About this property

Lakefront Cabin! Hot tub, woodstove, kayaks, paddle boards. King bed! Sleeps 6.

Adorable, cozy, private lakefront cabin, perfectly positioned for the BEST sunsets. Enjoy a relaxing dip in the hot tub - YES, it is serviced weekly and available year round!

Deck overlooks the lake with built-in & additional seating, entertaining spaces, & spacious yard. Kayak or paddleboard out for a cruise on the lake, chill around the propane fire pit or cuddle up inside with the woodstove (provides supplemental heat, cabin has a furnace!)

Get ready to RELAX, you're on lake time!

To ensure that our cabin will be suitable for your trip, we like to get these important considerations for any guests considering booking our property out of the way first:

- The cabin is located in a VERY quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Quiet hours of 9PM-7AM are strictly enforced.
- No smoking of any type is permitted on the property, inside or outside.
- No pets or animals are permitted.
- Occupancy is strictly limited to guests on the reservation.

Whether you're looking for a romantic, cozy getaway for two or a fun family or group retreat for up to 6, you will fall in love with this sweet lakeside cabin!

Planning a winter retreat? Bring your skis, ice skates or snow shoes! Snow machines are permitted in the winter months, and ATVs are also welcome in the area. Private pilot? You are welcome to fly in here at Blodgett Lake Seaplane Base!

Visiting in the summer months? Go jump in the lake - enjoy fishing, swimming, paddling, or wading. Spend our long summer days out on the water in one of the kayaks or paddleboards available for guest use. Life jackets for all sizes are available and encouraged. Want to bring your own watercraft? Our lake allows motors up to 10HP.

Expect wildlife viewing and interaction! A trumpeter swan family calls our lake home, along with lots of ducks, geese, loons, and the occasional moose may wander through. Bears are not extremely common, but we always encourage visitors to be prepared for any and all wildlife encounters, it is Alaska, after all!

Blodgett Lake is also home to rainbow trout and pike, and salmon come to spawn along the shoreline right in front of the cabin in the fall.

After your day of relaxing and enjoying the lake views, spend some time in the hot tub (available year-round!) under the stars or, if you're lucky, catch the dancing beauty of the northern lights. Lady Aurora is unbelievable here with minimal lighting to disrupt her gorgeous glow!

While our cabin is tucked away and feels like a private getaway from the rest of the world, it's located just about a one hour drive from Anchorage in the Meadow Lakes area of the picturesque Matanuska Susitna Valley.

Groceries, coffee, gasoline, and even pizza delivery are all nearby. We've included everything you need for an easy retreat, including a starter kit of essential toiletries. However, if you are inclined to stay in touch with the office or the outside world, you'll appreciate the high speed WiFi. **Please note, guests may use their own login information to utilize the streaming service of their choice on the WiFi TV, we do not have cable.**

Need more space, or traveling with a larger group? Please consider booking one or more of our spaces, and contact me if you have any questions! All of our listings can be found under my profile, or find more pictures and videos on IG or FB at @switzersuites or @theswitzerteam or @shannaswitzer on TikTok! Please reach out personally if you'd like to book a longer stay or have any questions or specific needs!

Hidden Retreat
What a gem! The house is located on a quiet lake on the outskirts of Wasilla near Big Lake. We enjoyed waking up in the morning and enjoying a cup of coffee looking over the serene lake. We look forward to staying here in the future.

Perfect Escape
We had the greatest time. Everything was so clean and looked EXACTLY like the photos, which is SO rare. We will for sure be staying again. The hot tub and outside recreational area is amazing. The paddle boards were a blast to get out on. We had the most fun. Everything was easy to work and well explained out. The host was so pleasant and easy to talk to. Communication was always fast and pleasant. Best experience.

Great Place with a Central Location
If visiting South Central Alaska, I highly recommend this lakefront cabin. We rented in late March and the location was super central for all of the winter activities that we wanted to do from dog mushing in Talkeetna, ice fishing in Palmer, and snowmobiling in Hatcher's Pass/Willow. And after being in the cold all day, having a wood burning stove and hot tub to warm up in was very nice. This was just outside of Wasilla which helped avoid some of the traffic we experienced driving within Wasilla. There was a grocery store about 5 minutes away and 3 others including a Walmart within about 15-20 minutes. While visiting we saw at least one Bald Eagle every day and 2 most days. There were also plenty of magpies, ducks and even a couple of swans to keep us entertained. The only slightly negative thing I would say about this property was that the neighbors were pretty close next door, but we didn't have any issues with that whatsoever.

Gorgeous and relaxing
The views are priceless! the hot tub came in handy after hiking and four wheeling all day. The kayaks kept the teen busy when mom and dad wanted to relax and unwind. Everything you need and some things you didn’t think you would need. Instructions are clear, and welcoming. Really enjoyed the wood burning stove. Very generous with wood and fire starters. Had an amazing time.

Alaska July 2023
Our stay at the cabin was great. It had everything we needed. We relaxed in the hot tub after using the paddle boards. The patio area overlooking the lake is so relaxing and a perfect way to wind down after a long day. We had a question for Shanna, the host, and got an answer right away. Overall great experience!

Beautiful Lake Home
Our family enjoyed this place over all the places we stayed throughout Alaska. It was fully equipped with everything we needed (except fishing gear) bring your own. The guys caught fish, we enjoyed the outside on the great deck, hot tub and eating outside overlooking the lake. Very relaxing and just what we needed. Sorry our stay there wasn't longer. Would def go back again.
