About this property

Studio is in the downstairs of a large 7,000 sq. ft. home that sits on a private 2.5 acre lot with spectacular panoramic views of the ocean and mountains. Located in a beautiful setting, you will enjoy overlooking Sitka Sound, outlying islands and passageways. Eagles are abundant during summer months and on occasion you may spot deer roaming in our yard, or get to see whales out front.
Studio is a spacious, 1,275 sq. ft. space with a private entry. You will find a large, open floor plan with a well-equipped kitchen, full bathroom (we have a shower-no bath) and sleeping area.
For those who enjoy the outdoors we have a nice outdoor space for you to enjoy. This includes table & chairs if you want to sit out. * There is a queen, double, & sofa sleeper for beds. I’d say 3 sleep comfortably if two are doubling up on the queen bed. There is a daily fee of $25.00 for each additional guest over 2. We provide most all the comforts of home inside this cozy space. *Cleaning fee of $200.00 will be charged IF rental is left a mess.
**Please note: Since this studio is a downstairs rental you will hear noise from above as it is our living space, mostly during the day. We have dogs so you will hear them move about or occasional barking alerting us that someone is coming or going.
Although we love kids our rental is not suited for small children, older children who can follow inside rules as far as noise, breakables and such are welcome but this is not a child proof rental.
We have TV but it is not cable, we use internet TV You Tube TV which has plenty of channels to enjoy. If you have a Netflix password you can use that here as well.
* If you are an agency or employer and are renting this for someone else please provide us their full names & contact info (phone number, & address) as we will expect the guest to be who is signed up on this site. You will take full responsibility for any damages or additional fees they incur. Thank you!

Fantastic stay and everything as advertised.

My wife and i are traveling Alaska, As we were driving to the home we thought “ how can the views be as good as they looked on the ad.” We were very happy as we arrived and we did see the fantastic views we were hoping for. Wow what a beautiful place and well managed. I would defiantly stay there again

Quiet luxury with a great view.

This property is exceptionally well-appointed and clean. Great views of the water from a hillside location. Very quiet night and day. A bit of a hike from town, but taxis are plentiful and affordable.

Absolutely beautiful location, of a lovely house! The amenities and decor were really great! My husband would rate this all 5 stars. I'm a clean freak and felt that there were areas that could use improvement. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would look forward to visiting again!

Beautiful Sitka home setting

This is a beautiful, well maintained property that easily accommodated 4 adults. Everything was neat and clean when we arrived. It is located just on the edge of town up on a hill. Gorgeous views and easy access to food and stores. It is beautifully decorated inside.

Great location but overpriced for value

Despite the nice location, clean apartment, stocked kitchen, and Val's effort to allow for an early check in, I would not recommend this place. Given the high price, I would not expect there to be so much noise from upstairs. The value for the price is not good.

Fantastic large studio

Impeccably clean and well stocked studio at the edge of the forest with a great view. Easily accommodates 4, could handle up to 7. You’ll want to have a car as it’s at the top of a big hill and taxi service in Sitka is hit or miss.

1st trip to Alaska

We came to Sitka to visit our son who is working there for the summer. Our stay was great. We were overwhelmed with the beauty of the island. I didn’t think seeing a Bald Eagle would ever become just another bird sighting, but there are a lot of eagles in Sitka! It was nice to have a rental car as the downtown area would have been a bit of a walk. The accommodations were great. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Couldn’t quite get used to it being pretty light at 10:00 pm, and 3:30 am. We had a great stay.

A week in Sitka

This is a beautiful studio apartment. We experienced great communication and response to inquiries. We picnicked on the deck with views of Mount Edgecumbe in the distance. The open floor plan is good for families or close friends. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed for the meals we elected to cook at home. As mentioned in the description we could hear the puppies playing upstairs at times but it was not a problem for us - we all have dogs at home! We truly appreciated the hospitality!

Gracious hosts, beautiful and comfortable home!

We had a lovely trip to Sitka! Val and Ty were excellent hosts, super friendly and helpful with ideas for touring the town, trails, and restaurants. Val waited up for us even though our flight got in after midnight and she was so helpful providing us with some requested breakfast items for our kids which made for easy mornings. The studio was spacious and well furnished and everything was very clean and tastefully decorated. Kitchen space is very nice with granite counters and new appliances. There is even a grill for use on the porch. Beds, including the pullout out couches, were comfortable and the linens were super cozy. Views from the house were amazing. It was fun to sit out on the porch and look out at the Sitka harbor. The location is very convenient. We had a car for part of our stay, but when we were on foot we were able to walk to downtown in about 25 minutes, the hill to the house is fairly steep so some people would probably prefer a car or the use of a taxi service. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Sitka!

About the host

Hosted by Ty & Val Barkhoefer

Born and raised here in Sitka Alaska. Attended school in both Sitka and Kenai. Commercial fishing is our way of life. Feel blessed to live in Alaska and in what I consider to be the most beautiful place on earth. Sitka is a special place and I hope your visit here will be an amazing time.

Why they chose this property

We are lucky to live in a beautiful setting and a quiet neighborhood. We fell in love with this home because we got the best of both worlds with the forest behind us and ocean views that make us never want to leave home.
