Jennifer,
Thank you for choosing to stay at my place! I am glad to hear it fit your needs. You are welcome to stay whenever you are ready to visit Ketchikan again.
Safe travels! Laura
Great location. Comfortable setting. Nice little kitchen. On a hill so you get a view. Friendly owner. No TV. The deadbolt uses a code and is a pain to operate. Had to get help from owner first night because I couldn't get it open. Next day it was raining sideways as we tried for 5 minutes to get the door open. We ended up leaving the door unlocked after that instead of fighting with it.
This property was a great small apartment space. Clean and perfect location. Laura was great to work with and helpful when we had a question upon arrival. Thank you for sharing your home with us!! 😀
Laura’s place is real cozy and comfortable. She was great at making sure we had what needed and was very easy to get a hold of whenever we needed something
Laura and her studio we’re both even better than expected . We’ve rented a lot of vrbo and Airbnb etc and have never experienced a more attentive and caring property owner . Five stars is not enough .
Thank you very much 🙏😁
This cute little studio was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped(though a pizza cutter would be a nice addition😉).
There is a Safeway not far away and this allowed us to eat all of our breakfasts and most of our dinners at the rental. The main bed was comfy and even the sofa sleeper was decent.
Our only small complaint was the noise level from the owners upstairs home. Most times it was noticeable, but okay and mostly footsteps. One evening there was obviously a family gathering and the noise level was challenging. The owner was good about making sure things were quiet by 9:30-10:00 so there were no issues with getting a good night sleep. Loved the island and all in all had a great experience.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The property wasn’t large but they’ve used the space really well and our family of four never felt cramped.
There were lots of nice touches like local coffee and a fan for warm evenings.
This studio was perfect for our family of four. It was clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable. Even the pull out couch was a great place to crash for our two kids. We cooked several meals in the kitchen, so that was useful as well. You can get to downtown easily via a 15 minute walk or the free shuttle that travels downtown from the nearby mall. All of this was great, but the most redeeming quality of this place is the view. The picture provided doesn't do it justice. I found myself constantly looking out the window to take in float planes taking off and landing in the channel. We ate outside on the porch every chance we had. As we dined, we watched bald eagles float by or a distant thunderstorm produce lightning over the mountains. It was magical. This is definitely a special place.
Laura's studio apartment was a perfect place to stay during our visit with our son who resides in Ketchikan. Located close to the heart of Ketchikan, it has an amazing view of the waterways and all the amenities we needed to make our time with our son a very memorable vacation.
The view was great and the apartment was very clean and well stocked . It was very comfortable and we loved the little nook with the view of the channel. We had a wonderful time there.
For a small space the apartment is packed with essentials and charm. The view from the bay window and the deck is one of downtown Ketchikan's finest. Also happens to be minutes from most amenities like grocery store and coffee shops. Laura was so very hospitable, too!

Charming with beautiful views!
Such a charming place to come home to after a long day of touring! We loved everything about our stay here, especially the view. Laura’s studio was bright, tastefully decorated, and so very clean! It was well appointed which made it easy to prepare meals to save money. The neighborhood was quiet yet centrally located and just a short walk to the hustle and bustle of downtown. Accessibility could be a problem for those who have mobility concerns, as there was a long set of stairs to carry suitcases up from the parking area. Well worth the climb though for the outstanding views from the deck and bay window! I would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for being so wonderful to work with, Laura!

Great place to stay without a car!
We didn’t have a car so this place was conveniently located just up the hill from the bus stop and grocery store. It was nice and clean and comfortable. Thanks Laura!

Amazing Views
Loved our stay at this studio! The location was great, out of the center of the city, but only two blocks from the free downtown bus. The studio is very well decorated, the perfect amount of space for our stay, and had everything we needed (hair dryer, coffee, etc.). Laura has been very accommodating with our stay as well! Excited for anyone who gets a chance to stay here!
