My fiancé and I recently stayed at the Wildflower Inn in the Lupine Suite during our trip to Anchorage over the winter holidays and we had a lovely experience! Larry and Allen and fantastic hosts and we chatted with Larry every morning over breakfast about our possible activities for the day.
The Lupine Suite was actually two separate rooms - the first one had a very comfortable king bed and the second room (not attached but you are the only people up that set of stairs) has a futon in case you need somewhere for the kids to sleep. It was SO helpful having the second room so we could spread out and use that as a staging area (you have so many layers during the winter)! The other room up that set of stairs is your bathroom. The shower had plenty of hot water and while the sink is very small, there is a good amount of counter space around it! Lots of fluffy, soft towels were provided.
We LOVED our breakfasts! They had bread for toasting, bagels, English muffins, fruit, salami and some cheeses, oatmeal, Greek yogurt with nuts and granola and honey, orange juice, coffee, tea and probably more that I’m forgetting! Larry also made us eggs one day and an eggy pancake thing another day and both were tasty! Like most B&B’s the selection probably changes with the seasons/what’s available but it will always be good! If you have any dietary restrictions just let Larry know in advance!
They have one parking spot off I street and one parking spot off 13th street. There was also free street parking and a smaller independent grocery store (where you can get cappuccino and other coffee drinks) across the street. Just 2 blocks away you can visit Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop which also has coffee, baked goods,...

Wildflower Inn popped up in the usual internet search along with the usual hotels we are so familiar with in Anchorage. The reviews were very good and price was reasonable so I thought to give it a try. SO glad we did! It was a very nice place, great breakfast and Larry’s hospitality was fantastic...and he speaks German! We aren’t tourists, but the location is easy walking distance to downtown. They operate another place in Anchorage called Arctic Fox Inn and I’m sure it’s just as good. I would highly recommend...
Read moreWe stayed here in the middle of our trip to Alaska. The house was very clean, and our room in the basement was nice and dark once we closed all the blinds which was the first time we had that experience with the sunsets around 11pm that time of year. The hosts were both very friendly and accommodating as our travel plans changed and we ended up dropping off luggage much earlier than anticipated, and leaving some there after checking out as we explored the museum on the day we checked out. It was also nice to have a delicious breakfast with a group of people and swap stories in...
