Great property

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.

Great location and wonderful property

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!

Great Mountain Lodge

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.
