The cabin was perfect!! The lake was amazing, they had lots of water toys that kept us busy for hours . The hosts were winderful and very helpful! Will for sure visit again!Joel and Nikki
Driving from Texas to Alaska, the Nancy Lake Villa was a great 5 day break. Clean and well equipped home on the lake. The owners were super friendly, and very helpful with recommendations of things to do in the area.
The villa at Nancy Lake was the perfect central location for our Alaskan vacation. The lake was beautiful and relaxing. The beds held our family of 6 comfortably. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck enjoying the midnight sun. Theresa and Jim were wonderful hosts.
We had a wonderful time at the villa! The cabin was well provisioned. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking meals as well as many staple foods that other vacationers have left (all products were still in date), as well as more than enough toilet paper and paper towels. The cabin has canoes, kayaks, paddle boats and boards to enjoy the beautiful Nancy Lake! Jim & Theresa were wonderful, friendly hosts and their dog Willow was a great ambassador to get our doggie fix in! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
We don't want to leave a good review because we don't want more people using it! Hehe!!! It is the best lake property. The nicest hosts. The best villa. And we had another lovely summer stay! Thanks Jim and Teresa!
this property is absolutely marvelous. The cabin is pretty, restful, and inviting.
we were astonished at the thoughtfulness of the owners. Every item in a kitchen one could want, lots of water toys, and comfortable furnishings.
Jim & Theresa are delightful and we enjoyed both of them and their lovely rental.
We endured a very long travel day to fulfill a bucket wish to discover and explore Alaska! We only had a week but we’re able to go north of this wonderful camp to Denali and south for an all day boat trip to see the glaciers out of Whittier… our hosts were terrific and friendly!! Perfect set up on beautiful Nancy Lake…even though it rained most of our stay, we all had an exceptional and memorable vacation! They were very helpful with directions and eateries… and played pickleball!!!
Nancy Lake Villa is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to experience an Alaskan getaway! The lake is absolutely beautiful and all the lake toys were a huge hit with our kids, especially the paddle boards. The villa was clean, neat, and in good working order. It was also well stocked with everything we could need - no need to run out for extra anything!!! The hosts were very friendly and helpful with advice for our day trips. Jim also helped fillet the Pike we caught on the lake and it was delicious! The location was great for a variety of day trips like Talkeetna, Denali, and the Matanuska Glacier. The drive to Hatcher's Pass started just up the road and was one of the most beautiful and scenic parts of our trip. We all had a wonderful trip and would definitely recommend the Nancy Lake Villa.
We chose Jim and Theresa's villa for all the water sport activities offered right here at our own dock and that did not disappoint! We were missing a paddle one day so all 4 of us could kayak, and Jim promptly went out the next morning to buy one. I don't think I've ever met a more caring, concerned, and accommodating owner! I've stayed in several VRBO's over the years, and this is the first time that the owner was also present on the property. The upside of that was he was available to ask questions to frequently and was able to advise us on where to go, sites to see, etc. One thing I wasn't expecting was other family members and friends to be staying on the property while we were here too. All were respectful, but it felt like a revolving door of different people, and it made it a little busier (and at times noiser) than I would have preferred. Because of that, it wasn't as relaxing for me. I'm not sure if we just happened to get a busy week, or if it's like this all the time. Most would probably not be bothered by that, but if you are coming to Alaska to be left alone, this is probably not the best place. Otherwise, I enjoyed talking with Jim. He's a super nice and honest man. You can tell it's a bit of a hobby of his to host people (family, friends, and VRBO guests), and he prides himself on making sure you are enjoying yourself. It's hard to go wrong with that. Thank you, Jim and Theresa!
I almost don't want to leave a review to keep this place a secret but its worth sharing. The location is quiet which is what we wanted but being on the lake there's lots to do.The owners were onsite and very respectful our of time but they are also very kind and sweet.The kitchen is well stocked that we were able to prepare family meals. We didn't have to worry about not having an essential cooking tool. Did i mention this was our second time staying, we knew we wanted to come back last visit and are already thinking about our next return trip.
