We stayed at this charming B&B the night before we made our way to the Alaska State Fair which was only about a 15 minute drive away. The minute we stepped into our cottage we were so pleasantly surprised, we had our own private cottage that was clean, modern and new. At the same time it was very inviting and... More

Thank you for the review! I'd like to let any prospective and returning guests know about an important change at our B&B. We're now providing a generous continental breakfast in your own kitchen, for you to enjoy whenever you like, instead of three seatings of cooked breakfast in the B&B. The breakfast baskets feature a homemade entree such as quiche... More

We stayed for only one night in a lovely clean cottage with a great bathroom, comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchenette and very welcoming sofa and tv in the lounge. We were fully aware that the husky was elderly and sometimes a little grumpy and this was no problem for us. However having read the great reviews of Karen's breakfasts, we... More

Thanks for your kind review. I wouldn't normally take a day off during the summer, except that my father passed away unexpectedly 3000 miles away, so helpers filled in. I try to be on hand as much as possible, but in this case we had to go. More

This B. & B. was really the cleanest place I have been in Alaska. The only problem was that everybody needed to go barefoot or with slippers and there was a big furry dog , not so friendly (she tried to bite one of my children who was petting her ). We love animals and we are used to them... More

I'm terribly sorry if I didn't communicate clearly enough with these guests. I didn't realize they didn't get enough to eat from the ample breakfast full of choices that they mentioned that I cooked for everyone that morning. There are two tables of 6; the Pyrex baking dishes I have are different sizes so I let everyone know at the... More

The setting is great, with wonderful views of the Matanuska valley, and we had a very comfortable stay here for 2 nights. I'd booked a room with a double and a sofa bed for me and my daughters, but at no extra cost Karen put us in a suite with a room for me and another for them, which was... More

We've enjoyed both stays here. Two years ago we stayed in the Forest Haven Guest Apartment and this trip we stayed in one of the luxury cottages Both times we enjoyed our stay. The rooms are very clean and nicely decorated. The view of Knik glacier from the luxury cottage is outstanding. The Forest Haven room has a nice view... More

This home was priced correctly. Our host was amazing. Very loving and kind. The food was very nice and she allowed you to eat more if you wanted more. The bedroom had a jacuzzi in the bedroom living area. How different so I took advantage of enjoying a bath in the bedroom living area. I had to be quiet though,... More

Dont trust your gps to get there they dont work. Apart from that you will be glad you made it here. Beautifully set out so that you are not on your neighbours door step. Amazing view around the site and only minutes from the towns of Palmer and Wasilla. And dont forget to get a pat from the old dog... More

We stayed in one of the cabins. There was tons of space and it was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Our cabin had a view of mountains and a glacier. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was OK, it was not something we would normally eat, banana pancakes with bacon and fresh fruit, but suspect for a... More

We had a large suite with a kitchenette and a jacuzzi. The B&B is on a small hillock and the view from there is very good. We wish we had stayed longer at this place. More

A friend of mine and I went on a climbing and hiking trip to Hatcher Pass and we stayed here a few nights. We really enjoyed our visit at the Garden Gate. The rooms were clean, the views are outstanding, and the breakfast was great. Karen was an exceptional host. She is kind, interesting and very knowledgeable about the region.... More
