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.

I spent 3 weeks in Alaska and my stay at Abby's Place was hands down the best night. This B&B is…read morebrand new, it opened in June 2017. The rooms are spacious with each having their own private bathroom. The bed was so comfortable, best nights sleep that I had in years. The owners are two of the nicest people, they build the beautiful house and live on site. It's in a very safe area, easy to find with a big yard to sit out and read in warmer weather. When you check in, the owners will ask what you want for breakfast the next day, they made me French toast and had fresh fruit, yogurt, juice and coffee out. The best part of my stay was watching the Northern lights from the backyard. The owners called me to come down to watch them, the beautiful purple and green lights were AMAZING. The Northern Lights will only get stronger as the winter gets on so this is a perfect place to watch them. As for location, Palmer is 45 minutes north of Anchorage, 25 minutes from Hatchers Pass and 3 hours from Denali. Perfect place to stay a few nights and make side trips. Beautiful place, it was like staying with relatives, so safe and welcoming. I recommend Abby's Place to anyone traveling to Alaska!!
