About this property

This property is located over the hill and through the woods- with a beautiful overlook view of Daniel's Lake. Enjoy coffee on the deck or on the gazebo next to the lake shore. Easy lake access for enjoying a canoe, kayak, or float plane.
Tranquil property with nearby store & restaurant. Nearby access to Captain Cook Park beach for agate hunting or hike the trail to Bishop Creek beach.

This 4 bedroom/2 bath home was built in 1983 as my parents dream home. It is a split level, 2-story home, with large windows in the living and dining area to enjoy the gorgeous Daniels Lake in Nikiski, Alaska. Updated (2017) carpet, paint and new kitchen appliances. No frills living here, this home is simple and comfortable. Ample space to move on the 4 acres of lake property. Home has washer/dryer, tub-shower combo upstairs bathroom, with a walk in shower in downstairs bathroom. (Please note: No extra freezer space available to store your daily catch we kindly ask you to make arrangements with any of the numerous local seafood freezer/packers to process your Alaska catch.) The Lake House is heated with electric baseboard and monitor heaters. Home shows some years of wear, yet has cleaned up beautifully and offers spectacular lake views.
We welcome you to enjoy the wooded tranquility. Be entertained by the moose roaming at will through the yard, the lake loons calling and enjoy the many species of water fowl on the lake. The large neighboring dogs are also friendly entertainment to anyone within the vicinity of their roaming of the woods.

About the host

Hosted by Stacy Oliva

I grew up on this property in the early 1970's with my parents, grand parents, and 2 sets of aunts, uncles, and cousins over the hill next door. My parents were excited to build this home in 1983 as their family grew with my younger siblings. We raised Arabian horses on this property and lived the old homestead way- with all the family pitching in so that many hands made light work!
It is with gratitude that our family has grown up right next door to the homestead where I grew up...The Lord has blessed us with the stewardship of this wonderful piece of property!
