Great stay with awesome host. Bathroom was the cherry on top. So fun for all of us in a very quiet secluded location with views to dream about. Such a great place for our thanksgiving staycation!
The Lazy Mountain Cabin was a beautiful place for us to hold our family reunion. Quiet, spacious, classy, well-maintained, and location was perfect! We will definitely be back!
This home is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect getaway place for our girls trip. It had plenty of room for us to relax . The location is a short distance from Hatchers Pass where we spent a great deal of time hiking.We will put this on our favorites list and stay here for future visits to Palmer. Thank you for sharing your home with us we did not want to leave.
A beautiful house with beautiful amenities! We had a wonderful 10 days at the Lazy Mountain View. We had no issues and the caretaker was available if we needed anything. This house will not disappoint! Thank you Ricky and Terri for your exceptional hospitality!
We were in the Palmer area for hockey tournament and rented this house for a couple of the families. Check-in was very easy and the home was very clean. The host was extremely accommodating for our group. I recommend this property to any large group that is looking for large spaces and beautiful views. I will definitely be saving it for future stays in the area.
The home is very lovely and comfortable. A quiet area with gorgeous views. The owners and manager are very responsive to any questions. We had four couples with plenty of room.
This is a great home and well equipped for a large group. Beautiful home that is well equipped and has good amenities. The beds and pillows (which are normally tough for me) are so comfortable!
Location is very convenient to all the Matanuska Valley activities but gives you a great feeling of being in the Alaskan nature with privacy. Highly recommend!
There is absolutely nothing to complain about! This home is amazing with amazing views! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Ricky and Terri were so accommodating! I definitely recommend booking a stay! We will certainly be back!
The house is beautiful, well equipped, and we loved the wood burning stove in the main room to enjoy a relaxing evening by the fire. The hosts are GREAT and very responsive. This is a 5 star VRBO. The views are fantastic as long as the weather permits you to see it. Even if the weather is not so good, it is a wonderful place to stay.

It was a pleasure to host the Faitala’s. It is so nice to have you stay and enjoy the property. We look forward to having you back again to create more memories!
Beautiful cabin home in a quiet neighborhood. We were able to sit and enjoy coffee and visit with the gorgeous view of the mountains out the front window. House was very clean with amazing upscale bathrooms. Ricky was great to communicate with and offered many suggestions for things to do and restaurants in the area. Would definitely stay here again.
Roomy and comfy for our group, beautiful views with very few homes around. Responsive hosts when we had questions. Spectacular master bathroom. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Spacious, lovely home in Palmer with gorgeous view!
Our family really enjoyed our week here and loved the location and large yard. The bedrooms are very nice and the large bathrooms are wonderful, especially the master, wow! Rick and Terri are very helpful and answered any questions right away. Look forward to staying here again next time we’re in Palmer.
We had seven friends stay there and had an awesome experience! Terry gave us lots of information and was very helpful. We had a small issue the first night and she was right on fixing it and took care of it quickly. We would definitely use this house again!
