Alaska Backcountry Cottages

Hands down the best vacation of our lives. This is our 3rd time back to Alaska, our 1st time staying on land. We stayed at the cottages for 3 nights with my parents who are in their 70's and it couldn't have been more perfect. The cottages we chose had an upstairs which was great for my hubby and I and a downstairs bedroom for my parents. Everything was up to date with a country cottage feel to it. Lots of little touches that made it feel like home. The washer/dryer were great after our ATV adventure to clean-up. We loved sitting on the front porch and enjoying what nature has to offer, as well. THANK YOU for the greatest time ever. We boarded a cruise ship after leaving you and while it was fun, our time on land was the BEST. We're already planning our next trip back to try out another cabin and ATV tours. If you're looking for that diamond in the rough, here it is, folks. Only it's not so rough.

Just finished a two night stay at the forget-me-not cottage. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, blinds that shut out light at every window completely. (Important with Alaska Summers), And beautiful view of the mountains. Additionally, we took advantage of nearby attractions – we did a four hour ATV tour – had a blast! And then the following day did a 2.5 hour helicopter ride – landing on a glacier! Both of these attractions offered a 10% discount when staying at these cottages. Located less than an hour from Anchorage, it was the perfect ending to our cruise Vacation… A perfect way to decompress and get in a few more fun Alaska activities!

The Forget Me Not cabin was great-spacious (two queen beds), well appointed, clean and stocked with breakfast foods. Really nice view of the mountains from the front deck! It was fun to watch the helicopters come and go. Would stay here again and recommend it to others.

What a perfect cottage for our first few nights in Alaska. The mountain views are breathtaking and we enjoyed the patio chairs to take in the scenery. We felt like we were alone, despite the other cottages being occupied. Linda was super responsive when we reached out with questions. The cottage was very clean and decorated perfectly. The beds were also very comfortable. We also booked a side by side tour during our stay, which was amazing. It was so nice being on site and just a few steps away from the meeting place for the tour. The cottage was also stocked with water, coffee, snacks, and breakfast items, which was extremely helpful. They also have a keurig machine for coffee. We will be back next time we visit Alaska.

I have been to Palmer a few times and the Alaska Backcountry Cottages are by far the best place we have stayed. The cabins was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The staff was attentive and friendly. They even took the time to stack a few groceries for us. We will definitely be back.

Cannot recommend this place enough!! Austin was an amazing guide on our all day tour! They took care of EVERYTHING!! We may not have had the best weather but we saw Alaska's amazing beauty! We also enjoyed staying in their cabins...once again they thought of everything!!

When my friend and I started to research our trip we stumbled upon this gem. The cottage was perfect ... in a location that was outside of the city. We enjoyed our stay and would encourage friends that may visit Alaska to stay here. They were very attentive if something was needed, they even provide some items in the kitchen for breakfast. It is perfectly nestled between some of the most beautiful scenery that Alaska has to offer in Palmer. If you are looking for adventure you can book on an ATV excursion or take a helicopter ride. If these adventures are not your thing that is perfectly ok also .. you can go north towards Denali, south towards Seward or East towards Glenallen. There are plenty of places to enjoy everthing Alaska has to offer within driving distance. We even were lucky to see a bull moose not far from the property!

Great, very nice, perfectly equipped cottage include basic groceries , roomy, convinience. Linda was available to support. Highly recommend. Many thanks.

This place is very beautiful on a grand scale. My wife and I visited from very scenic Hawaii therefor it says a lot. We are definitely staying here again on any future visits to Alaska.

These cottages are incredible! I did an atv tour to the Knick Glacier with Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours and afternoon stayed in there new cottages. The view from the porch is spectacular! Dan and Matti are awesome hosts. The booking was super easy and they were all ready when I arrived. These cottages are brand new and very clean. They even had a washer and dryer in the unit I stayed. If your visiting Anchorage make the short drive to Palmer and stay here. Also book an adventure with Alaska Backcountry Adventure Tours. The tour to the glacier is a must. Highly recommend.

We were lucky enough to be guests at Backcountry Cottages. Matti and family are amazing hosts. They gave us great local alternative dining recommendations. The cabins are fresh, clean and stylish. Out our window this morning was a moose. Before dinner we had a neighbor guest arrive by helicopter. What a site. We'll be back, Thank you Matti!.

Our group stayed at these cottages for 4 nights, we rented Pine and Forget Me Not. Both were exceptional. The interiors were spotless, pre stocked with some morning essentials and included pretty much everything we needed for our stay. Linda coordinated everything for us and did a great job, she made sure we knew how to get to the cabins, how to access the property and checked on us to make sure we made it in ok. My daughter also left one of her air pods behind and Linda and the housekeeper helped us find it and mailed it to us. Great job all around, great stay, exceptional service!

Great place to relax after an ATV Adventure Tour! Everything looks new in the house and it was spotless. Very comfortable beds. Check in and out was also easy. Highly recommend!

I love staying at Backcountry Cottages. The view is spectacular of the mountains all around.I stayed in many b&bs hotels this summer all over the US from Georgia Indiana Washington and all the states in between traveling and being back in Alaska with Backcountry Cottages was one of the best experiences I had had all summer. I highly recommend anyone who's looking for a place to stay for their vacation the hosts Linda and Rob are very accommodating. I just needed a place to relax and chill out away from all the hustle and bustle and commune with nature and God this place certainly fulfilled my needs.

Very nice! Very clean! Very comfy. People who work here are very friendly. The laundry facilities are brand new. Worth a five star rating.
