Awesome location for us and was ready very quickly after our last minute booking. They communicated with us immediately and always available for any questions. The Internet went down, and they proactively communicated to reboot the router which fixed the problem. It was close enough to walk to nearby restaurants or really awesome ice cream (who would of thought at 9:30pm there is a line when it was 10deg outside ๐Ÿ˜Š). Also very close to drive to the main road and all supermarkets etc. We had a dog with us and he enjoyed the place as well, easy to take out for a walk, it would be nice if the backyard was completely fenced so he could of walked off leash is the only improvement I can think of. Thanks for letting us stay and we will be back again!

We had a great stay and would definitely come back. The place gets amazing natural light and the views are even better in person. Everything was really clean and you can tell itโ€™s well taken care of. The location is super convenient tooโ€”easy to get into and out of town. The hosts were awesomeโ€”super quick to respond and really accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed for our kids, including a pack and play and a few other helpful touches. Would absolutely recommend staying here.

Derek & Bianca are consistently responsive hosts, who are engaged in making oneโ€™s stay comfortable and positive in every way. Their place stayed warm and cozy, even in the dead of a frigid Alaskan winter. A comfortable bed, hot shower, a Keurig coffee maker, a convenient washer and dryer, and quiet tenants below, are a few of the perks that I appreciated about their place. When I preferred a specialty coffee, there were multiple coffee shop options in Palmer within walking distance to choose from, one visible from the front window! Thanks Derek and Bianca for sharing your space - I would stay again!

While our location is in the heart of Palmer, we highly recommend a rental car to fully experience the majestic landscapes of the Mat-Su Valley and beyond. ๐€๐›๐ฎ๐ง๐๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐Ž๐ง-๐’๐ข๐ญ๐ž ๐๐š๐ซ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  Forget the stress of street parking!

Ride-Sharing: Uber and local taxi services are readily available for quick trips around town or to nearby Wasilla. Valley Transit: For those looking for public transport, Valley Transit offers bus services between Palmer, Wasilla, and Anchorage. ๐„๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐ƒ๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐“๐ข๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ Wasilla: ~15 minutes (10 miles).

Pro-Tip: Take the Scenic Route For a true taste of "Old Alaska," we recommend skipping the main freeway and taking the Old Glenn Highway. This delightful 19-mile country road meanders through the heart of the original Matanuska Colony Farmlands and offers a quieter, more scenic alternative for your journey.
