Beautiful house and location!
My now-wife and I visited Palmer for our wedding elopement and the stay at this chalet was more than fitting for our occasion! The chalet was beautiful with a stunning view, warm comfort and privacy. We also planned having our photographer take pictures during our elopement and the chalet was perfect for our getting ready moments and first look. Overall, the stay at the chalet will be unforgettable and we thoroughly appreciate Tim and Felicia's communication and easy instructions.

Beautiful views
My husband and 20 yo son stayed. They said it was set up perfectly for them and would have been fantastic for 2 couples as well.
I needed to ship something up to them which was very stressful. Tim and Felicia were great at communicating and made sure they received the package.

Pretty Palmer Mountain Chalet
Beautiful VRBO. Very modern, clean and spacious. Met the owner who was so sweet and welcoming. We had just drove the Hatcher Pass and thought the amazing views might be done for the day. We were wrong! What a great place to end up after a long day. Palmer was a great little town with great people. Just lovely!

Gorgeous property
This place is absolutely beautiful. I loved everything about it. Spacious, amazing views, easy to get to, not far from town, but far enough that I felt I was out on my own. Quiet, clean and had everything I needed.

Beautiful Chalet!
The chalet was beautiful and felt like home with all the amenities provided in both the bathrooms and the kitchen! The heated floors were a great touch for the chilly early mornings getting out of bed! Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful cozy stay
This chalet was just as listed, and we were extremely pleased with our stay. The hosts were very warm, responsive and kind. The views were stunning especially with the morning sun. The chalet was very clean and beautiful and not cluttered. Plenty of towels, providing make-up wipes were a nice touch. Very comfortable beds. The shower pressure was low but completely functional. It’s up a private driveway and the home felt very private but not isolated which we loved, and we saw the local moose. It was easy to find via GPS and a lovely 10-min drive to Wasilla. Would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful Alaska Home with Incredible Views
We stayed in this warm and comfortable home for a week while we toured various places. This was an ideal location for our family and the house was perfect with a large open living room, dining area and kitchen. The views are breath-taking and we will definitely miss waking up to this every morning and watching the fire on the mountains when the sun goes down. Plus, the beds are super comfortable and the hosts are very accommodating and great to work with. We will definitely be back.
We enjoyed our stay at Abby's Place in mid-August for three nights with friends. The most exciting part was seeing a moose on the driveway when we came back from dinner! The view was gorgeous and I would recommend this place. Communication with the host was excellent.

Such a view
A great place to stay. The house has everything you need.
Looking at the house through a builders eyes, there are things that need some adjustments. As well as better finish work.
I’d stay here again
Very nice and worked perfectly for our visit to Palmer for a wedding.

Alaska Adventure
The chalet was conveniently located near many hiking trails and activities. Although it rained a bit we were able to enjoy the outdoors and the visiting moose in the yard were a pleasant surprise. The split bedroom/bathroom floor plan was perfect for us. The provided amenities were a plus and much appreciated. Overall, a great place to stay.
