Lovely little cottage nestled in the woods of the Matanuska Valley. Was perfect for what I needed. Would suggest for a single person or a couple who simply need a place to rest and sleep after adventuring in the winter, or exploring the State Fair in August and September. Bed is comfy and the water pressure is sublime. Open the windows and you’ll be greeted by birdsong in the mornings!
I was visiting family in Alaska and the Forrestlane Cottage was perfect. The location was close by and the cottage itself was ideal. The footprint is small and cozy, and the place was clean and exceptionally well maintained, with everything I needed for a quick trip. The hosts were very responsive to any questions that I had and helpful throughout my visit. I would highly recommend this property and will to look to book again any time I'm in the area.
The cabin was very clean and well set up. It is quiet and peaceful there to unwind. Close to Palmer, Wasilla and scenic sites. Vanessa and Rob were awesome hosts and very prompt to answer any questions. A great time and will stay there again next trip.
My sister and I had a great stay here! Perfect place to stay after a long day of travel to get to Alaska. The cabin is very clean and has all the amenities you would need. 10/10 would recommend.
We would highly recommend a stay here. Very clean and comfortable. Good coffee, great bed and we loved sitting on the covered porch in the evening. Thanks we will be back!
The cabin is absolutely beautiful and in a peaceful setting. The furnishings are comfortable and the shower is hot. They have everything you would need for a perfect stay.
Well kept, Quiet and adequate A little breakfast table would be a nice addition and some closet space to hang some clothes Very nice cabin and very quiet surroundings
We had a wonderful one night stay at the cottage after a long day of travel. Well appointed, comfortable, clean and cozy. We would definitely stay again if ever in the area..
