Beautiful home! We really enjoyed our stay in Palmer. We had a fire in the back yard almost every night and loved the zipline! This place is close to everything.

Wonderful place to stay

Everything was exactly like the description. It was a perfect place for our youth group to stay while we attended a conference. Kitchen had everything we needed for our group and the beds were comfortable- even the hide-a-bed in the master bedroom.

Fantastic house and location

Perfect layout for big groups or families and the location cannot be beat: in addition to being walkable to all the shops and restaurants in downtown Palmer, there is an amazing Lekker coffee shop and bakery right across the street. Kids loved the basement and backyard and firepit. Highly recommend for any visitors to Palmer!

Really lovely home!

We had a great stay in Palmer at Shelley’s house! We were a family of 9 and all fit comfortably. It’s new, well decorated, bright, comfy, and very close to downtown Palmer. Would highly recommend staying here!

If you are considering a stay in Palmer and want a high quality home, best location and room for everyone, Stop your search and book this property. I have stayed at three different homes in Palmer and hands down would stay here again first above the others. Want a bonus? The owner/manager is absolutely the best around.

Family time to celebrate a family wedding

Perfect location and home for a large family. Close to shopping and activities. Home owner very kind and accommodating. Fun play area outside for little kids and a great little zip line the older kids and young adults. Great hike that begins right across the street and an ice cream shop within walking distance. We definitely recommend this property.

Gals getaway

Bright open space. Loved everything about it. Loved the decor! Every room was inviting and perfect for us to lounge and visit and play games. The kitchen was fully stocked. The breakfast island is a great gathering spot. All the beds and linens were exceptional.

Clean and classy

Great accommodations; clean and crisp decor. There were several extra things that made it convenient for our group: fans in every rooom, a pak n play, baby gate, and a zip line in the back was a hit with the teens. The owner was easy to communicate with and answered any questions promptly.

Summer solstice visit

Nicely renovated and furnished. We arrived on one of the warmest days in the summer. The upper story was very warm and window screens were not present in every room. The owner brought by brand new fans and we were comfortable for the rest of the stay.
