Cheerful home surrounded by gorgeous views

Beautiful home nestled in a closed-circuit rural-suburban hybrid neighborhood, one of the most magnificent walks ever. Can easily walk to farms. Located in the scenic Mat-Su Valley, central to many of Alaska's best attractions. Only eight minutes from DT Palmer and 15 from Hatcher Pass / skiing! Family ready, take in an epic 3-side mountain view, even from the living room! Let this be the home-base from which you venture into the Last Frontier...
The space
Upstairs:

Enjoy couched seating for six in a living area with an awesome view of the local mountain ranges. Close the light-blocking shades and behold your favorite media on a 4k 55" Roku SmartTV. Relax in the master bedroom which includes a king-sized bed, the secondary bedroom with a queen-sized bed, or the kids' room with two twin-sized beds, a crib, and a changing table.

Huge back yard with a hill topped with raspberry bushes and a fire pit. Looking up past the crown of the house from atop the hill will take your breath away.

BBQ on the deck with a table and couple-chair set.

For our younger guests, toys and books for children and youth are provided with a decent variety of board games.

Downstairs:

The space contains one bedroom, one living area, a full bathroom, and a unique garage setup we call the Garage-Lounge.

The bedroom comes with a Queen bed (clothing storage at the foot of the bed), a closet with hangers, a 54 inch 4K HD Roku TV, and an electric fireplace. The television works nicely with a few missing / white pixels near the top of the screen. The fireplace is mainly for aesthetic and, though functionally hot, not necessary to keep the room / suite warm.

The living space contains the futon (which extends into a twin sized sleeping area), a dining space with a table and four chairs, and a full kitchen. Also available for use are an air fryer, toaster, microwave, stove, refrigerator (with freezer), coffee with coffeemaker, and more.

The bathroom has a washer and dryer and a large bathtub / shower.

The Garage-Lounge contains two reclining chairs and a small shared side table for drinks or small items. Ideally, you could lounge in the garage with the door open (during late Spring and Summer only) and enjoy being outside without actually being "outside". The garage is not used for vehicle storage and air quality is decent with the door open. We only ask that if it's raining, snowing, or windy that the garage door remain closed.
Guest access
Guests have access to the main floor of the house via keypad entry at the front door, or through keypad entry via the garage. To access the bottom floor, guest can enter via keypad at the righthand garage door or through the main entrance.
Other things to note
6 minutes from The Musk Ox Farm, 16 minutes from the Reindeer Farm, 8 minutes from DT Palmer / State Fair, 12 minutes to Palmer Golf Course, 15 minutes to Hatcher Pass + more!

Very close to most attractions in palmer
The house is located in good neighbourhood, plenty of games were kept in house which kept the kids engaged. Reindeer farm ,musk ox farms are pretty close. We enjoyed the walks in the neighbourhood. The host is very responsive and easy to communicate with. All toiletteries, towels and blankets were provided. They had this baby room too, which would be helpful for families with infants. Quality of beds/mattresses could have been better, they were too springy/bouncy.

Near Hatcher's Pass
The house is in a quiet neighborhood and near some sights we wanted to see on Hatcher's Pass. It's spacious and clean and had some great views from the living room window. The host was super responsive and helpful. Although the listing says there's an oven, the instructions said, "DO NOT use the oven." We rent houses because we like to fix our own meals, but without an oven we had to make a change in our meal plan and a trip to the grocery store. Other than that it was a great place to stay.

Family adventure vacation
This was our first family adventure vacation and the house worked out great. Everything was clean and well cared for. It felt very comfortable and like a home away from home.
