About this property

Matanuska Villa #2, Glacier Suites - Matanuska Villa #2

The Villas of Matanuska are Glacier Suites’ original & most centrally-located set of eight standalone residences, all constructed using ICF (insulated concrete forms) for the ultimate in comfort and quiet. The fully-furnished, standalone villas each have 3-bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, radiant heated floors, a fully-stocked kitchen, storage room, ensuite laundry, charming living areas and many more upgraded amenities designed to accommodate up to 8 guests. Enjoy wooded views while you Netflix and chill on our Roku-enabled TV, or keep up with business using the included wifi. This location boasts a prime location just minutes from downtown Palmer, Hatcher Pass, or Wasilla, with convenient access to all of the main highways.
Palmer is just 45-60 minutes northeast of Anchorage, and is a an ideal basecamp for all kinds of attractions throughout south central Alaska. While adventure & activities (like Hatcher Pass, the Reindeer Farm, Musk Ox Farm, Glacier Tours, and more!) are practically right in our backyard, we are also a great go-between for stays ranging north to Talkeetna & Denali National Park, northeast to the Matanuska Glacier & out to the Al-Can Highway, and, of course, south to the fishing & outdoor mecca that is Alaska's Kenai Peninsula.
We make your Alaskan getaway comfortable, clean and convenient. Private guest accommodations at this residence include:
- 1 primary queen bedroom with ensuite full bathroom
- 1 bedroom with queen size bed
- 1 bedroom with two twin beds
- 2 additional cots stored in the twin guest room closet
*Pets welcome. Contact your host for additional information.

The place was clean and everything we needed for our quick 12 hour stop! I did not see any coffee or even look in kitchen to see if there were basic kitchen needs - we literally slept, showered & checked out! But, again it worked for us for a night.

This property was great! The beds were super comfortable and the place was very quiet. We would stay here again. The only thing I would upgrade is the drinking cups. They are plastic and don't reflect on how nice the place is.

Great accommodations

Although this trip was bittersweet, since we came for a celebration of life for my brother who has lived here for forty years, it was a very nice trip. The accommodation were just right. We were able to host a small family dinner. If I come back up to Alaska or know anyone coming up here, would definitely recommend this VRBO. Thank you

Spacious, clean, quiet. This was perfect for the weekend.

Property was great for the weekend. Just far enough from town to be private but close enough to be convenient. Spacious, clean, and inviting. Definitely look here if you’re needed a place to stay.

We enjoyed the spaciousness and the beds were very comfortable. For older folks a chair at front entrance and 8n bedrooms would help fir taking off shoes and getting dressed as the beds are too high to sit on and dress.

Almost perfect…..

This is such a fun property with easy access to the Wasilla/Anchorage areas. The houses are comfortable and quiet which was great! We did however notice that the doors were filthy. There were finger prints and black smudge marks on doors near door knobs and on the back of many doors. It wouldn’t have taken much to get them cleaner which would have made this stay perfect! I would however stay here again and recommend you do as well!

Palmer

The property was furnished as shown in photos. The great room would have benefited from an additional game/dining room and chairs and another comfortable chair. There was nowhere to sit to eat or do computer work except on uncomfortable bar stools — and truly the were stools. We we arrived the screen for the sliding patio door was completely torn so not only was it insight the patio door could not be opened for ventilation without an influx of insects. The legs for the small BBQ grill had collapsed so the BBQ was laying on the patio — unsightly and unusable. On the positive side, when we pointed these out to the property manager (PM), these problems were rectified promptly. Unfortunately the interior white doors were very dirty — many dirty hands. I’m not a good scrub would have done the trick; a coat of a white semigloss was in order. Although the kitchen was furnished with basic dishes, cookware, and utensils, the operative words were “basic” and “parsimonious.” We rarely used the dishwasher because there weren’t enough dishes, etc to do more than one meal, so we hand washed after each meal. On a positive note, the location was superb and very safe. All things considered we’d stay again.

This property was perfect! It was an awesome location, beautiful property, and nice and quiet. The place was so clean and made sense. I think the corner next to the couches could have a breakfast nook or something to sit down at for meals. Fantastic place, highly recommend.

Perfect spot near Palmer!

This property was easy to access, close to town & very spacious! It had everything we needed, tons of space to unwind & we loved how close it was to Palmer. Our only complaint, we didn't stay another night! We will be back to Alaska & hope to stay here again!
