I have stayed with Susan and Myron while visiting on business almost every year for 6 years now and I continue to go back. In my opinion, quite possibly the best stay in the state, and certainly in Barrow. ||Amazing people who are down to earth, bend over backwards for you to help you not only with your stay, but also have helped me with various business contacts and connections for shipping to and from barrow, how to find the best service there, etc. ||Local knowledge, history and stories to share in the evenings and the food… you may not want to leave. For a very reasonable price you can add meals onto your stay and it will rival some of the bests restaurants in Alaksa. Susan truly makes very good home scratch cooked meals! ||Meeting others from around the world while sitting around the dinner or breakfast table is always interesting ||It’s not just a place to stay.

Read moreLatitude 71 BnB and its owners, Susan and Myron McCumber, definitely deserve their 5-star reviews. [Latitude1llc@gmail.com, +1 907-319-8448: Myron; +1 907-301-6017: Susan; physical address: 5725 B Ave; mailing address: P.O.
