We found this B&B to lack cleanliness, proper plumbing and the house in need of considerable updates and maintenance. Two other rooms of guests while we were there reported bats kept them up all night with scratching noises!!! Ugh! We had to go into the kitchen and find the coffee ourselves. More

A horrible drive into the house. A house that really could use some TLC. Plumbing/bathroom more like what you'd expect at a poor service station. Rooms smelly and the window's don't open/close. The hosts are incredibly unwelcoming to the point of why do they bother? We felt like they were doing us a favour by letting us stay there. The... More

I had the misfortune of being booked here through a package tour that took me from Anchorage, to Denali, to Fairbanks, back to Palmer, then to Valdez, to Girdwood, then back to Anchorage. I had been to Valdez before, and I can honestly say that this dump nearly ruined my time there. For starters, the road into the B&B was... More

Our stay at the Lake House was booked directly with the owner. He was a delightful gentleman over the phone. What he failed to tell us was that he would not be there and the Lake House was left in the hands of his grandchildren. We arrived to a young man using the driveway as a restroom. He waived as...

This place is not horrible - especially by Alaska standards. However, I would not stay there again. The surrounding mountains offer spectacular views but the house and the rooms were very small, had an odd odor, and not very clean. The bathroom in the room was barely large enough to close the door while occupied and the sink, which was... More

The negatives: I don't know which bedroom that is pictured on their website, but it's not the one we stayed in, which was a dump. This was a $70 room at the very best. There was a closet for our use, but we couldn't open it because it was sealed in by newer carpet that seemed at least 20 years... More

The owners of the Lake House were on an extended vacation when I was there in June 2007. I believe that it was a better place to stay when they were running it. During our stay there was a general lack of attention to detail. With that said, oh my, where to start? We were the only guests for the... More

We stayed here at the beginning of September 2007 for one night. The accommodation was tolerable but the sloping floor, damaged light switch, non-functioning window blinds indicated a distinct lack of effort by the owners. The "breakfast" was the poorest we have had during our many trips to the USA. There was a basket of squashed and flattened pastries, plastic... More

We have stayed in about 5 different B&B at our trip through Alaska and I really have to say that the Lake House in Valdez was the worst. Our room in the basement obviously used to be a 'winter garden' and living room now turned into a 2 room with bathroom. The remodelling was done in a sloppy way. No... More

Maybe the problem is that we expected a lot more than we got, I don't know. What I do know is that we didn't get what we paid for. The B&B has several websites that say different things. geocities.com/lakehousevaldez/ states it's on the shores of Robe Lake. When we drove up we estimated that it is a solid 2 miles... More
