About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Million Dollar Water View on Historic Street
Centrally located a short 10 minute walk to town. The 1930 home has been totally remodeled but has kept the luster of its era with the original hardwood floors and built in linen pantry. The bathroom has in floor heated tile and a large shower stall. The rooms are tastefully decorated with the original wood floors. With a million dollar view of the Tongass Narrows you can watch cruise ships anchor, fishing boats transit and eagles hover overhead while you enjoy your morning coffee or evening drink watching the sunset. The kitchenette has a sink, mini refer, coffee maker, microwave, toaster and all the utensils and serving dishes needed for your use. Because of insurance regulations there is not a stove. The rates are for one room with 2 persons. You can rent the other two rooms for a rate of $35 per each additional guest ages 6 years and older, per night. Children 5 and younger ate $25per night. This is NOT a shared space. In other words once you make your reservation the other 2 rooms are blocked off, unless of course you reserve them, so that just you and your guest have the total area to yourselfs. This is a two story home, I live on the bottom floor and your area is the upstairs. You do have a private entrance with a cipher pad with your personal code so that you can enter or exit as you please. For your convenience you'll have access to a washer and dryer with laundry soap, bleach etc and an ironing board and iron. A hair dryer is available too. Why stay in a hotel when you can stay at a place that you'll fell like your home away from home with one of the best views in town. Two rooms have queen beds and the third room has a bunk bed with a full mattress (slightly smaller than a queen), on bottom and a single mattress on top.

Incredible Gem
This property is so perfect for a small group of friends or family that don’t mind going on a short walk to get to Creek Street or downtown. The views are stunning, we counted 15 Bald Eagles at one time, especially when the fishing lodge below is cleaning their catch. The owner is extremely nice and happy to help you enjoy your stay. Would highly recommend this place to stay!

Great Host, Great Location
John was a great host for our Bed and Breakfast stay, he served a robust breakfast for 3 days of our 7 day stay. Seven of us stayed at the property. Property has a fantastic view, eagles, float planes, fishing boats and cruise ships every day. Easy walk to downtown for the parade and dinner. Ketchikan parking is always tight so it was great to have a parking spot. Highly recommend this property.

Dad's 50th State
Alaska was the 50th state for 83 yr old Dad to vist and we chose Ketchikan. Captain John was very helpful and accommodating. The place was clean, charming, and a great place for our group of 6 adults to relax and plan our excursions. The view is AMAZING! Location is perfect for our needs. I would stay here again and I highly recommended this place.

loved the view!
So fortunate to spend a sunny week enjoying Ketchikan and the view from this comfortable location. Spent our mornings on the upper deck watching all the activity on the water and the afternoons enjoying the sights around the area. Area buses are available after a short walk down the hill. Captain John is a great host!

Fishing getaway
We had 6 men staying in this property which was definitely the maximum. Probably really comfortable for a group of four.
John, our host, was spectacular. Very generous and accommodating in all respects. View is great and accommodations were clean and comfortable. Only real drawback was the lack of a cooktop but we were eating out anyway so it really didn’t matter to us. John really went beyond what is normal to make sure we were well accommodated. Great place and great time!

Wonderful accomodations!
This exceeded our expectations! The apartment was furnished with lovely antiques, tastefully decorated and was spotlessly clean. Kitchenette was nicely set up with mini-fridge, microwave, tea kettle and plenty of coffee, tea, hot chocolate etc. Our host was very responsive - one day there was a minor internet hiccup, and he had someone over to re-set the router immediately. Beautiful view, quiet bedrooms with good beds, and a pleasant 10 minute walk into town. Highly recommend!

We came here for the weekend to do some kayaking. John was an amazing host. It was an easy check in process. The views were beautiful. The location was perfect. We could walk to town with an easy stroll. To top it off, he made us breakfast Sunday morning. What a pleasant surprise!

If you want to stay in Ketchikan near the town and the cruise ships this is a great spot to stay.
