Stayed here after a 6 day backcountry camping trip and the new luxury cottage was great. Awesome view of Knik Glacier, nicely landscaped grounds, nice king sized bed, oversized jacuzzi tub, fireplace, sitting room and kitchen. Palmer is a great location, close to Anchorage, Hatcher's Pass and Talkeenta. Hot homemade breakfast included each day. Karen is a very friendly and... More

We had a fantastic stay at this B&B. We opted for the 8:30 breakfast. From oatmeal with fresh berries to ham and egg casserole the food was always delicious and plentiful. We stayed in the forest haven suite in the main house. The suite was spacious and comfortable. Location was very centrally located for day trips both north and south.... More

Our family had mixed feelings when it came to the Garden Gate. There were some really good things, and there were some things we really wish would have been different. First of all, the location truly was fantastic - outside the B&B was lush, green, and beautiful. No one was home when we arrived, but a letter had been left... More

I apologize that breakfast wasn't as delicious as they would have liked! The waffles are always fresh for each setting--I wish they would have mentioned that they'd like a different one so I could make more for them. On the sausages, I agree. I was trying a new turkey sausage in hopes of going lower-fat, but they were tough. Sorry.... More

This is a very clean and comfortable place. Nice view of a glacier. The only thing is that Karen makes you walk in your socks (no shoes allowed inside) and then your socks will get all the lose hair from the dog. More

We stayed two nights at Karen's Alaska Garden Gate B&B. The room was large and tastefully decorated. Karen's breakfasts were delightful. She is a gracious and helpful hostess. Although we did not see any wildlife, other guests have reported seeing moose. We have stayed at many B&Bs and would rate this as one of the best! Linda & Jay More

Was it the homemade gooey cinnamon rolls or the views that was the best? And my husband's a big guy, so it was great this wasn't a fussy place--nice leather sofas in the huge living room where we just sat and watched the mountains (who knew the view changed so much--it was like a movie outside), and the king bed...

awesome B&B !! Karen is the hostest from heaven, addressing your every need! We stayed in the "Forest Haven Guest Apartment". We had a HUGE Jacuzzi tub, COMFRONTABLE king bed, fireplace, small kitchen with fridge, oven, micro, coffee maker. Karen likes to have the main house empty for cleaning but we found that not to be an issue at all.... More

Elva and I stayed 4 nights at this bed and breakfast and totally enjoyed it. Our hostess, Karen, was friendly and very helpful giving directions, approximate travel time, etc. She was genuinely interested (and surprised!) to hear about all our activities during the day. The jacquzzi in our room was wonderful for getting the kinks out after hiking on the... More

We have stayed at a number of B&B's in Alaska over the past few weeks, and this one did not stack up on top of our list. Here is our take: Accomodations (room quality, cleanliness) are probably as good as it gets in Alaska, all at reasonable prices. And no, this is not a joke, although I rated this property... More

For 2010 we're happy to announce that now guests are welcome to be at our B&B and Cottages 24/7, no "closed" periods during the day! We are available for service from 7-11 a.m. and from 4-10 p.m., but guests can feel free to relax around the B&B at any time. We have heard from TripAdvisor reviews that this was important... More

This was a great place to use as ground base for our explorations around the Mat-Su Valley. Karen is a delightful hostess, and she truly opens her home up to you. The rooms are very large and bright (particularly in the summer when the sun doesn't set until after midnight!) It is quite busy for a B&B, but we found... More
