Roxanne & Allen & family we met were very welcoming, cordial, helpful in answering our questions & telling us about the area. The facility was clean, very comfortable bed, & had all we needed in a homey atmosphere. Our only frustration was the poor communication between vrbo & Roxanne. We did not have her phone number or address & she thought vrbo gave that to us. Consequently we were in the middle of nowhere & had no idea how to contact Roxanne by phone & no address to follow. That was frustrating & made us wonder if vrbo was a scam.

Out of all the cabins and apartments that we rented in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Chena Hot Springs, Healy, and Seward, Roxanne’s cabin was the cleanest and most comfortable. We rented this cabin to be able to hike at the nearby Matanuska Glacier, which was my favorite activity in Alaska. Our guide on the glacier was wonderful & aware of everyone’s hiking ability. This cabin has all the necessary appliances in the kitchen and has beautiful views of the lake from almost every room in the cabin. The living room has an oversized leather chair that is extremely comfortable and a matching couch that is beyond comfortable. The bathroom is clean and functional. The reviewer who said to be sure and stock up on groceries, and gas was correct. We stopped at the one general store on Glenn Highway coming from Palmer. There were a few dry goods, such as macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes, but that was about it. We asked the cashier about gas stations traveling east, and she told us to turn around and go back to the one that we passed a few miles down the road. The owners live across the driveway, so you are expected to follow the rules and be respectful. I wish I had gotten there just a little bit earlier to have seen the trumpeter swan and her five babies on the beautiful lake in the back. I hope Roxanne has only respectful renters who are there to enjoy the splendor and magnificence of Alaska —in summer, not sure I have hutzpah to face winter.

This was a beautiful home on a beautiful property. The area it is in is pretty secluded, so make sure to bring food to cook with you for meals as there are not any options near by to eat or grab groceries.

5 star all the way! We had such a wonderful stay. We just wish we had more time! Allen and Roxanne Farmer were wonderful hosts. They were very knowledgeable, helpful, and very kind. The rental was just amazing! It was very rustic. The view was breathtaking from our balcony and the windows. The four of us were very comfortable and hope to return in the future. Many thanks for a wonderful stay!

On this trip we have stayed in Anchorage, Cantwell, Seward, Homer and Whittier. This has been the best place we have lodged. Beautiful area, beautiful apartment, excellent hosts and, best of all, an exceptionally reasonable cost! Highly recommend.

This was a nicely maintained apartment with space for the three of us. We wanted someone more off the beaten path where we could explore Alaska on our own. There is a small lake with access by canoe and we enjoyed the views and the quiet.

Stayed here a couple nights while coming from Anchorage on our way to Wrangell st Elias national park, specifically the mccarthy/Kennicott area. Was an excellent spot to break up the long drive there. There were only two of us but this place was big enough to accommodate a family easy. Had everything you need there full kitchen and even a washer and dryer. Great views from the deck and they had a paddle boat and canoe they said we could use. My only suggestion would be to give better directions to get to the place itself. The listing said milepost 143 but then couldn’t find exactly where to go from there as the place couldn’t be seen directly from the road. Called Roxanne and she said look for the big white communication tower and follow the road to the end, and then it was no problem finding the place! Overall excellent place to stay!

Wow, what a find. Absolutely beautiful accommodation. Very clean, and tastefully decorated. Comfortable memory foam king mattress would guaranty great night asleep. View of the lake and mountain range is unbelievable. Only wish we had i black out blinds at least in the bedroom window, and driving directions (was not easy to find). Hope we can come back sometimes soon for a little get away.

Best stay in Alaska!

Best stay in Alaska!

We reserved the Nelchina rental for our last 2 nights of our three weeks touring Alaska. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery. We especially enjoyed having the canoe to paddle around Schooner Lake. Allen and Roxanne were the ultimate hosts, giving us privacy, but also sharing stories of their years in Alaska. The apartment was spotless and had everything you need. Including loaner bear-spray for our short hike around the lake. The only thing we would change would be to add an extra night!
