Watching Alaska’s aurora borealis is an incredible experience. Watching it warm and cozy, on a rooftop in Wasilla, is absolutely amazing! Pioneer Ridge Bed & Breakfast offers the luxurious option of seeing the aurora borealis dance though the night sky from a snug spot on the rooftop of their bed and breakfast.
Pioneer Ridge Bed & Breakfast is a lovely little inn in Wasilla, Alaska.
Offering seven different types of accommodation, you'll find a comfortable spot to lay your head for the evening. They have everything from a private cabin to uniquely decorated theme rooms for you to choose from.
The property is expansive, with views of three different mountain ranges.
The land was originally homesteaded in the early 1900s. The building's first home was a dairy before being converted in 1986 to the beautiful bed and breakfast you see today.
