Welcome to our little corner of Alaska! We are a family business run by two couples: Mark and Colleen, and Jeff and Megan. Mark is a lifelong Alaskan who grew up exploring the wild and rugged beauty of this state. Colleen moved to Alaska after marrying Mark, and fell in love with its breathtaking landscapes and charming communities. Jeff and Megan, Colleen’s parents, moved to Alaska after the arrival of their grandchildren. For all of us, the call of family and the call of the wild were too strong to resist.
Together, we share a deep passion for Alaska and all it has to offer. We love nothing more than exploring the state’s many hidden gems, from hidden lakes and valleys to awe-inspiring mountains and glaciers. In the summer, you’ll often find us camping out in some remote corner of the state, hiking or kayaking, and soaking up the long, bright days. When winter comes, we slow down a bit and take time to plan for the next summer’s adventures, but we never stop exploring – whether it’s a hike through the winter wonderland, sledding at the park or indulging in some indoor golf.
Our love for Alaska led us to start this business together, offering a home-away-from-home to visitors who want to experience the magic of this state for themselves. Our first rental house in Palmer, Alaska is a cozy and welcoming home within walking distance of downtown Palmer’s coffee shops, breweries and the state fairgrounds. The GreenHouse has all the amenities you need to relax and recharge after a day of exploring.
And we’re not stopping there – we are developing Stillwater Cottages and The Little Lakehouse on the shore of Lake Lucille in Wasilla. This will be a place for families and community to gather for relaxation, conversation and a base for exploring Alaska.
We are more than just a business – we are a family, united by our love of Alaska and our desire to share that love with others. When you stay with us, you become part of that family too. We’ll share our favorite hiking trails, fishing spots, and hidden gems with you, and help you make the most of your time in this wild and wonderful place. So come and join us – we can’t wait to welcome you to Alaska!
