By far, this property made our stay in Ketchikan. Nicole and Jim are the best hosts one could hope for. The property itself is in a gorgeous setting on the water. We loved our bunkhouse, and the outdoor kitchen made for one of my most treasured memories as my husband and grandson fished that day and grilled my dinner. My grandson set a beautiful table on the picnic table overlooking the water and we had a three hour gorgeous sunset to enjoy. We all loved spending time there and the hot tub was just perfect after a rainy, cold adventure. It was so nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of town yet close enough to get to it. Nicole helped us arrange an affordable car with a local vendor and was dedicated to making sure we had a great time with some local knowledge. Can’t say enough good things about this property. If you have a chance to stay there, do it!
