On the night of our arrival, the owner could not find a record of our reservation. He temporarily placed us in one of his B&B rooms instead of the one bedroom apartment we had reserved. That was acceptable to us for two nights. He then told us that the people had not vacated the unit we were supposed to have... more

The first thing you notice is the lack of care taken on the grounds. A lot of "junk" aying all over. Bikes, tools, wood, etc. The. grounds would best be described as a junkyard. When you enter the building you definitely notice the generally rundown condtion of the building. we arrived mid day and found the owner in the kitchen... more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! I was on travel for work and reserved a appartment for my duration. I landed in Fairbanks after a 20+ hour flight and finally got to my room. First: I noticed cig ashes by the front door on the floor under the door knob. Second: Entered the room & it had a foul odor. Third:... more

The truth: You have to remove your shoes before entering. It advertised having canoes and being on water - it's NOT on water, and you have to hand carry a canoe/scratch your vehicle's roof with one, a couple hundred meters to the nearby river. No one wants to do that. The owner wrote down what we wanted for breakfast the... more

I would actually say this place was pretty good except, we reserved a two bedroom apartment. When we got there they gave us a one bedroom with a dining room that had a sofabed. (The whole reason we reserved the place was so everyone could go to their designated room if they wanted) No complaints about the room it was... more

This place should not be called a B & B. In fact, it shouldn't even be in operation. I booked a "suite" which actually consisted of just a bedroom and attached bath. I was OK with that, but the condition of the room was really bad. The carpet was stained and dirty. The wall by the bed had coffee stains... more

We never actually stayed at the 7 Gables because when we got there, the owner diverted us to another of his properties at a different location. We had reserved a two-room suite with king bed, jacuzzi, etc. What we found at the other location was something completely different - a run-down little building in an overgrown yard next to a... more

West Cottage is not fit to stay in. We checked out as soon as we looked over the building, stairs unsafe and building was a fire trap. Junk all over the yard. We were booked to stay 3 nights but the owner would only refund us two. more

The Inn had country charm and the room decorated nicely and comfortable. The Innkeepers did not have warmth and customer attention. Neither did our shower on either morning of our stay...first day no water..as maintenance was working on the boiler then only cold the second day. We were offered a shower in another spare room, but this inconvenience to us... more

Although the arcitechture is certainly unusual and the outside a little messy we had a fine night at this B&B. The room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good and plentiful. the proprietors were friendly and helpful. It has a tv in the room bigger than 13" and computer access for the guests. Best of all it was very inexpensive... more
