Birch tree on the lawn above Lake Lucille, mountains across the water

The house on Lake Lucille

The whole house, on the water, with its own dock. Under an hour up the Glenn Highway from Anchorage.

Come by road, or land on the lake

Take the boat out after dinner, put the kids in kayaks off the dock, and light the fire pit when the light finally goes. The dock takes a float plane if you would rather arrive that way.

Knik Glacier
Under an hour, from the Knik River Road
A wall of blue ice at the head of the Knik River. It is not a drive-up viewpoint: guided airboat, ATV and helicopter trips run out to the face.
