Matanuska Villa #1, Glacier Suites - Matanuska Villa #1

The Villas of Matanuska are Glacier Suites’ original & most centrally-located set of eight standalone residences, all constructed using ICF (insulated concrete forms) for the ultimate in comfort and quiet. The fully-furnished, standalone villas each have 3-bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, radiant heated floors, a fully-stocked kitchen, storage room, ensuite laundry, charming living areas and many more upgraded amenities designed to accommodate up to 8 guests. Enjoy wooded views while you Netflix and chill on our Roku-enabled TV, or keep up with business using the included wifi. This location boasts a prime location just minutes from downtown Palmer, Hatcher Pass, or Wasilla, with convenient access to all of the main highways.
Palmer is just 45-60 minutes northeast of Anchorage, and is a an ideal basecamp for all kinds of attractions throughout south central Alaska. While adventure & activities (like Hatcher Pass, the Reindeer Farm, Musk Ox Farm, Glacier Tours, and more!) are practically right in our backyard, we are also a great go-between for stays ranging north to Talkeetna & Denali National Park, northeast to the Matanuska Glacier & out to the Al-Can Highway, and, of course, south to the fishing & outdoor mecca that is Alaska's Kenai Peninsula.
We make your Alaskan getaway comfortable, clean and convenient. Private guest accommodations at this residence include:
- 1 primary queen bedroom with ensuite full bathroom
- 1 bedroom with queen size bed
- 1 bedroom with two twin beds
- 2 additional cots stored in the twin guest room closet
*Pets welcome. Contact your host for additional information.

Hockey base camp

The property was clean, simple and close enough to our venues. The T.V. Remote was broken, but other than that we had a nice stay.

Great Stay in Palmer

My husband, daughter, son-in-law and I stayed at this property while in the area for a family wedding. The house was very clean, attractive and comfortable. We enjoyed the open living/kitchen area for relaxing in the evening when our activities were over. We appreciated that there were laundry facilities. The neighborhood is very quiet yet has easy access to major thoroughfares that connect to both downtown Palmer and Anchorage. Check in, check out and communications were all clear and smooth. I highly recommend this property to anyone needing accommodations for 4 to 6 people, with easy access to Palmer, Wasilla and Anchorage.

Just right

Clean, spacious, quiet and warm. Plenty of hot water for parents, grandparents, and young folks after ice skating competiton and hockey tournament. A haven in midst of much coming and going. Very nice to be able to reconvene over dinner together at end of busy day. Would definitely come again.

Comfortable, tastefully decorated, and clean. Really appreciated the washer and dryer. Would’ve liked soaps and shampoo in both the bathrooms, but other than that small detail, it was very nice!
