About this property

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

Go north to the future and back in time! Welcome to Downtown Palmer's 5-star "Night in Another Time" experience! Specially designed for the Sci-Fi, movie, or history buffs in your life, this imaginative museum will fire your imagination and thrill your kids. The mountain view is spectacular, the grounds are delightful and the downtown location is ideal for walking. The entire upstairs level of the house is yours to enjoy as each room is modeled on a different era from famous time travel movies. There are plenty of games and activities for rainy days, too! There are 2 bedrooms with private baths that sleep up to 5 adults. An excellent self-serve breakfast features "Hill Valley Breakfast Sandwiches" and "Clara's Souffles." A former Walt Disney Imagineer lovingly designed these rooms to give you an unforgettable and informative experience. Please enjoy the garden and the Stargate Treehouse, too. There is an orientation video.

Things you'll see: 1) The Luggage Lift is a little amusement ride for your suitcases - it will lift your wheeled luggage to the 2nd floor in style.

2) The 1950s Paradox Parlor presents the story of The Twelve Monkeys SyFy series. Your hostess busses and resets the breakfast table every day. (there is no kitchen sink in the guest quarters)

3) The Hill Valley Continuum is what the Victorian honeymoon suite of Doc Brown and Clara Clayton might have looked like in 1885. If you've never seen Back to the Future 3, this is the perfect place to do that.

4) The Multiverse is where many stories collide. There are two twin beds and a bonus bed. The universe is depicted on the ceiling, the stars glow in the dark and there are other mechanical wonders to amuse young travelers in this room. The Micro-verse (walk-in closet) can be transformed into a tiny bedroom with a 5'9" bed.

5)The hall bathroom (Quantum Realm) has a step stool for small travelers and features displays about the Quantum Leap TV show.

6) The Stargate Treehouse is a fun little space to have tea and watch the birds. There is a heater. The swing can support a grown-up!

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!

Fun family getaway
The Time Traveler's B&B was the perfect place for a weekend away with my kids. We all enjoyed the sci-fi decor, breakfast, and movie selection. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a private breakfast room, there was a ton of space to relax in. Bonus points for the backyard swing set and tree house!

Short stay but great!
We just overnighted but it’s such an adorable little find. You could spend a whole day there reading all the cool stuff Carol has done or exploring the various movie rooms and seeing something new.

A great spot for rest and intrigue
One of our favorite parts of staying at the time travelers B&B was the breakfast selection. The freezer and the refrigerator were fully stocked and we even had fresh baked cookies to welcome us on our first day. The kids loved to explore the backyard, and we all thought that the treehouse was super cool! All of the inside decor was so unique, and we enjoyed reading a lot about time travel. The kids especially loved the luggage lift. It was a great spot to rest after exploring all day. We all slept great! The only downfall was there was not a large shared space for the four of us to watch a movie together, but just for a couple days, we made it work and it was okay. The host was super responsive, and that was greatly appreciated! Laundry worked great. Plenty of hot water.
