Want to get a fuller picture of Alaska during your visit? Stay with Alaskans. Local bed & breakfasts put authentic Alaska experts—your hosts—at your service: They're happy to share insider tips about the local attractions, as well as their favorite recommendations for hikes, fishing spots or little-known gems. They also give you an in-depth feel for what life is like here for regular folks.
Alaska B&Bs can appeal to all tastes, too: accommodations range from luxurious to rustic, and from quaint homes to guest apartments or even cabins. Each B&B has its own personality: some cater well to business travelers, or have fun activities for families, while others specialize in romance or active, outdoors pursuits.
Breakfast styles also run the gamut, from a stocked kitchen in your private cabin to a communal table where you meet travelers from around the world. Feel free to ask about that breakfast before you book: Will it include classic muffins and fruit, or Alaskan specialties such as salmon quiche, reindeer sausage and wild blueberry pancakes with fireweed syrup? Either way, you can count on a comfortable setting, friendly service, and a great breakfast to kick off your daily adventures.
Peace-and-quiet meets easy-access at this country-style B&B on 10 acres in the heart of the Mat-Su Valley.The Garden Gate’s owner, Karen Harris, started the B&B back in 2002 when she opened her own home to guests— and she has been gradually expanding the B&B ever since, with seven cottages and a duplex-style building in addition to the main house.

Between its handcrafted log furniture, creature comforts, and postcard views, Tonglen Lake Lodge radiates traditional elegance. Catering to a high-end clientele, it has the ambiance of a fly-in wilderness resort, but is only 10 minutes from the entrance to Denali National Park, and the full range of activities and tours offered in and around it. Along with tranquility, you’ll find an art gallery, an artisan bakery, a massage therapist, even a “canine resort” for your dog. The two-story, hand-scribed log lodge is itself a gallery radiating with artistic touches — handcrafted log furniture, handmade quilts, stained-glass accents, pottery, paintings, and sculpture. There’s nothing else like it, comfortable and intimate, with a lovely view of the Alaska Range.

Located just five minutes outside Seward, the Abode Well Cabins are tucked back amidst four acres of trees, and are part of the Seavey family homestead. The Seaveys are a family of Iditarod dog mushers, the same folks who operate the Ididaride Sled Dog Tours, one of Alaska’s most popular tours. Of the seven cabins, six are "couples cabins" (which include a kitchenette and sleep up to three) and one is a “family cabin,” which has a full kitchen, separate bedrooms, and sleeps up to eight.
