We came to Palmer with friends and family for our daughter’s wedding. Our stay was wonderful! The units were clean, comfortable and had everything we could ask for. The view is amazing too!
EXCELLENT STAY! We have stayed in both Laxy Bear and Salmon Run and both experiences have been perfection! The room is so clean and comfortable. It has everything that you could possibly need! We will stay here every time that we come to the Palmer area!
The stay was incredible! The view was amazing, the location was perfect, the suite was cozy and comfortable for all of us, and the extras were appreciated! We will definitely look to stay here again as we hope to return for more visits in the future!
This has to be one of the best places that we have stayed at.
The place is gorgeous and so is the view. Very clean, very quiet very comfortable. Thank you for a beautiful relaxing stay!
Great setting to enjoy the clean air of Alaska. Highly recommend!
Had a great time here with my nephew. This location is a bit out of Anchorage, and closer to some of the great outdoor locations such as Denali. Wonderful location, had a great time. Clean surroundings, nicely decorated. Absolutely recommend this location! Wish I'd been able to spend a couple of weeks!
The property had everything you could need. The design was very well thought out. Our hosts were great! It was quiet with a nice view of the mountains. Location was also great. Close to so many things to do. Will definitely rebook!!!!I highly recommend this property!!!
We stayed at Salmon Run for 10 days and we are so glad we chose this property! The description was exactly as presented and so much more. It was difficult to leave! You won’t be disappointed!
We were in Palmer to attend a family funeral service and injoyed th quiet and calm. My brother and his wife stayed there a couple of years ago while visiting us (we were spending the summer with family in Palmer) so had an opportunity to see the property before hand. We highly recommend this property to all, and will stay there again. Jon and Gwen.
We ended up having a family emergency and were unable to use our reservation here, as we had to leave the state. Johnnie and Donna graciously and kindly worked with VRBO and us to provide us with a full refund. Would love to stay here in the future and we would encourage others to stay with these fine hosts.
I made a mistake with the dates of our rental and we got there late, but the property owner was flexible and we got it worked out smoothly. The property itself was a dream. Spacious, well-lit, clean, a well-stocked kitchen, a comfortable bed, blackout shades on the window (although the window in the door could use something more), a washer and dryer, etc. All in all, we couldn't have been happier with it and highly recommend it!
We had a quick trip down to Palmer for just two nights. Last year we stayed at Lazy Bear, the unit next door. I love Salmon Run! For us it was perfect! Loved that it was quiet and had everything we needed for our short stay. The bed and bedding was so nice and comfortable. The property is well maintained and clean. Highly recommend! We will be back I am sure. Next year, same time, same place! (I hope)
This was the best rental we ever had! Comfortable, spacious, beautifully decorated, great view, full kitchen, full bath, huge closet. It was quiet, and the curtains blocked out the light, so we could sleep well. We appreciated labeled light switches, fan, consumables provided in kitchen, laundry and bathroom, new appliances, comfortable furnishings. A perfect place to go out to adventures from, and a "home" to rest and relax in. Thank you, we will try to return.
The property was perfect for what we needed. Most of the time you felt like you were the only ones there aside from a couple early morning wakeups. The property itself is gorgeous. I took SO many pictures of the view. The yard, the mountains, the red barn, the FLOWERS! I was obsessed with the flowers in front of the cottages. The hosts were very responsive and left us some delicious muffins that was so thoughtful and appreciated. It was a great location for a couple day trips, only 45 min from Anchorage and surrounded by beautiful mountains. I would definitely stay here again.
