The lake house feeling, scaled down. This private lakeside Anchorage studio has off street parking, a full kitchen, queen bed, sofa, TV, washer dryer, private bathroom, and access to Sand Lake. Make coffee by the water, use the shared kayaks or SUPs when conditions allow, then come back to a quiet place to reset after a day in Anchorage or exploring Alaska. This private downstairs studio gives you everything you need in one easy space.
Inside, you’ll find a queen bed, sofa, TV, full kitchen, washer and dryer, and a private bathroom with a shower. It is compact but fully functional, with the kind of amenities that make a stay feel easier, especially if you are here for more than a night or two.
The best part is what is right outside. You are tucked into a lakeside property with access to Sand Lake, including shared seasonal kayaks and SUPs for guest use. Start the morning slow, watch the water, or head out for a paddle when the lake is calm.

This is the kind of place that works because it keeps things simple. You can cook when you want, order in when you are tired, do laundry during a longer stay, and come and go easily with your own parking area.
And when Alaska calls, you are in a great spot to answer. Kincaid Park, the airport, restaurants, groceries, downtown Anchorage, Turnagain Arm, and Girdwood are all easy to reach from here.
Outside, the lake does the heavy lifting. In summer, take out a shared kayak or SUP, sit by the water, or unwind after a day of exploring. In winter, enjoy the quiet snow covered lake setting and a cozy place to come home to.

The downstairs studio is located on a lakefront property with an upstairs unit that may be occupied separately. You may see or hear other guests on the property, especially around shared outdoor areas.
Kayaks and SUPs are shared with the upstairs unit and are available seasonally. They must be used at guests’ own risk. Life jackets should be worn at all times, and children should always be supervised near the water.
Lake conditions change by season. Summer and winter use of the lake is always at the guest’s own risk.
This is a residential lakefront area, so quiet hours, parking rules, and respectful use of the property are important.
