Top Thunderbird Falls Hotel Reviews

The Wildbirch Hotel - JDV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful thanks !"

Alaska's Select Inn Wasilla

8/10 Good

"The main reason we booked here was because (at least in the Family Room that we booked), it has a full kitchen (with electric 2-burner flat cooktop), large sink, microwave, and full fridge/freezer. Great if you have a family and/or allergies that require homemade meal prep, and an area to refrigerate, freeze, reheat meals. It does have some dishes, dish soap, and a dishwasher as well if you needed. The room was freshly remodeled and very clean, although the sleeper sofa could maybe use a good shampoo/cleaning because it did have a few stains on the cushions and arms. The location backs up to a busy road, so it can be a bit noisy, but seemed to quiet down pretty well at night. The walls/floors are a bit thin. You can hear doors slam, people talking below, etc., but we stayed in the winter, so it wasn’t super full/busy. The beds are pretty comfortable (not too firm, yet still supportive). The TV Remote needs to be programmed so the volume can be changed using the remote. Overall, it was a good stay. The office lady was very nice and informative. We would definitely stay again, because not many hotels offer full kitchens in freshly updated rooms at this affordable price point, and in the location we were looking for."

Big Lake Cabin 1 Hot Tub, Sauna & Watercraft Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely amazing stay in Big Lake! The property was wonderful and provided the perfect setting for a relaxing and memorable getaway. Kim was a fantastic host! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, making everything so easy and stress-free. We truly appreciated her hospitality and the care put into the property. Our stay was everything we hoped for and more! We would absolutely recommend Kim’s property to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay in Big Lake. We are already going through the calendar to see when we can return!"

Cozy riverfront retreat with HOT TUB! Just 5 minutes from downtown Palmer.

10/10 Excellent

"We travel often and this is one of our Top 5 places we’ve stayed to date. The location is PRIME and the cabin itself is absolutely perfect. It is stocked with everything we needed for our week’s stay. The views from straight from the sofa make you want to stay right there the whole trip, but after a long day of trails and hiking, the hot tub was the real treat! The host is extremely friendly and easy to connect with for anything that’s needed. We will definitely be back to stay on our next trip next summer."
