Cozy riverfront retreat with HOT TUB! Just 5 minutes from downtown Palmer.

Cozy riverfront retreat with HOT TUB! Just 5 minutes from downtown Palmer.

10/10 Excellent
"We travel often and this is one of our Top 5 places we’ve stayed to date. The location is PRIME and the cabin itself is absolutely perfect. It is stocked with everything we needed for our week’s stay. The views from straight from the sofa make you want to stay right there the whole trip, but after a long day of trails and hiking, the hot tub was the real treat! The host is extremely friendly and easy to connect with for anything that’s needed. We will definitely be back to stay on our next trip next summer."

Beautiful Butte BNB 1-bedroom apartment in fantastic Palmer with WiFi.

10/10 Excellent
"This was a very nice room on the owner's property. It had a gorgeous view out of the bedroom window of the mountains. Everything was very clean and fresh. I am a handicapped person (not wheelchair) so it was important to me that this room was ground level with one step into the room from outside. The host was very prompt to answer any questions and work with me on an issue VRBO was having."
