Sunderland Ranch is a gorgeous farm located in the Palmer area. Secluded without being isolated, it offers the perfect country feeling while still being close enough to town to go out to dinner!
They also have a shared "Breakfast Nook" where you can grab a cup of coffee. This is just to get you started, because when you wake up you'll head to a big farm breakfast with all the fixings!
Find a more rustic feel with their Elk and Cowboy rooms. These rooms have gorgeous wood touches, with darker colors and animal artwork.
All the rooms share full bathrooms, and are located on the same floor overlooking the horse arena. There's a gorgeous deck nearby where you can soak in some of the stunning views nearby, including Sleeping Lady.
There are two separate horse adventures you can take. One 90 minute trail ride that rides across Wolverine Lake Creek and takes you through meadows filled with Alaskan wildflowers. The other is a three hour ride that highlights gorgeous views of Hatcher Pass, Matanuska River, and Buffalo Mine!
Besides their horses and trail riding adventures, they have a greenhouse, and cattle and elk herds. With all of these animals it's no surprise they also grow their own hay!
You can find Sunderland Ranch at their Address: 10856 N Wolverine Road, Palmer, AK 99645-8732. There's only a few rooms, so make sure you book early to secure your rooms!
