At the risk of bragging a bit, here is a sampling of comments left by our guests -

"Hi, Val...Elizabeth trotted out our video of the Inside Passage again. You and Alaska were the highlight of a trip that was brilliant from go to almost whoa! "

"Val and Bob's Bears Run was the high point of our trip to Alaska. The food was great, the company was fantastic. Being able to stay in such a homey Bed and Breakfast. Val and Bob were able to guide us to fantastic hikes, and side trips and truly bent over backwards to make sure we had a wonderful trip. We are already planning on returning to Bears Run..."

"Bears Run was just right! The house is beautifully designed and built. The rooms are immaculately kept. The food is terrific. The setting is delightfully woodsy. The location is just fine, in Mendenhall Valley not far from Mendenhall Glacier. But the best part is the people..."

"this is what a B&B is about..very clean rooms, very friendly and accommodating hosts, they went out of their way to make our visit enjoyable."

"An absolute must for the B & B lover. We hope to return and would not think of staying anywhere else."

"My wife and I had the pleasure of staying with Val and Bob twice during our first visit to Southeast. Val was extremely helpful with tips about the Juneau area and Tracy Arm bookings before we even arrived. That was just a taste. She and Bob are very gracious hosts and wonderful conversationalists. Val is a great cook..."

"My husband and I had a dream come true vacation to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We traveled throughout the state and stayed at a dozen B&B's. We voted and the Bears Run ended up being our favorite, hands down..."

"our stay at Bears Run was great. we plan to go back just to be in the company of Val and Bob! they had all the comforts of home and still were close to all the attractions in Juneau. They gave us a lot of helpful advice and pointed us to some really great spots. I can't wait to visit Juneau again."
