Perfect Location and Accommo

I hesitate to share how perfect these villas are and how convenient to both Palmer and Wasilla because they may not be available when I return if readers believe my review and reserve a stay. :-) The truth is, we've stayed at many other venues in the Valley and none can hold a candle to Glacier Suites.

Great little home near Palmer

This was perfect for our 3 couples. House was clean comfortably. We are building something very similar in PA and loved seeing what it is like finished. Heated floor took a bit to heat but was very comfortably when heated. Loved it!

Visiting family in AK

My mom and I stayed here while visiting my sister and we loved it! The property was beautiful, very clean and the perfect quiet place to come back to every evening. The kitchen was fully stocked, washer/dryer were easily accessible and parking was easy. We will definitely be back!

Nice place

All good. Loved the house. The management is amazing. Only 2 things to improve: 1) need Tupperware and glasses (only acrylic ones) - 2) need to get the snow out of the entrance with more frequency.

Better than expected...

The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen and livingroom was very spacious and it was perfect for my family of 7 (plus our dog). It was nice to finally cook for my family instead of ordering in our eating out so we had everything we needed for a home cooked meal. Will definitely stay there again whenever we're in town.

Absolutely wonderful!

The house was exactly as listed-even better actually! It was immaculate and very modern! The layout was great and we loved that it had 2 full bathrooms. We were in Wasilla for our daughter’s volleyball and would definitely stay there again! We also told the teams families how awesome of a house it was, and that they should stay there if needed in the future! Thanks for helping to make our weekend an awesome experience!

A great Alaskan getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful-modern mountain home. The unit was well laid out, had all amenities and made for a great home to sleep after a day basking in the mountain wilderness that surrounds it in the Palmer area. Close to Hatcher Pass, Knik Glacier and Chugach. Very near Palmer where you find anything you need. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Great place - once you have the address

This unit is big and open; nicely decorated with all the amenities. The initial difficulty was that the address provided led to a neighboring cul-de-sac. (The manager was easily accessible but seems surprised that the address we were given was incorrect.) We greatly appreciated being able to part our RV in front of the building.
