Perfect place for a family stay

We traveled with a group of 10 for 4 days. Age range 60 to 1 years old. The property was centrally located to what we needed, clean, and plenty of space. Highly recommend for anyone traveling to the Palmer / wasilla area!

Great location, spacious home

This is a large, comfortable home just a few minutes from Wasilla. We particularly enjoyed the pool table and big screen in the basement, the bright, airy kitchen, and the large sectional sofa in the family room. Lots of space to spread out and make yourself at home.

Beautiful Home

This is a beautiful and very comfortable home. It is sprawling, with lots of separate spaces to really spread out and almost all of the common spaces were also able to accommodate our entire group together. Loved that aspect. A lot of versatility . The owner was very responsive to my questions before and during our stay. I will definitely consider booking this place again.

Just What We Needed

The house was adequate for our needs. The three sitting areas with two large screen TVs, and a large kitchen and dining room, along with an outside deck, provided plenty of space for our party of nine. Nice, quiet neighborhood, close to the conveniences of town.

About the host

Hosted by Tamika Dowdy

As a born and raised Alaskan I continue to uncover the adventures of my unique state. Having traveled a few places I still have yet to find anything that compares. I truly enjoy designing spaces that people enjoy and providing a setting where families or groups can truly make lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I connected with this property the moment we completed a walk through. The floorplan is very unique and it has space for the family to stretch out and feel as though you are home.
