Great Place

The cabin was perfect. Decorated so nicely. Bed was super comfortable. Maybe too comfortable because we kept sleeping later than normal. I had to keep reminding myself that the picture window was not a painting. The view was that beautiful.

Cozy and Clean Lazy Bear Cabin

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lazy Bear. It was a warm, cozy, and very clean environment. Everything was up to date and the cabin was completely stocked with everything you would need. The view was amazing and the drive was perfect to Palmer. We will definitely stay again!

Cozy & Nice

Very comfortable for 2 people. Sleeps 4, but 2 would be in living room area on sofa sleeper. Location is great being close to Palmer & Wasilla, and is very quiet with beautiful Mountain views. The owners have the unit very well equipped with everything you may need. The decor was done very nicely & we really enjoyed our stay.

Better than I anticipated!

Lovely place to spend a week in Alaska. Visiting family and it was so nice to come back to a relaxing quiet and clean apartment. Everything we could think of was there for our convenience. Well worth the expense and made our trip so much better than a motel. Will return next trip for sure! Thanks Johnnie and and Donna for your attention to detail.

Beautiful property and excellent communication. All amenities provided and snacks for all. Clean and quiet. One recommendation to update the sofa sleeper. There is a foldaway twin bed that is very comfortable, but the sofa sleeper was not. Highly recommend staying here.

Great stay! Loved the bear theme. Very clean, easy check-in, great kitchen, thick bath towels, full washer and dryer, and nice amenities. We were arriving very late. I let the owners know and they had the pull out for our kiddo already set up. They responded quickly. Made out first night so easy. Will stay there again.

Quiet Apartment Setting In The Forest

We had a very nice stay at this property. However, we were wanting something a bit more private. Nevertheless, the accommodation was clean and nicely appointed. The owner was very courteous and quick to respond to questions and instructions. The only "complaint", so to speak, was the bed mattress. It's in desperate need of replacement. Otherwise, everything was great.

First Amazing Trip to Alaska

The Lazy Bear Cabin was everything in the pictures and more. We could tell when we entered that our hosts, Donna & Johnny, wanted this stay to be as perfect and welcoming as possible with muffins and chocolates on the bar. The cabin was clean and the bear decor was so fun. A great start to our visit. The front porch view of flowers and the mountains was enjoyed with our coffee each morning as well as in the evenings. The bed was very comfortable and we slept great after each day of adventure hiking, visiting glaciers, sea life cruises and bush flights. Thanks for a wonderful stay and we look forward to returning!

Even nicer than I expected

After 22 hours of travel, this was the perfect place to land! It was very clean, comfortable, and well stocked with beautiful views. The online pictures don’t do it justice - it’s light and bright with very high ceilings and modern fixtures. I’m very picky about mattresses and found the bed to be quite comfortable. While in Palmer we did a day trip for a Matanuska Glacier tour (awesome!) and drove to the Independence Mine, which was a gorgeous drive and felt like the top of the world. We ate at the Palmer Ale House both nights because we enjoyed it so much the first time.

Just what we were looking for

We came to Palmer for a Trade show and decided to not stay in a hotel but get something with a little more room and a kitchen. Save a little money not eating out all the time. We drove down from Fairbanks so was able to bring food from home. The place is as pictures, supper cute, quiet and comfortable. The bed was amazing, but unfortunately I didn’t even get to spend one night there. I ended up have a “heart event” and spent the entire time in the hospital. My husband got to enjoy it on his own between visits to the hospital and trade show. The hosts were great and gave us the option for late check out to accommodate our schedule. Highly recommend and hope to stay there next year when we come back down.
