Clean, cozy, and great location. Make sure to look at the docks off to the left of the boat dock! We saw seals! Cabin was small and cozy, but had everything we needed.
Beautiful quiet little spot on the water. Everything was perfect and clean.

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.

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.
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!

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!
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!
We were attending a family event in Ketchikan in April. This property is about 5 miles north of town. It's a small apartment on the parking lot side and lower level of the owner's home. The apartment is relatively new, with a full size oven and stove, plenty of kitchen items such as pots, pans, baking sheets, bowls, various utensils and basics such as spices and condiments. It has a smaller refrigerator and a separate smaller freezer. Comfortable seating with a couch and a chair is in the living area, and folding TV trays provide optional table space if needed. A bar with barstools separate the kitchen and the living area.TVs are in the front room and the bedroom.The bedroom and bathroom are separated from the kitchen and living areas by a door. The bedroom has a very comfortable bed, bedside tables with lamps, a smaller closet with hangers, and a desk. The bathroom is equipped with a shower.The owner/host is friendly and very responsive. The owner's family is a long-time Ketchikan family, and has recommendations and experiences to share upon request!We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with this host and on this property. I hope it will be available the next time we go up to visit family. It's a great location right by the water and a marina, and not too far from beaches.
Great place to stay. Quiet, very clean with all the necessities. It was a convenient location between town and the north end. Will stay here again when visiting family.
Host was very welcoming, house was stocked with basic supplies. Accommodation was very comfortable, and we enjoyed waking up to see seals our first morning. We will look forward to a future stay. Highly recommended!
Excellent hosts! Needed in a little early due to flights and the host was a great help. The basis bus route is right there so travel into Ketchikan was not difficult. Nice place for just the two of us!
Great place for solo or couple travelers. Clean, clean, clean! located far enough from town to be relatively quiet, yet close enough to be convenient. Remember your house shoes this is a no shoes place as I’ve found common in Ketchikan. Would stay here again!

Great place to stay on our fishing trip. Jason was super friendly and more that willing to ensure we had everything we needed. Place was super clean and had an amazing view of the bay. We will be coming back!!
The apartment was exactly as advertised. Everything was super smooth with check-in and check-out. The views out the window are to die for and was a highlight to the trip. I would stay there again and again.
