The Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center

I'm over at the Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center today and wanted to take a minute to recommend it to any visitors to Alaska.

A wealth of information available to both resident and tourist alike!  "The Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center houses the City of Kenai's permanent collection of natural history objects, archeological material, native artifacts and contemporary art."  Click here for more information about this must-see display!

Beautiful Winter in Alaska

The view from my window is always stunning, whether it's the thickly greened carpeting of summer or the gentle frozen covering of snow.  Mid-November finds us waking up to temperatures of 0 degrees F, scraping ice off of vehicles, and donning warm winter coats and hats before heading outside.   

Those who vacation in Alaska in the winter are sure to get an unforgettable experience.  This rugged land offers us much in the way of either winter sports, outdoors activities or snuggling up for some warm and cozy evenings by the fire.

The Snow is Here, the Snow is Here!

The snow is here, and the Diamond M Ranch family didn't waste a minute. 

The beautiful white stuff is covering the ground and we LOVE it! 

Alaska in November and Romantic Winter Getaway Plans!

It's an odd way to start November, this rare snowless week.  Albeit, we did get some snow yesterday, a light flurry that came down in the night and spent most of the next day melting quietly away.

Snow or not, winter is upon us here in the beautiful state of Alaska.  For us, that often means time for lighting candles, putting an extra log in the fireplace, and heading to bed just a little earlier in keeping with the earlier descent of the sun.

Place Setting at our Bed & Breakfast

Here at the Diamond M Ranch Resort, most of our rooms are booked for the winter season, though the romantic Greentree Suite remains available for those wanting a relationship-building sumptuous winter getaway.   Whether you take advantage of a get-away or decide to stay at home, the colder months of this season can provide the perfect opportunity for nestling close and remembering the things that brought you together.

Winter reminds us to remember our blessings, delight in the closeness of loved ones, and to look with hope at things that may look dormant now, but will soon be blossoming once again.

Details about the Greentree Suite can be found here.  Mention this blog post for 15% off a one-night stay, or 20% off your winter stay of 2 or more days when you book!  Ask about our "romantic dinner and wine" add-on options!  Offer good through April of 2010.
