Great property

We were in the Palmer area for hockey tournament and rented this house for a couple of the families. Check-in was very easy and the home was very clean. The host was extremely accommodating for our group. I recommend this property to any large group that is looking for large spaces and beautiful views. I will definitely be saving it for future stays in the area.

Spacious Basic Home

Minimalist home that easily accommodated our family of four. The shared space would have been more usable with additional lights and furniture. Woodstove was great for warmth and brightened dark evenings and mornings. Town of Palmer was an easy drive.

Great location and wonderful property

This is a great home and well equipped for a large group. Beautiful home that is well equipped and has good amenities. The beds and pillows (which are normally tough for me) are so comfortable! Location is very convenient to all the Matanuska Valley activities but gives you a great feeling of being in the Alaskan nature with privacy. Highly recommend!

Family Vacation

We came up for a family vacation and to visit friends who live in the area. The house was perfect for us with a large kitchen and gathering area. We enjoyed big family breakfasts with a beautiful view. The property owner, Rick-was onsite in a small cabin so we were able to visit with him and would have loved to spend more time with him. We drove to Denali for a day-spent a day in Talkeetna, did a day in Anchorage and Friday Fling in Palmer- just so much to see and do with beauty surrounding in every direction. Now off to Kenai for us

Upscale cabin home with amazing view

Beautiful cabin home in a quiet neighborhood. We were able to sit and enjoy coffee and visit with the gorgeous view of the mountains out the front window. House was very clean with amazing upscale bathrooms. Ricky was great to communicate with and offered many suggestions for things to do and restaurants in the area. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Mountain Lodge

The house is beautiful, well equipped, and we loved the wood burning stove in the main room to enjoy a relaxing evening by the fire. The hosts are GREAT and very responsive. This is a 5 star VRBO. The views are fantastic as long as the weather permits you to see it. Even if the weather is not so good, it is a wonderful place to stay.
