The Eider House B&B offers a clean and comfortable getaway in what feels like the wildest area of Alaska. There’s a wide, burbling creek behind the house, just beyond the fire pit, where you can watch for wildlife. The large log home features four spacious rooms, each of which has a private bath. A family of three would be do well in one of their queen bed rooms, along with a rollaway bed. The living room, kitchen, and patio are available to all guests. The owners also have a complete fish cleaning station, and will help you vacuum-pack and freeze whatever you’ve caught. Other amenities include a washer/dryer, free coffee, free Wi-Fi, BBQ grill and fire pit.

The B&B is 6 miles south of the airport, in the small community of Bells Flats. You’ll truly feel like you’re in the wilds of Alaska out here. It’s an easy 10-mile drive into the town of Kodiak to enjoy a wide variety of shops and restaurants. There is no shortage of fine dining establishments serving the freshest Alaskan seafood you’ve ever had. The town hosts several kid-friendly attractions, including the Kodiak Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center and the Kodiak Fisheries Aquarium. For a full day of hiking and history, Fort Abercrombie State Park is only 4 miles north of town. An hour south of your B&B is the famed Fossil Beach. With its beautiful setting and quiet rooms, the Eider House B&B is a good choice for your Alaskan family vacation.
