Welcome to Alaska's Harvest B&B!

We've been enjoying this amazing beauty for over 35 years! The kids are grown and we are pleased to share our home with you. Here, in Palmer, 45 minutes north of Anchorage, we are the perfect location to be your homebase while you enjoy the many nearby 'must-do/see' sites. Minutes away you can visit the Reindeer Farm, Musk Ox Farm, Independence Gold Mine, Hatcher Pass, horseback rides, ATV adventures, Knik and Matanuska Glaciers and beauty in every direction. You will love this area!

We have plenty of space for your group or family to spread out. WELL BEHAVED older chidlren are welcome. Our home is NOT suitable for infants or younger children. This is not a hotel, it is our home and other guests expect a quiet, peaceful stay. With 6 B&B rooms in our large home (each with a private bath and kitchenette), additional bunk area shown on the walk-through video, sleeps 7, and a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath luxury log cabin on the property, we are conveniently located only 2 miles out of Palmer, on a beautifully wooded 15 acres with peaceful walking trails, a barn with the Shetland sheep we raise, and the moose who meander through our yard. The most incredible thing we have to offer is the spectacular view of the surrounding mountains. Featured on our opening page is just part of our view! Enjoy!
