McKinley Birch Bed and Breakfast

MichelleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Russ and Glenda were the warmest host ever. Felt like we went back to our grandparent’s home. Super welcoming. Though we only stayed 1 night, they made sure we felt right at home. Sharing conversations and experiences; allowing us to use the shared kitchen. The attic on the 2nd floor has no door; so the room is just up the stairs. Having said that, they gave us our privacy and space. Glenda also provided breakfast and fruit salad for us. We were grateful and thankful for staying in such a beautiful home.

The open door reveals a small deck with a covered gas grill against a backdrop of lush, green foliage. A floral welcome mat lies on the floor, complementing the natural wood trim and warm interior lighting.

Great place to stay and perfect location, right downtown near everything you want to see in Palmer. I liked that it was a walkable area and close to all of the get-togethers for my 40 year class reunion. The room was clean, comfortable and private and I very much appreciated having my own bathroom. I would stay here again for sure.

Between a river and a mountain!

LinglinRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a wonderful stay! The host showed such warm hospitality and made us feel truly welcome. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The property is beautifully located right next to the Knik River — peaceful, scenic, and refreshing. One of the highlights of our visit was being invited to explore a special waterfall trail right behind the house — a hidden gem we wouldn’t have found otherwise. In front of the house, we also enjoyed a relaxing walk along the river. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, nature-filled getaway with a gracious host!
