Lake Hood Inn

Lake Hood Inn is a B&B that is, as the name would imply, right on Lake Hood. The owner has a Cessna 180 on floats, which is docked in the back of the B&B. The B&B has a strong airplane theme, with all sorts of airplane paraphernalia, all over. They even have headphones on the deck connected to the control tower frequency, which is rather cool to listen to. For a seaplane pilot or aviation fan, it's a cool place.

The entrance to Lake Hood Inn. Chairs in the entrance are from a Russian airline. And next to it is a table, with a propeller mounted on the wall. There are a few propellers around the place.

The Millenium Hotel is one or two doors down, a fancy hotel on Lake Hood. They have a dock. I took some pictures of the planes in Lake Hood. Note that this was around 11pm at night, which is why there's not that much activity.

I took a few shots the next morning from the living room of the B&B. It's quite cozy, with all sorts of airplane things. In the middle picture, if you look up from the corner post of the railing until you get to the shoreline of the lake, you'll see the control tower for Anchorage International Airport.

One more shot of the seaplanes docked at Lake Hood. This was taken from the 2nd floor deck of Lake Hood Inn.

Highland Glen Lodge

Highland Glen Lodge is a beautiful English tudor house. It has a nice yard and is fairly secluded, has a great view, and is incredibly nice. It is run by a retired, very friendly Scotish couple. The breakfast was homemade, and nice. Of course tea or coffee, fruit, some breads, and the day we were there there were pancakes and reindeer sausage. Quite nice.

A couple pictures of my room, the first picture facing the bed and bathroom, the second looking the other way.

We actually had 2 rooms that were connected. A few shots of Stephanie's room. She was happy, wiht her computer as her constant companion. I have no idea what the glittery sparkles are in the third picture—perhaps she was being beamed back to the mothership.

The bathroom was also quite nice. And the door to the left in the bathroom leads to the sauna! Two pictures from opposite sides of the sauna. It's not huge but enough for 3 or 4 people. We didn't use it.

Some pictures of the entrance to the house from the inside. The first picture is from the top of the staircase looking towards the front door. The second is looking down the main hallway to the dop of the stairs where the first shot was taken. ANd the third picture is from the same location as the first, looking down.

More or less the same shot as the previous one, but from the lower level. And a picture of a grandfather clock, which was directly behind me when I took the first picture.

The living room. Holy crap, but it was nice. Fine china, gold plated silverware. The first picture is of the lving room in general, then one of the tables, and another with the fireplace in view. Again, it was around 11pm when I took these pictures, and most of them were handheld without using a flash.

They provide an afternoon tea (although we weren't around). The first picture is of the tea service. It includes (of course) cubes of sugar. The second picture (perhaps a bit out of sequence), is of a small building at the top of the driveway. It might just be a cute shed.

Back towards the kitchen, there were two very colorful (red and white) kitchen hutch things. Again, very cute. I didn't want to blow out the colors with a flash, so I just used available light and steadied the camera against a doorway. I was surprised it wasn't very blurry given that it was like 1/5 of a second or slower.

Finally, a bit of the views. The middle was in the breakfast nook or kitchenette. In the background some birdfeeders can be seen. The first picture is a close-up of one of the bird feeders. And the last picture is looking out from the front of the house. The snow-capped mountains are visible in the distance.
