  • This is one of my favorite places to take kids, family, and friends when they come for a visit. It is a truly "Alaska" experience to be able to wander among and feed the Reindeer here. And the scenery on the way can't be beat! Landscape wise, Pioneer Peak is the star of the show on this trip along the Old Glenn Highway & Bodenburg Loop Road.

Perfect cabin for a staycation! We had everything we needed for cooking, relaxing, sleeping, and the place was clean and neat. The host was very accommodating, and the location is great for those who want to explore the best that Palmer has to offer. Maybe next time we’ll bring the pups!
