Work/Family Getaway

We were upgraded to a larger unit for free. Clean. Quiet. Beautiful view. Great environment to come after being out in the cold/rain!! Everything needed to be comfortable. Effective written directions during stay. Willingness to accommodate extra requests. Will attempt to stay at this lovely place when visiting Ketchikan on a monthly basis.

It is All About the View

I chose this rental for the view and it did not disappoint. Wonderful view. Mindy was very responsive to my inquiries. The entry was a bit tricky, but my tech-savvy husband figured it out (you have to touch the screen to make it light up). It comes with a full kitchen which we did not use since we were only staying two nights and there aren't any food stores within walking distance. We took the stairs down once and avoided them after that. Slippery (because it is always rainy/misty) and the banister is old and full of slinters. But we used the road and it made for an easy climb back up. Gotta "pay" for that view!

About the host

Hosted by Mindy Rowser

Born and raised in Ketchikan, Alaska. We've come back to our stomping grounds to raise our family. We have lived all over the country and traveled extensively abroad, we love staying in vacation rentals to really enjoy the whole experience and have space to explore. We invite you to be our guest and hope to make your trip an amazing experience.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property for its unparalleled views, location & accessibility. When locals come into our home, they often say we have the best view in town. We love the fact that you get that downtown "big city feel" on the weekends with live music and amazing food atmosphere but also you have this historic neighborhood that we're a part of with our friends of 40 years all up and down the street. It's a perfect combo for us and for our guests.

What makes this property unique

You don't even need a car if you don't want one. Walking distance to everything. Take a cab/city bus (then cab) if you have heavy bags. It's centrally located and guests continuously say "The views and place were better than described/imagined" Take note we are up a hill. Going down to the city is easy and quick... coming back up... gives you a great cardiac workout. I suggest you walk down and grab a $4 cab back up if you have luggage or groceries or have mobility issues.
