Susitna Place

We spent three nights here. Monica and Steve were great hosts - gave us suggestions for dinner, local attractions, etc., and a map to help us find our way. Breakfast was great! Fresh fruit, eggs/quiche, cereal, yogurt, pastries and more! The view from the community room is breathtaking, a gorgeous view of Susitna Mountain and the water. Located in a very quiet section of downtown and convenient to walk to restaurants, shopping, museums etc. The room was quiet, comfortable and had all the necessities including a hair dryer. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Fantastic views of the water, great location, welcoming hosts, delicious breakfasts, very comfortable beds, the owners thought of everything! We loved spending two nights here to end our Alaska vacation. What a fantastic find! We had a place to park our rental car. The deck had chairs to relax and read while enjoying the beautiful Alaska day - sunny and chilly. The hosts, Monica and Steve, were so nice and helpful. They gave us a lot of information about the area in addition to providing a great breakfast each morning. They also had beverages available in a little refrigerator for a dollar each. It was so nice to be able to put a dollar in a dish and grab a sparkling water or a soda and then go out on the large deck to relax. The B&B is very close to the start of the Tony Knowles Trail in downtown Anchorage. You can easily walk all around downtown from the B&B which we did. It was nice not having to worry about finding parking since we just left our rental car at the B&B. Highly recommend staying here!

We based ourselves here for 5 days of day trips out of Anchorage. The location is awesome, with an easy walk to anything in downtown. Its a lovely setting with views you can enjoy over a drink. Monica and Steve were fantastic with great hospitality and lovely breakfasts each morning. Highly recommended if you are looking for a nice place to stay

We really enjoyed our short stay here, I only wish we could've stayed longer than one night. This was a trip for extended family so we had three rooms and were impressed with all of them. I personally got to stay in one of the suites so I was blown away by the nice big bedroom with it's own deck. We had to be at the airport early the next morning and Monica was very gracious and got breakfast ready a bit early. I was expecting a standard continental breakfast but she really outdid herself and served a beautiful spread of delicious breakfast items. I will absolutely stay here again the next time I'm in Anchorage (if it's not sold out).

Upon entering, grab your breath . . it's gorgeous. The hosts are the best and the breakfast is over the top. The view out the dining area window is great and with a walk-out patio. It's not a far walk to the downtown area. There are only a few lunch/dinner restaurants nearer to the B&B, but on the second day we did find eating places closer to downtown. Overall, don't miss staying here if you don't want to stay in a hotel, or you are looking for something more personal. We stayed here two nights before a cruise. Very happy we found this place. We met some very interesting guests as well.

Susitna Place is the best B&B I have ever stayed in. The location is close to downtown and the train station. Monica is very accommodating and helped with advice for both local sites and state-wide travel. The breakfasts that she and Steve make are beyond expectations and she has a great pot of coffee ready first thing in the morning. The rooms and beds are comfortable and the view is amazing. This is a 5 out of 5 rating.

Every part of our stay here was perfect! The home is beautifully furnished and the view is soectacular. Our room was nice with a comfortable bed. Breakfast was perfect each morning. We highly recommend Susitna Place when you are visiting Anchorage.

Susitna Place is a hidden gem in Anchorage. The room are clean and well appointed with a fresh look upon walking in. The common area has a tremendous view of Cook Inlet. The breakfast catered to a variety of different palates. Thanks again for great Alaskan hospitality.

We enjoyed three nights in two different rooms here. The Susitna Suite is very spacious and has a nice deck with a great view. The St Elias room was a bit smaller but very accomodating. Both had large showers with great water pressure. The beds were very comfortable. Monica was helpful with recommendations about the neighborhood, museums, restaurants, etc and we had an awesome meal at one of the places she sent us to - Ginger. She was kind enough to pack a breakfast to go for us on a day we had an early train departure to Seward. Thank you for making our stay wonderful Monica!

We had an amazing one-night stay at this B&B. The location is great, and Monica provides everything you could possibly need. The view is amaaaaazing, and the rooms are great.

The best part of our quick stay in Anchorage! Monica is so kind. The breakfast set up is bountiful and represents the local fare well! The beds are sooooo comfortable, pillows/sheets, etc. The bathrooms are well stocked. But the best feature is their view: unobstructed view of the bay, across 2 mountain ranges, sunset perfectly situated between. It's not always sunny in Anchorage, but it was quite the greeting to us when we arrived.

We stayed on 9/10/22 and 9/14/22. I wish that we could have stayed longer. The view from the balcony was amazing! The rooms were spacious and well stocked. We had a very comfortable stay in each of the rooms. The common area is clean and nice, with plenty of room to sit for breakfast. The breakfast setup was phenomenal! Great food and coffee. Monica is a great cook. Also in the common area: books, games, puzzles, and mini refrigerators with bottled water and soda. Very easy to find and within walking distance of the downtown area. Monica was very welcoming, accommodating, and kind. Very communicative even before we arrived. She is a great host! She even let us borrow her Milepost book when we drove up to Fairbanks, it was a great read along the way. I highly recommend this establishment, a hidden gem in Anchorage.

Our group of nine stayed in St. Elias, Katmai and Illiamna rooms. All the rooms were very comfortable. The only thing to note is that you can hear foot traffic from the common room in the lower floor rooms (Illiamna and St. Elias), which was only an issue in the morning around breakfast time. The common deck was a perfect place to start or end the day with views of the water. Breakfast was equally delicious with a spread of pastries, fruit, sausage, hash browns, etc. It's about a 10-15min walk to downtown Anchorage as well as the coastal trail. Steve and Monica are fantastic hosts! Would definitely stay here again when in town.

We stayed here for one night only but wish we can stay for longer. The hostess Monica is very welcoming. We stayed at the Denali room, it has it's own balcony facing the ocean with amazing view of sunset ! The common area is nice and clean with large balcony facing the ocean as well. The location is perfect, 10 mins walk to downtown and lots of restaurants. Monica also packed us breakfast as we are leaving very early to catch bus to Seward. Highly recommend this little gem in Anchorage!

Monica, the owner, is absolutely wonderful. She knows Anchorage inside out. The house is perfect- spotless, beautifully, with a lovely view. Breakfast is delicious. We only wish it were closer! A bit of a hike from Massachusetts, but we are so very happy we found it for our time in Anchorage.

This place was great. It had clean rooms, a beautiful view, two large decks to relax on, amazing breakfast, and very gracious hosts. Wish we stayed more than one night, this place was my favorite from our trip.

Susitna Place B&B is a wonderfully unique, peaceful gem in Anchorage. Hosted by Monica H., with husband, Steve, the atmosphere exudes tranquility and harmony as perfectly as the spectacular views. This gracious, charming couple offer a remarkable breakfast and delightful conversation to start your day on the best of notes. Monica is constantly expanding her knowledge of things to do and places to see as she and Steve explore and exchange information with guests about new adventures. She is a knowledgeable resource. Monica is a genius at décor, adorning walls with art that accentuates magnificent natural features--such as Mt. Susitna ("Sleeping Lady")--seen through the large pane windows; displaying paintings and photographs of Alaskan wildlife in their habitat; and, selecting maps and references to inspire inquisitiveness about the rich culture and heritage of the 49th state. Susitna Place B&B lies in an enviable location between Anchorage's serene coastline and fun downtown attractions. Perched on a quiet bluff overlooking Knik Arm--one of Cook Inlet's two tidal branches that frame Anchorage to the west--Susitna Place is the perfect base camp for accessing the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail and its variety of scenic views and wildlife. Downtown Anchorage's shops, restaurants, and other attractions are equally accessible by foot. The Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center, Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, and a half dozen museums are short walks away. From the exceptionally appointed Susitna Suite and awesome views from it and the Denali Suite; to the spectacular vantage point of the upstairs common area & deck; to the cozy Illiamna, St. Elias, and Katmai Rooms with their special features; to the rare and coveted 4-space carport - Susitna Place B&B will not disappoint. --Scott & Trice, Nov 2020 & Feb 2021

This place is amazing. The location is great and the views are absolutely beautiful. The suite we had was so nice. Very clean and extremely comfortable with every little amenity you could want. The bed was really comfortable and we got a great nights sleep. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and Monica, the owner, was so kind and attentive. We will definitely stay here again if we're back in Anchorage.

Although we only stayed for one night, we found this little gem to be so personal and welcoming that we wished we could stay longer!. We arrived without chargers for our phones (having left them in our checked luggage), and Monica supplied us with some. I arrived without a toothbrush, and Monica gave me a new (packaged) toothbrush. She gave me some liquid night time (over the counter) medication so I could sleep better. And even tough we left very early the next morning she prepared to-go breakfast and lunch snack for us. All gratis -- That's what person generosity is about. Thank you Monica and Steve!

We stayed at Susitna Place on our first trip to Alaska. The trip started with the drama of my forgetting my passport, without which I could not board the cruise ship. A series of semi-adventures ensued, culminating in my passport being sent counter-to-counter on Continental Airlines from Austin to Anchorage, on the day I was to board the ship. The passport would arrive too late for me to catch the cruise company's shuttle from Anchorage to the ship terminal in Whittier, 67 miles away. Susitna Place's owner, Linda Boles, was majorly helpful and resourceful in several aspects, the most significant being arranging for my passage from Anchorage airport to Whittier after I pick up my passport at Continental's counter. This review would have been the same without that incident, however. Susitna Place is a clean, tidy, and beautiful bed-and-breakfast just off Anchorage's downtown. (It's about a 12 minutes walk at a leisurely pace to center of downtown.) The place has 8 rooms, many with private bathroom, some with shared bathrooms. The rooms are comfortably and cozily furnished. The majority of the bathrooms are newly renovated, clean, with modern and well-functioning fixtures, with ample supplies of towels, liquid soap, body wash, etc. The beds are comfortable. There is free WiFi (ping 59 ms, 0.26 Mb/s upload, 0.06 Mb/s download). The place was built as triplex, with 8 rooms, 5 w/ private bath, 3 without, 7 full bathrooms altogether. We shared the one suite with my cousin and her husband. The suite has a livingroom with a sleeper sofa and a bedroom; the bathroom is accessible from either the living or the bedroom. The "breakfast" part of the deal is above average, in my opinion. We enjoyed a reasonable spread of cereals, several kinds of artisan bread and muffins with butter, cream cheese, jams; breakfast pastries; good quality fruits: mango, blueberries, grapes, plums, etc. along with the usual OJ, tea, coffee, etc. The social aspect of mingling with other guests at breakfast was enjoyable, as with any B&B. The breakfast area has floor-to-ceiling windows, with a kick-@ss view of a beautiful Alaskan inlet. We would definitely stay here if we find ourselves in Anchorage again.

What a wonderful clean, fresh and beautiful bed and breakfast in a great location in Anchorage. The host and hostess are the best! I loved loved loved my stay there!!

If you're on vacation and you're not looking to wake up before 7AM, this is not the place for you (unless you have earplugs) If you're a heavy sleeper and the sound of doors constantly opening and closing, people chatting, and other noises won't bother you, then this place is perfect. Don't get me wrong-- the location is fantastic, walking distance to downtown and Linda keeps a very, very clean spot. It's just the minor detail that when on vacation, i like to sleep in and not be woken up by noises in the house. Great price, i might add.

As others have said, the location and view of the place are perfect. We were also able to check in early which was really helpful. I loved all of the light in the living room/common area and the array of board games and reading material. In addition to cable, they have HBO if that is important to anyone. The hosts, Steve and Monica are terrific, incredibly warm and friendly. I was feeling a little skeptical after booking Airbnbs throughout most of our trip but would highly recommend this place and if I'm in Anchorage again, will definitely be staying here

This place is great! Location! View! Staff! We spent our last night in Anchorage here and our first three at the Arctic fox (owned by the Wildflower Inn) across town. The view of the ocean from the living room and the outside patio is amazing. Great living room with wrap-around windows is really cozy and idyllic. The place is conveniently located to downtown and is in the good part of town. The Arctic Fox was decent and the breakfast was great but its NO comparison to Susitna Place.The view at the Arctic Fox is of the railway station and the industrial part of town. I highly recommend this place after spending 4 nights in Anchorage.

The Susitna place is above and beyond in every category. Great location, amazing hosts, beautiful view, comfortable spacious rooms and the best place to start and end your journey in Alaska. I have stayed there many times coming in and out of Anchorage and each time has been fantastic!

Husband and I stayed here for two nights and Linda's place was wonderful. Their living room has a wonderful view of the ocean! Their bed and breakfast was clean and felt like home. Breakfast in the morning was more than enough. Highly recommended !

We stayed here 1 night as transitioned from the Kenai Peninsula to Denali. We had a spacious, very comfortable and tastefully appointed room with a large deck overlooking the harbor. Everything was very comfortable. Proprietors were very helpful accommodating our need to depart early for the train in the morning by serving us breakfast a little ahead of schedule as well as ordering taxis, and then helping them find the property (it is rather secluded). This is a great place to stay whether for 1 night or several.

Super comfortable. Lovely large communal room and dining area with views of the inlet and sunsets! Our room also faced inlet and had a view as well from its own patio. Room very well appointed, as all of them appear to be. No noise from others in the front rooms where our friends and we stayed! Nice breakfast with lots of choices. Linda very welcoming and helpful suggesting places for dinner and sites to see. Tucked away in a totally quiet neighborhood yet short walk to restaurants and downtown. I will definitely stay here again!

Really nice hosts, clean rooms and good location. Would definitely stay here if I'm back in Anchorage

Great place. My wife and I were just here for 7 hours. Hosts were fantastic: Attentive and kind. Beds were comfortable. You share community bathrooms but this was fine. Breakfast in the morning was very good. If you don't want to pay the hotel price, you'll be very happy staying here.

Absolutely wonderful. In a downtown area that is overrun with cookie cutter tourist hotels and shops, this place is a great find. Tucked away on a quiet corner of N street, this is a beautiful home that overlooks Cook Inlet. There are about 8-9 rooms here, and I stayed in the Susitna Suite. It had a view of the inlet, a separate sitting area, king sized bed, and private bathroom. Everything was clean and fresh, and the owners gave us wonderful, friendly service. And the view from the living room cannot be beat. Highly recommend.

Linda and David are gracious hosts. They both are very helpful in giving us information about area attractions, other places in Alaska, and answering our questions.They make an excellent breakfast every morning, freshly prepared, with a nice diversity of items. Our room was spacious, clean, and nicely appointed with abundant closet and dresser space. The bathroom was also very nice, with a double sink, bright lights, and a good shower. This place is only a 10 to 15 minute walk to downtown to our favorite restaurants. Considering its location and amenities, the price was reasonable. Susitna is a winner and we highly recommend it to anyone.

Loved this place. Very clean, cozy and has a great view of the bay. The continental breakfast has a great assortment of fresh fruit, fresh breads, pastries and reindeer sausage. It feels like you're staying at a friend's house. When I go back to Anchorage, I will be staying here again.

Impressive! Stopped here with family on the last leg of a long Alaskan trip. This was perfect! Spacious, comfortable, clean, and it felt like home. Linda is a gracious host and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. If I'm ever in Anchorage again, this is where I'll stay.

Susitna Place was great! Linda was very friendly and sent an email ahead of time with directions to the B&B. She was also extremely helpful on the phone when I asked her a million questions about taxi vs. rental cars. She knew exactly the taxi fares to get to various places I needed to go and helped me to make a good decision on how I would get around. We were only in Anchorage overnight between our commercial flight and our air taxi, and Susitna Place made the perfect stop over. The room was immaculate and comfortable. After our long flight, my boyfriend and I slept very well. Linda was up even at midnight to greet us and get us settled in. Breakfast was very pleasant, anything you might want was there: fresh coffee, tea, juice, herb bread, pastries, sausage, cheeses, cereals, milk, yogurt, and fruit. The living and dining area overlooks the inlet. Linda gave us directions to walk downtown (10 minutes), so we were able to get a small amount of sightseeing in. For less than the price of a crappy hotel we had a comfortable and pleasant stay in Anchorage. I will definitely be back next year.

Great place! simple, clean, amazing views of the water, breakfast was excellent, comfortable beds, quiet. Nothin but good!

The place is super clean and very modern, actually more modern than what it appears on the pictures on Yelp. I wish the breakfast is a bit more fancy, maybe a hot egg dish, even just hot boiled egg with shells on, but I would still highly recommend this place to anyone.
