Parkside Guest House - Anchorage, Alaska

Linda Jones

Our stay at the beautiful Arts and Craft Parkside Guest House was outstanding! Our room was spacious, clean, and wonderfully decorated. We also had access to a large common living area right across the hall. Carley, our host, was very accomodating, making sure we were well-fed and comfortable, even doing laundry for us while we were on a tour! Breakfast was a treat with all of her homemade options. She even packed us a lunch for our tour! We would highly recommend this bed and breakfast for your stay in Anchorage!

We stayed two nights prior to heading to Camp Denali. The Guest House is an easy 10-15 minute walk to downtown restaurants and is located across the street from a park. This well-appointed home is a peaceful retreat, and the guest room was exceptionally comfortable. Our host, Carly, was knowledgeable and helpful in acquainting us with the home and providing restaurant guidance. She prepared a wholesome and tasty breakfast even on the day that we had an early train to catch. The house has strong wi-fi and self-service laundry facilities. We hope to be able to stay at Parkside Guest House when our future travels take us to Anchorage.

My son and I spent several nights at the Parkside Guesthouse. The craftsman design and furniture were lovely, and our basement room with a private living room was spacious, quiet, and immaculate. The host, Carley, made delicious breakfasts each morning with fresh fruit and homemade yogurt, granola, and pastries. We were also fortunate to have conversations with the owners while they were in town. Carley gave us excellent suggestions for activities to do in Anchorage and day trips nearby. She even lent us a can of bear spray for hiking and helped us dry out some soggy clothes in the boiler room:-) We hope to visit again!

An incredibly wonderful place to stay. Beautiful house - super clean & spacious with a fabulous location that is within walking distance to downtown restaurants and shopping + great place to run or workout in the park. But Carley, the hostess, turns this house into a home and makes this place so special.

She spoiled us with delicious breakfasts (including baking me gluten-free muffins from scratch - and the best breakfast on-the-go when we had an early morning departure), as well as laundry and great conversation. Parkside Guest House is a true gem!

We've stayed here a number of times - time to write a review:||When I travel I look for beauty and education, in lodging as well as activities. I happen to love and appreciate the elegance and functionality of Craftsman homes. This one is NOT "pompous" as noted in one review; it is understated and lovely throughout. All through Covid Carley persevered in reminding us to put on our masks - annoying at times, but necessary and medically appropriate (we're both physicians). The house is always fresh and immaculate and breakfasts are perfect - I prefer high quality continental breakfasts to copious piles of heavy fare. The location is very convenient.

My husband and I stayed here for one night, then 10 days later we returned for 2 nights. Carley is a pleasant, friendly, helpful hostess. On our second visit she impressed me when she remembered that I needed an additional towel and that I prefer to drink tea.||||Our room and the house were always clean and beautiful. Carley was flexible with breakfast times, which by the way, were delicious. She had fresh fruit, homemade granola and home made yogurt, as assortment of teas, and a homemade coffee cake/ pastry each day.||||We had 3 different destinations for our trip, and The Parkside Guest House worked out wonderfully as a home base for us. We were able to store some of our luggage and clothes when we left the first time. We returned 4 days later just to switch out some clothes and boots. Even though we weren’t spending the night at this point, Carley invited us to relax at the house until we had to leave for our flight.||||Then when we returned for the final visit, we were able to wash clothes and repack everything. Carley graciously offered to put our clothes in the dryer while we went out to explore the city for the day.||||Th Guest House is easily within walking distance of the museum, the Saturday festival and many restaurants. And if you are staying at The North Face Lodge or Camp Denali, they offer a dis punt at the Guest house.

We're already planning our return visit to this beautiful guest house. The home has been meticulously finished in the Arts & Crafts style, and no detail has been overlooked. Despite the polished design that is apparent everywhere, the home is extra comfortable and welcoming. We stayed here for a few nights after a camping trip and it was a relief to be able to settle in, do some laundry, browse the library shelves, linger over breakfast, and laze around by the fireplace. The hospitality is perfectly friendly, without being overbearing or intrusive. This property would be especially perfect for a larger party who wishes to take all three bedrooms, because then you could occupy the entire house and even arrange for family dinners together in the comfortable dining room.

Parkside is a stunning craftsman style bungalow within walking distance of Glacier Brewhouse and my other favorite restaurants. The rooms are spacious and lovely. Breakfast was wonderful and Carly, the manager was great!
