Everything was great from booking to check out. Stephanie was very responsive and helpful with all our questions. The property is beautiful, exactly as described and pictured in the listing - a definite must stay when in the Palmer area!
We stayed at Revival Acres for our Alaska elopement and it was perfect! The location, scenery, and house were everything we were looking for. The property was clean and the host was very responsive and accommodating. I would recommend it to anyone and would love to stay again in the future.
This is an unbelievably beautiful property and location, it had everything we could have wanted/needed for our one-week stay. It exceeded our expectations. What a dream!
Amazingly cute colony home, great location. We 100% recommend this house for your stay in Alaska. Everything was spotless, owner communication fantastic, and we had such a relaxing time. You won’t believe the views out the front windows; just stunning!
We absolutely loved this home! We were in Alaska for 2 nights to do an atv tour and horse back riding tour of the Knix glacier/valley. The location of this home was perfect and we loved the small town/ country feel. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. We would love to come back and explore more of the Palmer/Butte area.
We really enjoyed our stay here and wished we could have stayed longer. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything needed to make it feel like home. The house was immaculate, and the beds were comfy. We appreciated the outdoor games! The scenery was so beautiful that I didn't mind losing to my teen in a game of bags.
This was the perfect cozy house for our family for 5 nights while we explored the area. We enjoyed waking up to the breathtaking views each morning. The house was well-stocked for our home-cooked meals. After a busy day of hiking and exploring, the home was perfect for sipping tea and relaxing. Stephanie was very quick to respond and even reached out to check on us when there was a short local power outage. It was by far one of our favorite places. Would highly recommend staying here!
This was a come back trip. We had visited Alaska 29 years ago and had such a wonderful time we had to come back. This time our own timeline. This property was a fantastic start to our trip, great location, view and accomodations. We didnt want to leave but knew more fun was in store! Would come back here in a heart beat!
A warm, cozy farmhouse with breathtaking mountain views. Just a short walk to Mirror Lake, where you can swim, kayak, or paddle board. Peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
Adorable property, amazing views, quiet, well equipped! The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of dishes, and effective blackout blinds against the midnight sun. Friendly and responsive host!
We really enjoyed our couple days stay at the cottage. This house is fully equipped with everything you could need during your stay. We loved the location, the view and the ease of communication with the host. Highly recommend!
Our family especially appreciated how thoughtfully stocked the house was, with added special touches! The hosts clearly take pride in being accommodating. The location was peaceful and the view outstanding!
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home. It was meticulously cleaned and so many nice touches. Gorgeous property and views. The host was so accommodating and even provided an air mattress for one of our teens. A++
This place was perfect for me and my husband on our honeymoon . So cozy , and welcoming . The hosts were very attentive and helpful . We will cherish these memories forever .
Went up to Alaska for a few days to get away. This was a cozy retreat off the beaten path and was very easy to access. It was an awesome property and quiet. Highly recommend. Will definitely be coming back.
This was the second time my family and I stayed here and it was just as great as the first time. We have nothing but great experiences staying here and will always recommend staying here to others.
This property was perfect for a several day trip to Palmer. The house was charming, cozy and had everything you could want for a home away from home. Bedrooms were comfortable and kitchen was a delight to cook in. Close to many fun attractions, including the Reindeer Farm, Musk Ox Farm and hiking trails. And the views of Pioneer Peak and the Butte were fantastic. Looking forward to staying there again on our next visit to Palmer.
This is a beautiful property. The views are amazing and the remodel of the historic home was really well done. We were in Palmer for work, and it was such a treat to come home to this bright, clean and airy house after a long day. It is a nice place to relax and also well located for activities - yet a bit off the beaten path and away from the busynessof town. The hosts were responseful and very helpful and accommodating.
