LIVING ON THE EDGE: A TIMELESS TREND

By Ellen Paris

Exceptional homes are made even more extraordinary with a breathtaking view.

The appeal of homes with a million-dollar view, from mountainside retreats to waterfront estates with abundant vistas, has homebuyers gladly paying a premium price. The demand for properties touting rooms with a view continues to grow in luxury markets around the country. Dan Encell of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties in the celebrity enclave of Montecito explains the value of a breathtaking view. “An outstanding view can easily add millions of dollars to a home’s value. A special view is like a work of art.” Encell is currently representing a landmark 1920s “Golden Era” Montecito estate with premier Pacific and Channel Island views. “Buyers also want a multi-dimensional view. An exciting scene by day that transforms into city lights at night is magical.”

Ultimate Sea Views

Paul Grover, principal broker and co-founder of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties of Osterville, Massachusetts, treasures listings with unsurpassed Atlantic and Nantucket Sound views. “In the Cape Cod market, luxury buyers appreciate a home that is designed to showcase water views from the moment you walk through the front door. It immediately sets the stage, and then, it is important for those views to be maximized throughout,” says Grover, who is presently representing a $30,000,000 Osterville estate that sits resplendent on 3.66 acres with endless views of Nantucket Sound.

beauty, tranquility, and privacy. The potential for outdoor activities and direct access to the water can also be important features. We are seeing a higher use of sustainable design elements incorporated into these homes, melding interior and exterior spaces.”

Unsurpassed Cityscape Views

Heading over to West Falmouth on the Cape, Robert Kinlin, co-founder of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties, offers an oceanfront gem. Perched above the sand, this contemporary residence overlooks Buzzard’s Bay and boasts a 360-degree water vista. The coveted Western exposure guarantees spectacular sunsets to enjoy from your 900 feet of sandy beach. On 9.5 acres, privacy is a privilege at $13,250,000. Kinlin weighs in on the appeal of opulent view properties. He says, “What attracts a buyer to a luxury view home has remained consistent over the years. Unobstructed views, scenic

Luxury living at Boston’s Seaport with water and city views stretching across the Boston Harbor can be found at 22 Liberty Drive. This high-end 2,207-square-foot condominium is on the market for $6,195,000. “It is not unusual to see homes that are specifically designed to capture water views in every room with oversized windows and walls of glass that bring the scenery right inside,” Listing agent Grover says. “Creating a seamless connection to the outdoors is important, too, and French doors that lead to a water-view terrace or balcony are commonly used to achieve this.” Left: Commanding

Designing Unforgettable Views

More seven-figure homes being designed today primarily focus on breathtaking views. The trend for Montana luxury properties is all about showcasing the wide-open spaces. “The view makes all the difference. Without the view, you have a lovely home, but nothing to add that wow factor,” notes Ann Snortland of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Montana Properties. Architectural and design elements that create and tell a compelling story are driving the luxury market. “Buyers want to have something to tell and show their friends. What makes this place special and unique? Situating the house on the property and using floor-to-ceiling windows to create stunning views from every room. Creating an inviting outdoor space to enjoy a warm day with a cold beverage and soak in the massive lake view while sharing stories of the day’s adventures with friends and family is what luxury buyers want,” Snortland observes.

Orchard Springs Lodge in Helena, co-listed by Snortland and Deb Whitcomb and offered at $11,500,000 with 315-plus acres, has majestic views of Canyon Ferry Lake. Local artisans crafted one-of-a-kind design elements including the fabrication of all the rods and fasteners for the window treatments to frame and enhance the views from the 17,533-square-foot home.

An Architectural View

Steven Hoedemaker, partner and AIA at the Seattle architectural firm Hoedemaker Pfeiffer, focuses on Pacific Northwest residences with significant mountain and lake views. “Living with a breathtaking view has a timeless appeal. The sense of prospect and refuge afforded by a perch creates a sense of safety and outlook. Today’s homeowner relishes in the ability to erase the distinction between indoors and out—to occupy the view, rather than peer out at it through a framed opening,” Hoedemaker says.

When beginning the initial design process, the view often takes precedence. Hoedemaker expands on this, “We think about how the view animates the experience of living in a home. Rather than thinking of the view as static, we track the light through the day and the seasons, so we can think about how the sun rises and sets relative to the indoor and outdoor spaces.” There is much to consider when creating comfortable interiors and how natural light can impact daily living from morning to night. Hoedemaker says, “We want to engage the view but not overexpose the interior with light. The user’s experience of the view should be dynamic, not just by time of day, but by where they are in the house. One view can become many by reframing the experience.”

“With window systemsthatlift, drop,slide,andfold, wehavemanytools forconnectingour clients with the views that drew them to the siteinthefirstplace.”

- Steven Hoedemaker

The evolution of the architectural view over the last decade is linked to several factors. “Technology, as much as anything, has given architects better tools for dissolving the distinctions between indoors and out. With window systems that lift, drop, slide, and fold, we have many tools for connecting our clients with the views that drew them to the site in the first place,” Hoedemaker explains.

Identifying today’s trends, Hoedemaker points out that “we are having a lot of fun with window and door technologies. We can make a wall of glass disappear into the floor or take a bank of 15-foot steel doors and have them pirouette in unison to open or close.

The distinction between inside and out can be erased with the push of a button while maintaining an incredibly efficient envelope.”

As much as that premiere view adds value and marketability to a property, it will not always make up for deficiencies.

“Regardless of whether it is a city or ocean view property, we are seeing luxury buyers strongly gravitate toward homes that are in absolutely mint condition. The view is part of the package, but they also want it to be completely updated and they are willing to pay a premium for that,” advises Hoedemaker, the expert about dream homes with breathtaking views.

Nothing compares to The Mansion on St. Simons Island, which offers every imaginable luxury for living the Golden Isles lifestyle. Here, sophisticated living meets serene waterfront beauty, surrounded by panoramic views of Frederica River and beyond. The home offers more than 11,000 square feet enhanced by seemingly endless amenities and features, including travertine stone and wood floors. There are 6 bedrooms, full guest quarters with a kitchen, a gym, multiple lounge 316

areas, and a pool room with entertainment station and full bath. An all-tide dock area, with covered dock pavilion with built-in seating, is navigable for any size boat. Its prime location near the FJ Torres Causeway offers quick and easy access on and off the island. This property sits on 3 lots, and offers the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets, right in your own backyard. This home was designed to be timeless and will never be outdated. A truly magnificent offering. $7,850,000

NEW ORLEANS: A SOUTHERN BELLE

A city with a superb blend of diverse cultures and rich history, plus a bit of spice.

By Ellen Paris

Above: Jackson Square in New Orleans.

From the bustling French Quarter and the elegant Garden District traveling along St. Charles Avenue to Tulane University, this Southern Belle dazzles with the promise of adventure. “We are seeing people who live out on the North Shore wanting to own a home in the French Quarter to use for weekends because there is always so much to do,” observes Rachel Turnage, CFO and marketing director of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Properties in New Orleans.

“New Orleans has always been known for its food. There are restaurants opening with a new take on standards. Dining is always evolving here,” Turnage says. Head over to Tapas e Vino—the hot spot located on Frenchman Street, a local favorite—to explore a modern fusion of tapas and live jazz. Annie Jones, senior communications manager at The Ritz-Carlton New Orleans, shares her top French Quarter pick. “Napoleon House is my favorite spot for a quick lunch. Order a half muffuletta to share and wash it down with the best Pimm’s Cup of all time. The original owners of the building intended for Napoleon to abscond to the French Quarter and live here in exile.” According to Jones, Mosquito Supper Club, along the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar route is a “very hot reservation right now.”

“2024willbeastrong yearforNewOrleans’ mostimportant industryoftourism and the cultural economy.”

-WaltLegerIII

“2024 will be a strong year for New Orleans’ most important industry of tourism and the cultural economy,” says Walt Leger III, president and CEO of New Orleans & Company, a member destination marketing organization. “Among many things to look forward to in 2024 are a resurgence of major conventions, such as the Bocuse d’Or and Pastry World Cup international culinary competitions in June; Prospect.6, a contemporary art tricentennial; and the 30th Essence Festival of Culture in July. New Orleans will also be in the international spotlight as we prepare to host Super Bowl LIX in 2025,” Leger notes.

Turnage’s top attractions are diverse. The National WWll Museum New Orleans on Magazine Street explores the “war that changed the world” with immersive exhibits and oral histories combined with multi-media experiences. “This is not to be missed. It’s a huge attraction and ranked among the top museums in the world,” Turnage explains. “Vue Orleans atop The Four Seasons Hotels & Residences also recently opened and New Orleans’s history and culture are on display through a 4-D experience. “The 360-degree view of the city is unsurpassed.”

Jones says these hidden gems are also worth noting. The Backstreet Cultural Museum displays New Orleans African American culture from jazz funerals to Mardi Gras costumes and prized memorabilia. While tucked away in the French Quarter is the Potions Speakeasy with a vampire-esque vibe. Non-members can slip into 709 ½ Ann Street where the vampire staff will whisper the password. Do try one of the signature concoctions like the Potions Poison.

A visit to New Orleans also offers the best in luxury and boutique hotels, each with a signature brand of allure. The Ritz-CarltonNew Orleans, a historic luxury property on Canal Street at the edge of the French Quarter, is a must-see, even if you don’t book a stay. A 1908 Beaux-Arts Maison building melds true Southern ambiance with elegant interiors like those of the celebrated Garden District mansions. The spa offers the New Orleans-inspired Voodoo Ritual. Do you dare?

The Eliza Jane, where elegance meets eclectic in downtown New Orleans on Magazine Street, is a transformed collection of 19th-century warehouses and is most memorable. Once home to The Daily Picayune’s headquarters, a stay in the Editor and Publisher’s suites still makes headlines. The boutique hotel is a part of the Unbound Collection by Hyatt.

Book a visit to New Orleans in April or October when the weather is as lovely as a Southern Belle.

GARAGE GOALS

By Marlene Ridgway

When crafted with care and detail, a garage surpasses its conventional role of simple storage to be a collector’s haven—a place to entertain, luxuriate, and more.

Long before the pandemic, homeowners were unleashing their creativity upon their garages, transforming them into epicenters of luxury and style to expand living space. With the flair of a seasoned architect and some fresh ideas, your garage becomes more than the ultimate display case for your vintage or modern cars— it morphs into a jaw-dropping spectacle, an enviable entertainer’s dreamscape, or even a lavish home office. Picture turntables offering panoramic 360-degree views of your prized automobiles, opulent wine displays, captivating art installations, and more, pushing high-end home garages into a league of their own.

Fantastic Features

The turntable has become a favorite attribute among car collectors and auto enthusiasts. “It’s not just practical for maneuvering cars, but it also transforms the garage into a showroom, giving each car its moment in the spotlight,” says Michael Vincent, CEO and president at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Portugal Property. A rotating platform alone can elevate your car collection while adding the right lighting and decor, such as framed instruments, vintage signs, and other relished items, will complete the overall look. Vincent adds that the turntables and luxury garages, “cater to car enthusiasts who see their collection as an art form. It’s a functional space that doubles as a personal gallery.”

from lavish lounge/bar areas and game rooms to sophisticated studies and luxe libraries have a place among car collections.

In fact, the whole premise of Garage Deluxe, a company dedicated to creating luxury spaces for unforgettable automobiles, is to offer much more than storage. “It is all about the enjoyment of your car collection by combining it with leisure spaces, for example, a home office, gymnasium, a sunken seating area with a cinema screen, a bar area, et cetera,” says Jonathan Clark, the founder of Garage Deluxe, which is under the parent company Jonathan Clark Architects—an award-winning RIBA Chartered Practice. “This way you can view and appreciate your cars on a daily basis whether privately or with friends and colleagues.”

The often larger space and high ceilings in the garage make prominently displaying art and other collections a simple feat. The look and feel of an art gallery becomes possible in the vast rooms, and the cars often serve as the artful centerpiece of the show.

Garages on Another Level

Wine displays have also become an element that homeowners value in elevated garages. Sommi Custom Wine Cellars, a company based in Portland, Oregon, specializes in converting garage space and more into wine storage that is not only functional but also aesthetically turns heads. These displays are a bold statement with elegant designs, especially against the backdrop of luxury sports cars and other collections.

Making the Most of Garage Space

More luxury living space to enjoy is always a sought-after element. It’s no surprise to find that multifunctional garages in high-end real estate are becoming more popular. Everything

Chad Haas refers to himself as the chief gearhead at his company, VAULT, which prides itself on crafting functional—as well as breathtaking—luxury garages. With more than 10 years of experience, Haas makes note of a new trend that’s becoming more common among serious car collectors. “With restrictions on lot sizes and limits on garage dimensions, it’s getting tougher to make room for car collections at home. This is why car condos are becoming more popular,” Haas says when asked about what’s trending in the world of garages. “People need that extra space for their collections, and an area where they can also work or entertain.”

Clients who don’t have the space or run into restrictions when expanding are choosing to build garages on land that’s separate from their homes. Haas adds, “These structures may look like warehouses from the outside, but inside, they are impressively furnished,” often with the finest luxury car collections.

EXPLORE WASHINGTON, D.C.

By Ellen Paris

For decades, the capital city was asleep by 10 pm as politicians prepped for breakfast meetings. What’s new? “Washington, D.C., once primarily known as the seat of national power, has transformed into a vibrant, in-demand destination for homebuyers,” says Karmela Lejarde, the vice president of marketing agent services at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty for Mid-Atlantic, Florida and Tennessee. “Neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, with its historic charm, and the trendy bustling streets of Shaw, have become hotspots for those seeking a dynamic urban lifestyle.

The Wharf, with its stunning waterfront views, offers a touch of luxury and relaxation, while NoMa, a rapidly developing area, is attracting a younger, trend-forward crowd with its modern amenities and artistic vibe.” Elliott L. Ferguson, II, president and CEO of Destination D.C., sums it up, “This is such an exciting time to be in Washington, D.C.; if you haven’t been to the nation’s capital in the last five or 10 years, you are in for quite a treat.”

Stay

The Pendry Washington, D.C. – The Wharf is a new waterfront hotel with a lot to offer. Enjoy innovative architecture, four dining venues, and expansive rooms. Take advantage of the 24/7 fitness center then relax at Spa Pendry. This option also scores high on walkability to attractions.

Dine

The Union Market District offers culinary adventures and has been a community gathering spot dating back to 1871. D.C. foodies love the eclectic dining scene, from Korean BBQ tacos to contemporary comfort food. Explore La Cosecha, the 20,000-square-foot Spanish Marketplace, and then head to Mount Pleasant to the Purple Patch serving American-Filipino fare and experience The Washington Post’s 2023 Restaurant of the Year.

Play

The Wharf reestablishes Washington, D.C. as a true waterfront destination. This vibrant mile-long stretch along the Potomac is home to luxury hotels, diverse restaurants, unique shops, and high-end residences. Year-round events include concerts, food festivals, and yoga. Do check out Kraken Kourts & Skates across town for indoor pickleball and roller skating in a club-like atmosphere.

Relax

The Watergate Hotel—steps from where former President Richard Nixon met his demise—is home to the Argentta Spa, where a Vitamin D facial attracts well-heeled Washingtonians. Or discover the healing power of plants at the Bonsai Museum at the U.S. National Arboretum.

STARS OVER COLORADO

By Roger Grody

The inaugural Michelin Guide for Colorado showcases some of the Rocky Mountains’ best culinary talent.

Regardless of financial success or local acclaim, chefs and restaurateurs spend their lives chasing Michelin stars. Those elusive medallions vindicate years of sacrifice and put their restaurants on a global stage. The inaugural 2023 edition of Michelin Guide Colorado represents the arrival of the stars in the Centennial State, and among the 44 restaurants listed, five earned a coveted star.

Michelin, the venerable French tire company, published its first restaurant guide in 1900, and three Michelin stars remain the pinnacle of fine dining. The abundant expansion of the Michelin Guide has made the ratings a global phenomenon—Japan now ranks

second only to France in the number of honored restaurants—but the stars have never lost their luster. “Colorado has a dynamic culinary scene, one that’s perfect for the Michelin Guide,” says Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the Michelin Guides, who notes the state’s honorees reflect Colorado’s diverse cultural influences and bounty of local farmers, ranchers and fishermen.

No restaurants in the state earned two or three stars, but one-star honorees in the 2023 Colorado Guide include Bosq in Aspen; Beckon, Brutø, and The Wolf’s Tailor in Denver; and Frasca in Boulder.

Four restaurants were also awarded Michelin green stars in recognition of their commitment to sustainable practices. Bosq showcases local ingredients and its achievement brings honor to a robust Aspen dining scene. Unstarred but nonetheless recognized in the Michelin Guide are local restaurants Mawa’s Kitchen, Element 47 at The Little Nell and Prospect at the Hotel Jerome.

Bosq’s menu, which includes black truffle gougères, buffalo with maitake mushrooms, and roasted duck with beets, local berries and hazelnuts, expresses the spirit of Rocky Mountain luxury on a plate. Chef/owner Barclay Dodge was inspired by his journeys

through the Mediterranean—they included a stint at the legendary El Bulli—but as an Aspen native, the chef has a special appreciation for Colorado’s environment and culture. “I never thought we’d have the opportunity to earn a Michelin star, but to be recognized for our craft in this way is amazing,” says Dodge. “And because I’m a hometown boy, it was particularly special to bring it home to Aspen.”

Noting that Bosq is derived from the Spanish word for forest, “bosque,” Dodge reports he and his staff forage the Colorado woods for diverse edible products and herbs. Borrowing from the ethos of the groundbreaking Scandinavian restaurant Noma, Dodge suggests Bosq captures a time and place, stating, “When guests dine at Bosq, they really feel like they’re in Colorado.” He adds, “In the summer, 80 percent of all ingredients come from within a hundred miles of the restaurant and even the lobster, one of the few products not obtained locally, is smoked over Colorado juniper branches.”

Also earning a star in the new Michelin Guide is Denver’s eclectically-influenced Beckon whose menu from executive chef Duncan Holmes draws from the entire globe but also feels grounded in Colorado. It joins fellow honoree Frasca, an Italian restaurant in Boulder whose exquisite presentations equate to edible compositions of art. “It was a wonderful accomplishment for Frasca to earn a Michelin star and a fantastic reward for both guests and our team,” says Bobby Stuckey, master sommelier and co-founder of Frasca Hospitality Group. Stuckey says of the Michelin Guide, “It heralds a new culinary era for the state,” and addresses its economic impact on Colorado. “From ride-share drivers to hotels to local businesses, the ripple effect when the stone hits the pond cannot be overestimated.”

Two of Colorado’s five Michelin star recipients, Brutø and The Wolf’s Tailor, belong to Id Est Hospitality Group and both were awarded green sustainability stars as well. The restaurants have very distinct cuisines and characters, but founder Kelly Whitaker explains the philosophy that unites them. “Through cooking, I’m telling the stories of my travels and influences and those of the people who work here,” says the veteran chef. “We’re having a conversation with the world.”

SOAK UP SUN VALLEY, IDAHO

With prime skiing, easy access to nature, and luxury accommodations to satisfy the most discerning travelers, Sun Valley is a treasure trove of adventure. Stacey Rutherford, associate broker, and real estate agent, Malea Southward, of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Sun Valley Properties, offer up their local expertise with recommendations of where to eat, stay, play, and relax.

Dine

When it comes to fine dining, Michel’s Christiania Restaurant & Bar is a must. “It’s a great French restaurant with years of local ski and Olympic history decorating its walls,” says Rutherford. “My favorite dish is the morel crepe in a local morel cream sauce and pomme frites to soak it up.” Southward recommends Enoteca Restaurant & Wine Bar for a more relaxed atmosphere with a hearty menu.

Stay

Rutherford and Southward adamantly agree that the top place for a luxurious stay is the Sun Valley Lodge Resort. “It’s the best all-around with luxury suites and concierge services, all nestled in the village.” Another option is the Kobb Hill Inn, which exudes all the charm that this small resort town has to offer. “If you prefer a downtown location, the Limelight Hotel is a more casual option,” says Rutherford.

By Marlene Ridgway

Play

Sun Valley has produced several awardwinning Olympic athletes, offers various slopes to explore, is home to Ernest Hemingway’s grave, and the sun shines approximately 250 days out of the year. Southward adds, “The Galena Lodge affords endless outdoor adventures, such as sledding, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, backcountry yurts, and full moon dinners.” In addition, “The Sun Valley Museum of Art is the hub of the gallery scene, which features nearly a dozen diverse art collections,” says Rutherford about what to do while visiting.

Relax

For a day of utter relaxation and spa services, visit the Zenergy Health Club and Spa or the Sun Valley Resort. “However, another type of relaxation might be found on a rooftop bar such as Warfield’s or the back deck at the Limelight Hotel soaking up the famous Sun Valley sunshine in the year-round heated pool,” adds Southward.

THE ALLURE OF ALASKA

By Roger Grody

The state referred to as “The Last Frontier” has retained its natural beauty while evolving into a more accessible, diverse destination.

Since joining the Union in 1959, Alaska has been shrouded in mystery and most of the vast state remains a pristine Arctic wilderness worth experiencing. But Alaska has become more nuanced than simply a land of spectacular landscapes and abundant wildlife. Tourism and development have introduced more sophisticated amenities to the state that complement its awe-inspiring beauty. Whether one is a backpacking nomad or a luxury traveler, there are more reasons than ever to head north and indulge in the wonders that Alaska has to offer.

Veteran travel writer and explorer

Lisa Maloney—author of Moon Alaska and other guidebooks on the state—reports, “Just the scale of the place makes Alaska so compelling, which can be a welcome and sought-after departure from most people’s normal life experiences.” Maloney believes the state’s varied ecosystems provide a wealth of opportunities and suggests two equally thrilling ways of experiencing Alaska’s renowned glaciers. Viewing tidewater glaciers from a boat showcases the drama of fracturing ice, while hiking over an icefield (only with a reputable guide) is another adventure not to be forgotten.

Connie Yoshimura, broker/owner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Alaska Realty, reports buyers are attracted by Alaska’s unique lifestyle, but are faced with a severe housing inventory shortfall, as the lack of home state building products hamstrings new construction. “The state’s recreational experiences and vistas are unlike anything else in the world,” explains Yoshimura, a 40-year veteran of the Alaskan real estate market. “Our definition of luxury has more to do with a lifestyle—such as accessibility to recreational areas—than square footage.”

Yoshimura reports that tourists from around the world come for sightseeing, fishing and hunting, as well as to experience the beguiling northern lights. While traditional luxury resorts are rare, Yoshimura says wellheeled travelers are not overlooked. “With exclusive fishing camps, adventure lodges and helicopter skiing, a luxury tourism market is emerging,” she says, noting there are even a few airstrips accommodating private jets. Beyond a competitive housing market, the overall cost of living in Alaska is high and the climate can be intimidating. Nevertheless, America’s Last Frontier continues to be a magnet for adventurous individuals seeking new horizons. And for those who appreciate being immersed in natural beauty, few places rival Alaska.

In addition to the massive cruise ships that transport most tourists to Alaska, vessels such as Silversea’s 392-passenger Silver Whisper, complete with butler service, provide more intimate luxury voyages. On the Riviera, an Oceania Cruises ship deployed to Alaska, the upmarket company shows off a Lalique glass grand staircase and emphasizes world-class gastronomy. “Sailing on board the Riviera is the ultimate way to explore this rugged state, while enjoying her distinctive residential luxury,” reports Oceania president Frank A. Del Rio. Maloney suggests those who cruise to Alaska should find a way to spend some extra time before or after sailing to explore the state’s rich culture and environment without being rushed.

Alaska Private Touring offers bespoke tours throughout the state. General manager Pamela Manderson, a lifelong Alaskan, reports her company customizes tours for travelers who choose not to be confined to a cruise ship with limited access to Alaska’s inland. “Our tours, customized to meet the guests’ specific needs and interests, allow you to experience the beauty and grandeur of Alaska,” she explains. For clients who prefer high-end adventure lodges, one of the most luxurious is the exclusive Sheldon Chalet, whose perch on the slope of Denali (Mt. McKinley) is reached by private helicopter. Manderson reports the staffing and cuisine at Alaska’s premier lodges are highly personalized, but cautions that one should not expect the same version of luxury found at traditional resorts. “Luxury lodges in Alaska provide five-star experiences but not necessarily five-star accommodations,” she explains of the high-end rusticity.

Maloney advises that the Alaska adventure company Within the Wild—its Tutka Bay Lodge sits near the tip of the idyllic Kenai Peninsula— can be relied upon for excellent cuisine, and that some bed-and-breakfasts scattered across the state offer luxury amenities. An altogether different experience is found at Borealis Basecamp, where clear-ceilinged igloos or cubes with floor-to-ceiling windows frame the northern lights from late-August to mid-April. For sports enthusiasts, Alaska offers an incredibly diverse array of activities, from kayaking and whitewater rafting to hiking and ice-climbing, not to mention dog sledding and some of the best fly-fishing in the world. And for more passive nature lovers, there are abundant opportunities for whale watching or bear viewing, while airplane or helicopter tours capture panoramic views of the expansive Arctic environment.

From humble beginnings, Anchorage has evolved into a vibrant city with a metro area population of about 400,000. So, in addition to the surrounding natural beauty, visitors can enjoy big-city attractions such as performing arts centers, museums, and an eclectic dining scene. Kathy Dunn, a representative of Visit Anchorage, reports, “There are 60 glaciers within 50 minutes of downtown, unspoiled wilderness just steps away, plus moose, bears and eagles within the city limits.” She adds, “At the end of the day, kick off your hiking boots and rest in the comfort of a luxurious cosmopolitan hotel.” Travel writer Maloney suggests, “Anchorage is a wonderful place to use as a basecamp, from which to take short day trips,” and Dunn advises travelers to include Alaska’s largest city in their itineraries. “Be sure to check out the Alaska Native Heritage Center, where you can learn about the state’s 11 major cultures, see Native dance performances and interact with artisans while they create beautiful works of art,” recommends Dunn.
