The room did not have a sofa bed, as we had reserved. However, the staff hustled up a solution, which was fine for our one-night stay. A wonderful view from the balcony.

The lake view was outstanding! Food quality at Everett’s was also very good - rooms are quite large, LOVED the private balcony - and the mattress and bedding were among the most comfortable we’ve had in any resort stay EVER!! Overall, we would definitely stay here again winter or summer… walk to the restaurant from rooms was a tad precarious when iced over, and we had to buy a stopper for the bathtub — no other improvements we would suggest for this wonderfully affordable and lovely place!!

Rough beginning but wonderful experience!!

We got there about 7:30pm and COULD not find where to check in or even to get help. Had to call the after hours number -and no answer. Called the facility director who helped me. Finally got our room. VERY clean and amazing views. Quiet and just had a great experience and plan on going back!!

We liked everything about this property, but I stay was flawed by a barking dog, supposedly belonging to the owner, that was tied up in a storage facility located right next to our room. After a couple of hours of this I called the desk and they removed the dog. But, who chains up a dog right next to your room? The restaurant is fantastic.

The view from the room is spectacular. The mattress on the bed very comfortable. Frame just a tad tall from floor. Room is spacious. Restaurant is amazing food. Decor is pleasant. The bathroom was the challenge. Door to shower/toilet was very dirty. Bathroom very small and in need of upgrading. Shower head is tall but not adjustable. Made rinsing off a challenge. I really like this place but options are limited in the area. People from restaurant had parked in room areas so I had to repark later after diners left. It is posted so not much that staff could do about it. Thermostat in room didn't seem to work but options of portable fan or heater available in room.

Beautiful location right on the lake! Fun watching the fish jumping in the lake and planes taking off and landing right at the dock. The attached restaurant is fantastic!! Service is very good. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom could use some TLC and updating. Just beware when staying here...They close at 9:00! We were driving from the airport and got a call they would leave the key to our room in a lock box on the door and they gave us the code as the front desk would be closed when we arrived. They do not offer breakfast or even coffee in the morning. They open at 11:00! If you are staying over a weekend be sure you have plenty to toilet paper as they closed all day on Monday and don't open again until 4:00 on Tuesday!! There is no one on the premises to assist you. A lady would come by daily and ask if you need towels but there wasn't any daily room service to make the bed or clean etc. Do yourself a favor and book a room upstairs. We stayed on the first floor for the first part of our visit and it was very noisy. We went away for the weekend and stayed upstairs upon our return and it was quieter. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again. The best part was the restaurant! Great food!

The place just felt Alaskan, and the food is fantastic. The rooms aren't fancy, but they're solid, and very clean and quiet. I recommend the 2nd floor for the view over lake Wasilla. I will be staying there again.
