Alaska Garden Gate B&B and Cottages
-
Enjoy soaring mountain and glacier views from our cottages and guest apartments.
The Luxury Cottages have King beds and flat screen TVs in the bedrooms.
From the B&B and Cottages, the sweeping view looks right out at the Knik Glacier, which cascades down from the Chugach mountains. The view extends 270 degrees from Hatcher Pass and the Talkeetna Mountains, to Matanuska Peak over Palmer, to Knik Glacier, to Pioneer Peak (6600 feet, the tallest in our area), descending down from alpine to tidal along the Knik Arm. It's not unusual to see several weather systems in action as cold air masses against the mountains while the valley floor is warmer. Every day is dramatic and like a movie out your window!
Each cottage or guest apartment has a well-appointed kitchen. Generous continental breakfast baskets are in your kitchen so you can enjoy breakfast whenever you like.
The Luxury cottage living rooms have outstanding views of the glacier and mountain ranges, as well as fireplace with flat screen TV/DVD and kitchenettes. The bathrooms have an oversized jacuzzi tub and large shower.
The complete kitchen in Forest Haven offers couples the chance to cook-in, which can be nice on a romantic getaway or handy when staying for several days.
Living rooms with flatscreen TVs, fireplaces, and views make our B&B a comfortable place to relax between adventures.
The Blossoms Guest Apartment has a comfortable and spacious living area, as well as full kitchen. It's a great choice for families, since the bedroom is separated with a door in this roomy apartment.
The Forest Haven Guest Apartment has a rustic, woodsy feel, with large picture windows out to the wildflowers, birch forest, and the grand mountains.

4.0 out of 5Nice place with great view
March 26, 2013
This was a nice little place run by very friendly, helpful people. The view was great, the rooms were tidy, and continental breakfast, left in fridge and microwave-ready, was quite good. Rooms feel a little on the small side for some reason (owner actually said they wished they'd built them bigger), but this was a comfortable, quiet place to stay. To use TV in bedroom, you must reach around and point remote toward kitchen. Overall, I enjoyed the privacy of the cottage, and the stay was quite nice.

Thoroughly loved the cottage I stayed in. Delicious breakfast and quiet comfort!! The rate was very fair and appreciated the breakfast being placed in my cottage in the evenings so I could eat at my convenience. Beautiful view from bedroom of surrounding snow capped mountains. Looking forward to my business travels taking me back to Wasilla, Alaska because I know a great place now to stay!!

This was a great B&B, great Food, I really enjoyed it. I recomended to all my friends who have dogs that run agility. I probably should not have done this, as now there will be no room for me when I come back down for my next competition.

We spent two separate nights at beginning and end of trip. One in a cottage and one in an apartment. Both were very clean and comfortable. The apartment is larger with more room to spread out. Loved the whirlpool tubs. Breakfast was delicious. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

October 01, 2012
Some clients may not care for quiche for breakfast, but I thought it was yummy. Their was hair and lint behind the toilet seat and also on the lip of the bathtub tile. The caulking was separating and was at eye level when you sat in the tub. The night we slept there was a lot of wind, however the sound machine was available and was helpful in drowning out the wind and was very peaceful! It wss reassuring that I was able to bring my dog and appreciative that I could... thank you
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'm surprised to hear that the bathroom was not as clean as you would have liked. I take pride in my cleaning, so I apologize that it was not up to my standards or yours! Each morning, the breakfast basket has a different entree to warm up in your microwave, such as quiche, breakfast burritos or omlettes. If the egg entree is not your dish, there are a variety of other items such as fresh fruit, yogurt, muffins or pastry, and juice. We invite our guests to pick whichever parts they will enjoy, any or all!4.8 out of 5Great place to stay.

We enjoyed our 2 night stay. This is a great place to stay and we wish we could of stayed for more nights. There are things to do and see in this area and our all time favorite Alaska trip was to the Knik Glacier Day Tour in Palmer.
