Mountain-View Retreat: Pond, Kayaks, Fire Pit, Hot Tub – Palmer, Alaska
Welcome to Your Home Away From Home in Palmer, Alaska
Escape to comfort and adventure at our spacious and inviting 4-bedroom home nestled in the scenic beauty of Lazy Mountain in Palmer. Perfect for families, couples, or friends traveling together, this home offers stunning views, cozy amenities, and easy access to some of Alaska’s best outdoor experiences.
Inside, you’ll find four beautifully furnished bedrooms:
The primary suite features a king bed and a private bathroom with a luxurious jetted tub and walk-in shower.
Two additional bedrooms each have a comfortable queen bed, and the fourth bedroom includes a double bed — ideal for children or a solo traveler.
Three bathrooms throughout the home offer plenty of space, with walk-in showers and a full tub/shower combo.
There’s plenty of space to relax with large, comfy couches in the living area, perfect for lounging after a day of adventure. Need room for more guests? We also provide a queen-sized inflatable bed for flexible sleeping arrangements.
Stay warm and comfortable year-round with radiant in-floor heating throughout the entire home — no matter where you are, you’ll be cozy.
Enjoy evenings by the double-sided wood-burning fireplace inside, or gather around the outdoor fire pit under the stars. The property features a five-acre pond, perfect for paddling in the pedal boat or sit-on-top kayaks we provide — all while taking in breathtaking views of the Chugach and Talkeetna Mountain Ranges. At the end of the day enjoy a soak in the hot tub while enjoying the midnight sun in the summer or the northern lights on a crisp winter night.
For the chefs in your group, the kitchen is fully equipped with a glass cooktop, two convection ovens, and plenty of space to cook up something special. Prefer dining out? You’re just a 10-minute drive to downtown Palmer, where you'll find great restaurants, breweries, and live music most nights.
Adventure is just outside your door:
Hiking: Lazy Mountain, Pioneer Peak, Matanuska Peak, The Butte, and the Matanuska River Trail — all within 10 minutes.
Fishing: Try for King or Silver salmon at Jim Creek or the Eklutna Tailrace, or explore nearby lakes stocked with rainbow trout, Arctic char, and landlocked salmon.
ATV Trails: The Knik River area offers some of the best off-road adventures in Southcentral Alaska.
Whether you’re planning a peaceful retreat, an outdoor adventure, or a bit of both, our home offers the perfect base. We're happy to provide local tips and answer any questions during your stay — we live in a separate building on the same spacious 10-acre property, so we're nearby if you need anything but always respect your privacy.

This 4 bedroom home is a great getaway for making family memories. The kitchen and living and dining rooms are spacious and open for good comfort and the large back patio and nearby lake are great additions to enjoy.
Unbelievable property. Very spacious and open. Randy was a perfect host to my family and I. We have 2 little kids and our son absolutely loved running around outside. We saw moose on multiple occasions. Would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone.
Incredible host and hostess! Great place for family and friends. Four of us stayed there during my niece’s wedding week but had loads of family and friends over for dinner and relaxing. Would stay there again in a minute and have recommended it to friends and family.
