The Pioneer Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This motel looks simple and unassuming on the outside, but is very nicely updated on the inside with many thoughtful touches. We only needed a room for one night, but this place would be pleasant for a longer stay. There’s a Fred Meyer a 1/2 mile away, 2 fuel stations next door and across the street - and that one has a very nice convenience store, too. Motel is just off the Glen Highway. Recommend this place!"

Alaska's Select Inn Wasilla

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was well maintained with more than adequate parking and easy entry points regardless of your room location. The room was spacious with a large sofa, TV and bed. The kitchen had a large microwave, full size fridge, a small heating/cooking area and a dishwasher. Everything was "like new", clean and fully functional. The location was central with easy access to various parts of Wasilla and connecting highways via two main roads. It's my go to spot for my next stay in Wasilla."

Snowgoose Pond Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"The owners are very lovely, welcoming and informative. The house is beautifully decorated and the grounds are lovely with a pond you can kayak. The breakfast was homemade with love, delicious and plentiful. Wild blueberry pancakes and homemade gravy with biscuits and scrambled eggs stirred to perfection. My husband and I would highly recommend. Beautiful area to hike and explore. Loved Hatcher’s Pass and Matanuska glacier."

StoryHaus Alaska - Gathering Retreat for Groups & Families

10/10 Excellent

"Everything abut this place met our expectations. AJ and his wife went above and beyond to keep us informed throughout the stay. Everything in the home were well thought of and perfectly placed and the entire family was very pleased with this stay.We highly recommend this home for large groups and we ourselves will plan to go back again in future."

Spacious Lodge in Charming Palmer with Incredible Mountain Views

10/10 Excellent

"The location was centrally located for the activities we had planned. The place was clean, well stocked, and had plenty of space for our group of 12. The deck was a great place to gather in the evening. The host was very responsive to any questions. We would happily stay here again."
