We love this place!

Our family has been renting the forest service cabins in March for 8 years. This year we went for convenience and luxury! We had a great stay, everything is provided and it was like a home away from home. I’m sure staying there in the summer is amazing, but it is also a fantastic spot to ski from, ride snowmachines and head to Long Lake for the Iditarod.

Our stay exceeded our expectations! We were celebrating my son’s high school graduation and 18th birthday. It was a trip of a lifetime! The cabin was gorgeous. It had everything we needed and more. Jim and Theresa were so kind and accommodating. We loved Alaska! This cabin made it even better!

We had an amazing stay at Nancy Lake Villa. The view from the balcony is cool and serene. The house is cozy and had a homey feel for us. We appreciate the owner’s info of places to visit and Jim even shared his moose burger patty with us. Thank you so much, Theresa and Jim Wolcott!

Outstanding property

The Wolcott Villa is one of the best VRBO properties we have visited. The location is beautiful and the house is absolutely stunning. The views from the main floor and master bedroom reading area are gorgeous and the house is extremely well equipped. The owners were very responsive and had a wealth of information on the lake and surrounding area. Our only regret is that we did not book a longer stay.

Great lakeside headquarters for a few days!

One of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Theresa, Jim, and family were kind hosts. House has everything you could need. You’re within an hour of Talkeetna or Hatchers Pass if you want to explore, or just chill by the lake. There is a flight of stairs up to the house, and a short but sloped little trail down to a flat dock area, so just be advised if someone in the group has mobility issues. Would definitely stay again!

Willow, Alaska @ Nancy Lake Villa

Beautiful property and amazing views! Everything that you need in one place, very nice property and very well maintained. Very comfortable for 6 and we stayed 10 days. The owners very nice and polite, and always makes sure that we had everything we needed as well as giving us ideas for places to visit. Alaska is a beautiful state and The Villa is in a perfect centric spot if you want to visit Denali, Palmer, Talkeetna, and Anchorage where most of the attractions are located. Or if you want to spend a day on the Villa, go to the lake and enjoy the water toys and chill with a good book on the porch.

Beautiful Alaskan getaway!

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
I will start with the positive. It was absolutely beautiful, the house and the lake. The location is perfect for taking day trips to see the sights like Denali and Hatcher pass. The villa is fully stocked and the views are stunning. Should be noted the listing said there was a jetted bathtub, there is not. But if you are looking for any sense of privacy or relaxation this is not the place for you. Let me preface by saying it is their place and I understand they may run it as they wish but the listing was nothing like the reality of the place, just be honest so we can go elsewhere. The listing makes it look like a solo villa with a private dock right out front. This was not the case. You are in a horseshoe of other small houses owned and occupied by the owners and their friends and family. One place is literally 8 feet away. The listing says strictly no pets or partying - awesome! But what they actually mean is none of that for you because their untrained dogs will be running all over the property, barking and jumping. While you try to enjoy the lake you get to listen to them ask the dogs, “did you poop?” at least 50 times. Their adult kids dock is about 15 feet away from yours and they will be outside partying all day into the night with tons of people coming and going on the lake. We felt every time we went out on the porch or went in the yard we were literally running into someone. The dock is also down a very steep hill that is not in the listing. We will not be back.

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!
