StoryHaus Alaska - Gathering Retreat for Groups & Families
StoryHaus Alaska is a gathering-focused retreat in Palmer, Alaska designed for meaningful time together. With expansive shared spaces, flexible accommodations, meadow surroundings, and peekaboo mountain views, the home was intentionally created for groups to gather, celebrate, reconnect, and slow down together.
Ideal for multi-family vacations, retreats, milestone weekends, and group stays, StoryHaus combines the warmth of a private retreat with the functionality of a true gathering house.
Shared Gathering Spaces
StoryHaus was intentionally designed for groups to gather comfortably together while still having room to spread out and recharge.
The home features:
* a spacious Dining Room and Great Hall for shared meals, games, and larger group gatherings
* multiple kitchens and livingrooms
* a warm coffee nook
* a quiet library retreat with enclosed Murphy bed
* a separate cozy apartment
* expansive decks overlooking the playground and surrounding scenery
Whether gathering around the fire, sharing long dinners, or enjoying slower mornings together, the layout was designed to support connection and shared experience.
Sleeping Spaces
Main House
Includes the King Hearth Suite with ensuite bath, two queen bedrooms, the enclosed library Murphy bed, and central access to the home’s primary gathering spaces.
Loft & Bunkhouse
Flexible sleeping arrangements for 10–12 guests, ideal for kids, retreats, and shared group stays.
Hideaway Suite
A separate-entry apartment with two queen bedrooms, full kitchen, living room, bath, laundry, recliner, and pull-out sofa—perfect for guests wanting additional privacy while staying connected to the group.
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.
Join us during StoryHaus’s founding year and enjoy special introductory rates in this one-of-a-kind gathering retreat designed for meaningful time together.
