Enjoyed the paddleboat and the canoe. Tried for the elusive pike but to no
avail. Scored on the Little Su. We caught 55 lbs. of King Salmon on the first
try. Then 36 more on the second. Loved the picture perfect view from the
living room and deck. House is well-appointed and comfortable. Went to
Denali and rafted the river. Walked on the Matanuska Glacier. We saw moose,
bald eagles, beaver, and endless forests and rivers. The mosquitoes are
endless…took some getting used to. A beautiful, wonderful wilderness!

The Baxter family had a great time in Alaska! The cabin was so nice and cozy
that we referred to it as “Home” during our four nights here. The view from
the cabin is amazing. We especially enjoyed watching the plane take off from
the lake! This place is so close to nature, you feel like you are in a tree house.
This was our first time to Alaska and we are so amazed we are considering
moving from our home state of Oklahoma (wanna trade homes? Ha ha!).

Me and my husband had a great time! This was our first time to Alaska and we
loved it so much we hope to make Alaska our home some day. Thanks for
renting us such a beautiful place. We will recommend this to a couple of our
friends. Definitely worth every penny.

The Walker family had a great time at Nancy Lake. Born and raised in Alaska, and
this was my first time on a snow machine. You have a beautiful place and we
hope to come out again soon.

We had a great time riding to the Big Su and watching the sled dogs. Justin
crashed his machine but he managaged to not hurt himself too bad. The weather
was great and the cabin is awesome. Looking forward to maybe coming in the

Once again a beautiful experience for the Hoover crew at the Nancy Lake Villa.
Thankfully, weather conditions were much more conducive to snowmachining
and we enjoyed 50+ miles of exploring in the Nancy Lake area. Evenings were
filled with fun and laughter – mean games of monopoly and card sharks showing
their stuff! We certainly enjoyed the quiet, family-bonding event! –The Hoover
Crew

Wow! We will have stories to share about our experiences at the Nancy Lake
Villa – from -30 degrees temperatures to an overflow rescue of two
snowmachiners, to the recovery mission of the two machines – frozen in the
overlow! Nonetheless, all are safe and the villa allowed a warm and cozy
escapew from Mother Nature’s Winter Fury! The villa fit our family of five
beautifully – we enjoyed the kitchen’s many cooking resources, comfy beds,
large selection of books, games, and videos. We look forward to a future
return! Thanks for the fireworks and hospitality! –The Alaskan Hoover Crew

| We had a wonderful time in Alaska. The house was great, just a tad too small for 8. Three sets of couples. The fishing and sight seeing from there was great also. The only addition that wouls of been nice would be a freezer, but we found someone that held out loot till we flew out. |

We loved this cabin and we really loved the location. For us being Fishermen,
you couldn't of asked for a better spot. From here we pretty much covered from
Denali to the Kenai Peninsula. The mountains, streams, valleys, and animals
were great and none of us will ever forget them. Pretty much, it's going to be
very hard for us to leave today, but we will be back!
Thanks for the awesome villa! -- Mark, Justin, and Matt (PA)

We "six buddies" from Virginia have spent the most wonderful time at Nancy
Lake! The highlight was definitely meeting our friends, Tuff, Sherri, and "the
boys." Great cookouts, hikes (Hatchers Pass was great!) and boat rides. We
will always have fond memories of this area thanks to our gracious hosts! You
are the best! Keep in touch over the winter and come visit us in Virginia!

The villa was an awesome base for us the "inseparable sextet "from Clayton
Lake, VA (try finding us on the map) BUT, the best gift of all were Tuff, Sherri,
and "the Boys." They showed us around this gorgeous area. We fell in love
with them immediately. Thanks Wolcotts for sharing your awesome villa with
us. --Claudia & Warren Stutzman
What a gift when you least expect it - I can only hope our paths cross again -

Wow! What a vacation - we had an amazing time! The villa is beautiful and the
scenery just spectacular. We went fishing, kayaking, sight seeing, and boating.
Sherri and Tuff were such gracious hosts and made us feel so welcome. Tuff too
the guys fishing and they had a great time. We really appreciate the hospitality.
Can't wait to return to the villa for another great Alaskan adventure! -- The

Our last day, raining but Bill & Steven are giving it one more try for fish.
They've had a good time though. Everything's been great, villa has everything
we needed, thanks! We enjoyed meeting you and your family, made us very
welcome. Steven had a good time with John. Loved the tubing and the dogs -
glad he had someone to hang out with. I know he will wear the hat pride. We
enjoyed talking to Jim about the Boy Scouts. Tuff and Sheri were great, took
Bill under his wing and showed him the spots to fish. We thank them for their
hospitality (great cookouts!) And Jim, the fish was great and the wind super.
We learned a great deal about Alaska and Bill fulfilled his dream of coming
here. Even though didn't get any fish but will still have some fish stories!
Thanks again. -- Bill and Charlotte Blizzard (and grandson, Steven)

Well, well! It's the end of a FULL week! We started on the Kenai for the first
half. Halibut with Rod was great. All seven got their two each plus we released
another 20+. Caught a few reds on the Russian. Went to Homer - left a store
hat at the Salty Dawg. Did a 5-hour tour out of Whittier to the glacier fields!
That was cool! Then we moved to Nancy Lake. The crew fished with friends on
Sheep Creek -- caught 3 the first night and 4 the next. Meri and I went to
Talkeetna one evening then took the crew back out today -- had a few beers
and a picnic. Love the house - a little small for 8 of us - but all in all a great
trip! Thank you for the best friends I could possibly ask for! -- Nancy &

We sure enjoyed our stay here. This is like a home away from home. The
weather has been great -- 60's just right for us.
We're in Alaska for our granddaughter's wedding Sat 28 June in Anchorage:
"Erika & Ivan."
Our daughter and her husband Teri and Tom found this Nancy Lake villa for
us -- great choice. We may take a canoe ride this afternoon.
My two sisters and their husbands will be here Thurs and Fri. Would like to
com back again. Great place - thanks again! -- Joe and Jean From Seattle

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lake home. The home is beautiful, the
setting so peaceful and relaxing. We loved the boats, especially the kids. We
visited the "Dream a Dream" dog kennels and that was such a great experience.
Hiking around Nancy Lake Park was challenging for some of us but still so much
fun. Thanks again! -- The Goynes (Eagle River, Alaska) and Hand (Weimer,

We had a wonderful time staying at your beautiful cabin. The setting is very
peaceful. We enjoyed taking the boat into the lake...unfortunately Mark came
up short on the trout fishing, but we were successful in seeing a soaring bald
eagle, several arctic terns diving for small fish, a red neck grebe, and other
birds we don't have in Arizona. Our daughter, Anna, loved going up and down
(& up a & down...) your stair case! The location is great for fishing at Deshka
Landing where Mark landed a nearly 28 lb. King Salmon! Thank you so much
for a wonderful stay! -- Mark, Gayle, and Anne Lundtvedt

Dear Wolcotts,
Your place is amazing, not far from what many of us imagine as as a dream
home. My family enjoyed every part of the Nancy Lake Villa, the view, the
snow machining on the lake, and the cold because I fear the warmth of the
summer to come. Thanks for letting us dwell in your humble abode. --

Wolcotts,
My stay here was more than I had ever wished for. The first day we went snow
machining and came back here and had hot coco. It is hard for me to leave - I
loved staying here!
McKenzie Pfister, 13
I had fun in the cabin. I can't stay any longer but I wish I could. Thank you,
hope I can come again. Bye,
Ciarra Pfister, 11
Our quest for snow and a quiet get-a-way was more than fulfilled! Thank
you.

Wow! We are so impressed with this beautiful lake house. Three of us women
took 5 kids here for a 2 night stay during our "Alaska spring break."
We were worried that the kids would be bored due to the cold, snowy time of
the year, but they have entertained themselves non-stop! They have had so
much fun sledding, playing hide & seek, and relaxing in the jacuzzi!
We can't wait to come back! Thanks to Jim and Theresa for this amazing
experience!

Thanks for everything. We had a great time this weekend. The girls took thier
first solo ride on their snow machine. The cabin was so much more than I was
expecting, it was perfect. My five year old daughter looked up at me while we
were eating breakfast and said, "You're the best Daddy in the world!"
Great weekend!

What a fabulous weekend for the "Woman's" retreat! We have been to many
cabins in the woods but this is the first time in an Alaskan villa!
We were able to have all the fun without the work. Let's see, where do I
start...
1. Great "snowshoe-in" on the lake.
2. Great fireworks!
3. Great night walk on the road with giant snowflakes on our hats!
4. Great stories, games, and lots of laughter!
We will be back -- loved it!

What a grand time we had for New Years Eve. The company of so many good
friends were gathered for the evening. Dinner was simple yet delicious! We
went down to the lake, started a huge fire, and began lighting off fireworks.
Megan and John started with sparklers while the teenagers held the Roman
candles...Brook was having more fun than the teenagers. At the strike of
midnight, we all started shooting off fireworks, "Happy New Year!" You could
see fireworks all around the lake from other lakeside residents- it was
magnificent! The next morning we woke up late and went sledding and snow-
machining. What a wonderful "New Year Party" -- the best in our book!
Thanks.
