Alaskan Adventure Begins Here: Beautiful Creekside Oasis!

This quaint log home was built in Palmer, Alaska in 1950.


The log home sits on a large, landscaped yard with stunning views of Pioneer Peak and the Butte. The quiet peaceful setting along Bodenburg Creek provides a relaxing stay. If privacy is what you want, this is the place for you. The large yard is surrounded by trees, giving you the privacy you desire. The property is bordered by the creek on one side, watch for salmon headed to the spawning grounds beginning mid-August.

*You can hear the Alaska Raceway Park from the home. They run some Wednesday's and weekends throughout the summer months.

Palmer BJJ Fair Trip
We travel to the Palmer/Wasilla area from Fairbanks fairly frequently for BJJ and wrestling, and have stayed at a good amount of houses in the area. This one was nice and had a great yard. The kids liked the board games and balls. We would stay again.

Lovely place
Wonderful place for our family! It had enough room for our family of 6 (kids 13, 7, 22mo x2) and had everything you need for a simple, cozy experience. And the yard is perfect for kids. We like to adventure during the day and have free time at night, and that is exactly what the property allowed. Not to mention the picture perfect mountain view through the bay windows. Hope to visit again!

Felt like home
After six weeks away from our home in Georgia traveling in a very small RV, we were delighted to find this “home away from home” which allowed us to rest and recharge before continuing our trip. This cabin was perfect. We couldn’t take our eyes off the beautiful mountain framed by the large front window. We had everything we needed for a relaxing, quiet stay. Teri even provided wonderful snacks and Keurig pods. We will always remember our time here. Teri and Paula have created an oasis for rest and relaxation. We made all our meals in the well appointed kitchen and slept late in the peaceful surroundings; room darkening shades might have helped too! Enjoyed seeing Bodenburg Butte out the other front window; oh and there’s a nice selection of Alaska books to enjoy. Great hosts, great house!!
