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!

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.

Home away from home
What a wonderful find. The hosts were so accommodating and the homemade breakfast was wonderful. You really feel that you are at a home of a beloved relative. If I'm ever back in the area that would be my first choice of stay.

Lovely stay
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.

Owner was very accommodating and welcomed us upon a late arrival! Pleasant and welcoming! Self-serve coffee bar at our disposal. Breakfast was delightful and served at our convenience. Our room was private, large and had a comfortable king size bed. Also had a small refrigerator and microwave for our convenience. Easy access to highway and short drive to Palmer or Wasilla.

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.
