It was a fantastic stay for my family. The setting is more breathtaking than the pictures could portray. Incredibly comfortable accommodations and we were able to grill a couple of nice full meals for the family.

Perfect Retreat!!
Our family of four was in town for a few nights and wanted somewhere close-ish to town...with a hot tub:). This home was better than we could have ever expected!! The communication was amazing!! We received the check-in message with all details the morning before and had no issues finding the house or getting in. The house was spotless upon arrival. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need. The hot tub is fantastic, with great views of the mountains and valley below. Our kids loved the bunk space and outdoor games. Plenty of towels for the hot tub and bathrooms. This was definitely a five-star stay!! Thanks again!!!

Great Stay
This was one of, if not the best rental home we have stayed. Every detail was thought of in this home…plus a great view! Lot of nice additions and features everywhere, like axe throwing in the garage. We took my mom and our 3 boys on the trip, and this house was perfect. We would stay here again!

Perfect location and lovely home
the accommodations were perfect. the house is very lovely and had all of the amenities. We used the hot tub, grill and loved the rocking chairs! The host is very responsive and helpful. Centrally located in Palmer and easy access to Anchorage, Talkeatna, and a lot of things to do around Palmer. We would definitely recommend the house and would love to come back.
