Together we came to Alaska seeking adventure.....and we found it! When we left Florida, we planned only to stay the summer of '94, however, the new Alyeska Prince Hotel & Resort opened that summer and we saw the need for small businesses to provide actvities for the guests. That fall we purchased and had shipped up from Viking, Canada, 2 percheron geldings named Kobuk and Tecumpseh, "The Boys" and started Chugach Carriage Company. From there we needed a place to house the horses and ourselves. Hence the Carriage House, a beautiful timber post and beam frame home designed for the lower level as storage for the carriages and the equipment needed for the horses with Jake and Rachel living on the second level. It was later decided to enclose the lower level and have a B & B, therefore the name "The Carriage House Bed & Breakfast and Stables".

The Family

We look forward to meeting you!
