About this property

Unique & Imaginative: Time Traveler's B&B in Downtown Palmer

Journey Through Time in the Heart of Downtown Palmer!

Step into a living museum where the future meets the past—and every moment is a cinematic adventure! This is the perfect escape for sci-fi enthusiasts, movie lovers, and history buffs 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 four adults (plus 2 children) 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 Breakfast with a Twist – Start your day with a “Hill Valley Breakfast Sandwich” and one of “Clara’s Soufflés,” served in a 1950s dining parlor where your hostess clears the dishes. Food is stocked at the beginning of your stay to be sure your arrival is a happy one, and there's plenty for several days, depending on your appetite.

Whimsical Features to Discover:

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

•The Doctor's Landing - An assortment of memorabilia for Doctor Who fans.

• 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 a welcome video to help you make the most of your short stay. My cleaning ritual includes a state-of-the-art UV sanitizing light, ensuring a safe, 99% germ-free experience.

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.

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.

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!

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!
