I stayed there for three separate weekends during the Alaska State Fair. The hosts (Cathe and Steve) were gracious, the bed comfy, linens clean and plush, breakfast amazing (fresh fruit everyday, made-to-order eggs/bacon, pastries and yogurt) and location convenient. I've already booked my time for next year's Fair! Stay here - you'll be happy you did!

This was a very quiet area with close access to the highway. The owners were hospitable and had considerable Alaskan knowledge. Breakfast was nice. Some people might be a little bothered by the chickens crowing in the morning but we enjoyed the small farm feel it gave to our stay. Would stay here again if we were needed an overnight stay again in the Wasilla area.

Host was very welcoming and helped us to dry our wet boots.That was so sweet of her! The room is spacious and decorated in a theme befitting of Alaska and the outdoors—pictures of wildlife, mountains, and of course, Denali. The quilt is olive green, muted brown, and beige with a border of moose, evergreens, and mountains. But in the corner on a good-sized antique table, there is a flower arrangement of roses. The floor is Pergo. The bathroom is also good-sized. The living room has animal heads and skins. The dining room overlooks the mountains, including Twin Peaks. Everything was great except the breakfast not exceptional like most B&B's. Pancakes were spongy and syrup was not real maple syrup, but eggs and sausage were good.

Home away from home

What a wonderful find. The hosts were so accommodating and the homemade breakfast was wonderful. You really feel that you are at a home of a beloved relative. If I'm ever back in the area that would be my first choice of stay.
