Perfect for family gatherings.

We hosted memorial dinners for our family and it was perfect. Spacious yard for kids to play in. Great for midday walks and the kitchen was plenty big. I LOVE the fact it had filtered water. I do wish they had more stainless steel pan options but we made it work. A fire pit would have been nice. Overall it was clean, spacious and worked great for our family gatherings. Loved the bathrooms! Thankful for AC and fans as it gets hot in the summer. Close to grocery stores but love the country feeling. Neighbors are close but very quiet. This picture was taken at 1am - SO thankful for the blackout blinds in the bedroom.I would stay here again!

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.

Spacious Basic Home

Minimalist home that easily accommodated our family of four. The shared space would have been more usable with additional lights and furniture. Woodstove was great for warmth and brightened dark evenings and mornings. Town of Palmer was an easy drive.

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!

Family Vacation

We came up for a family vacation and to visit friends who live in the area. The house was perfect for us with a large kitchen and gathering area. We enjoyed big family breakfasts with a beautiful view. The property owner, Rick-was onsite in a small cabin so we were able to visit with him and would have loved to spend more time with him. We drove to Denali for a day-spent a day in Talkeetna, did a day in Anchorage and Friday Fling in Palmer- just so much to see and do with beauty surrounding in every direction. Now off to Kenai for us
