Best for

This B&B is best for travelers who value personable hosting and a breakfast-forward stay, as reviews consistently praise the friendly, helpful hosts and excellent multi-course breakfasts. It also suits visitors who want a central Juneau base near major landmarks like the Alaska State Capitol (about 80 m) and the Juneau-Douglas City Museum (about 32 m), including cruise travelers looking for a convenient downtown location.

Travel tips

Use the Alaska State Capitol and Juneau-Douglas City Museum as easy navigation anchors—they’re within a block of the inn. Plan time for breakfast: guests describe it as a multi-course experience and a chance to meet other travelers. Popular day trips like Mendenhall Glacier (about 17.3 km) and Eaglecrest Ski Area (about 6.7 km) will require transportation beyond the immediate downtown area.

What guests say

Guests consistently praise the warm, accommodating hosts and the high level of personal service, including help with local recommendations and reservations. Breakfast is a frequent highlight, described as outstanding and more elaborate than a typical quick continental meal. Comfort is another recurring theme, with reviewers noting cozy rooms and very comfortable beds, along with the property’s historic, period-decor character. Location is repeatedly cited as a major strength for downtown Juneau and cruise access; the main downside mentioned is that it can feel expensive, though some guests still consider it worth the price.
