Would definitely recommend staying here.

I hesitate to let out the secret that is Eric's place. A 15 minute drive from downtown Talkeetna, it is an oasis on a beautiful lake. Everything was as described, and the beds were extremely comfy, the kitchen was well-stocked, and Eric promptly responded to any questions we had. We think it's a great value for the money and only wished the weather cooperated a bit more for us to use his lake toys. Eric also was quite flexible with our check-in and checkout times, which we greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Eric's place!

Lori was very generous and kind. Extremely safe neighborhood. She always put my needs above her own. She always had a positive attitude and knew a lot about her town. It was always a pleasure to see and spend time with her. Her dogs were friendly and well controlled.Her house felt like home and her hospitality made it a joy to share. It always felt like I was spending time at a friend’s place. Finally,she always went above and beyond in her duties as host. Finally,if you enjoy walking,there are trails nearby.
