Superb

Quaint & rustic. Nice out of the way spot with a local watering hole serving great bar food right downstairs.

Walls are thin so if your neighbor’s noisy it could be an issue. For me though a baby crying for a couple minutes isn’t an issue!

I chose this property as a cabin get away and it really was a very small, crowded room where you had to crawl on the dir

that picture of a cabin is not the room. the room was an extremely small room over the bar.

Noisy, small, not clean, not a cabin,

This is an excellent stay to get away from the crowds of the city.

It’s comfortable and easy to get to. The view from the window is beautiful and either direction it is full of the Great Alaskan Landscape! Mountain ranges in the back and Inlet views in the front with the sounds of a creek on the side.

It was a little cold. Other than that everything was great!

Good location, good value for the money.

This is a good location for those arriving on evening flights to ANC, with next day activities in Whittier or Seward. You get part of the drive out of the way for an early start the next day.

Kind of primitive, but I slept like a rock after a long day of airline travel.

The best value in Alaska!

I really enjoyed staying at the Brown Bear. It is not fancy, but it is clean. Each room has a private bathroom with a shower. Probably the best value in Alaska. The Saloon had a great cheeseburger. Matt was very pleasant and talkative.

Nice

We had the cabin, very well equipped, but the staircase would be too steep for a child or older person. Nice size cabin, but no tv. Unfortunately we had very noisy neighbors, so we could not sleep during the night. The bed upstairs needs a new mattress. But it has a nice kitchen with everything but food in it and a nice size bathrooom

The mattress and steep staircase

Cozy and Kind!

I liked this property because the staff was exceptionally kind and the food below in the bar was also great. You get a lot for what you pay for. A great bed, shower, microwave, and coffee machine! It was super great in location, right next to a lot of hiking locations.

A Rustic Old America

I liked the rustic feel to the place. It had an old saloon vibe where the hotel rooms were above the bar and locals and traveller's made you feel welcome with banter and friendly chatter. I even stopped on the way back to Anchorage for lunch.

Exhausting in the very best way!! Amazing views, surrounded by mountains.

Incredibly comfortable bed and blankets. So comfortable, that I rode out the 6.1 Memorial Day earthquake with glee, then totally slept through the 4.? (on the Richter scale) aftershocks. I was also beautifully exhausted from the nearby hiking trails up the mountain, then down by the river. I'm a birder, so there were LOTS to see. Fantastic!! I had a bison brat with onions grilled brown and caramelized the way I like them and they were gracious enough to do that for me. It was salty and delicious!!

Me, because I was probably so distracted by the earthquake that I forgot to leave a tip for the housekeepers. I am mortified and I will mail something.

Great accommodations at a cheap price

No frills room that is above a well stocked bar that also has some good cheap eats. The bed is comfortable and the staff are very friendly!

No tv in the room and you can hear the chatter of people in the bar, but not necessarily a bad thing since the bar doesn’t stay open too late.

Simple Stay for a Training Gig

Was greeted kindly and promptly on arrival, super easy check-in/out. Plenty of hot water! The pooch was welcome. Bar noise was not too bad (I always have earplugs). Although small, private, never saw other guests. Great proximity to Girdwood, mostly fenced in park right across the hwy for the pooch to play ball. In my budget (unlike Girdwood).

It could have been a dash cleaner, found hair that wasn't mine :-I The bed could use an upgrade, felt a little taco-ed.
