Alaska's Lake Lucille B&B

10/10 Excellent
"Great location near downtown Wasilla. Beautiful property very well maintained. The room felt like you are staying at your grandma's house. It was very homey. The breakfast in the morning was exemplary. Would definitely stay again. One thing Expedia needs to change is the check-in time. It is not limited to a 4:00-8:00 window. There is late checkin. Carol leaves your information posted on the front door so you don't need to rush to get there."

"We loved our stay here for our first trip to Alaska! Chris met us there when we arrived late into the evening due to flight issues. The place was very accommodating and beautiful with a beautiful view! We saw moose and calves every night. One evening a bear came to visit while we were in the hot tub. It was centrally located so that we could fish and site see in many spots. We drove about 3 1/2 hrs to Denali. We flew into Anchorage and was just a 45 min drive away. Highly recommend them and we will be back! Thank you!"
