I'm the first to review, and I live in Tucson and I'm not a member! Woot! Exciting!…read more I was there for my cousin's wedding last week. I love AK. I was born in Anchorage, but I don't remember much of it. Let me just say that Alaska is the most gorgeous place in the world. The venue was perfect for a wedding. The bartender was a gem, and let me leave my car there when I drank too much bubbly, the view was incredible, the grounds outside were perfect, there was booze galore (I shouldn't mention that twice, but I was on vacation!) I'm pretty sure I would be a member if I lived there. I'm pretty sure I'll be back when I come to visit! I hope my bartender lady is still there. She was amazing. Huge fan guys! Huge. Don't change a thing! Ohhhh wait. -_- The chef guy was cranky. I'm not docking a star because of him. I know he thinks he's Gordon Ramsey. I get it.

There's a nice boardwalk that encircles the pond which is filled with lily pads. As we walked around the lake we saw baby ducks swimming which just added to the serenity of the nature outside. Inside the venue there's a kitchen/bar and an upstairs area which was used by the bridal party to get ready - and hide from the groom! Views from the balcony are just beautiful! Flowers, trees and mountains. It's really breathtaking! You are responsible for cleaning up and table decor. The owners were very kind! My favorite thing was he fact that with the customers consent, they will donate the center pieces to the nursing home nearby.

Let's start this out by saying.... This is a private club during normal hours…read more However, this venue is available to rent and is perfect for metal, punk shows as well as a downtown throw down spot. The rent is reasonable and the owners are very accommodating. The upstairs is available for private events and features a small stage, sound system, kitchen, and patio. Great place to have a kick ass party without pissing off the neighbors.

My family and I were looking for extended-stay lodging from Feb 1st - April 1st 2021. We were…read moremoving to Alaska from the lower 48, and needed a place to live while in the process of purchasing a house. I had contacted Karen Harris, the owner of Alaska Garden Gate BnB, in December 2020 and secured our reservation for an extended stay. Karen informed me in late January 2021 that it was possible the property would sell during our reservation dates, but that she was doing everything she could to ensure current guests could stay as long as possible, and that future reservations were honored. We checked into the Cottonwood Cottage on Feb. 1st. 2021 with no problems. During our stay, we were given notice that both property appraisals and inspections were taking place and were asked for our patience and understanding. I had email Karen multiple times to clarify our reservation and status of the property's ownership. Karen again responded that the contract and sale had not been finalized and she would let me know. On the morning of February 10th, Karen called to informed me that we needed to vacate the property within 24 hrs due to the sale of the property. Karen stated that the new owners were not going to continue with a BnB business, and that they required all long-term tenants and short terms guests to leave immediately. We complied with the abrupt request and thankfully found alternative lodging the same day. However, we were subsequently charged extra nights through Feb 13th. While a refund was provided for those extra nights; based on Alaska Garden Gate BnB's February 19th Facebook post, they are actively taking reservations through March 16th. While Alaska Garden Gate BnB will no longer be an active business come March 16th, I would not recommend any individual to do current or future business with an owner and company who treats their guests with such blatant disrespect and deceit.

We checked before arriving in, on check-in timings and other details to make sure we get the keys and other things in case if we get delayed. We took room for 4 people, so it came with double bunk beds with one bottom queen with rest single beds. Room was decent side with modern bathroom in an apartment style. Also, it came with shared kitchen with table, microwave and coffee maker. Dining hall was set up in a ballroom environment with round tables and chairs around it. Also, outdoor dining area is also available. Homemade breakfast is served: * hot oatmeal and blueberries with additional side toppings available - nuts, almonds, sugar, raisins and cranberries - loved it ! * egg omelette with potato stuffed - again loved it * muffins - not well cooked, felt like it was under baked and needs more cooking Other than that, regular store-bought bread with butter, jam was also served. The only complaint is in the morning there were too much noise as rooms are layed out next to each other with very little space which can be annoying if you decide to sleep in little more than others, we can hear people shouting and bathroom noise as well. We would totally come in here any time during our next Alaska trip and recommend it to others.

This is a pretty great theater. Saw two plays on back-to-back weekends…read more It didn't feel like there was a bad seat in the house. I sat in both the front area and the back and it was easy to see and hear in both spots. There is only one bathroom so the ladies line gets pretty long at intermission. There are no ushers so finding your seat can be a little confusing, especially the first time. There are snacks for sale and I didn't see any specific signs saying no food or drink...though my understanding of theater etiquette implies no food or drink...so that's interesting and worth a little extra observation the next time.

I love that they don't exclusively sell vintage, they also curate local artists wares so there is a nice blend of retro and new. The vibes in this shop are also great, I never feel weird browsing around or asking questions, and the folks behind the counter are always very helpful and kind. The prices tend to vary based on what you're buying, but to me seem very fair. Overall I would definitely recommend stopping by, you'll probably find something you didn't know you needed!
