My husband and I just returned from our Alaska Land/Cruise vacation. During the land portion of our trip we spent two non-consecutive nights at Alaska's Natural Wonders. This is a large home on a nice sized lot near the Zoo. The house sits on the lot in such a way to provide lots of privacy.
We stayed in two different rooms:
The Majestic Mountains & Valleys which has a king bed and a twin in a little alcove area. The room also had a TV with DVD player. The room may be a little too plum for some folks - but no complaints here. Both beds were very comfortable, with nice color coordinated linens. The bath has a tub/shower combo, pedestal sink and shelves to store your stuff. Good water pressure, choice of softsoap or nice glycerin bar soap. Blow dryer is provided.
We also stayed in the Rivers & Streams which has a queen size bed and a separate room with two twin beds, a sofa sleeper and TV. The bath has a single sink with a large counter top, a garden window looking out the back yard and a large shower. This room has an exterior door that allows direct access to the hot tub and sauna. The amenities are the same in both rooms.
Upstairs is a huge (probably 1000 square foot) living room with many trophy mounts of moose, bear, and such. The community kitchen is bright and huge with a large table that can easily seat 12 or more. Breakfast one day was black bear sausage, bacon, french toast, and eggs. As a previous poster mentioned there is a coffee machine the produces various coffee, cappuccinos, hot chocolate and there are numerous syrups to customize your creation further. Breakfast the second day was at our request, bacon, eggs, and berry pancakes.
Adjacent to the large kitchen is a bright, light, gathering room with windows on three sides overlooking the deck and treed yard. There are two high tables with chairs for guest to gather and visit prior to breakfast or drink coffee and read the paper.
The home is well maintained and kept clean. The guest rooms are in the lower level, the owners suite and public areas are on the second level. This allows everyone privacy. The guest rooms are cutely decorated with an abundance of stuffed animals, knick-knacks, and floral arrangements.
The owner allows guest to use laundry facilities at no cost - a great plus after 8 days on the land!
We had a very enjoyable stay.
