Carol does an outstanding job at making travelers feel at home. She has a wealth of knowledge about early Alaska and is eager to share it. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and the separate living room much appreciated. Her breakfasts are outstanding! I stayed in the winter, but would love to come back and see the garden in full bloom.

Our visit was great at Big Bear B&B. It was a special trip to Alaska and get to see our first two grandsons. We were treated like one of the family and would recommend Big Bear B&B to anyone who enjoys a family atmosphere.
A wonderful place to learn about Alaska

Carol is a wonderful host and she is a wealth of alaska history. Her breakfast are fantastic, and almost all her waffle toppings are from her yard. She is a great cook and a pleasant lady to be around. I doubt I will ever stay in a hotel again. I can't wait for spring so I can see her beautiful yard in bloom!

Carol’s flowers and garden frame Big Bear. Her master gardener skills and knowledge come into the kitchen to blend with her master culinary arts. Carol is a superb baker as well as a cook. Her presentation of her food captures the visual beauty of Alaska. Big Bear is a living tribute to the state of Alaska. Her many display’s of Alaskan art, native crafts, big bear skin and various ivory pieces blend with her antiques to show her creativity. Carol is truly a steward for the state of Alaska. I encourage everyone visiting the state to treat themselves to Big Bear hospitality.
