I traveled to Palmer from Nome with some friends and our 9-11 year old boys to visit the state fair. This house was perfect for us! Very clean, much more spacious than we anticipated, and was in a great location. Walked to the Palmer Ale House one night, and walked over to the historic railroad trail to the Matanuska River. There are pull out beds in almost every room for more sleeping space if needed. Had fun playing old records on the record player and putting together puzzles at night.

Everything was exactly like the description. It was a perfect place for our youth group to stay while we attended a conference. Kitchen had everything we needed for our group and the beds were comfortable- even the hide-a-bed in the master bedroom.

We had a great stay in Palmer at Shelley’s house! We were a family of 9 and all fit comfortably. It’s new, well decorated, bright, comfy, and very close to downtown Palmer. Would highly recommend staying here!

While the outside may look a bit unkept, don't let that discourage you. The inside is very nice! This is one of the best stocked kitchens I've ever seen at this type of rental unit. Well stocked in terms of cookware, silverware, plates and glasses/cups, as well as spices. All of the bedrooms were of decent size - two of them very spacious. There were a couple minor issues but all resolved within 24 hours. Easy walking to shopping and restaurants available in Palmer.

Great accommodations; clean and crisp decor. There were several extra things that made it convenient for our group: fans in every rooom, a pak n play, baby gate, and a zip line in the back was a hit with the teens. The owner was easy to communicate with and answered any questions promptly.

Only one small glitch- shower hot water didn’t work and Shelly was awesome repairing it the next morning , but only one of 8 of us got a hot shower before we had to depart.

The owner is so thoughtful in how she supplies the house - fresh coffee and teas in the kitchen, medical supplies and quality bath products in the bathroom, and toys and games for the family. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen spotless. It was great to have 2 living spaces so the kids had their own area. We choose Palmer as it offered so many options for our teens if weather became a problem- fab zipline right in Palmer (we all loved it!), Matanuska Glacier not far, a Reindeer Farm nearby, Hatcher Pass & Independence Mine, bike trails, and Talkeetna only 1 1/2 hour away for Denali adventures. There are also several nearby opportunities for helicopter rides out to glaciers. It made the perfect base. Thank you Shelly! I wish we had booked more time in Palmer.

Nicest VRBO we’ve stayed at! Shelley had everything from coffee to shampoo to condiments. Place is brand new nice and clean. Shelley checked on us to make sure we had what we needed. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you!

Our stay at this house was wonderful! The interior of the house was lovely! The open kitchen and living room area created a perfect place for family to gather. Having games, toys, even an expansive selection of records was a special treat for everyone in the family. The house was across the street from a gorgeous walking and viewing area. There were plenty of rooms and beds for everyone! It a terrific place for our family to start our Alaskan adventure.

Nicely renovated and furnished.
We arrived on one of the warmest days in the summer. The upper story was very warm and window screens were not present in every room. The owner brought by brand new fans and we were comfortable for the rest of the stay.

Bright open space. Loved everything about it. Loved the decor! Every room was inviting and perfect for us to lounge and visit and play games. The kitchen was fully stocked. The breakfast island is a great gathering spot. All the beds and linens were exceptional.
