This historic clapboard home was built in 1913 in Knik by former Anchorage Mayor Oscar Gill and later moved to its midtown location. The quaint and friendly B&B offers three guest rooms (two that share a bathroom) and a fantastic breakfast that ranges from sourdough French toast to smoked-salmon quiche. There's parking.
