Palmer, Alaska
Your home away from home! Colonist Camp @The Lodges on the Old Mountain Road offers luxury and convenience with amazing views. This newly built cabin, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, dining and 2 living areas is just 4 miles from the heart of historical Palmer. Enjoy Hatcher's pass, Knik Glacier and many more local adventures while being centrally located to Denali and the Kenai Peninsula. Come stay with us at the gateway of your next Alaskan adventure!
Nestled off the Old Glenn Highway this cabin shares acreage with our home and three other cabins.* Among manicured lawns and wild wood each cabin offers a semi-private outdoor area with a gas grill and firepit. If you're looking to adventure by foot the Matanuska River and paved walking/biking path are immediately across the street. Inside the cabin you will find 2 bedrooms with king beds, 2 queen sleeper sofas with memory foam mattresses, 2 full bathrooms with six foot soaker tubs, full kitchen-well stocked for cooking, dining area, cozy loft, and all the amenities that are sure to make your stay relaxing! Constructed with exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and superior craftsmanship you will be sure to get the feel of Alaska when you stay at The Lodges on the Old Mountain Road.
We invite guests to explore the wooded area immediately surrounding the cabins. Please be aware that moose and other wildlife (we have never seen a bear, thankfully!) do venture through the property quite often so please stay alert. Guests are also invited to use the grassy areas of the property with the understanding that we may be using them as well. We enjoy meeting and mingling with our guests so feel free to join us anytime!
Parking for 1 vehicle is available immediately in front of the cabin. There is a close parking area for additional vehicles. 2 vehicles are included in a reservation. If you will need additional parking please reach out for approval. No RV's
The cabin driveway enters and exits the Old Glenn Highway and there are only a few other houses nearby, which gives you a nice remote feeling with the every day conveniences of being close to town.
*We are excited to be constructing 3 more cabins on this property. We make an effort to limit active construction while we are hosting guests but you will see the buildings and area under construction.
We have a family with young kids who love to be outside. They are very respectful of boundaries and the cabin area but may occasionally be seen and/or heard in the backyard.
Feel free to stop by the main house at any time!
We have previously had this property listed on VRBO, and other sites, through a third party booking company. Unfortunately, when we decided to directly host our property we had to create a new listing and the reviews did not come with us. Here are some of the most recent reviews submitted to our previous listing.
"New, clean, well appointed property. Laundry is a bonus. Owner appears to be building a couple more cabins. Great consideration for large family travels." -Jeffery
"Gorgeous small cabin in a great location in Palmer! Great response time from host and very accommodating, with a very clean and quite cabin. Highly recommend!" -Amanda
"Amazing place to stay! We really enjoyed and highly recommend!"-Batsheva
"Our group consisted of 4 siblings + spouses on our trip and this cabin was perfect for what we were looking for. The cabin is brand new, its well built with tasteful finishings, comfortably slept all of us, and very clean. The amount of Airbnb’s that check all those boxes are slim picking in Anchorage/ Palmer area so we were glad to find this one.
Our group was there to visit a family member that lives in the area and to take in as much of Alaska as possible so we didn’t spend a lot of time in the cabin outside of a few meals, to sleep, and use as a launching point for Seward & Denali on various days.
Toni was a great host and was easy to reach and communicate with. She was also very accommodating in that we were allowed to have 2-3 vehicles on the property and were allowed to have day guests over for meals/ to meet up for hikes and stuff. You wouldn’t really want to try to put any more people than 8 adults overnight in that cabin.
They are building additional units on the property which will add some much needed great places to the AirB** inventory in Alaska.
Would recommend staying here and would stay again on a future trip!"

"This is a great house to stay in! It’s right near Palmer, lots of nearby activities and hikes and an hour drive from the matanuska glacier. The interior is beautiful and comfortable with historical touches. It’s hosted by a great family who are nearby and available for questions and suggestions. We would definitely stay here again!" -Christine
"We loved our stay at Toni & Ben's property! It is beautiful & in a great location. The home was very clean & well-stocked. The hosts were very accommodating with getting firewood for us to use in their fire pit & when my daughter left an item behind, Toni responded quickly & was able to locate the item which we picked up from her days later. We would highly recommend this property for your Alaskan trip!" -Dawn
Our accommodations were very comfortable for the four of us. (Two couples). Palmer was centrally located for the things we wanted to see in the area. Native Heritage Center/Hatcher’s Pass/ Alaskan Railroad. There were some nice trails locally also. All around enjoyable experience!
This was our very first time booking through VRBO - we are spoiled ! Such a beautiful spot and great location for first time Alaska visitors! We were looking for somewhere that had a king bed , laundry and space to spread out and relax at night. Toni has all these boxes checked and MORE ! Toni was very responsive to any email questions when preparing to arrive ! The property was quiet ! Which surprised us as the host has children!!! We love to see and hear kids playing so this would not have bothered us !!! Pristine property! If we plan a return trip to Alaska we will definitely stay here and we have already recommended this spot to friends ! Very happy couple from the East Coast !
Great place, would absolutely rent again. Very clean and well laid out. Very comfortable. 5 stars!.
It's in a good location & is a nice, clean place to stay.
House itself is beautifully done, very clean, has everything one needs to stay for a while. So much to do in the surrounding area! Hoping to make it back to Alaska and stay in the same place!
Loved everything about the cabin, our host, property, location, and amenities! We definitely recommend and will be coming back! Mexican place Froggy Daze kiosk in motel parking lot was great! Evangelos in Wasilla was phenomenal! The drive to Alaska Wildlife Conservation, Portage Glacier, and Whittier was a great day trip - a Must Do! Loved Talkeetna and Denali zip lines. Denali Hwy was a great two day drive!!
Enjoyed our stay. Place was great
The cabin was so clean and very nice. We loved are stay at the Millers and they were so helpful nd kind.
What a gem this property is! Perfectly maintained, clean and with all the extras. We really enjoyed staying here with our family of 6. Beds and linens were comfortable too! Highly recommend!
Very enjoyable!
This cabin was clean, with a great view and perfect location for our needs. The host was great and very accommodating. We hope to stay here again in the future.
This cabin retreat was our way to get out of town while visiting. The drive up Old Glenn is the most beautiful, and the view of the mountains from the cabin was the best! We especially enjoyed watching the leaves turn yellow and the snow appear in the mountains. Toni was good to us and we look forward to planning our next trip!
Absolutely beautiful! Wonderful stay!
Beautiful place in a beautiful setting
Great property and location. Toni was a great host and very friendly and accommodating. Made us feel very welcome. The place, amenities, and comfort was excellent. Beds were very comfortable. Centrally located for hiking and fishing. We would definitely stay there again.
The house was clean and well maintained. Toni was easy to deal with and was prompt to answer my questions. Palmer is just a short drive away for any of our supply needs so that was convenient. I wish we could have stayed longer to get to know the area.
Our stay here was wonderful! Very comfortable, clean and had everything we could have needed/wanted! The only glitch we had was not knowing how to get in to the property (the message with that info came after we no longer had cell service so we couldn't access it), so it took a little back and forth, but Toni was super quick to respond and help us get it straightened out. Great place to stay! Highly recommend!
Enjoyed a great stay for our first trip to Alaska.
Great place to stay. Close to all the trails and a super short drive to the downtown area. It’s the best place to stay when visiting south central Alaska.
