    We had a great stay at Tailrace. The beds are super comfortable and the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with anything we could have needed for coffee, cooking, and baking. We were welcomed with fresh bread from Sherry which was greatly appreciated. Palmer is a neat little town-- we enjoyed excellent coffee at Alauda Coffee House in the upstairs of Poppy Lane, which had great gift and souvenir shopping, and a tasty lunch at Turkey Red. It was an easy drive from the house back down to Anchorage and to stunning hikes in the Chugach, Hatcher Pass, and along the Knik River. The house is a duplex and this listing is for one of the units (which wasn't clear to us when we made our reservation.) The other unit seems to have long-term renters who were very nice the few times we saw them and the rental still feels very private, but as two women who both often travel alone we did want to note this info for other potential renters.

    Very clean, plenty supplies and other stuff such as coffee and high quality. Really enjoyed staying in the lovely house. The location of the house is very close to all hikes we were interested in.

    Dennis, thank you for all you did for us. You were a gracious host. The cabin was clean and beautiful. The beds were very comfortable and the blackout blinds worked very well with the midnight sun. Your location to Palmer and Wasilla was very convenient. And having the brochures of activities of the area was amazing. We were able to go to the reindeer farm which enabled us to created great memories. We also were able to find gluten free restaurants in the area.The cabin was so inviting when we returned from our outings. All we wanted to do is turned on the fireplace and curl up on the sofa to relax. It was very peaceful and all we heard was nature all around us. I would recommend your cabin to anyone. It was the cherry on top that provided us an amazing experience of Alaska.Thank you,Ruben and Maria

    Amazing! Nicer than expected. The host thought of everything. The place was well appointed and the high quality. If I ever get to come back, I hope this space will be available!

    Wonderful property. We loved the location for activities in the state park and Palmer. Just a short drive to Anchorage. We had a bear come up on the back deck!

    Beautiful property, even better than we thought it would be! Decorating is amazing, beds and pillows were so comfortable, lovely decks with serene views. We used this as our home away from home to take in Alaska from Seward to Denali. Dennis was very accommodating and made check in, the 12 day stay and check out so easy

    Dennis and Sherry really made us feel welcome! After staying in hotels for a couple of days, this VRBO was such a relief! The washer/dryer and kitchen amenities were great! This place was cozy and well located for hiking and recreation! We would absolutely stay here again!
