About this property

Go north to the future and back in time! Welcome to Downtown Palmer's 5-star "Night in Another Time" experience! Specially designed for the Sci-Fi, movie, or history buffs in your life, this imaginative museum will fire your imagination and thrill your kids. The mountain view is spectacular, the grounds are delightful and the downtown location is ideal for walking. The entire upstairs level of the house is yours to enjoy as each room is modeled on a different era from famous time travel movies. There are plenty of games and activities for rainy days, too! There are 2 bedrooms with private baths that sleep up to 5 adults. An excellent self-serve breakfast features "Hill Valley Breakfast Sandwiches" and "Clara's Souffles." A former Walt Disney Imagineer lovingly designed these rooms to give you an unforgettable and informative experience. Please enjoy the garden and the Stargate Treehouse, too. There is an orientation video.

Things you'll see: 1) The Luggage Lift is a little amusement ride for your suitcases - it will lift your wheeled luggage to the 2nd floor in style.

2) The 1950s Paradox Parlor presents the story of The Twelve Monkeys SyFy series. Your hostess busses and resets the breakfast table every day. (there is no kitchen sink in the guest quarters)

3) The Hill Valley Continuum is what the Victorian honeymoon suite of Doc Brown and Clara Clayton might have looked like in 1885. If you've never seen Back to the Future 3, this is the perfect place to do that.

4) The Multiverse is where many stories collide. There are two twin beds and a bonus bed. The universe is depicted on the ceiling, the stars glow in the dark and there are other mechanical wonders to amuse young travelers in this room. The Micro-verse (walk-in closet) can be transformed into a tiny bedroom with a 5'9" bed.

5)The hall bathroom (Quantum Realm) has a step stool for small travelers and features displays about the Quantum Leap TV show.

6) The Stargate Treehouse is a fun little space to have tea and watch the birds. There is a heater. The swing can support a grown-up!

A Magical Stay at Time Traveler's B&B

My family and I were absolutely charmed by Time Traveler's B&B in downtown Palmer. Our overnight stay was brief, but the attention to detail, cozy beds, and thoughtful (and creative!) touches throughout the B&B made our experience a great one. It was a journey through time and imagination that we thoroughly enjoyed — thank you, Carol!

Fun family getaway

The Time Traveler's B&B was the perfect place for a weekend away with my kids. We all enjoyed the sci-fi decor, breakfast, and movie selection. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a private breakfast room, there was a ton of space to relax in. Bonus points for the backyard swing set and tree house!

About the host

Hosted by Carol Dorman

Carol is a former Walt Disney Imagineer and Back to the Future 3 cast member among many other curious jobs over the years. She loves hosting sci-fi nerds and families with active imaginations!

Why they chose this property

Palmer is a small town and I have family members nearby. After 25 years in the entertainment industry, it was time for my "second act". Alaska gives residents a sense of time-warp every year with short winter days and long summer ones. I love the adventurous weather here!

What makes this property unique

This is a fascinating place in all seasons. There are little surprises to keep your brain running. What if? Use your imagination and enjoy your TIME here! I am currently working on the addition of a small tree house (bird observatory) in the back garden. Be sure to watch the orientation video and bring slippers if you have them.
