2 bedroom house, one bedroom has skylight which made sleeping difficult with 20 hrs of daylight in Alaskan summers! Bathroom small, climb-in tub with hand shower and curtain. May be hard for those with limited mobility to use the climb-in tub. Owners live adjacent⊠helpful and friendly but not intrusive. Comfortable for 2 couples with short stay.
Loved this location, quiet but close to town. Special bonus is the full size washer and dryer. Hosts were responsive but not intrusive. Front porch is nice for chilling out.
We loved everything about it. Very comfortable and relaxing environment.The staff was excellent and saught to our every need. The town and its people were great and we had a blast. We are definitely coming back soon and hope to reserve the same place.

I was traveling with kids and looking for a relatively inexpensive, basic, non-Instragramable place to stay, and I chose this place based on the favorable reviews. It was a major disappointment, and my experience was very different from those in the other reviews. Lightning was very poor, including floor lamps without knobs and low wattage bulbs. This is a big deal in a town with 16 hours of nighttime. The kitchen is extremely small, with about three feet of partial countertop, crammed into a corner up against the refrigerator. The dishes and silverware weren't clean and several had food from the last guests still stuck to them. Cabinets in the bathroom were coming apart. There was no central heat, only a stove in the living room and space heaters everywhere else. It mostly hasn't been rewired to support three pronged lamps and things, so there are power strips for most electric outlets, which is a fire hazard, a trip hazard, and also unsightly. There's no table or desk, only a kind of breakfast bar area that has cabinets under it so there's no space for your legs. The owner took several days to respond to one query, and more than a day to respond to another. It's also half of a duplex, which isn't mentioned in the listing. I happened to meet the owner when she came to pick up a couple packages that had been sent there, albeit more than 24 hours after delivery, and she seemed nice. But that's about the only positive thing I can say about this place.
We arived in the middle of the night and check in was easy. The neighborhood was quiet so we could sleep in the next morning. The apartment was comfy and well furnished. We could easily walk the 15 to 17 minutes it took to get to downtown Sitka.We enjoyed the historic park full of totem poles; and the BEAK restauramt was fanbulous! It was a nice prelude to the small ship cruise the next day.
good value for the money.. location made for easy access to everything in sitka... only issue would be with the shower and lighting... Im 6'4 and my head hit the ceiling in the shower and there wasn't much pressure...
We were only able to stay a few hours at the house due to huge travel delay. Everything was great! Owner was easy to contact and very accommodating. Thanks
Basic but clean. Great location for walking in Sitka. Could use more lighting, a little dark. Worked for our family of 5, but felt a little cramped. Good value for the price!
We loved every aspect of our stay here. Julie and Brian were wonderful hosts, and extraordinarily accommodating. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, it's a 2 minute walk to the Fisheye coffee shop, another minute to the supermarket, a 10 minute walk to downtown and a 20 minute walk to the Sitka Historic Park. This is the first place we'll look for next time we're in Sitka.
I have never had a more accommodating host. Julie was quickly responsive, assisted us with all of our needs, even provided additional support when we thought we might be stranded an extra night due to weather.
The house was cozy, warm, and the perfect location. It was four of us ladies and we used the home as a base for our grand hiking adventures. Would 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back!
Property is in great location, can walk to grocery store or downtown. Everything we needed was provided. Great pillows! Washer and dryer are brand new and amazing. Hosts are very kind and responsive. Quiet family neighborhood. Claw foot big tub. We would stay here again.
Really...why stay in a hotel when you can have a house for much less?
I'm a frequent visitor to Sitka and glad I found this property. The owners are great, very responsive and it's a great neighborhood. Within a 5 minute walk, there are groceries, coffee and the waterfront. If it's available on my next trip to Sitka, I'll be there.
