I really enjoyed staying at this property. It exceeded my expectations for amenities, cleanliness, and location. Was here to visit my daughter who lives in Palmer and got to cook her a couple of meals in the great kitchen space. The living area, bathroom, and bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again!
