* a spacious Dining Room and Great Hall for shared meals, games, and larger group gatherings
* multiple kitchens and livingrooms

The Setting
StoryHaus sits nestled in a wooded meadow with majestic mountain views from garden nooks, bedrooms, and library. Summers bring long daylight evenings and outdoor gathering spaces, while winter transforms the home into a cozy retreat with fireside spaces, softened lighting, and snowfall framed through large windows.
Multiple decks overlook the play yard, while secluded seating areas throughout the property offer space for conversation, reading, and quiet rest.
Explore Alaska
Hiking, snowboarding, kayaking, glacier adventures, and scenic day trips are all within reach. Palmer, Hatcher Pass, the Matanuska Glacier, and surrounding mountain areas make StoryHaus an ideal home base for exploring Alaska together.
Designed for Shared Time
StoryHaus is especially well suited for guests looking to slow down and reconnect. Thoughtful details throughout the home include feather duvets, linen bedding, softened lighting, grounded natural materials, and flexible gathering spaces designed for both rest and shared experience.
Families and groups will also enjoy the hidden playroom, removable slide, swing set, hammock, trampoline, and indoor/outdoor gathering areas.
More Than a Vacation Stay
StoryHaus is designed as a full-property gathering retreat—not just for individual stays, but for the kinds of shared experiences people rarely have space to create anymore. The home is well suited for multi-family vacations, milestone birthdays, creative retreats, leadership gatherings, restorative weekends, and meaningful celebrations where guests can stay, gather, and enjoy time together under one roof.
