And our resident felines
The Valdez Lake House Bed and Breakfast is also home to two cats, Lady and Ryzsik, who are restricted from the guest rooms. They are very friendly and enjoy meeting our guests. If invited, they are happy to accompany our guests in their rooms. A woman from Russia visiting Valdez asked us if we would provide a home to her cat Ryzsik, which we did. The B&B can boast having the only Russian speaking cat in Valdez!
