Just stayed one night, but we had a fabulous time. Dennis and Pat are wonderful hosts. They helped make discounted reservations for a Kenai Fjord tour, explained the history of the salmon runs and the lake, and pointed out an eagle's nest just outside the home. Breakfast was tasty, and the rooms were clean. The linens were is great shape... More

The minute Ginny greeted us, it felt like we were walking into our home. She never hesitated to sit down and chat with guests in the sitting area--this was also while a scrumptious goodie was baking in the oven. We were in the Bear Suite so it was just down the hall from the sitting and dining areas Our room... More

What a wonderful B&B. We stayed here with our children and were delighted with everything. Ginny made us feel welcome and was very accommodating. She even held breakfast for us one morning when we were late coming back from an early AM kayak on the lake. The ice cream sauce was delicious and worth every calorie!!! This was a perfect... More

So nice to hear from our guests that we met their expectations and more! Children can be tough to travel with at times, but we offer some good activities to enjoy outside on the property. The kayaks and canoe are a big family hit for lots of our guests. It's nice these guests gave the lake a morning paddle -... More

What a great deal! A beautifully decorated, comfy, quiet room with a private bath in a lovely home; a back porch for sitting and enjoying the solitude of the lake and eagle watching; big, home-made hot breakfasts; the use of kayaks and canoes for the asking; and big hand-dipped ice cream bars before bed served up by the very social...

Kim - I too so enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for the comments on the Lakeside Suite, our largest guest room, with the private bath down the hall. We have done our best to make the short walk to the bath as convenient as possible. Both with offering our signature bathrobes and labeling the bathroom for Lakeside guest... More

my partner and I and sister and brother in law stayed in many nice B and Bs while in Alaska. Bear Lake Lodging is special. The suite over the lake gave us a wonderful view of what became my own mountain. The beds were fantastic. The ambiance of the lodge perfect. But what made it really really special were two... More

The mountain that greeted you out the window from the "Resurrection Peak" Room was the mountain of the same name. We do get compliments on the comfort quality of our beds - they all have memory foam toppers on them, making for a great nights sleep. Happy you were treated to those comforts and thanks for noticing! Our staff does... More

Bear Lake Lodgings is a great place to stay. We stayed for 3 nights in a comfortable suite overlooking the lake. The location and breakfasts were perfect. But, the best part for us was early morning kayaking on the lake . We saw many bald eagles and the view of snow capped mountains is unsurpassed. This place is a hidden... More
