Great house and unique area

This house was in a great location if you want to experience how Alaskans live. The area is gorgeous, town is not far away for getting supplies or finding things to do. We were most impressed with how quiet the home was at night and felt comfortable from first stepping in the door. Fantastic to relax on front porch with a cup of hot coffee and enjoy the variety of wild birds in the trees. Would definitely rent this house again if we return to this area. Very nice.

Felt Like Home

Had a great stay. Beds were comfy. Big kitchen with everything you need to cook your own meals, just bring your own food. We were very comfortable at this home and did some relaxing. On first outing we locked wrong lock at the house, so coming back were were locked out. Lucky for us Michele was available and she helped us to get into house. Thank you Michele. All in all, we love staying there and would certainly stay there again. Three Sisters from Texas.

Well furnished and clean!

Great spot of you need to spend time in the Palmer/Wasilla area. House was very clean and had all available amenities needed for a comfortable trip. I would just add a little more lighting to the living area (another lamp or 2)

Highly Recommended

We loved our stay at this rental. The house was very quiet, comfortable, and definitely met all our needs. The surrounding Chugach Mountains provide a great back drop for the house. It's in a perfect location to enjoy the various attractions in the Palmer area while also venturing out further to Talkeetna and the Matanuska Glacier. Michele was a great host and very communicative before and during our visit. I highly recommend this rental to anyone that wants to explore this lovely part of Alaska.

Best ever

We have stayed in multiple VRBO homes and this one by far is the best! It was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Location was perfect for multiple day trips and evenings walks. The hike up Lazy Mountain is a must and it’s at the back door literally! The owner was more than accommodating and helpful, Michele you are the best Thanks! We will definitely book this home again. Best ever!
