We absolutely loved our stay and can't wait to come back the next time we're in Palmer. The house is incredible and looks exactly like the pictures. It's spacious, comfortable, quiet, and the views are amazing. We loved the hot tub, comfortable beds, fully-stocked kitchen, and privacy. Our host also gave us great recommendations for restaurants and things to do, and she responded to messages within 3 minutes (even late at night). My husband and I were the only ones staying here, but it has more than enough room for up to 8 people. Book this place! :)

It was a fantastic stay for my family. The setting is more breathtaking than the pictures could portray. Incredibly comfortable accommodations and we were able to grill a couple of nice full meals for the family.

Wonderful Area

It was wonderful place to stay, perfect little area to be off the main highway and a short drive to everything else. Kids loved the house, and the views. Would love to come back again!

Beautiful Stay in Palmer

Lazy mountain guesthouse is a great place to relax and enjoy with friends/family while you are visiting Palmer and adjacent areas. The house is well kept and stocked for a great stay. The views from the property are beautiful. Definitely plan to stay here if we visit again!

Without a doubt, we would come back here again. Waking up to a view of the mountains through the main family room windows was stunning. The house was perfectly appointed for our family of six. The kitchen was very well stocked, and the host offered several extra touches that showed how she intentionally goes above and beyond to give the Customer a positive experience. It didn’t hurt that it was a five minute drive from an excellent coffee shop.

Great Stay

This was one of, if not the best rental home we have stayed. Every detail was thought of in this home…plus a great view! Lot of nice additions and features everywhere, like axe throwing in the garage. We took my mom and our 3 boys on the trip, and this house was perfect. We would stay here again!

Perfect location and lovely home

the accommodations were perfect. the house is very lovely and had all of the amenities. We used the hot tub, grill and loved the rocking chairs! The host is very responsive and helpful. Centrally located in Palmer and easy access to Anchorage, Talkeatna, and a lot of things to do around Palmer. We would definitely recommend the house and would love to come back.

Perfect Retreat!!

Our family of four was in town for a few nights and wanted somewhere close-ish to town...with a hot tub:). This home was better than we could have ever expected!! The communication was amazing!! We received the check-in message with all details the morning before and had no issues finding the house or getting in. The house was spotless upon arrival. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need. The hot tub is fantastic, with great views of the mountains and valley below. Our kids loved the bunk space and outdoor games. Plenty of towels for the hot tub and bathrooms. This was definitely a five-star stay!! Thanks again!!!
