This biker-themed studio is enhanced with Luxury granite and other stone finishes throughout. A piece of art ready to be showcased. Biker's Bungalow is decked out with Motörhead deco and is a super cool small space! Owner, Johney Engle uses his artistic talent to create amazing kitchens for homeowners.

He built his home and shop here with pride, branding it with custom rock and other 3-dimensional art pieces throughout. Your private studio apartment is no exception and host Johney will help you have a local Alaska experience! If you like the outdoors, you'll love the trails and fishing spots within walking distance.

An artist had a dream and he's inviting you to enjoy it. This is an experience, not just a place to stay. You'll be thrilled and inspired. Biker's Bungalow stories will be told as you recant your Alaska vacation memories into the future. Johney is passionate and fun. His work is unique. It's edgy, and it's hard-core. Much of his art is three-dimensional, assemblage style. Johney figured out that he could make kitchens into art, so he studied rock shops around the country, created his tools, and opened his stone fabrication shop in the garage of his home in 1999. Johney's eye for the perfect rock and design to match his customer's personality landed him on the cover of Southeast Living Magazine. He's a classic entrepreneur, turning one sale into another tool, and eventually, he built his shop in the back and expanded the home around it until a masterpiece was created, and ready to share with you. Self-portraiture by the late Skylar Engle is displayed throughout the property. These two Engle's have produced brilliant art, with outstandingly contrasting styles to interest you.

Lovely Stay
I really enjoyed most of my stay here. There were occasions when someone was walking loudly upstairs but it wasn't something that was upsetting. The one person I encountered during my stay was very friendly to me.
