The place was large and accommodated seven adults and two small children easily. Very clean and had all the things we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay there again. I would add that there were two things that could’ve been better, two of the three bedrooms were way too warm, the third room was too cold, so the zones were off. And the beds weren’t quite as comfortable as we would’ve liked them to have been.

Alaskan Wedding Adventure

A group of six of us were in the area for a wedding. This location really worked well for us. Very easy to get around Palmer and Wasilla. Quiet location and clean accommodations. We even took a short drive up to Talkeetna for lunch hoping we’d see Denali. Clouds did not cooperate, but lunch was good. We also drove up to Hatcher’s Pass.

The cleanliness of the place is bit questionable. The beds were clean but there were pet hairs all around the living room rug and furniture. The coffee machine provided was never cleaned as there was fungus from someone who might have used weeks or months ago. Amenities were ok but few basic items like kitchen towels were missing. Everything looked like used in a budget or should I say in frugal way. There were only 4 washing pods available for our guest group of 7. Additionally the cleaning crew left sheets in washer and dryer in incomplete state. The price is not very low for the place I would say because we stayed in similar prices property in Alaska in our trip but the amenities and cleanliness were definitely very well above for other places. The host responds quickly and the communication is good.

Just what we needed

We rented this property, so we could spend Thanksgiving with my mother who is a shut-in at Maple Springs & confined to a wheelchair. The open layout of the house & the concrete floors were awesome. Our family had a great couple days of fellowship & really bolstered my mom’s spirit. We will definitely do this again!

Wow

We needed a place that could handle a pretty disabled person. It was perfect. No step up to the entrance door. The polished concrete floors were beautiful and again, perfect for wheel chair use. And a real roll-in shower was also perfect for our needs. The place is beautiful, very well kept,and super clean Thanks. You really made this trip so much easier than expected.
