We have stayed several places in Alaska and this was by far our favorite! From the beautiful view to everything you could possibly need to the cleanliness… this was a home away from home! We are excited to come back and stay next year!

Cozy and Clean Lazy Bear Cabin

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lazy Bear. It was a warm, cozy, and very clean environment. Everything was up to date and the cabin was completely stocked with everything you would need. The view was amazing and the drive was perfect to Palmer. We will definitely stay again!

We'll be back

The place looks exactly like the pictures and more! We truly enjoyed ourselves there. Everything was close by, and the owners were fantastic. It was beyond clean. We loved it so much; we're returning next year for a week, not just five days.

Great Place

The cabin was perfect. Decorated so nicely. Bed was super comfortable. Maybe too comfortable because we kept sleeping later than normal. I had to keep reminding myself that the picture window was not a painting. The view was that beautiful.

Cozy & Nice

Very comfortable for 2 people. Sleeps 4, but 2 would be in living room area on sofa sleeper. Location is great being close to Palmer & Wasilla, and is very quiet with beautiful Mountain views. The owners have the unit very well equipped with everything you may need. The decor was done very nicely & we really enjoyed our stay.

This property was perfect for my wife and I with a great layout and awesome front porch. Coming in late made finding the driveway hard to see. Everything was just perfect all in all.

Check in was exactly as stated in the instructions. Every room was neat and very clean. The bear decor was very fitting and cute. The kitchen had sufficient pots, plates, utensils, etc. that we needed to cook our meals. The king bed was comfortable. The location has quick highway access. Clean up instructions were easy and straight forward. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great property

Beautiful property and excellent communication. All amenities provided and snacks for all. Clean and quiet. One recommendation to update the sofa sleeper. There is a foldaway twin bed that is very comfortable, but the sofa sleeper was not. Highly recommend staying here.
