We stayed one night and really liked our room. The owner greeted us and made us feel comfortable. The room had 2 large queen beds, table, fridge, tv, internet access, and bathroom. The room was very roomy and nicely decorated. The bathroom was tastefully decorated. Cereal, toast, home-made english muffins, bananas, coffee were offered and included in our stay. We... More

This is a real bed & breakfast. The owner grew up in this house and converted it to a B&B. as with any 100 yo house it is a work in progress, so things aren't perfect. But the bedrooms are beautiful, beds comfy, and living room spacious and welcoming with a cozy fire. The night we arrived they were making... More

We had a beautiful room, with two Queen beds and a nice clean bathroom. The room also had a small refrigerator and microwave. Phyllis and Joanne were gracious hosts and provided a wonderful self-serve breakfast. Thanks for the delicious smoked salmon! It's the best we ever ate!

Kitchen and garage were dirty, the refrigerator, smelled like old cheese, the garage had so many empty wine "boxes" and beer bottles strewn about that you could barely walk. The owners are friendly, and somewhat helpful, coffee was excellent. Parking is almost non existent, and when we were there the sidewalk was barely maintained and extremely icy. Room was pleasant,...

We arrived on a ferry from Skagway at 6pm and were met by Phyllis from the B&B and given a tour around the town. We walked into town and to the supermarket then back to the B&B and were invited to join our hosts for a drink and a chat. Our room had 2 large beds and was well appointed... More

What a disappointment this place was. The room we were allocated (room 4) did not live up to the description on the web site. It turned out to be basically like a basement and was quite cold and depressing. On speaking to the owner she agreed to change us to room 3 which was very light and airy. Security does... More

We stated here and where impressed with how well the place was kept, plus the hosts were both lovely and helpful. Good places to stay in Alaska which are well kept, clean and good value are few and far between, but this is certainly one.
