This was a great choice for our accommodations. Unlike a typical hotel, the beautifully restored residence and interaction with owners Scott and Jill provided a personal experience that was central to our enjoyment of our trip. The breakfast each morning was wonderful and it was truly enjoyable to be able to chat with Scott and Jill about themselves, the history of the property and the area. Their knowledge of Alaska was extensive and provided an excellent basis for making the most of our first time there. We especially appreciated advice on ways to view the aurora, locations for optimal opportunity and their perspectives on how to approach the experience. Prior to our arrival, Scott reached out via text to provide every bit of information we needed to arrive and access the home easily (make sure to include your phone and email contact data in your reservation information as this advance briefing made it easy for them to anticipate our needs, timing and make sure we had immediate access as while they are located nearby, they are not always in site). Two of our three nights had no other guests in the house so we had the place to ourselves and in the third we enjoyed talking with and sharing experiences with the nice couple who arrived and joined us. Heating was radiant style, so it was comfortable without the blowing of forced air into the room, and all other utilities were fully modernized so the environment was excellent. Top notch all around and highly recommend.
