Bear Necessities Alaska

Kids loved the space after 2 weeks of hotel rooms.

Photos were a bit misleading. Smaller and tighter. Small bathroom sink. No frypan. Pizza sheet missing. Otherwise it was a nice place to stay.

See above

The shower was great - hot and good pressure. Everything was clean and tidy. The owner was super friendly and helpful answering questions, advising on places to eat etc. She also loaned me a coffee maker to make hot water for tea.

Fun cabin, attention to a lot of little and important details. The hostess, Cynthia was awesome. She was very helpful and managed to solve a mixup with the booking.

Beware if you are going up the stairs not to bang your head on the beam. Can also happen when you are coming down.... might be worth sticking some bright colorful tape on the beam to warn those who taller than young kids.

Good location. Very nice washroom/bath house.

I'm not trying to be mean just fyi. Host was nice. This is a place for cabins not camping. Tent sites are walk-in. The sites are right next to each other and are not at all flat or suitable to pitch a tent. There are no tables. The fire pits are communal. The bathroom has one toilet in the shower room for everyone. City and State campgrounds are half the price.

The owner was pleasant and communicative. She was honest about some of the quirks of the cabin and was interested in how our stay went. GPS directions to the place were a little fouled by the owner gave us better directions which worked out fine.

This was basically a refurbished fishing shack. The new owner did an OK job redoing the insides but it is very small for a "two bedroom" and the bathroom is attached to one of the bedrooms. For three adults it makes it awkward to get up and walked through another tiny bedroom where people are sleeping to use the restroom in the middle of the night. Might be OK for a family with kids, it would be a place to lay your head. Pretty small for anything else. Also issues with the plumbing and electricity, which the owner warned us about once we got there. We didn't need much in the way of care and comfort. This place was the "bear essentials" for us. For others, might not be a big deal.

very nice lady runninig facility. BUT, I had to go elsewhere for the two nights. I was charged by you for something I could not use.

This was just a tent site. You charged me for two nights but I did not have a tent and could not stay. Had to ffind other accomadations.
