Hockey Travel

We love Palmer and were in the area for a hockey tournament. It was a quiet neighborhood. However, with 4 boys ages 13, 7, 2, 2 we rented this place because it said it had a playground. There was no playground and the yard was clearly a work in progress, so we couldn't really play out there. Luckily we know the area a little so we found a pak.not

Awesome Amenities! Great Hosts!

We had a little hiccup with our reservation and Stephanie quickly handled all of the details and went above and beyond. The house is amazing!! Loved having a master bath and laundry. Plus a dishwasher!! This was by far our most luxurious stay on our trip and everyone loved it. I’m a city girl so Alaska is definitely more rustic than I’m used to and this home had all of the creature comforts! Highly recommend!! We only stayed one night but definitely wished it was more.

Great Place to Stay

This is very clean and well maintained property. It is centrally located to attractions in Palmer, Wasilla, Hatcher Pass, and the Mat-Su Valley. It is an easy drive to Anchorage and Willow where we saw the Iditarod, as well as Talkeetna. We would gladly stay here again.

Nice duplex.

The duplex was well-situated for our purposes. It was clean and modern. The only issue was a set of bunk beds that were very much meant for children rather than any adult. The sofa, however, provided a comfortable night's sleep.
