This was the very best place we have ever stayed. This is a well built cabin with extra nice interior. It was close to attractions, but gave us a quiet place to come back to at the end of the day. Plenty of room for 2 people so that you’re not underfoot all day. I don’t rate many things, but this cabin really impressed us.

I loved that the bedroom and living area had separate heating sources, we like a cool bedroom. Attention to detail was top notch with fluffy towels to coffee pods, cider & filtered water. We requested sheets and towels to be washed in non-fragrance detergent, which was not an issue. Very private and cozy cottage. If ever back in Palmer I’d stay again.

I dreamed of a cabin in the woods and this fit perfectly!! The cottage is just the right distance from town. It is close enough to go visit and find what I need! I stayed over a month and Vanessa and Rob were very accommodating hosts! If I needed anything they had it ready for me. When I arrived there was a fire going in the gas fireplace. The place was clean and ready for new guests. I loved having a washer and dryer in unit. I felt safe and comfortable! In fact, I am returning in a couple of weeks and staying here. I was here to see leaves turning and hopefully there will be snow when I come again.
