Quiet, Cozy and Comfortable

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)

Wonderful Gracious Hosts

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.

The best rental we ever had

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.

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.

Visited the Salmon Run with a group of girlfriends for a weekend trip and had the best time! The Salmon Run is super cozy and has everything you could need!

Where do I start....From top to bottom this place was a luxury. They thought of every detail possible. They were very friendly. Gave us our space. Gave us tips and pointers on where to go. A friendly secluded retreat. Our family did not want to leave. We loved it. Thank you guys for making our Alaska experience that much greater.

Perfect little getaway

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.

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!
