Perfect Quaint Alaska Getaway
We had an incredible stay at the Roaming Iris for our elopement in Alaska. Everything was as described, if not better. The cabin was spotless, beautifully decorated, and fully stocked with everything you could need. The location was perfect-close to Wasilla and Palmer with great restaurants, cafes, and activities. The host was extremely responsive and thoughtful. It’s clear that they truly care about their guests’ experience. We could absolutely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well appointed place to stay. A true hidden gem!

Had a great stay in a cozy cabin! Perfect distance from town. Took a minute to figure out hot water in shower but otherwise, very nice.
