This was the very best place we have ever stayed. This is a well built cabin with extra nice interior. It was close to attractions, but gave us a quiet place to come back to at the end of the day. Plenty of room for 2 people so that you’re not underfoot all day. I don’t rate many things, but this cabin really impressed us.

We loved our stay in cabin 2! Cabin was neat and very well appointed. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything you could need in it. We enjoyed the privacy in the trees yet it was close to everything you could need. We would absolutely stay here again. Geoff and Kirsten

5 star ratings are well deserved

This cabin in the woods was absolutely perfect. No surprises- no wondering how the pictures could have made it look so much bigger. Absolute peace and quiet, unplugged feeling sitting out on the porch but only 10 minutes into town if we needed anything. The cabin was immaculate and welcoming. The heating stove was terrific with separate temp controls for the bedroom. Rob and Vanessa were fantastic hosts, not only giving us a heads-up about a neighbor doing some earthwork ( that we never even heard) but having a few snacks waiting for us as they knew we would not have a chance to stop by Fred Meyer on the way in from the airport. They even offered a few “must see” suggestions. Believe the ratings - this has been one of the best stays we have ever booked on Vrbo.

Beautiful Cottage Retreat!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It exceeded our expectations and we decided it was just perfect. Rob and Vanessa were responsive and helpful throughout the renting process and our time there. Our cottage was clean, looked brand new and was well stocked with dishes, utensils, pans, linens, soaps, detergents and shampoos. Our bed was comfortable and the laundry facilities were excellent and appreciated as we were there toward the end of our trip. The location of this property was just amazing - in the woods, easily accessible, quiet and beautiful. We so enjoyed our stay. Thank you Rob and Vanessa for a memorable time at your cottage.

Cozy, Quiet and Beautiful

My family visited from out of state and I had them stay here, it was close to our home. It is such a beautifully built tiny home in a gorgeous forested area of Palmer’s farm country. They loved it and want to stay here when they visit from now on. The host was very easy to communicate with. I had requested a drip coffee maker and it was at the cabin when my family arrived. Great host, great place to stay! Highly recommend!

Exactly what I wanted in an AK stay

Fantastic cabin! Super cute. Clean. Located back in the trees to really feel special. Stayed with my husband. Cabin is equipped with what you'll need for a normal stay. Close to town but far enough we felt separated. Host is friendly & kept communication open. We wish plans allowed us to have stayed longer!

Wonderful stay in a charming cabin

We could not have been happier with our stay. Rob and Vanessa communicated with us at every step. Always friendly and helpful. The cabin was more than we expected. We felt right at home immediately. It had everything we needed. The furnishings and decorating were charming and new and fresh. The kitchen was well stalked. There was plenty of comfy bedding and towels. It felt like we were in the woods but we were just a short way from town. We especially appreciated the TV cable selections which went far beyond options we have had in other rentals. I hope we get back here soon.

Peaceful Cozy Cabin with amazing Charm

Communication with the owner was wonderful. They answered any questions immediately and also checked in to make sure my stay was as comfortable as possible. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful woods and took several walks down to the road. I cozied up with their little electric fire, took warm and inviting showers, cleaned my clothes after being out in the rain, baked goodies in the cure little oven, and even used the fire pit outside with cut wood provided. It was by far the most relaxing stay I have had in Palmer. Easy access to the front door and had a darling porch. The woods are stunning but I would recommend bug spray. The road accessing the cabin is on stunning rolling hills that display Pioneer Peak Mountain majestically. Just an all around amazing stay. I hope to stay again.
