History of the Solomon Bed & Breakfast

In 1939, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) was responsible for instructing the children of Solomon area. The BIA school opened in 1940 and remained in operation until 1956 when administrators closed the facility in a cost saving effort. Many families had moved to surrounding communities in order to continue their children's education.

Five decades later, the Village of Solomon applied for and received a U.S. Department of Economic Development Administration grant to renovate the abandoned BIA schoolhouse into a viable community center and tourism venture. The Solomon Bed & Breakfast was a remarkable project envisioned by the Village of Solomon's tribal council, community at large and many individuals. After three summers of renovations the vision came true and opened it's doors in 2006.​

The Solomon Bed & Breakfast is a charming, historic renovated schoolhouse, located at mile 34 of the Nome/Council Highway, near the Iditarod trail between the White Mountain and Safety checkpoints offering a quiet retreat setting with four guest rooms, each with private bathroom and patio. Guests have access to a state of the art kitchen and dining hall for a continental breakfast. Guests have access to wireless internet throughout the building, our barbecue grill, and use of the canoes and kayaks.
