The Sapling - hot tub, outdoor fireplace & fire-pit close to airport, shopping

The Sapling is largest of the Spruce Houses three units nestled in the Tongass National Forest, offering convenient access to various amenities such as the airport, shopping centers, restaurants, hiking trails, and more. The property is surrounded by stunning landscaping that complements the majestic sitka spruce trees.

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit has an open living floor plan with a modern farmhouse feel. As you arrive, you'll be greeted by a covered veranda equipped with rocking chairs. The interior is filled with natural light, creating a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.

The dining area can accommodate up to 10 guests, and there is additional island seating for 4. From here, you can enjoy views of the expansive veranda and garden. The well-appointed kitchen features a natural stone backsplash, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher and refrigerator/freezer), microwave, propane cooktop/oven, pantry, and garbage disposal.

The primary bedroom boasts a queen-sized bed and en suite bathroom with a walk-in glass-enclosed shower and a spacious custom closet. The guest bedroom also has a queen-sized bed and a built-in closet. The guest bathroom, located off the hallway, features a walk-in glass-enclosed shower. Additionally, there is a stacked washer/dryer off the kitchen for your convenience.

The outdoor living spaces provide a haven for relaxation and enjoyment. You can make use of the covered barbecue station, a 4-person hot tub, swinging chairs, and an outdoor fireplace with comfortable seating for conversations. Whether you prefer al fresco dining on the covered veranda or roasting marshmallows under the starry sky with twinkling lights overhead, the property offers the perfect setting to refresh your spirit amidst nature's beauty.

The carport is well-lit and can accommodate two vehicles, and there is plenty of parking available. The property is also ideal for hosting large gatherings such as birthdays, baby showers, wedding showers, weddings, receptions, corporate events, and family reunions. It caters to both leisure and business travelers, as well as out-of-town guests visiting locals. All events are subject to owner written prior approval.

A lovely place to stay! The property was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay again. My only critique is that the listing description does not mention that there are multiple units on the property and they share the outdoor space, spa tub/grill/fire pit, it turned out not to be a problem but was a surprise. Also to note is the non-smoking (including vapes) and no pets applies to the outside space as well as the understandable inside.

Nice Stay but...
The overall experience was good considering we were surrounded by family and friends to remember and celebrate our Father who passed. Some drawbacks were the homeowner double booking the property and not being able to check in at midnight as pre-approved. We had to look for a hotel and after 2 failed attempts finally found one at 2am with sleepy kids and it was pretty expensive! After zero apology or acknowledgement, I was told she couldn't find our convo or my number which she texted me on that morning. Wasn't a great start. The overall space is shared among 3 different rental units and the owner is on site, often. 11 visits that we knew of including a bizarre visit in the evening that felt rather intrusive. There are a lot of rules that you are not aware of until you are in the home and honestly it created a rather anxious stay. The home is a beautiful renovation in a nice location, so that was good. It accommodated a nice group of us which was a plus; the large table was perfect for cards, dice, dinners, laughter, and catching up! If you are ok with sharing the property and amenities with others and a homeowner that seems to always be there than it will be fine. The house is beautiful (there are several rules to keep it that way, most are common sense but just know they will be provided when you arrive). It is close to a lot of fun things! I hope whatever experience you have, it is amazing because Juneau is an absolutely incredible place to visit!

Great family accommodations
We are a family of 5 with young children and we loved it! The property had all the amenities that was needed to live comfortably. The kitchen was fully stocked and the home was cozy and comfortable. The yard was great for playing and even had some yard games. The owner was lovely and welcoming. Would 100% stay here again!
