The lake house feeling, made easy.
This private lakeside Anchorage studio is a rare find: a step-free, single-level stay with no stairs to enter and no steps once inside. The bathroom is also step-free, with a roll-in style shower area and grab bars for added support. It is compact, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for guests who want easy access without giving up the magic of staying by the lake. Inside, you’ll find everything you need in one simple space: a queen bed, sofa, TV, full kitchen, washer and dryer, and a private bathroom with shower. It is perfect for guests who want a quieter, more manageable home base while still enjoying the setting and amenities of a larger lakefront property.
The best part is what is right outside. You are tucked into a Sand Lake property with shared lakefront access, including seasonal kayaks and SUPs when conditions allow. Make coffee, watch the water, enjoy a slow morning by the lake, or head out for a paddle on a calm summer day.

This is the kind of place that works because it keeps things simple. You can park easily, enter without stairs, cook when you want, do laundry during a longer stay, and settle into a peaceful lakeside space after a full Alaska day.
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, easy place to come home to.

Quiet South Anchorage residential neighborhood near the Dimond/Turnagain corridor.

Public transit: People Mover buses serve the broader area—routes and frequencies vary, with main corridors on Minnesota Drive and Dimond Center. Expect transfers for many downtown or airport trips. Rideshares/taxis: Readily available across Anchorage and can be faster late at night or when bus service is limited. Active travel: Some sidewalks and local bike routes exist; the Coastal Trail is accessible by short drive for longer walks and bike rides.
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.
