Property Description
We'll leave the lights on for ya! This charming home sits next door to Tom Bodett's former residence—yes, the voice behind the iconic Motel 6 commercials. It's said this is where he penned his famed radio transcripts, adding a touch of Alaskan folklore to the property's rich history.
