Sigh, must I leave?
My stay at this beautiful property was just what I wanted. Photos on VRBO are accurate, but there’s something about physically experiencing it that cannot be captured in a photo. Everything was ready for my stay. Spotless. The interior decor is exceptionally well done to my taste. The kitchen had everything I needed, as did the rest of the house. I appreciated the washer and dryer! The deck overlooks the river basin. I was one of fortunate ones who chose a day that I could see Denali in the distance. A lovely firepit on the deck was perfect for unwinding and enjoying my surrounding. Same with the awesome hot tube. If the chance ever comes again for me to visit Palmer, I will stay here, if they will have me. Gorgeous home. Thank you for allowing me to stay.

Best home in Palmer
I stayed for my birthday weekend. The host Amanda went above and beyond in welcoming me to her home. She had an adorable birthday card with a hand written note along with a balloon and my favorite wine. She made it a point to make sure there was a fire pit there and the jacuzzi was prepped and ready to go! First of all.. if you want to feel like you are in a Hallmark movie 10/10 recommend staying here when it’s snowing, the floor to ceiling windows that over look the river is spectacular.I easily sat there in awe of the beautiful view for 2hours. The fireplace adds the perfect amount of coziness and warmth. The amount of attention to details and atmosphere you could tell was carefully thought out. From the kitchenware down to the amount of wall plugs, to the amenities in the bathroom everything think was high quality.. i had to ask where she bought the shampoo and conditioner be cause i felt like i left the hair salon after using the products. I could go on and on about how amazing this home is.. but I will say the one bad thing about this experience was the fact i had to leave. 10/10 would recommend spending at-least 1 night here!! If I could I would love to live here.
