About Heather Johnson

Your hosts, heather and doug johnson, are excited to share their home and love of alaska with you. Doug is the fourth generation of his family to live in alaska. Doug's family came to this great land in 1898 to mine gold in nome. Heather, on the other hand, came from the tropics. A third generation kamaina (local) from the big island of hawaii, heather came to alaska in 1976 and immediately fell in love with the land and its people. Together they share a love of travel and adventure and have an appreciation for what travelers need.

Heather Johnson purchased this apartment in 1959
Why Heather Johnson chose Anchorage

The johnson family home was built in 1958. Doug was three years old when he moved from his 5th avenue home to where we currently live on west 20th avenue, which was then considered the boondocks and great moose hunting grounds. Our home was remodeled in 1998. After our children moved out to pursue their university studies, we decided to renovate a space for fellow travelers and officially formed gardenside bed and breakfast in 2012.

Our spacious executive suite has a cozy private bedroom and bath. Also, one can relax in a sitting room or take part in a meal at the dining room table.

What makes this apartment unique

We are within walking distance to downtown anchorage and also are located in the quaintness of spenard. Chester creek is in our back yard, giving guests access to fabulous x-c ski trails in the winter and wonderful bike paths in the summer.

My husband, daughter and infant grandson thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Anchorage and our stay at this great property! We felt at home in the clean, quiet and comfortable living space and enjoyed the ease of tasty breakfast food, available each morning. Being so close to the nearby trails for walking and skiing was an added attraction. Kudos to the owners for their hospitality!!!
