The Main House
                                                   

Our historic Main House is one of four built by the Alaska Engineering Commission around 1916.  Kits for the construction were barged in from the outside.  The building project was part of an effort by the federal government to develop the southern terminus of what is now the Alaska Railway.

The house has been completely renovated and upgraded.  It features a living room, dining room, bath with shower, two bedrooms, each has a queen-size bed, and one has an additional twin bed.  There is also a newly remodeled fully equipped kitchen.  It can accommodate up to five people.  Wireless internet access, cableTV, DVD player, stereo, barbeque, and even a piano are available for your entertainment.
The Terrace Suite
                                                         

The Terrace Suite was added in 2006 and features a fully equipped kitchen, bath, dining area, and living room with views of Mt. Marathon to the west.  In addition, there is cableTV, DVD player, stereo, barbeque, and wireless internet access.  The Suite offers three bedrooms with views of Resurrection Bay and Mount Alice.  Two bedrooms have queen-size beds, and the third has two twin beds which can be made up into a king if desired.  

The Suite can accomodate up to six people.  

All Suite bedrooms have individual heat controls, closets, and heavy curtains to block the late (and early) Alaska sun, if needed.
