An Unforgettable Alaskan Vacation!We cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable in this beautiful home. It was the perfect place for our family to relax, reconnect, and enjoy everything Alaska has to offer.This truly became one of our most memorable family vacations ever. The home had everything we needed, was clean, comfortable, and such a peaceful place to return to after our daily adventures. It was the perfect home base for exploring the breathtaking beauty of Alaska!Our adventures were incredible! Fishing, seeing humpback whales, hiking, and flying through the spectacular Misty Fiords. If you are looking for a flightseeing tour or an unforgettable Alaskan flyfishing experience, we highly recommend Family Air Tours & Hook Up Fly Shop. Absolutely awesome experience, personable, fun, and full of Alaskan knowledge. They didn’t just provide an excursion, they shared stories, taught us about Alaska, and helped create memories our family will never forget.Nicole was wonderful! Kind, thoughtful, and so accommodating. We especially appreciated her allowing us a little extra time before leaving; it made our last morning so much easier. Her hospitality and care made our experience even more special.We are so grateful we chose this home and we will be returning. If you are considering staying here, don’t hesitate, you will love it!Thank you, Nicole, for sharing your beautiful home!

This vacation rental is in a great location just far enough outside the bustle of Ketchikan to offer peace & quiet but not so far as to be inconvenient. Positives: The lodging is well appointed & our hosts left snacks, candy, coffee, seasonings, sodas and even few beers for us to enjoy. The property is located on the water & offers peekaboo views. Plenty of blankets and the heating is good. Shower is spacious. Beds are comfortable. Nice sheets & plenty of pillows. Direct TV was nice. Parking was plentiful. Bathing suits were provided if you forget yours. Negaives: there is one bathroom and the layout of the rental is such that others must pass thru the primary bedroom to get to the toilet. The water pump makes a noise after every flush & water dispenser is near the head of the primary bed & makes a periodic churning noise. The living room is absent window coverings & made for one embarrassing moment w/another guest. We had an unfortunate misunderstanding with the host: the VRBO listing said breakfast was included and since our ferry got in late, we didn’t stop to pick up groceries for breakfast thinking breakfast was included. When we mentioned this to the host, she was quite defensive and told us we were wrong & suggested we leave. We were not that put out by lack of breakfast but were merely informing her as a courtesy. She finally believed us once we showed her the screenshot of the listing where it said breakfast was included. She did not apologize, however. MAGA host.
