Charming Restored 1935 Hayloft Barn With Lake Access In Palmer
Step into Alaska history at this beautifully restored 1935 hay loft on two peaceful lakefront acres in Palmer. This unique stay features a loft bedroom accessed by a spiral staircase, one bathroom, cozy kitchenette, lake frontage and homestead charm minutes from downtown. Due to the historic features and spiral staircase, we strongly recommend this stay for guests ages 12+ and ask guests to consider safety when booking with children.
The Nelson
The Nelson sits on a quiet, lakefront property in Palmer, surrounded by open skies, mountain views, and the kind of stillness that’s hard to find anywhere else. It’s peaceful, private, and just far enough from the busier areas to truly unwind.
At the same time, you’re still a short drive to downtown Palmer, local farms, hiking trails, and some of the best scenery Alaska has to offer. Whether you’re here in the long summer light or the quiet of winter, there’s something grounding about being out here.
About Borealis Bison Barns
We’re a mother-daughter team, fourth and fifth generation Alaskans, rooted right here in the Mat-Su Valley. Our family’s story in Alaska goes back to 1935, when our great-grandparents came north as part of the Matanuska Colony Project and built a life from the ground up.
We both work in real estate and spend our days helping people find their place here, so creating a space like this felt like a natural extension of that. Hosting gives us the chance to share a piece of Alaska’s history, slower pace, and everyday beauty with people who want to experience more than just a place to stay.
