I highly recommend staying here. The view was absolutely gorgeous! The bungalow was adorable, clean and very spacious for a studio. It was the perfect place to relax in the evenings after spending the day exploring the surrounding areas.

Spectacular!

The owners have thought of everything to make your stay amazing. It's cozy and clean, and the views are perfect. The bungalow is great for two people, and not too far from all the places we wanted to visit. Palmer had more than we guessed as far groceries and restaurants. You likely won't find a better place.

Cozy clean bungalow with a view

The Knik bungalow was very cosy, clean, quiet and well-equipped. The location is convenient for the drive along Glenn Hwy, which has the best fall color I have even seen. The hosts are very nice and left a welcoming note and two delicious muffins in the fridge! Highly recommended.

Beautiful Bugalow

Beautiful property and great views of the mountains. We had a fantastic time roasting marshmallows in the campfire and relaxing after a day of hiking. Only downside is hot warm doesn’t last and the bed isn’t as comfortable as I was hoping for

Beautiful Quaint Retreat

This bungalow gave us a magnificent view of the mountains surrounding Palmer. We could see the owners paid attention to detail in the construction and furnishings in the bungalow. We enjoyed the privacy of the location while have close access to Palmer and the surrounding area.

Exactly what I hoped for

I had a great experience here - the bungalow was the epitome of cozy, stylish and well-furnished, including a nice comfy bed. It was great to just hunker down in the bungalow after a busy day and enjoy the view. Instructions and rules are fair and well-communicated, and there were even some delicious complimentary blueberry muffins waiting for me in the fridge! The shower does have pretty limited heat, but it’s hardly a deal-breaker; just gotta wash-up quickly. Definitely recommend this property, and I might even try to stay here again during my next trip to AK.

The view is amazing and the bungalow is so cute and cozy. The only downside is that you have to take a short shower because the hot water runs out within 15 minutes. Otherwise, this place is wonderful. It's the perfect getaway.

A mini honeymoon in the mountains

I stayed here the weekend that I got married and I have to say these little bungalows are straight out of a romance novel. The gorgeous inescapable 180 degrees of mountain views that opens up from the front of the cabin can not be had anywhere else on earth to The cozy bed that you never wanted to leave. My favorite moments were cuddled up with a cup of coffee spending time with my husband and watching the mountains outside the side window. The kitchenette was so convienient as I was able to cook most of the meals for our stay. And at night we sat by the fire pit under the sky. I couldn’t imagine any better way to spend the first weekend with my husband on our journey through life. Thank you
