Great 1 bedroom apartment north of town!

We had an excellent stay for just two nights. Arrived in the dark and owner popped out to say hi. Very gracious. The place feels new and was spotless. Kitchen was very complete.

My third time at this lovely location; 5 star all around!

It's such a convenient (to town) location but also super nice. This time, there was a ton of amenities in the kitchen, from cooking oils, coffee grounds, seasonings and way more. The hosts are very gracious. If I have a concern (bears and garbage are one) they help me out, which I very much appreciate.I'll be back the end of January (barring bad weather) to visit with my family. I'll be looking forward to my 'get' away ...from work and stress, plus seeing my mom, sister and brother plus their awesome families!

In town for a family wedding and had a great visit. The apartment met our needs well. Jason happened by early in our stay and offered to bring more blankets, towels, or whatever else we needed. Overall a very good experience!

Beautiful, relaxing private apartment

Warm wood, great colors, perfect for one person or a couple. On the waterfront in Ketchikan. I found this place to be a retreat like location. The hosts were very responsive to my several questions.

Cozy place, very convenient to North Shore fishing!

This was a perfect place for my teenage daughter and I to stay during our week-long fishing trip. It is far enough out of Ketchikan to avoid the cruise-ship mobs, but is very close and convenient to Cedar Grove, Knudsen, the Lighthouse mini grocery store, and Walmart. It is also a short drive to Ward Lake and the north shore parks and coves. The apartment is on a quiet little street, and Jason went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The blow-up mattress was a nice quality big model, so my daughter slept well after a day battling salmon. Finally, this is a truly-detached unit, which was very welcome. Highly recommended!

Convenient comfy place In Ketchikan

This was a great place to stay. The owners said they wanted to make it a place they would like to stay in, and they definitely achieved the goal. The apartment was well apportioned with everything we needed. It was immaculately clean. We particularly liked being out of town, just a few miles, on a cove in a marine setting. Since the owners live on site there is a bit of noise that radiates to the apartment. But they are up front about it on the VRBO listing and it was never a problem for us. We’ve stayed in a number of VRBO’s over the years / this was really well done.

Great stay in Ketchikan

We use VRBO and Air B&B almost exclusively anymore and this place was one of the best if not best places we stayed. The place was immaculately clean and had all the things we needed. We had great rapport with the owners. We particularly liked being right on the water in a cove. The owners live on site and are careful to be honest that sound does radiate from their home to the apartment. It was true but never a problem for us. We appreciate the truthfulness - that tells you a lot about the people you’re working with. Checkin was great. Especially appreciated the screen / display that had information about things to do in the area, the weather, and property information. The place is about 5 minutes from town which we prefer. Town is crowded and full of tourists during cruise season.

Wonderful stay

This was a perfect spot for us. Such a beautiful spot on the water! We loved the fact that it was out of town, and the bus to and from town was very easy to manage. We came in October and even with some wind and rain it was beautiful. The hosts were very nice and accommodating and made us feel at home. Great little cozy getaway!

Very new and modern. Clean. Neighborhood is not the same level as the condo. The main house is attached and you’ll hear the owners though it was quiet during sleeping hours.
