Cute property with lots to do

We were here for just a few days. Cute house with amazing deck and views. The property had LOTS to do. My boys enjoyed kayaking and axe throwing. There is a grocery store close by and the house was well stocked. The location was exactly what we wanted. We went up to Denali and also visited other areas. The property managers responded quickly to our messages. We would recommend this location!

Great stay at Lazy Birch

Great stay for us and our friends this weekend at Lazy Birch. Everything was comfortable and well thought out, and so many amenities were available that we were able to enjoy under the midnight sun. We will definitely return on our next trip to Talkeetna! Thank you to the hosts as well, communication was fantastic throughout the stay!

The Lazy Birch is a beautiful little cabin, just off the beaten track. The cabin is well-maintained and well-appointed. The kitchen is very well equipped. All the little extras are appreciated.Wish we were staying more than just one night. This is a great place to gather with a small group of friends for a weekend or week-long stay.Thanks for the hospitality!Stayed June 5-6, 2025. Four 50ish adults from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Nice cabin situated to taking in the view of the lake. Very comfortable, clean, a nice getaway, but still not too far from Talkeetna/towards Denali. Loved Being able to get on the lake with The provided kayaks/paddleboat. Host was responsive and make sure we had everything we needed.

Amazing stay at the Lazy Birch.

This place was fantastic. There were so many amenities that I lost count. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake, played corn hole and horse shoes. I think it was tough because We fished but unfortunately caught nothing in a nearby stream. Kitchen is well equipped and there’s plenty of toiletries. Darrel made fishing rods a

Just, WOW

This lovely and well-appointed home had so many amenities and so many activities, we wished for much more time. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute, from the beautiful deck overlooking the lake, to the gazebo with fire pit, to the perfect floor plan taking advantage of the gorgeous views. Just wonderful, start to finish. We highly recommend this VRBO, especially if you have time to play family games and enjoy boating activities. We would definitely consider a return visit!

What an amazing stay. The property is so cute! List of activities there, a plastic hatchet throwing station outside, board games inside. The windows look out on the lake and have blinds so it’s easy to sleep in the summer with less light. The place was very clean and the host was so responsive and very kind. Thank you so much!

Such a beautiful remote spot, still within easy range of mobility

Used this wonderful lakefront house as our home base for travels to Talkeetna, random moose wanders, and then farther north toward Denali. The house itself is wonderful. Beautiful property with a great pond (we kayaked with a pair of Pacific Loons). So pretty! The spiral stair case is a signature feature (with a downstairs bedroom for those that don't navigate it). Well equipped throughout. Communication with owner was great before during and after our trip. So glad we chose to stay here. Thank you!!!

This comfortable cabin was a beautiful spot to spend a rainy day. The gazebo was a dry spot to enjoy the beauty without getting wet. Good location for exploring Denali area. We would like to come back for a longer (and maybe less rainy) visit.

Quiet retreat in front of a lovely little lake.

This is a wonderful cabin, with gorgeous views of what feels like your own lake, even though it is shared by other houses. The loft bedroom is nice and open, and faces huge windows overlooking lake and forest.(Could use a little washing). The downstairs bedroom is nice and cozy and feels like a dark den. All bedrooms and living room room have a tv. The loft and open spaces all have seating facing lake. Large property with a short trail, fire pits and outdoor games, boats; great family fun, although good for singles too. Views of lake allows for wildlife viewing, including moose and loons. Cabin has a cold/hot water dispenser for those who might not want the well water. Rather noisy at times. Bathroom small with a simple shower. Several coffee brewing options for caffeine lovers. All in all, a good place to stay for a family or people looking for a quiet, isolated place.
