BUSINESS / LEISURE/ ADVENTURE TRAVELERS:

• As long term world wide B&B "residents" we have found A Channel View to be as fine as they come.  Magnificent location, views, accommodation and food together with quite exceptionally kind and thoughtful hosts.  Without a doubt, this would be been a far lesser experience without the generous and informative input of Mary and Ron:  They enriched out 6 night stay far beyond the call of duty, thoughtfully providing insights in general and going to great lengths to help with our specific interest in birds and their photography.  A most enthusiastically and highly recommended , world class, B&B. Thank you so much, Mary and Ron,, for your very high standards and your deeply appreciated interest and kindness.

• One of the best B&B's we have stayed in. Your backgrounds truly make this gem unique. A great way to learn about Kodiak and its history, get an insiders guide to things to do, and see amazing views. Of course, the breakfast was topnotch as well. Thank you both for your warmth and hospitality. You truly made this weekend special and one to be remembered for years to come.

• Thank you so much for your hospitality.  Your generosity did not go unnoticed.  Your place is absolutely amazing and the view was spectacular, much like the breakfast and all your great stories. We cannot thank you enough for the tip about the whales.  That was an experience we will never forget.

• Our stay here in Kodiak has been a great experience with bears, eagles, fresh air, whales, wild flowers, also excellent salmon and exchange of stories, luxurious apartment, but most of all, your hospitality.  THANK YOU, your care for your guests seems without limits.   Lise and Hans Henrick - Denmark, Copenhagen
• We've thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in such a comfortable suite. Gorgeous view from the window and deck and excellent breakfasts! Thank you both so much for the very warm welcome and hospitality and enjoyed exchanging stores about our commonly loved "scotch."

• We are so fortunate to have been able to stay at your B&B.  You are outstanding, gracious and welcoming hosts who made our trip so memorable and enjoyable.  We thoroughly enjoyed hearing your rich family history and seeing all the amazing memorabilia around the house.  We could not have asked for a more beautiful setting (view, wow!) or more welcoming hosts.

• When we first arrived here we wondered what it was that made this place so special.  We didn't wonder for long.  It is all the extra things the two of you do to make it such an amazing place.  We cannot thank you enough for our stay here on your beautiful island and for making us feel so welcome in your home.  What the two of you do here is really something special.  That is a reason to come back!  Thank you.

• Thank you for our wonderful stay and your support to our filming project.  Your house is beautiful and your breakfast unbeatable! We are traveling a lot, but we seldom meet such friendly and kindly people like Mary and Ron.  Thank you for your warm welcome! ~Werner and Doris-Austria
• Simply the best!  Home away from home like no other--spacious room, comfortable bed, delicious breakfasts, stunning water views....and above all, friendly, helpful, gracious hosts.  Three days definitely not long enough.

• A wonderful place to stay and excellent hosts.  We loved our short stay in this beautiful part of the world.                                 Bob and Elaine--Australia.
• Our stay has been full of surprises since the very first moment.  We didn't expect our hosts to pick us up at the ferry first of all, nor to drive us on a guided tour of the town, and who could imagine that we two Italians could feel really "at home" in a remote island in such a remote area like Alaska?  We have been cuddled, and felt so much sincere kindness from you.  We hope to be like you in our future, with a strong willingness to travel and meet new people. Grazie!!!

• We have found Kodiak and its smiling people---infectious.  So many, as you two, embrace this country as stewards--how beautiful.  Thank you for a stellar introduction.  Once is not enough.
  John and Jacque--Minnesota
• An absolutely delightful stay!!  Your advice on places to eat and sightseeing was invaluable.  The breakfasts were fabulous and the view is gorgeous.  However, I think the best part was sitting at the breakfast table and getting to know you and the history of Kodiak.  I think we could sit there all day just looking out the window!   Jan and Herb--California
• Thank you for your wonderful hospitality, great breakfast and inspiring conversation.  Channel View B&B gave us not only a view of the channel but of the people and nature on Kodiak Island. We plan to come back!!    Sally and Joe~Florida

• We could not have chosen a better place!  Your hospitality and wonderful breakfast and beautiful home made our trip to the Emerald Island unforgettable.  We appreciate your directions on where to drive, what to look for and where to eat.  Especially enjoyed hearing about your heritage here and your adventures around the world.   George and Patricia ~ Sperry, OK.

• Thank you for making us feel so much at home in your lovely home. It was almost like we had known you for years.  Sitting at your breakfast table having the omelet from Chef Ron or your fantastic Smoked Salmon  Quiche while looking out at the channel was such a treat.  Myrl and Sally--Colorado
