We had a great stay, perfect location, house was clean, comfy and well equipped with everything we needed for an easy stay. Will definitely book again next time we need a place in Palmer.
Overall excellent experience. Minor issues like the light not workingโฆbut the host was very helpful with that. So not a negative experience at all. Highly recommend
I really enjoyed staying at this property. It exceeded my expectations for amenities, cleanliness, and location. Was here to visit my daughter who lives in Palmer and got to cook her a couple of meals in the great kitchen space. The living area, bathroom, and bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again!
