Loved staying here, would definitely recommend. Very clean and close to town. Amy was super friendly and gave my boyfriend and I recommendations on where to explore in Valdez. The kitchen and common areas were also a pleasure, with breakfast food included. 10/10!

This is a very warm and cozy stay. The room and bathroom were very well set up. There was a common area to eat at. We ended up heating up food from the local Safeway for lunches and dinners and there was an assortment of breakfast options available. Valdez is a small town so it is easy to take a break from local sightseeing and come back to rest and recharge.
We drove in from Wrangell–StElias NP and left via the ferry to Whittier.

Please dont call this a bed and breakfast. Its more of an extra room in a basement with a box of cereal.
***No air conditioning****
It was pretty warm and there is no thermostat in the room or ducting for that matter.

Good sized room with private bath. Huge common area with living room, dining area and kitchen. A bonus was the free laundry with complementary detergent and softener. Although all four rooms were in use I felt as if I had the place to myself. That’s a good thing! This property had to be the most immaculate B and B, hotel, motel or inn that I’ve ever stayed at. Well stocked with all the amenities that you’d expect. I found the price to be very reasonable, less then hotels that didn’t offer everything that The House on the Rock did.

The property owners are very nice and helpful, location is good and convenient. It's clean and have a dinning room to share. but the bed room is very small, we have one queen bed and one twin bed, the bed is so small and short, I didn't have good night sleep at all. there are 4 units in the house and they are all very close to each other, we feel a bit too much into other people's privacy. it will be good for a family rent the whole thing but not for 4 groups people living side by side.

Very clean, and the owners were very friendly. The place was well kept and the breakfast items provided were plentiful and there was s great variety of choices. A few of the experiences, however, left a bad taste in my mouth. Checking in was not smooth. The person who was in charge was on a phone call that resulted in us waiting almost a half hour before we could go in our room. The replacement person (another family member) didn’t know which room was ours and could not operate the credit card machine. It took two more tries over two days before my credit card was able to be processed. Once was because they hadn’t properly charged up the machine. The dryer door kept popping open, so I sat and babysat it, taking an hour and a half to partially dry our family’s laundry, which never completely dried.. None of these things are deal breakers, but it’s the little things that stick with you. it was fine but we probably won’t stay again.

The folks that own the place are really nice and made the stay very enjoyable. The house is very clean and the rooms have plenty of space. It was often so quiet in my room, I thought I was the only one there.

Terrible mattresses, one cupped, one hard as a rock. Lots of thumping on the ceiling from the owners upstairs while I was trying to sleep on the beds as well. Mild evangelism, pamphlets and prayers. Some though might like that, but not for us. Otherwise, you can tell that they worked pretty hard when they set the place up to try to make it nice. Breakfast supplies were more than ample.
