Alaska's Lake Lucille B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay in Wasilla! Very homely and amazing breakfast. Carol was always willing to help wherever she could. Highly recommend!"

Snowgoose Pond Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The guide and recommendations provided were fantastic because they were all based on the host’s own personal experiences, making them much more helpful and authentic than typical travel suggestions. The highlight, though, was the homemade breakfast—it was absolutely the best! Fresh, delicious, and made with so much care. It was the perfect way to start each day. We would happily stay here again."

Susitna Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The property was better than expected. I run a little hot, so was a little vexed when there was no AC, but opening the windows solved that. If I had to get ultra nit-pickey, and I mean really critical, (this was the best place I've ever stayed at) there was dead mosquitos and a dead yellow jacket in the window sills. Which I would have been upset if they were alive. So it really wasnt a problem, but as we have a lot of yellow jackets in Oklahoma, it made me jump. The other thing...and again, not much of an issue as I wasnt watching a lot of TV, but everything was in I think Farsi or Arabic? And I couldnt change it to anything else. Thats it. Two incredibly minor issues that dont affect the stay really at all. And, had I mentioned anything to the staff, it probably would have been taken care of in minutes. They were on top of everything no matter the time of day. Safe area for parking. Lots of space. Washer and dryer with (thankfully) a few pods to do some laundry. Everything they provide was more than anywhere I've stayed. Highly recommend."
