Great Vacation Home
Great location overlooking the bay. Lots of beds, complete kitchen and laundry...everything you need. Plus the hot tub and sauna are a big plus. If you have a full house, bathrooms might be a little tight...esp if you have lots of females in your group.

The View is Worth the Journey - Absolutly Stunning
My wife and I never expected such a fantastic experience and our children and grandchildren loved every minute. The views from the lodge are breathtaking and my wife saw a Humpback Whale breach in Silver Bay right outside the window within 10 minutes of arrival. The Lodge is very comfortable with every amenity you could want and some that you would never expect to find in an ordinary rental. The owners went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. All we did not need was a TV as there is so much to do and see that we did not turn it on once. Even the grandkids did not bother with it. The natural beauty of the Sitka area is stunning - a magical rain forest.! I highly recommend the vacation destination and the Lodge. Can't wait to get back next year!

This home is all about the location. The views are amazing, close to the trail and there is an EAGLE nesting on the property. Not sure it gets any cooler than that. Moring coffee and evening cocktails had a phenomenal view. Read prior reviews and think people are to harsh. Yes, the decor is older and worn but you are in Alaska and will not beat this location. Property Manager was very helpful. Quick to respond. I will say if you have 10 people the sleeping arraignments are not available. Roll out was provided but no where to really put it. Also, keep an open mind about the upstairs bathroom. Lacks privacy but has an amazing view! Thank you for sharing your home, we loved our stay.

Gorgeous home with stunning views
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of four stayed five nights in this lovely secluded home with stunning views. It was a perfect place in Sitka to put down roots and do daily activities. The location is very private and beautiful, with views of fishing boats coming and going and a resident eagle's nest on site. Easy access to path to the rocky shore across the street. Hot tub was especially well positioned and lovely. Plenty of space for everyone. Kitchen well stocked and easy to use. There are a few things that could be different: no/very little shampoo and bath soap, which is surprising for a property of this quality, outdoor pebble cement patio is very painful on bare feet and needs an outdoor rug or mat to make it usable, and easy to get to hot tub, as house is "shoes off", very old grill needs replacement, as we were excited to grill our freshly caught fish and found it poor condition. Otherwise perfect!

A Wonderful Place To Visit
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Let me just say that this rental is in one of the most beautiful places I have ever traveled. The location and views from the house are unapparelled. We spent a ton of time on the deck and just taking in the magnificent vista. The house and furnishings were adequate. There are some updates that could be done to make it a truly perfect experience. Windows could use some functional help. The refrigerator is super loud and needs to be replaced as it is clearly 20 years old. Some of the interior trim needs to be affixed, new furnature, grill is poorly maintained, etc. However, the house was clean, nicely decorated and the hot tub is a perfect way to end or begin a day here. The eagles nest was a source of constant entertainment. Would definitely recommend this house for anyone visiting Sitka.

The home is very comfortable, tons of space, really utilized the upstairs for more sleeping arrangements. The hot tub was super clean and easy to use. The view was the best! The windows frame up bear mountain beautifully and I couldn’t have asked for a better night stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is located in an incredible location with stunning view over the Silver Bay. The view itself sells Alaska. The property is clean and with lots of Alaska touches, incredible authentic decor and Alaska is felt in every piece of the furniture and layout. Would recommend, BUT some things need to be fixed\changed:new towels (some of the towels were old and they have seen better days)handles knobs in bathrooms are loose and the person can not lock it when using it. Also want to mention that the response from the manager and owner was right there and got all the support and requests answered and managed exceptionally well and professional. would recommend and would book that property again!

Amazing views, location, and super clean!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: With no other homes in sight (other than an eagles nest in the front yard), be prepared for all the privacy you could want as you enjoy the views of the bay. We found the home to be nicely appointed with everything you would need for a restful stay or gourmet meal. The sauna and hot tub made for a nice end to the day, too! Only thing missing was room darkening window treatments. Other than that, this is the nicest vacation rental in Sitka. You can’t go wrong so book it!

Great view, misleading property
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I will give credit where due. The views are breathtaking. But the house itself is not great. First, this is a 2 bedroom 1 bath home. What they have in the upstairs loft is an open area with crammed in beds. A bathroom with only 2 walls overlooking the rest of the house. No one is using that. No black out curtains upstairs, so the skylight over the queen bed gets that 4AM direct hit of sun. Which doesn't matter anyway, because again, it's an open space so you're getting sun from the rest of the house. The beds, linens, towels, and appliance all appear to be from the 80s. They are uncomfortable, dingy, overused. Furniture was crammed in ever corner, making it impossible to fully open several doors. The house itself was only clean superficially. Do not go searching for that lost sock under the bed, you'll be in for a dusty dirty surprise. I have also never experienced sofas so uncomfortable. This place is in desperate need of some updates and renovations. But it's Sitka, housing is at a premium. Doubt it will ever get there, and still guests will pay an arm and a leg. Just know what you're getting yourself into.

Cute Spot But Not What Advertised
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property has an exquisite view. Location/Property is not accurate as it is advertised and neither is the amenities. The hot tub was broken and it was not disclosed. The jet tub upstairs has broken jets and the water heater cannot accommodate the filling of the tub. When we arrived we found dirty underwear and socks upstairs in the loft. The property is advertised as a 4 bedroom but there is 2 proper bedrooms downstairs. Upstairs there is a bed in the loft with an adjoining bedroom that has an additional adjoining office type room with a small bed. You need to walk through the bedroom to get to the other room and the bathroom is open so you can hear every noise. The cleaner came mid stay to take the vacuum. The towels in the cabinet were full of dog hair and the house was not very clean. Would pay more to stay somewhere a little nicer and well kept.
