Gulkana River Ranch B-n-B is owned and operated by Chad and Kelly Gerlach. Kelly's Grandpa, Ken Sailors, homesteaded the land in 1967. His dream is to keep the 77-acre homestead a place where his family and their guests can enjoy the solitude of the pristine Gulkana River and surrounding forests, as well as one of the best fishing spots in Alaska.
Your hosts, Chad and Kelly Gerlach, have lived in the Copper River Basin for nearly 30 years. Chad guided on the Gulkana River for eight years and willingly shares fishing tips and secrets for the do-it-yourself fisherman. A former commercial fisherman in Bristol Bay, Chad currently teaches and coaches wrestling at Glennallen School. His wife, Kelly Gerlach, is a former English teacher. She is now a mother of five, cross-country and track coach, and the Prevention Coordinator at the Copper River Basin Child Advocacy Center.
We have lived and traveled all over Alaska—from the Arctic Circle to Southeast and quite a few areas in between. We love to ski, hike, climb, hunt, explore and, of course, fish. If you are thinking of visiting a certain area, feel free to chat with us about what different places around Alaska have to offer.
We don't travel to other states and countries as extensively as we used to, so we love that our guests come to us. We've had the privilege of fishing with and hosting folks from England, Russia, Poland, Canada, and all of the major regions of the United States. When we hear your stories, we feel like we've experienced a small corner of your world and that is one reason we love what we do. We are looking forward to sharing our wilderness with you.
