About this property

Unique & Imaginative: Time Traveler's B&B in Downtown Palmer

Journey Through Time in the Heart of Downtown Palmer!

Step into a living museum where the future meets the past—and every moment is a cinematic adventure! Welcome to Palmer’s 5-star Time Travel Experience, the perfect escape for sci-fi enthusiasts, movie lovers, and curious minds of all ages.

Imagine waking up in a room inspired by your favorite time travel films, with panoramic mountain views, whimsical gardens, and a charming downtown just steps away. This extraordinary second-story suite is more than lodging—it is your private time machine, designed by a former Walt Disney Imagineer to spark joy, wonder, and nostalgia.

What Awaits You:

• An Era for Every Room – Travel from the Victorian West of Back to the Future 3 to the mind-bending world of Twelve Monkeys, then skip across the multiverse beneath glowing stars and mechanical marvels.

• Two Enchanting Bedrooms – Sleep up to five adults in beautifully themed rooms, each with a private bath. A secret Micro-verse hideaway offers a bonus bed for a truly tiny traveler.

• Rainy Day Fun – With games galore and immersive details everywhere, even a storm feels like part of the adventure.

Delicious Breakfasts with a Twist – Start your day with our famous “Hill Valley Breakfast Sandwiches” and “Clara’s Soufflés,” served in a 1950s dining parlor where your hostess resets the table with daily flair.

Whimsical Features to Discover:

• The Luggage Lift – A delightful mini ride that carries your bags to the upper level.

• The Paradox Parlor – A mid-century tribute to the strange tale of Twelve Monkeys.

• The Hill Valley Continuum – A Victorian honeymoon suite for Doc Brown and Clara fans.

• The Multiverse Room – With twin beds, a starry ceiling, and a convertible Micro-verse closet-bedroom.

• The Quantum Realm Bathroom – Kid-friendly, with a nod to Quantum Leap and a step stool for your littlest travelers.

• The Stargate Treehouse – Sip tea, swing, and stargaze in this backyard portal to another world.

Your visit begins with an orientation video to set the scene—and every detail from décor to daily care is infused with creativity and thoughtful design. Our cleaning ritual includes state-of-the-art UV sanitizing light, ensuring a safe, spotless experience.

Time is not linear here—it is magical. Are you ready to check in across the continuum?

Time Traveler extraordinaire

We so enjoyed staying here and visiting with family. We did dig sledding and glacier tour thru Alaska Helicopter Tours. Visited glaciers thru Phillips Glacier tours in Whittier and drove to Talkeetna to try and see Denali. Such a great place to stay with fresh cookies every morning and “Tang” and lemonade in refrigerator! So many other things to do!

The Time Traveler's B&B was hands down the most fun and interesting stay we've had to date.

Not the usual ABNB!

Check in and check out where effortless. Carrol’s video is very informative and I watched it several times to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Spent three days, could’ve spent a week to read all the interesting items throughout the property. Fresh coffee every morning and goodies in the fridge and freezer were a welcome treat. I’ll go back with my wife next time we visit!

Wonderful place

This was an absolutely great place to stay. The views were wonderful. It was very walkable to Palmer, which made our stay even better. Carol, our host, was very thoughtful. She was kind, understanding and easy to communicate with. She seemed to have thought through every detail to make it better. The beds were comfortable and it was helpful having a separate room for the kiddos. It was endearingly quirky and fun. My eight year old said it was his favorite part of the whole trip. We will definitely be staying here again when we visit in the future

Great stay

Carol’s attention to detail is top notch to make her place unique and fun! Although Carol lives downstairs, you won’t see her unless you need to….she is very responsive to any requests and the coffee and milk appears in the morning to add to the assortment of breakfast goodies! I’d stay here again. Walking distance to downtown Palmer shopping and restaurants. Beds are comfy

A Magical Stay at Time Traveler's B&B

My family and I were absolutely charmed by Time Traveler's B&B in downtown Palmer. Our overnight stay was brief, but the attention to detail, cozy beds, and thoughtful (and creative!) touches throughout the B&B made our experience a great one. It was a journey through time and imagination that we thoroughly enjoyed — thank you, Carol!
