Beautiful Butte BNB 1-bedroom apartment in fantastic Palmer with WiFi.

10/10 Excellent
"This was a very nice room on the owner's property. It had a gorgeous view out of the bedroom window of the mountains. Everything was very clean and fresh. I am a handicapped person (not wheelchair) so it was important to me that this room was ground level with one step into the room from outside. The host was very prompt to answer any questions and work with me on an issue VRBO was having."
