Step into a living museum where the future meets the past—and every moment is a cinematic adventure! Welcome to Palmer’s 5-star Time Travel Experience, the perfect escape for sci-fi enthusiasts, movie lovers, and curious minds of all ages.

Imagine waking up in a room inspired by your favorite time travel films, with panoramic mountain views, whimsical gardens, and a charming downtown just steps away. This extraordinary second-story suite is more than lodging—it is your private time machine, designed by a former Walt Disney Imagineer to spark joy, wonder, and nostalgia.

What Awaits You:

• An Era for Every Room – Travel from the Victorian West of Back to the Future 3 to the mind-bending world of Twelve Monkeys, then skip across the multiverse beneath glowing stars and mechanical marvels.

• Two Enchanting Bedrooms – Sleep up to five adults in beautifully themed rooms, each with a private bath. A secret Micro-verse hideaway offers a bonus bed for a truly tiny traveler.

• Rainy Day Fun – With games galore and immersive details everywhere, even a storm feels like part of the adventure.

Delicious Breakfasts with a Twist – Start your day with our famous “Hill Valley Breakfast Sandwiches” and “Clara’s Soufflés,” served in a 1950s dining parlor where your hostess resets the table with daily flair.

Whimsical Features to Discover:

• The Luggage Lift – A delightful mini ride that carries your bags to the upper level.

• The Paradox Parlor – A mid-century tribute to the strange tale of Twelve Monkeys.

• The Hill Valley Continuum – A Victorian honeymoon suite for Doc Brown and Clara fans.

• The Multiverse Room – With twin beds, a starry ceiling, and a convertible Micro-verse closet-bedroom.

• The Quantum Realm Bathroom – Kid-friendly, with a nod to Quantum Leap and a step stool for your littlest travelers.

• The Stargate Treehouse – Sip tea, swing, and stargaze in this backyard portal to another world.

Your visit begins with an orientation video to set the scene—and every detail from décor to daily care is infused with creativity and thoughtful design. Our cleaning ritual includes state-of-the-art UV sanitizing light, ensuring a safe, spotless experience.

Time is not linear here—it is magical. Are you ready to check in across the continuum?

Very much enjoyed our stay here. The owner has put a LOT of work in making this a unique and exciting place to stay. The movies themes base is very cool. As well, the property is very neat and well kept. The attention to detail and variety for breakfast is also outstanding. All in a quiet neighborhood, to boot. Wish we could have stayed for longer.

Time Traveler extraordinaire

We so enjoyed staying here and visiting with family. We did dig sledding and glacier tour thru Alaska Helicopter Tours. Visited glaciers thru Phillips Glacier tours in Whittier and drove to Talkeetna to try and see Denali. Such a great place to stay with fresh cookies every morning and “Tang” and lemonade in refrigerator! So many other things to do!

Absolutely amazing experience!

The Time Traveler's B&B was hands down the most fun and interesting stay we've had to date. We especially appreciated the Doctor Who decor as we're huge fans of the series.Our host graciously prepared coffee for us each morning as well as a wonderful variety of breakfast foods. Everything was comfy, clean and totally amazing. Thanks for such a great stay!

A Magical Stay at Time Traveler's B&B

My family and I were absolutely charmed by Time Traveler's B&B in downtown Palmer. Our overnight stay was brief, but the attention to detail, cozy beds, and thoughtful (and creative!) touches throughout the B&B made our experience a great one. It was a journey through time and imagination that we thoroughly enjoyed — thank you, Carol!

Carols home is amazing and very unique. The Parlor is a nice place to relax, have a bite to eat and enjoy the views. Carol stocks the fridge and freezer with a lovely variety of food for breakfast. We were quite full when we left and everything was delicious. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend a visit here.

Great stay

Carol’s attention to detail is top notch to make her place unique and fun! Although Carol lives downstairs, you won’t see her unless you need to….she is very responsive to any requests and the coffee and milk appears in the morning to add to the assortment of breakfast goodies! I’d stay here again. Walking distance to downtown Palmer shopping and restaurants. Beds are comfy

Not the usual ABNB!

Check in and check out where effortless. Carrol’s video is very informative and I watched it several times to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Spent three days, could’ve spent a week to read all the interesting items throughout the property. Fresh coffee every morning and goodies in the fridge and freezer were a welcome treat. I’ll go back with my wife next time we visit!

Magical Stay in Palmer

Carol Dorman has created an Unbelievable B&B in the Time Traveler’s B&B in Palmer,AK. The Charm and the Detail is on another level. A Guest steps back into time with a Back to the Future Theme….Wow!, I’m glad our stay was longer than a day, so we could really feel the Charm of the B&B. Wonderful Breakfast in the Paradox Parlor. The Views of the Nicely Appointed Backyard and the Closeness of Mt. Peak and the Palmer Airport. We Totally Enjoyed Our Stay and Would Highly Recommend the Time Traveler’s B&B. It’s a Stay You Won’t Forget in a Wonderful Way……

Unique Place with a good setup

Carol has put a lot of thought into this unique BandB. The 2nd B is for breakfast, which is all prepared and able to be microwaved or toasted in the little kitchenette. We didn't interact with Carol in person, but everything was ready when it should be. I did 4 stars for description, I was under the impression that the host lived in a separate building and not downstairs. This did not present any issues, but just should know before booking. Everything is clearly labeled and instructions are easy to find. Carol has a very strictly enforced no shoe policy, so if that's an issue for you (I have bad arches), then please take note and bring house slippers, or something. Would stay here again.

Carol’s magical B&B was spotless and cozy. The fridge was stocked with a variety of homemade snacks. Children and adults alike would enjoy exploring rooms of different themes on time travel from films and TV series. My young kid particularly loved the yard and her bed in the meticulously cleaned closet. We stayed there for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time.
