Ron and mary were the perfect hosts, gracious beyond hope. My children (8,12) were brilliantly looked after; indeed my son learnt a lot from Ron about fossils! We loved the rooms we had - spacious, tidy and clean ... and the kids also enjoyed the Kodiak-related DVDs supplied! A lovely restful, central place to stay. Could not recommend it more.... More

What a gift for us to find an apartment option at this beautiful b & b, stocked with breakfast foods that we could fix on our own timeline, and a washer/dryer that is much needed if you are going to do Kodiak correctly. The proprietors are true Alaskans, and know the island and how to recreate on it well. We... More

Well located, comfortable, a nice apartment for three of us. a great value. Lovely view of the ocean.

Having read the glowing reviews we arrived in Kodiak with high hopes and expectations, almost expecting to be at least partly disappointed. However, Mary's and Ron's hospitality, their apparent pleasure in doing what they could to give you the best possible time and the flat put our doubts to shame. It really was the highlight of our trip to Alaska... More

We stayed at the Channel View B&B’s apartment for 3 nights in July 2010 and highly recommend this wonderful B&B. The apartment was truly like a home away from home with plenty of room, a fully equipped kitchen, washing facilities and all the other amenities of home – totally spot free of course. After many days of travelling through Alaska,... More

As long term world-wide B&B "residents" we have found A Channel View to be as fine as they come. Magnificent location, views, accommodation and food together with quite exceptionally kind and thoughtful hosts. Without a doubt, this would be been a far lesser experience without the generous and informative input of Mary and Ron: They enriched out 6 night stay... More

Our recent trip to Kodiak Island was enhanced by our gracious hosts Ron & Mary Doubt. They are wonderful ambassadors for their island home and we have no hesitation in recommending Channel View to anyone visiting Kodiak. Both are very knowledgeable about the island as well as being a well traveled, interesting couple. They will make you feel at home... More

I stayed at Channel View for several nights in between spending six nights on a boat along the coast of Katmai National Park and then three days on the AK Marine ferry to Dutch Harbor. It was a great way to relax and recharge between adventures. Ron and Mary were terrific hosts and they will forever be part of my... More

We stayed for a few days with mary and Ron, we booked randomly off the internet, by email. From the get-go Mary was already emailing us with Tips, directions and helpful advice well before we even arrived in Alaska. Once we had arrived, Ron was like an unofficial Taxi driver, would ask where we were planning to go and would... More
