Gorgeous cottage in heavenly location

We ❤️ our stay at this GORGEOUS cottage straight from a Disney fairytale! The cottage was impeccably kept. It was cleaner than my own home (and I'm bit of a neat freak). The owners though of EVERYTHING! Highly recommended!!

Home away from home

This cottage met all my expectations plus more. It was the most comfortable stay nestled in the woods away from people and noise. I looked forward to a peaceful sleep every night and a serene wake up every morning. The hosts were very friendly and attentive.

Reliably clean stay in beautiful surroundings

Hosts are great with communication, always clean and has fresh bedding, well maintained property, secluded yet just a few minutes in to downtown Palmer. Great change of pace from staying at hotels when I'm on a work trip. Just wish I could manage to get myself there earlier instead of getting in as late as I tend to.

Cozy, comfortable, stay…

Loved the setting! So beautiful, with mountains all around me! The cottage was very cozy, clean, and comfortable….perfect for a couple, or a single, like me. Very close to Palmer and Farm Loop, yet set back in the tress for privacy. Rob and Vanessa were great hosts!

This cabin is an escape. Gorgeous wooded area, super quiet, excellent location. The cabin is well made and decorated just right. All your needs and wants have been thought of when you stay here. No attention to detail was missed. The bed is very comfortable. Check in and out was a breeze. The cabin was very clean. We will be back for sure!

Awesome cabin

The cabin is awesome. It has everything you need. We didn’t get to meet Rob as he was out of town working but Vanessa was very helpful to us. And she was gracious enough to let my wife play with her dogs. If we ever get back that way we will definitely stay with them again.

Very comfortable cabin

The cabin was comfortable, clean and convenient. Vanessa and Rob were such great hosts. Excellent communication and helpful in all aspects. The cabin is small but perfect for a couple. The only minor difficulty was the main road to the property was a challenge during a snow/windstorm but that was not something anyone has any control if. The hosts did keep their driveway clear.

Great little (new) cabin in the woods, with modern furnishings and decor. It’s got a bedroom, bathroom, and a kitchenette/living area. Owners were communicative, the place was clean and as advertised. It is at the end of a long, gravel/dirt driveway, but most vehicles will be fine. While you can see other residences through the trees, the cabin gives the feel of an isolated woodsy experience. It’s not very bug, but suitable for a base for exploration.
