So close to downtown Palmer that many restaurants deliver for free, our cottage is also conveniently located just minutes from Hatcher Pass. Come home to the beauty of the Alaskan mountains in comfort. Live in privacy on this three-and-a-half acre property, while still being within reach of all the fun Palmer and the Matsu Valley have to offer. In addition, Anchorage is still less than an hour away if you want or need to head South. Bright and homey, the bedroom houses a Queen-sized bed, and the small sofa folds over into either a thick twin or a thin queen-sized mattress. This charming cottage has plenty of room for kids or pups to run, and we're happy to have your fur baby stay (we're pet-friendly). Nestled between the mountains, Palmer's historic charm is just minutes away. Walk through the scenic downtown at night, explore the local haunts, or just look at the lights. The Matanuska Valley is known for its outdoor activities. Hatcher Pass--and all kinds of outdoor recreation both in and out of the Park--is just fifteen minutes away. If you prefer a more laid-back day in the sun, visit the golf course down the road or stroll through nearby farmland. If you want tips on things to do, just shoot me a message! We can point the way to explore local glaciers, see the dogs race, or just have a fun night out in Palmer. In addition to free reign over the whole cottage, you'll have the entire three-and-a-half acres at your disposal. Grill or sit out by the fire in the summertime, or snowshoe around the property in the winter. There's plenty of room on the property to park your car, truck, 4-wheeler, snow machine, or even an RV while you're home. In addition, our large arctic entry is big enough to comfortably hold your skis, waders, or other accouterments. It's probably best to have some sort of vehicle while you're here--public transportation is notoriously sparse--but Palmer does have a decent number of taxi companies (and some offer weekly or monthly rates), and the downtown area is only 3.5 miles away. Whether you're just looking to relax and unwind, are stopping by on longer journey, or have landed at your destination, you're sure to love this quaint Alaskan cottage. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Things to do - Golfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 300 square feet ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27390000/27384300/27384258/e0969225.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Centrally located studio Palmer - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Parking available - Barbecue grill 10 Exceptional 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=27384258&PinnedHotelID=27384258&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds This property does not allow children ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a deadbolt lock This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.
