    I took "The Dream Tour" last week. The experience began with an hour long presentation by kennel co-owner Vern Halter. Vern Halter has run the Iditarod and Yukon Quest many times. He talked about the races, the dogs and mushing in general. The lecture was very interesting and I learned a lot. After the presentation we suited up in massive suits, boots, hats and gloves. In the yard, we watched as the staff got the teams ready. I hooked one dog up to the sled. Vern designed the sleds himself so two people could stand up and drive the sled. If standing up is a problem, riders can sit in the basket instead. Half the group left in a van while the rest of us headed out on the sleds. The ride is seven to eight miles. For the first half of the ride the guide was in front. Half way through we changed places. It had snowed recently, so the ground was covered in fresh snow. The trees were loaded down with snow and the mountains were beautiful. The dogs run slower than I expected, so it was a very leisurely ride through absolutely beautiful country. At the end of our run, the people who went out in the van were waiting. The van riders got on the sleds and we departed in the van. It took about fifteen minutes to get back to the kennel. While waiting for the rest of the group to return on the sleds, most of us spent time in the yard with the dogs. I have never been an animal person, but I absolutely loved this experience and the dogs. I recommend that every visitor to the Anchorage area visit Vern and his dogs. It is truly a memorable experience. If you don't have a car, you can visit the kennel with Salmon Berry Tours. That is what I did. They provide round-trip transportation from your Anchorage hotel or B&B to the kennel as well as a snack.

    My family and I were looking for extended-stay lodging from Feb 1st - April 1st 2021. We were…read moremoving to Alaska from the lower 48, and needed a place to live while in the process of purchasing a house. I had contacted Karen Harris, the owner of Alaska Garden Gate BnB, in December 2020 and secured our reservation for an extended stay. Karen informed me in late January 2021 that it was possible the property would sell during our reservation dates, but that she was doing everything she could to ensure current guests could stay as long as possible, and that future reservations were honored. We checked into the Cottonwood Cottage on Feb. 1st. 2021 with no problems. During our stay, we were given notice that both property appraisals and inspections were taking place and were asked for our patience and understanding. I had email Karen multiple times to clarify our reservation and status of the property's ownership. Karen again responded that the contract and sale had not been finalized and she would let me know. On the morning of February 10th, Karen called to informed me that we needed to vacate the property within 24 hrs due to the sale of the property. Karen stated that the new owners were not going to continue with a BnB business, and that they required all long-term tenants and short terms guests to leave immediately. We complied with the abrupt request and thankfully found alternative lodging the same day. However, we were subsequently charged extra nights through Feb 13th. While a refund was provided for those extra nights; based on Alaska Garden Gate BnB's February 19th Facebook post, they are actively taking reservations through March 16th. While Alaska Garden Gate BnB will no longer be an active business come March 16th, I would not recommend any individual to do current or future business with an owner and company who treats their guests with such blatant disrespect and deceit.

    We stayed here for a night during our Alaska trip. First, we were totally impressed with the…read moreambience, amazed with garden and cottage set up to such a great detail. We checked before arriving in, on check-in timings and other details to make sure we get the keys and other things in case if we get delayed. We took room for 4 people, so it came with double bunk beds with one bottom queen with rest single beds. Room was decent side with modern bathroom in an apartment style. Also, it came with shared kitchen with table, microwave and coffee maker. Dining hall was set up in a ballroom environment with round tables and chairs around it. Also, outdoor dining area is also available. Homemade breakfast is served: * hot oatmeal and blueberries with additional side toppings available - nuts, almonds, sugar, raisins and cranberries - loved it ! * egg omelette with potato stuffed - again loved it * muffins - not well cooked, felt like it was under baked and needs more cooking Other than that, regular store-bought bread with butter, jam was also served. The only complaint is in the morning there were too much noise as rooms are layed out next to each other with very little space which can be annoying if you decide to sleep in little more than others, we can hear people shouting and bathroom noise as well. We would totally come in here any time during our next Alaska trip and recommend it to others.
