Cute home in quiet area!

This home was close to the attractions we were there for and in a quiet secluded area. We loved that they had out door games and a fire pit. The farm fresh eggs, fruit, and pancakes were an appreciated bonus!

Great base station

This property was a true gem. While visiting our son we used this as a base station for the first portion of our trip. The cabin was extremely clean and very comfortable. The host was amazing and the breakfast items she delivered including fresh eggs from the farm were a great touch that added to the overall experience. In all of our travels that was a first and much appreciated. We will definitely stay at Rustic Moose on our next trip.

Wonderful cabin

This was our first trip to Alaska. Loved the cabin, so roomy and quiet. Erin is a great host, she was quick to reply. Farm fresh eggs were waiting for us. She was very accommodating when I asked if we could get more eggs. This cabin is perfectly located central to the attractions we visited. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful cabin for 4

Beautiful clean cabin with lots of amenities, two great bathrooms and tasteful Alaska-themed decorations. We enjoyed the fresh eggs and fruit, that is a very nice touch! I need to say though that there are only 2 bedrooms and just 1 queen and 1 twin trundle bed. The additional 4 sleeping spaces were on inflatable mattresses and on fold-out living room sofa with shrink-wrapped thin mattress where you feel every spring. My friend left with back pain. The owner Erin was very responsive and kind. Really wonderful place for 4 people, but I would probably not stay here again if there are more of us.

Hidden Gem in Palmer!

The cabin is absolutely gorgeous and was more than enough room for our family of four. It has a kitchen with everything you need to fix and enjoy meals. The propane grill was nice to allow us to grill a couple of times. We absolutely loved our stay in this quiet little nook of Palmer. The hosts were very friendly and easy to communicate with. If you are looking for a great place to stay while visiting Alaska or even a small getaway from the hustle and bustle of daily life, this is the perfect place to stay! We would gladly stay here again, any night!

Cute & Clean House

Everything was fine - clean and nice to have the fresh eggs (we love our eggs!). I think it should be noted that the bed descriptions are as follows: There is a twin trundle bed in the bedroom that was really too small for my teen boys. Thin mattresses and very squeaky flimsy springs. Fine for regular sized children, but my boys are adult sized. Also, the queen bed in the "loft" area is an air bed, not a real bed. It ended up working (we took the mattress off the trundle for one kid) but it should be better described in the home description. We had a campfire one night. It was delightful!

Rural home

This was an enjoyable stay! Without being too remote (too far from Anchorage or Wasilla), we were able to have a remote home experience. Parents loved (kids bemoaned 😉) the lack of WiFi. It forced them to spend time playing games and cornhole. Note to out of state visitors: our cell carrier has NO service in the state of Alaska. Something to look into. We found ourselves parked outside of McDonalds a few times. The yard area is large & two picnic tables allow for outdoor eating if the weather is warm enough. (No table inside- which suited us just fine. We used the coffee table/ sat in the ground.) We stayed here with our 6 kids. Although there were technically enough beds, the pull out bed was so thin, the springs made for an uncomfortable few nights. There could be a few more pillows and blankets for sitting around the house & more comfort. We didn’t see the owners at all, except for when we sought them out. No wildlife except for a rabbit. I really liked the layout. For the size of the house, it held our family well. Kitchen was large and open to the living area. 2 showers, with the majority of the sleeping spaces upstairs was a great fit. Exactly what we were looking for.

We had a great time visiting Alaska again which was made all the more special by staying in this great property. The house had everything we needed for the four of us, two of which were elderly. No hesitation to stay there again.

Enjoyable Stay!

There were 8 adults that came in our group and we stayed a week and a half. Very nice cabin- super clean and had everything we needed. The bread, fruit, and farm fresh eggs were very nice to have for our group. The owner even brought over additional eggs for us! There were a variety of games like cornhole and washers we made use of in the large yard that included some comfy chairs for relaxing on. Would stay here again if we come back! The cabin is just a few miles from some popular trails, so it's in a great location.
