Would highly recommend staying at Alaska Creekside! The house has an epic picturesque view of Pioneer Peak, was impeccably clean and well-stocked with any essentials needed, and the property overall is peaceful, relaxing, and cozy- everything you could ask for in an Alaskan getaway. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Mike, we are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We hope to host you again in the future.
The property owner was wonderful to work with. The home was very clean and everything the pictures showed. The property owner even left us with a basket full of Alaska goodies and a gift for our daughter who just graduated from high school.

Our stay at the Creekside Oasis was wonderful! It came with everything a person could possibly want or need. The setting is very quiet and the view is magnificent! Having such considerate hosts was an additional positive factor.
The cabin was the perfect place for me and my traveling companion to finish our trip to Alaska. Our host provided a great welcome basket and many thoughtful touches throughout the house that made it feel immediately like home. Beautiful location just an hour from Anchorage airport. Thanks for making it available!

Really enjoyed the stay, Teri was quick with responses and friendly, the place was well stocked and clean came from Vegas so enjoyed the yard to walk around in and the Mountain View’s. Only thing that wasn’t my favorite was the mattresses were hard in our opinion but wasn’t a huge deal we managed we would definitely stay here again! Thanks Teri :)
Wonderful place for our family! It had enough room for our family of 6 (kids 13, 7, 22mo x2) and had everything you need for a simple, cozy experience. And the yard is perfect for kids. We like to adventure during the day and have free time at night, and that is exactly what the property allowed. Not to mention the picture perfect mountain view through the bay windows. Hope to visit again!

We travel to the Palmer/Wasilla area from Fairbanks fairly frequently for BJJ and wrestling, and have stayed at a good amount of houses in the area. This one was nice and had a great yard. The kids liked the board games and balls. We would stay again.

Beautifully maintained, with many ammenities & welcoming hosts. Comfortable beds, full kitchen for everything from snacking to full cooking if you have a bigger family. Even a washer & dryer. Flowers & carpet of lawn, not to mention Alaska's favorite mountains. Easy 20 minute to Palmer from this historic log cabin.

Lana, thank you for the wonderful review! We hope to host you again in the future.
After six weeks away from our home in Georgia traveling in a very small RV, we were delighted to find this “home away from home” which allowed us to rest and recharge before continuing our trip. This cabin was perfect. We couldn’t take our eyes off the beautiful mountain framed by the large front window.
We had everything we needed for a relaxing, quiet stay. Teri even provided wonderful snacks and Keurig pods.
We will always remember our time here.
Teri and Paula have created an oasis for rest and relaxation. We made all our meals in the well appointed kitchen and slept late in the peaceful surroundings; room darkening shades might have helped too!
Enjoyed seeing Bodenburg Butte out the other front window; oh and there’s a nice selection of Alaska books to enjoy.
Great hosts, great house!!

We grew up in the Butte and were lucky enough to build a home and raise our family here. Our family loves the outdoors and all that Alaska has to offer, from fishing to flying and everything in between.
