    We had a great stay in this spacious apartment! The bed was really comfortable, the apartment was very large and the breakfast was outstanding. The best location to relax after a crazy Denali backpacking trip. We will definitely try to stay here...

    It was like home away from home. Access to private kitchen and dining area was something we particularly liked. We didn’t do any cooking- but just to be able to heat things and make coffee when we needed was very convenient. Heather was kind,...

Heather & Doug Johnson
Completely private spacious 710 sq. ft. suite sleeps 4 persons comfortably, great for families! It includes a bedroom (queen), private bath, comfortable living room and dining area with your own entrance. Clean, quiet and close to downtown. Our desire is to create a country feeling in the middle of the city. Our "urban farm" includes chickens, bees, a greenhouse and vegetable gardens along with beautiful seasonal flowers. We will do our best to make your stay pleasant, relaxing and filled with the warmth of our hospitality.
Your hosts, Heather and Doug Johnson, are excited to share their home and love of Alaska with you. Doug is the fourth generation of his family to live in Alaska. Doug's family came to this great land from Sweden in 1898 to mine gold in Nome. Heather, on the other hand, came from the tropics. A third generation kama'aina (local) from the Big Island of Hawai'i, Heather came to Alaska in 1976 and immediately fell in love with the land and its people. Together they share a love of travel and adventure and have an appreciation for what travelers need.
The Johnson family home was built in 1958. Doug was three years old when he moved from his 5th Avenue home to where we currently live on West 20th Avenue, which was then considered the boondocks and great moose hunting grounds (moose still wonder into our yard). Our home was remodeled in 1998. After our children moved out to pursue their university studies, we decided to renovate a space for fellow travelers and officially opened Gardenside Bed and Breakfast in 2012.
