This was the very best place we have ever stayed. This is a well built cabin with extra nice interior. It was close to attractions, but gave us a quiet place to come back to at the end of the day. Plenty of room for 2 people so that you’re not underfoot all day. I don’t rate many things, but this cabin really impressed us.

I loved that the bedroom and living area had separate heating sources, we like a cool bedroom. Attention to detail was top notch with fluffy towels to coffee pods, cider & filtered water. We requested sheets and towels to be washed in non-fragrance detergent, which was not an issue. Very private and cozy cottage. If ever back in Palmer I’d stay again.
