"A Once in a Lifetime Experience
"Our first time to Alaska and we couldn't have asked for anything more... The view was amazing and so peaceful. Throughout our stay we would see otters, eagles and even a bear across the cove... You really feel like you're part of a family.
"Thanks to all of you for helping us to escape the worries of the day and find a place to relax and enjoy life."
