When we booked our trip, the inkeeper (Carol Ross) told us about the Alaska State Fair in nearby Palmer, something we would have missed on our own, and it was a great experience! Throughout our stay, her knowledge and information helpd make this trip very special! The B&B is beautiful, with a large garden (where she grows some of the... more

Traveling with spouse, mother and aunt. Found this to be an adequate stop over for one night. Did not appreciate having to remove shoes before entering house... it is not like the carpet is new or even light colored. Rooms are almost museum like with lots of bric/brac. Seemed cluttered to me but I understand that some may like it.... more

Stayed 3 nights at big bear bb in June 09. Carol is a wonderful hostess with a wealth of knowledge of the local area and answered was an excellent source of information. She prepares great homemade breakfasts with all kinds of fresh berry topping. She is a great cook! She even got up early to fix us a boxed breakfast... more

We spent 2 nights in the Denali room. It was conveniently located on the first floor right off the dining room. There was a comfortable queen bed and a huge sitting area with sofa, chair and television. There was plenty of space to put our suitcases and our other stuff. The bathroom had a large Jacuzzi tub and a separate... more

Excellent B&B in Anchorage. Carol and family are the most hospitable hosts, with superb breakfasts provided by Carol and we have adopted Carol's recipe for coffee. The immediate area though not the best presented no problems. The Big Bear with it's garden is an oasis after a day's sightseeing. The second floor provides good accommodation for guests with comfortable bedrooms... more

It seems everyone has said it all. Carol and her sister were wonderful hostesses - warm, friendly and accomodating. Her breakfast, as said, fantastic. Her garden & flowers- impressive. The location wsn't really a problem. Upstairs she has 3 rooms and common living room with TV, dvds, books, table and a beverage bar with everything you could possibly think of... more

We stayed here for one night in July. Carol is very friendly and was full of tips and hints (and coupons!) for activities in the area. She made sourdough waffles for breakfast with all sorts of toppings, which were amazing -- the best breakfast in Alaska! We stayed in the "Glacier room," which is kind of cramped and has a... more

My husband and I stayed at Big Bear for 4 nights while visiting Anchorage in July. The neighborhood is a bit iffy around the B & B, and had us concerned when we first drove up, but Carol's home is like an oasis. I can't say enough about what a wonderful hostess she is. We stayed in the Glacier Room,... more

My wife and I went to Alaska for our honeymoon in July 08. When booking our vacation, we made a reservation at Big Bear Bed and Breakfast in Anchorage. Carol was so helpful in telling us what the big attractions are in each of the cities we wanted to visit. Carol told us who was the best at the bear... more

We arrived in Anchorage late in the evening and she was as nice as can be about it. The breakfasts were great and Carol had so much information to give us we were busy our 2 days in Anchorage. Make sure if you stay here you ask her to show you the Alaskan items she has for sale, some of... more
