The Time Traveler's B&B was hands down the most fun and interesting stay we've had to date. We especially appreciated the Doctor Who decor as we're huge fans of the series.Our host graciously prepared coffee for us each morning as well as a wonderful variety of breakfast foods. Everything was comfy, clean and totally amazing. Thanks for such a great stay!

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!

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!

Every detail of this property is carefully thought out. We enjoyed reading about all the time travel movies and viewing the related items. The garden was the perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. Location worked out great for us as well. Hope to return!

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.

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.

Carol and her property both deserve top ratings! She had everything taken care of. Uniquely appointed residence filled with entertainment and information. She was responsive to my requests but never intrusive. I would not hesitate to stay here if we ever get back to Palmer. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Our stay was great. Loved the luggage lift and the quirky decore. The main bed and bath are spacious. The second bed was small for 2 adults but fine. The location and view out the back window was fabulous
