Lazy mountain guesthouse is a great place to relax and enjoy with friends/family while you are visiting Palmer and adjacent areas. The house is well kept and stocked for a great stay. The views from the property are beautiful. Definitely plan to stay here if we visit again!
The house, property, neighborhood was perfect for our family vacation. House was clean, host was quick to respond, filled with amenities. We would highly recommend and would love to stay again.
Beautiful, well appointed mountain home. The hosts were so gracious & attentive. Amazing views! Great location! Easily accessible to many different places. Thank you, Heather & family!
It was a fantastic stay for my family. The setting is more breathtaking than the pictures could portray. Incredibly comfortable accommodations and we were able to grill a couple of nice full meals for the family.
It was wonderful place to stay, perfect little area to be off the main highway and a short drive to everything else. Kids loved the house, and the views. Would love to come back again!
This was one of, if not the best rental home we have stayed. Every detail was thought of in this home…plus a great view! Lot of nice additions and features everywhere, like axe throwing in the garage. We took my mom and our 3 boys on the trip, and this house was perfect. We would stay here again!
the accommodations were perfect. the house is very lovely and had all of the amenities. We used the hot tub, grill and loved the rocking chairs! The host is very responsive and helpful. Centrally located in Palmer and easy access to Anchorage, Talkeatna, and a lot of things to do around Palmer. We would definitely recommend the house and would love to come back.
Lots of real nice touches, like a coffee setup in the master bedroom, a soaking tub, tv and electric fireplace in master bathroom. A deck on second floor master bedroom overlooking panoramic view. Wall to wall windows in open area.Very functional and pleasant kitchen. Huge shower in downstairs bathroom to prepare for hot tub on covered deck.Lots of treats. Beautiful, quiet area with panoramic views and mountains all around. A nature trail just down the road.Great place to hang out and forget your troubles.
Our family of four was in town for a few nights and wanted somewhere close-ish to town...with a hot tub:). This home was better than we could have ever expected!! The communication was amazing!! We received the check-in message with all details the morning before and had no issues finding the house or getting in. The house was spotless upon arrival. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need. The hot tub is fantastic, with great views of the mountains and valley below. Our kids loved the bunk space and outdoor games. Plenty of towels for the hot tub and bathrooms. This was definitely a five-star stay!! Thanks again!!!
