Property was very clean! View was amazing! Beds were comfortable, plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Windows opened! Bathrooms were lovely and well stocked. Coffee was good. The little kitchen was cute, lots of extras. Some of the food was great some was meh. Appreciated the choices and ability to eat on our own schedule. Loved the theme and would stay here again!

Carol’s magical B&B was spotless and cozy. The fridge was stocked with a variety of homemade snacks. Children and adults alike would enjoy exploring rooms of different themes on time travel from films and TV series. My young kid particularly loved the yard and her bed in the meticulously cleaned closet. We stayed there for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Time Traveler extraordinaire

We so enjoyed staying here and visiting with family. We did dig sledding and glacier tour thru Alaska Helicopter Tours. Visited glaciers thru Phillips Glacier tours in Whittier and drove to Talkeetna to try and see Denali. Such a great place to stay with fresh cookies every morning and “Tang” and lemonade in refrigerator! So many other things to do!

Absolutely amazing experience!

The Time Traveler's B&B was hands down the most fun and interesting stay we've had to date. We especially appreciated the Doctor Who decor as we're huge fans of the series.Our host graciously prepared coffee for us each morning as well as a wonderful variety of breakfast foods. Everything was comfy, clean and totally amazing. Thanks for such a great stay!

A Magical Stay at Time Traveler's B&B

My family and I were absolutely charmed by Time Traveler's B&B in downtown Palmer. Our overnight stay was brief, but the attention to detail, cozy beds, and thoughtful (and creative!) touches throughout the B&B made our experience a great one. It was a journey through time and imagination that we thoroughly enjoyed — thank you, Carol!

Fun family getaway

The Time Traveler's B&B was the perfect place for a weekend away with my kids. We all enjoyed the sci-fi decor, breakfast, and movie selection. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a private breakfast room, there was a ton of space to relax in. Bonus points for the backyard swing set and tree house!
