A cute B&B with a few rooms downstairs, the kitchen, sitting area and one bedroom plus the "Alaska suite" upstairs. There's a sign on the swinging door meant to notify guests that its the door to the Alaska Suite (I don't know if that actually deters anyone from using the bathroom that's right past the swinging doors). The kids bedroom and the master bedroom are on either side, both with combo locks. Not sure how "secure" this setup is, especially for ones that truly have little ones staying in that room. The beds were so soft and squeaky, none of us got a good nights rest. They did a good job with the decor in all the common areas, bedrooms and bathroom. The two dilapidated RVs in the back of the property were quite the eyesore though. 100% contactless check in and out. I received a code via email 15 minutes before check in at 3pm and instructions later on how to check out. My parents were stoked to find the help yourself well stocked fridge and pantry items for breakfast. They cooked themselves some soft boiled eggs in the early AM and were happy campers.

I had a room here. It was disgusting. It was filthy and there was nothing provided as stated on website. I tried to get a refund but they wouldn't do it. I t was over 300$. I felt unsafe and I'm pretty sure there are some health and fire safety violations.I took pictures and sent them to Expedia to no avail. The bed was squeaky, there were stains on the carpet and it was stinky. The refrigerator was full of rotten things. It was a basement room and the toilet was on a weird pedestal The owner was the nastiest business person I've ever talked to. Actually she sent me nasty texts after I called Expedia. DO NOT STAY HERE!

A cute little B&B place near Anchorage airport. The triple room is small but has nice, thoughtful decor and setup. Our room is clean and the beds are comfortable. The owner provides a full kitchen and even laundry room. The service lady is very friendly and nice to talk to. We really appreciate that the owner let us check in early at noon and the very efficient contactless checkin. Breakfast was very well stocked and self-served. Living room and kitchen were very clean and beautifully decorated. We only stayed 1 night to drive to Seward and it was a pleasant start of our vacation :) we will be back!

The self check-in was easy. I didn't see anyone there for my whole stay, which was very relaxing and just what I needed before an upcoming busy business trip. The building is beautiful and the public kitchen and seating areas are nicely furnished. There were enough options that I had no problem finding something I was happy with for breakfast the two mornings I was there. I stayed in the Denali room and it is small. I knew it would be small from the explanation on the website; it was more cramped than I expected. I had to place my suitcase on the bed to open it. The shower stall is also small, but the water pressure is great. There was a strong smell in my room. I can only describe it as an old house smell - it reminded me of older homes I have been in different areas of Alaska. The smell was not pleasant. I'm sure in the summer the room is aired out more, and this is not as much of a problem. I do not know if this is a problem in the other rooms. Overall, I was pleased with my stay.

This Site BnB was an absolute Gem! We travel to Anchorage frequently and hotels can be expensive if you can even book the nights that you need, during their tourism season. The self check-in is really a huge help. This place is absolutely adorable, thoughtfully designed, conveniently located to the air port, and is a self-serve breakfast. The lovely lady rubbing it was so very helpful during our stay. We will definitely be a return guest. We entirely recommend!

Stayed there in March of 2024 for three nights. Very convenient self check in. Clean, comfortable, great continental breakfast. Close to airport, downtown, and lots of restaurants. I will definitely stay there again when I'm in Anchorage.

Stayed at this place for a very brief time as we had an extremely early flight the next day. We were in the Denali suite and the bed pretty much filled the whole room. We could barely get around it without tripping over our unpacked suitcase. We were unable to partake of the breakfast as we left at 0430 and they did not serve until 0700. They did provide granola bars if you wished. The only negative thing I can say is that none of the bedroom electrical plugs would hold the new iPhone or iPad plugs (as they kept falling out of the electrical sockets). The only functioning plug was in the bathroom. We were afraid to leave them plugged in, in the living area of the house, as we did not know who might take them and others showed up as we went to sleep.

We had a great stay! Just minutes from everything, we enjoyed sunrises and nature walks and a comfy bed to sleep in. We were close to downtown and the hostess even tipped us off that the Northern Lights were out! We had yummy breakfasts here too. Nice place to stay within city limits. Thanks!

What a great place to stay in Anchorage. The rooms were really nice and we had a wonderful breakfast each morning to start out day. We stayed in the Alaskan Suite for two nights. Met a couple of interesting folks from Switzerland and there are a ton of sidewalks for a nice little morning jog. Would recommend this place over a hotel to anyone anyday!

DO NOT STAY HERE! Upon arrival there is no one on site to check in with and the owner does not ever answer their phone if there are problems. It was bad enough that a client I sent here walked out and booked a different hotel last minute. All attempts at calling this owner & e-mailing them were left unanswered. The one response we did receive was not even pertaining to the subject at hand and made no sense. After many failed attempts at getting a response via phone, e-mail, and third party booking service trying to call as well, the client was forced to dispute the charges on their card. Third party booking service called again two months later and was finally able to get the owner to answer the phone to which he said (quote) "he said he tried to call and e-mail when no one showed to check in, so he is not going to budge on any refund." Clearly that was a lie because no one was around or available to answer the listed phone number at the time and for weeks afterwards. Agent on the phone even went so far as to follow that up with "he seemed like a mean spirited individual on the phone". Aside from the fact that the place was bad enough for a customer to walk right back out after walking in, the level of customer service and respect is not worth the hassle and headache.
