A great retreat!

The place is ideal for short or long stays with comfy memory foam beds, very clean and quiet, and easily accessible. The twin beds in the 3rd bedroom are very nice! We made meals, caught up on laundry, and walked the neighborhood. There were 3 things which could have improved the stay: chairs/seating for the back patio, dining table (seating was at the kitchen counter), and couple more chairs with seat backs (we could sit around coffee table on the bar stools, but not as comfortable). However, these wouldn’t stop us from returning!

Wonderful stay....again!

We booked this exact same unit last year at this time and it was just as clean and well maintained as last time. Quiet surroundings, no pass through traffic, right between Palmer and Wasilla so food and entertainment is close by. We attend car shows, so our custom cars were parked outside without a care in the world, lots of parking too. Would definitely recommend this owner and their properties. We are booking again in another month too!

Fabulous place to stay!

The pictures and description does not do this place justice. It is huge, new, and super clean. The kitchen granite countertop must have been 10’ long, so we had an incredible amount of room to spread out. The location is close to everything, yet tucked back off the Hwy so is private. We loved it here!

Palmer rental

My family stayed here for 3 days so we could attend the Alaska State Fair. The house was plenty big a very clean. It got really hot at night so that was uncomfortable even with the windows open. The kitchen was very nice but I'm glad we weren't planning on doing any cooking because there wasn't even salt and pepper let alone any other spices to cook with. There was coffee and filters which we appreciated. Overall it's a great rental right between Palmer and Wasilla.

Modern and clean

The concrete floors and granite countertops add to the sleek, modern feel of the Villas property. It was private, quiet, and had a nice back patio. The weather did not cooperate to enjoy much of a view, but that didn't detract from the place. The kitchen supplies were scarce, but the host brought us a cake pan when I asked about needing a pan to make cornbread, so that was super nice. The radiant heat from the floors took a while to heat the place up, but once it did, it was very comfortable. Nice accoutrements in the bathrooms.

Excellent value! Highly recommend

Melany’s home was beautiful and spacious at 1500 plus sq ft. Newer construction. Nice appliances. Host was very quick in communication by text. Home is conveniently located off Trunk road. (Easier to get in and out using Old Trunk road rather than what google suggests). We visited did day trips to Denali, Whittier, Seward. Climbed the Butte, visited Independence mines by Hatcher Pass twice! Grocery stores Fred Myers, Walmart and 3 Bears are nearby. Would definitely visit again.
