About this property

Unique & Imaginative: Time Traveler's B&B in Downtown Palmer

Go north to the future and back in time! Welcome to Downtown Palmer's 5-star "Night in Another Time" experience! Specially designed for the Sci-Fi, movie, or history buffs in your life, this imaginative museum will fire your imagination and thrill your kids. The mountain view is spectacular, the grounds are delightful and the downtown location is ideal for walking. The entire upstairs level of the house is yours to enjoy as each room is modeled on a different era from famous time travel movies. There are plenty of games and activities for rainy days, too! There are 2 bedrooms with private baths that sleep up to 5 adults. An excellent self-serve breakfast features "Hill Valley Breakfast Sandwiches" and "Clara's Souffles." A former Walt Disney Imagineer lovingly designed these rooms to give you an unforgettable and informative experience. Please enjoy the garden and the Stargate Treehouse, too. There is an orientation video.

Things you'll see: 1) The Luggage Lift is a little amusement ride for your suitcases - it will lift your wheeled luggage to the 2nd floor in style.

2) The 1950s Paradox Parlor presents the story of The Twelve Monkeys SyFy series. Your hostess busses and resets the breakfast table every day. (there is no kitchen sink in the guest quarters)

3) The Hill Valley Continuum is what the Victorian honeymoon suite of Doc Brown and Clara Clayton might have looked like in 1885. If you've never seen Back to the Future 3, this is the perfect place to do that.

4) The Multiverse is where many stories collide. There are two twin beds and a bonus bed. The universe is depicted on the ceiling, the stars glow in the dark and there are other mechanical wonders to amuse young travelers in this room. The Micro-verse (walk-in closet) can be transformed into a tiny bedroom with a 5'9" bed.

5)The hall bathroom (Quantum Realm) has a step stool for small travelers and features displays about the Quantum Leap TV show.

6) The Stargate Treehouse is a fun little space to have tea and watch the birds. There is a heater. The swing can support a grown-up!

*My Cleaning ritual always includes a timely dose of UV sanitizing light, killing 99.5% of all viruses, mites & bacteria.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place and its host. She anticipates your every need, leaves detailed instructions and it is such a fun place to explore, you could easily be entertained just staying in. There’s movies, an adorable parlor with a great Mountain View, garden..fun little gadgets from the past and future.

Not the usual ABNB!
Check in and check out where effortless. Carrol’s video is very informative and I watched it several times to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Spent three days, could’ve spent a week to read all the interesting items throughout the property. Fresh coffee every morning and goodies in the fridge and freezer were a welcome treat. I’ll go back with my wife next time we visit!

Wonderful place
This was an absolutely great place to stay. The views were wonderful. It was very walkable to Palmer, which made our stay even better. Carol, our host, was very thoughtful. She was kind, understanding and easy to communicate with. She seemed to have thought through every detail to make it better. The beds were comfortable and it was helpful having a separate room for the kiddos. It was endearingly quirky and fun. My eight year old said it was his favorite part of the whole trip. We will definitely be staying here again when we visit in the future

Great stay
Carol’s attention to detail is top notch to make her place unique and fun! Although Carol lives downstairs, you won’t see her unless you need to….she is very responsive to any requests and the coffee and milk appears in the morning to add to the assortment of breakfast goodies! I’d stay here again. Walking distance to downtown Palmer shopping and restaurants. Beds are comfy

Carols home is amazing and very unique. The Parlor is a nice place to relax, have a bite to eat and enjoy the views. Carol stocks the fridge and freezer with a lovely variety of food for breakfast. We were quite full when we left and everything was delicious. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend a visit here.

Time Travelers Bed and Breakfast Fabulous stay
What a wonderful and amazing place. Everything was so much more interesting than the VRBO listing, and the accommodations were genuinely first class. Conveniently located, and a great introductory video from Carol that left nothing to have to ask about! A timeless treasure! Carol was very prompt when asking questions before booking and was an outstanding host.

Treasured Time
I’ve been visiting Palmer every few months for the last couple of years, staying at local hotels. No more! On a whim, I looked for a B&B for this trip and found Time Travelers. What a wonderful and amazing place. Everything was so much more interesting than the VRBO listing, and the accommodations were genuinely first class. Conveniently located, and a great introductory video from Carol that left nothing to have to ask about! A timeless treasure! No more local hotels for my trips to Palmer!

amazing house and memorabilia
The house was amazing. The breakfast was good and plentiful. She supplied anything you may need in the house. Someone in our group needed nail file and it was in a bathroom drawer. She thought of everything. We would definitely stay here again. The "Back To The Future" memorabilia throughout the house was enjoyable. Beds were comfortable.

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!

A great spot for rest and intrigue
One of our favorite parts of staying at the time travelers B&B was the breakfast selection. The freezer and the refrigerator were fully stocked and we even had fresh baked cookies to welcome us on our first day. The kids loved to explore the backyard, and we all thought that the treehouse was super cool! All of the inside decor was so unique, and we enjoyed reading a lot about time travel. The kids especially loved the luggage lift. It was a great spot to rest after exploring all day. We all slept great! The only downfall was there was not a large shared space for the four of us to watch a movie together, but just for a couple days, we made it work and it was okay. The host was super responsive, and that was greatly appreciated! Laundry worked great. Plenty of hot water.

Magical Stay in Palmer
Carol Dorman has created an Unbelievable B&B in the Time Traveler’s B&B in Palmer,AK. The Charm and the Detail is on another level. A Guest steps back into time with a Back to the Future Theme….Wow!, I’m glad our stay was longer than a day, so we could really feel the Charm of the B&B. Wonderful Breakfast in the Paradox Parlor. The Views of the Nicely Appointed Backyard and the Closeness of Mt. Peak and the Palmer Airport. We Totally Enjoyed Our Stay and Would Highly Recommend the Time Traveler’s B&B. It’s a Stay You Won’t Forget in a Wonderful Way……
