If you are looking for a stay in a real Alaskan home, this is the place. The rooms are filled with true Alaska artifacts including a bear rug. The breakfasts are, however, the highlight of any stay. Carol cooks true alaskan recipes with local ingredients. Everything is delicious. You won't go away hungry. The rooms are spacious and very quiet... More

Carol runs a fabulous place at a great price with an amazing breakfast! Just a short drive from downtown anchorage the big bear is a great value with loads of authentic alaskan decor. I suggest the Toklat room and make sure that you save room for the salmon quiche or the home made waffle toppings.

The owner/innkeeper was very gracious, informative and served a wonderful breakfast. The room was comfortable except for the bathroom that was a converted closet with an accordian door that didn't close completely - a little clumsy and tight.

We stayed here at the end of a mid-summer Alaskan cruise/land vacation. The home was situated in an urban area close enough to the airport for convenience. Our room downstairs was quite large and included a sitting area with TV and a very nice bath with jetted tub and separate shower. It was clean and a nice touch were the... More

House was just a lovely place, good food and nice hosts. The neighbor hood was a bit rough as their seemed to be some drugs in the area. Strange goings on's around the street and local area. We made a wrong turn and got stuck behind a beautiful young girl and this black young man walked across the front of... More

This was our last night in Alaska after having stayed in b&b lodging for most of our 12 days. We stayed in an upstairs room with the ensuite bathroom where the lavatory and sink and small shower were accessed through folding doors. Small but functional. The upstairs had a sitting area and we did enjoy having a microwave and choice... More

We had a wonderful stay here. The bedroom, grizzly room, I think, was very comfortable with beautiful pictures on the wall. Bathroom was very small due to being a toilet, sink and shower fitted into a former closet. There was a wonderful guest room shared by all guests which had coffee, all kinds of tea, hot chocolate, popcorn, DVDs, books... More

Carol’s flowers and garden frame Big Bear. Her master gardener skills and knowledge come into the kitchen to blend with her master culinary arts. Carol is a superb baker as well as a cook. Her presentation of her food captures the visual beauty of Alaska. Big Bear is a living tribute to the state of Alaska. Her many display’s of... More
