Great stay with awesome host. Bathroom was the cherry on top. So fun for all of us in a very quiet secluded location with views to dream about. Such a great place for our thanksgiving staycation!
We were in the Palmer area for hockey tournament and rented this house for a couple of the families. Check-in was very easy and the home was very clean. The host was extremely accommodating for our group. I recommend this property to any large group that is looking for large spaces and beautiful views. I will definitely be saving it for future stays in the area.
This is a great home and well equipped for a large group. Beautiful home that is well equipped and has good amenities. The beds and pillows (which are normally tough for me) are so comfortable!
Location is very convenient to all the Matanuska Valley activities but gives you a great feeling of being in the Alaskan nature with privacy. Highly recommend!
There is absolutely nothing to complain about! This home is amazing with amazing views! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Ricky and Terri were so accommodating! I definitely recommend booking a stay! We will certainly be back!
Roomy and comfy for our group, beautiful views with very few homes around. Responsive hosts when we had questions. Spectacular master bathroom. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Minimalist home that easily accommodated our family of four. The shared space would have been more usable with additional lights and furniture. Woodstove was great for warmth and brightened dark evenings and mornings. Town of Palmer was an easy drive.
We came up for a family vacation and to visit friends who live in the area. The house was perfect for us with a large kitchen and gathering area. We enjoyed big family breakfasts with a beautiful view. The property owner, Rick-was onsite in a small cabin so we were able to visit with him and would have loved to spend more time with him. We drove to Denali for a day-spent a day in Talkeetna, did a day in Anchorage and Friday Fling in Palmer- just so much to see and do with beauty surrounding in every direction. Now off to Kenai for us
The Lazy Mountain Cabin was a beautiful place for us to hold our family reunion. Quiet, spacious, classy, well-maintained, and location was perfect! We will definitely be back!
This home is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect getaway place for our girls trip. It had plenty of room for us to relax . The location is a short distance from Hatchers Pass where we spent a great deal of time hiking.We will put this on our favorites list and stay here for future visits to Palmer. Thank you for sharing your home with us we did not want to leave.
A beautiful house with beautiful amenities! We had a wonderful 10 days at the Lazy Mountain View. We had no issues and the caretaker was available if we needed anything. This house will not disappoint! Thank you Ricky and Terri for your exceptional hospitality!
The home is very lovely and comfortable. A quiet area with gorgeous views. The owners and manager are very responsive to any questions. We had four couples with plenty of room.
The house is beautiful, well equipped, and we loved the wood burning stove in the main room to enjoy a relaxing evening by the fire. The hosts are GREAT and very responsive. This is a 5 star VRBO. The views are fantastic as long as the weather permits you to see it. Even if the weather is not so good, it is a wonderful place to stay.
Jack was an Awesome host and their Home was amazing!! Definitely recommend and will rebook for future events. Thank you Jack for allowing my family and I the opportunity to create memories in your beautiful home.

Beautiful cabin home in a quiet neighborhood. We were able to sit and enjoy coffee and visit with the gorgeous view of the mountains out the front window. House was very clean with amazing upscale bathrooms. Ricky was great to communicate with and offered many suggestions for things to do and restaurants in the area. Would definitely stay here again.
