I was only in town for a couple of days to attend a wedding, but this cottage was fantastic!! It was very comfortable, clean, and private. I will definitely stay here again the next time I am in Palmer!
Wonderful time in this fairytale cottage! Sitting by the fire, watching it snow and the birds enjoying the snowfall! Vanessa and Rob are very accepting and helpful! It was a great time!
Very charming property. Extremely clean. Well stocked kitchen for cooking for two. Great directions. Secluded and quiet location but with easy access to town and hiking options. Laundry was great. Would definitely recommend for a quiet getaway.
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.
Our stay here was great. Hosts were very responsive and helpful and the cabin was easy to find and beautiful. Place contained everything we needed for a simple retreat and was close to other Alaskan activities.
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.
This property is just the right size in just the right location. The owners we great and flexible. The price was amazing and the local attractions were all with a short distance.
Vanessa and Rob were super nice people. The cabin was impeccably clean and super cozy. Everything we needed was already here. This is an amazing place to stay. I highly recommend this cabin.
Beautiful cabin tucked into the woods. Very clean, well stocked, and comfortable. Peaceful and quiet. Would recommend. Wish we had more time there. And visit the musk ox farm only a few minutes away if you have time
