Perfect stay in Kodiak. I walked into a beautifully clean room and comfy bed. I had just gotten off a research vessel so being able to do laundry and have a car for touring Kodiak was a treat. Thank you Lee and Annie. I will definitely stay again if I’m ever passing through.

A great little place to stay in Kodiak. Downtown is totally walkable from the property, including the museums, visitor center and Marketplace. Plus, anything not walkable is covered - you get a zippy little Fiat to get around. The hosts are friendly and helpful - overall an excellent stay! I’ll be back.

The room was very comfortable and clean, centrally located, and within walking distance of several great restaurants and museums. Lee and Annie were wonderful hosts, check in/check out were easy and straightforward, and the addition of the car was a fantastic deal! I would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable location to stay in Kodiak.

Fantastic location and fantastic host

I had a great stay at the BNB. Hosts were available for anything I needed and the room was very clean. I slept incredible every night on the very comfortable bed. Highly recommend. Such a treat that it came with a little car for me to explore - or just get out of the rain.

Comfortable studio and great location

This studio was comfortable and was located close to restaurants. The only reason we’re rating it as 4 stars is because we didn’t realize breakfast was not included or that other services were offered by the owners. If you book this place, ask the owner about the other services such as boating and fishing. Overall, great place to stay!

Hello Mia, Thank you for your review. It is a pity that our Web Page isn't posted once you book through VRBO or AirBNB so you would see all we offer besides our rooms. Normally we visit with our guests several time when they are here but we also don't want to interfere with their privacy either. Lee and Annie

Great location nice property

I was in Kodiak for a conventional at the KANA marketplace - I couldn’t have been located ina. More perfect location. I didn’t have to use a car once - even in the rain - I was too close to everything to justify driving! Property was very accommodating, very clean, very quiet. Host was SUPER AWESOME to deal with!

A bed n breakfast with no breakfast, a unit with no sun blockout shades or adequate noise insulation

We expected a room with two queen beds, got a room with one bed and a hard cot. The traffic noise from the street outside made it impossible to sleep until midnight when the cars stopped driving by. Hard to sleep with no solar shades or curtains and the sun is out for 20 hours a day. The owner did pick us up and drove us back to the airport as promised but later inferred we should pay him $25 for each trip when the rental car we had agreed to rent wasn’t available the first day we were there. We were finally reimbursed for the one day’s car rental after protesting with the owner. The location was great, it was clean, and they had a clothes washer and dryer they let us use, which was nice. We just couldn’t get much sleep between the traffic noise and lack of blackout curtains of some kind.

Here is Larrys text to me the day after they arrived. "Good morning Lee. We slept in this morning and since Maggie had a good nights sleep we decided to stay in our room after all. The cover on the door works well and the noise from the street is minimal after midnight. Thanks for your help."

Amazing visit

A spectacular stay with the greatest host. We failed to rent a car in Kodiak, but Lee was quick to solve our problems. He also took us on an unforgettable boat ride. The room was perfect and we can’t wait to return. Highest recommendations for a wonderful experience in a special part of the world.
