This is our second time staying in the cottage. It is a picturesque, spotless, quiet little cottage in a convenient location for visiting local attractions. The hosts are very helpful and responsive. We'll be back!!
We would highly recommend a stay here. Very clean and comfortable. Good coffee, great bed and we loved sitting on the covered porch in the evening. Thanks we will be back!
We had a wonderful one night stay at the cottage after a long day of travel. Well appointed, comfortable, clean and cozy. We would definitely stay again if ever in the area..
We ❤️ our stay at this GORGEOUS cottage straight from a Disney fairytale! The cottage was impeccably kept. It was cleaner than my own home (and I'm bit of a neat freak). The owners though of EVERYTHING! Highly recommended!!
Rented the cottage for a family member (I live in the area). Cute, well-built and clean. In a quite and scenic location that is very close to Palmer. No disappointments. Owners are nice people and attentive. Two thumbs up.
This cottage met all my expectations plus more. It was the most comfortable stay nestled in the woods away from people and noise. I looked forward to a peaceful sleep every night and a serene wake up every morning. The hosts were very friendly and attentive.
Awesome place with great access to the matsu valley
Great cabins. Tucked away off fishhook road, easy access up into Hatcher and to the Glenn highway. Probably will book again the next time I’m in town for snowmachining. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.
The cabin was comfortable, clean and convenient. Vanessa and Rob were such great hosts. Excellent communication and helpful in all aspects. The cabin is small but perfect for a couple. The only minor difficulty was the main road to the property was a challenge during a snow/windstorm but that was not something anyone has any control if. The hosts did keep their driveway clear.
Clean, cozy, and nicely decorated. Most important: a comfortable bed! Highly recommend!
Host made great local food recommendations and communicated quickly about the few things we weren't sure about.
Hosts are great with communication, always clean and has fresh bedding, well maintained property, secluded yet just a few minutes in to downtown Palmer. Great change of pace from staying at hotels when I'm on a work trip. Just wish I could manage to get myself there earlier instead of getting in as late as I tend to.
This cabin is an escape. Gorgeous wooded area, super quiet, excellent location.
The cabin is well made and decorated just right. All your needs and wants have been thought of when you stay here. No attention to detail was missed. The bed is very comfortable. Check in and out was a breeze. The cabin was very clean.
We will be back for sure!
