    This place is the best you will find. It immerses you in the midst of the "real Alaska!" The cottages are extremely nice, clean, and well appointed. The environment is wooded, quiet, and scenic, and the hosts are very friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and eager to make your stay a relaxing endeavor. If your goal is to find luxury away from home, and to "get away from it all" for a while, then this is the B&B for you.
