What a great choice! I was there for three nights and had to drag myself away. The rate was a bit more than I like to pay by myself, but well worth it. My room was large and comfortable, with a nice bathroom, small fridge and TV. I could imagine staying all winter and writing a great novel at the... More

The best place to stay in Skagway. Our party of 6 visited for three nights and had three very nice rooms. The hosts were friendly and helpful, arranging shuttles and providing suggestions. Breakfasts were just right with good coffee, fresh muffins and other choices. Beautiful, well maintained building conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from the center... More

We were up for a family event and stayed a full week. This is a charming B&B. The owners Jan and John and the staff are friendly, helpful and fun. Breakfast is good and the muffins made daily. Do not miss the cookie jar!

My parents and I spent two nights here. When I made the reservation, the owners were very helpful in assigning us a room with a king bed for my parents, and a twin bed for me, so we would not have to pay for separate rooms. I made our reservations about three months in advance. The week we were due... More

My daughter and I were making our way from Boone, NC to Juneau, AK by way of the Skagway ferry the second weekend in May 2011. In all of the many hours of planning, when we arrived in Skagway we realized we had not confirmed lodging for the night. Our GPS pointed us in the direction of The White House.... More

Loved the property and the hosts were very nice. I think the original place may have burned down and this is, in part, a replica, but it was comfortable, historic, convenient location. It may be the most booked bed and breakfast in Skagway. Could only get a room here for one night of my four in the town. A lot... More

We spent two night in Skagway whcih was ideal. We arrived late one night by ferry and the town was so quiet. As it was so light, we walked the main street (only street) and then went to bed. The next day, 4 cruise ships had arrived and with them 10,000 tourists. The town was abuzz! Again that night, quiet.... More

We were looking for somewhere to stay in Skagway before and after backpacking the Chilkoot Trail - the White House was ideal and we would certainly recommend it. In contrast to some previous reviewers we found the owners friendly and welcoming (but not "in your face"), and there was everything we needed for breakfast. Even more importantly, we found it...
