This was a very quiet area with close access to the highway. The owners were hospitable and had considerable Alaskan knowledge. Breakfast was nice. Some people might be a little bothered by the chickens crowing in the morning but we enjoyed the small farm feel it gave to our stay. Would stay here again if we were needed an overnight stay again in the Wasilla area.

Host was very welcoming and helped us to dry our wet boots.That was so sweet of her! The room is spacious and decorated in a theme befitting of Alaska and the outdoors—pictures of wildlife, mountains, and of course, Denali. The quilt is olive green, muted brown, and beige with a border of moose, evergreens, and mountains. But in the corner on a good-sized antique table, there is a flower arrangement of roses. The floor is Pergo. The bathroom is also good-sized. The living room has animal heads and skins. The dining room overlooks the mountains, including Twin Peaks. Everything was great except the breakfast not exceptional like most B&B's. Pancakes were spongy and syrup was not real maple syrup, but eggs and sausage were good.

Thank you for staying with us. I'm sorry the sourdough pancakes weren't a hit with you, they certainly do have a different texture. If you're ever in our area again, give us another try and i'll make something else! I hope the rest of your time in Alaska was everything you hoped it would be.

Gateway Overlook was a wonderful property to stay at. Amazing mountain views. terrific breakfast and the room was very large with private bathroom, king sized bed, 2 sitting chairs, table/chairs. Very large room-felt like our own personal apartment! Hosts were wonderful and very helpful with restaurant suggestions. Thank you!

Hostess was amenable to our needs. We had an early meeting, so she was up to get our breakfast ready at an early hour. She has chickens and turkeys, so we had fresh eggs. Wifi was good, too. Pretty close to eating and shopping in both Wasilla and Palmer.

Spacious, comfortable room with king size bed. Tasty breakfast including home made muffins and fresh eggs from her chickens. (Kathy was very attentive to a dietary need). Very quiet street with little traffic. Convenient parking in the driveway of the home. Beautiful view of the valley below just across the street from the house. Turkeys and chickens roam in the yard so are fun to watch. Kathy was very friendly and offered many helpful ideas for things to see around the area, recommended restaurants as well. There are quite a few steps up to the bedroom, so would not recommend for anyone with mobility issues. Otherwise, a nice room for a couple, including a crib in the room for an infant or toddler.

Amazing view. I qas not aware that I would be staying with the home owner.They were very nice but with all the stuffed animals and animal head in the great room and on the stairs was a little uncomfortable. The bed sheets smelled like the were dried more than a day after they were washed and smelled a little moldy. Like a gym locker. Besides that a wonderful home cooked breakfast.

An incredible experience! We strongly recommend you stay and meet your host, Cathy. We felt we were visiting a home, full of love and comfort. We learned so much about sustainable living..ate eggs from Cathy s chickens. Got recommendations for anything we could think of. Salivated over the trips the family has taken. Everything was clean orderly warm and fuzzy. Oh and the views. Oh the views! I think we want to come back to Alaska just to stay there again and catch up.

Perfect! From the time we arrived until our goodbye, our time there was absolutely perfect. Kathe, our host was so kind and offered such hospitality. As we settled into the lovely home, she answered all our questions about the area. She and her husband were full of such wonderful knowledge. The guest room was so comfortable and spacious. The bed was the most comfortable bed ever! The next morning, due to our time change, we were up and about to leave earlier than expected. But Kathe still made us a most delicious homemade breakfast. We absolutely loved every moment here. The view is spectacular but the interaction with this lovely couple was unforgettable.
