We traveled for 6 weeks through Canada and Alaska staying exclusively at B & B's. Alderhouse was the very best! Alyce was a wonderful hostess who is also an exceptional cook. The breakfasts were outstanding! The house is beautiful, exceptionally clean and very user friendly. When we arrived off the Alaska State Ferry on our motorcycles on a very wet... More

Definitely a highlight of our trip to Alaska was our stay at Alderhouse. It was beautifully furnished, spotless, comfortable, warm and welcoming. And, breakfasts prepared by Alyce were incredible. The location was perfect for us, as we used the ferry for our trip. And, we used the public bus to get around Ketchican. We can't say enough about how much... More

What more could we add to the fact that Alyce’s Alderhouse B&B was the very best place we stayed on our, self organised trip through Western Canada and Alaska. Overlooking the ferry terminal, (using the Alaska Highway Ferry System is a must for those seeking the most from their holiday) and just a short bus ride into town, Alderhouse was... More

Alyce Bethel is a superb inkeeper, with her three-room B&B in the beautiful town of Ketchikan. She and husband Mike have a lovely and very comfortable home on a hill overlooking the harbor. The decor is a great mix of antiques, Alaskan historical items and fabulous art by Tlingket and Haida craftspeople. Breakfasts are excellent--so good you might miss an... More

Great hostess, great food, great location. Clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend - you won't be disappointed.

It can be difficult to find a B&B to accomodate three couples but not a problem at the Alderhouse B & B. Not only three couples but four people who were up early to fish. Alyce had muffins, coffee, and to-go snacks ready for us. The girls not fishing were treated to an extra special breakfast. The house is absolutely... More

You will be hard pressed to find a B & B better than this. The attention to detail and service is in a class of its own. Excellent breakfast (No muffins in a zip-lock bag here). Five minutes from the ferry, and a fifteen to twenty minute walk to downtown. S&BR

It was a pleasure to stay at this B&B which is one of the best that we have stayed at. The breakfast was very tasty and imaginative and served in bright, airy and beautifully furnished surroundings. It’s a little bit out of town, but in a very tour ship oriented town that is not a bad thing especially if you... More

I don't know how Alyce keeps the place do spic 'n span, but she does. Her tasty breakfasts are artfully produced, but not weird. And the gathering room, complete with gas fireplace and a view, is a lovely place to spend early mornings, late evenings, and anytime in between. Tip: Although we could have gotten around without a car from... More
