About this property

Thimbleberry Bay House

With an open concept and rustic finishes, the Thimbleberry Bay House is the ideal getaway for all visitors. This waterfront property, which sits on 4 acres, is surrounded by Sitka spruce trees, a favorite landing spot for bald eagles. Several trails lead down to the home’s private beach, where guests can launch one of the kayaks included with their stay. The hot tub, which offers idyllic views of Thimbleberry Bay, is the perfect spot to take in Alaska while enjoying a glass of champagne. The house can accommodate up to 9 guests in its 2 bedrooms and loft. This home offers a large dining room table that is great for social gatherings and large family-style meals. The master bedroom, which houses a convertible king bed, connects to an en suite bathroom and includes a daybed perfect for cozying up with a good book. In addition to a fully equipped kitchen, a large barbecue is located on a covered porch off the main entry. Rain or shine, guests can grill up some of their favorite dishes while watching the whales and sea lions that frequent Thimbleberry Bay. With panoramic views, a private beach, and the small details are taken care of, this private cabin in the woods captures the allure of the Alaska wilderness with all the comforts of home.

The only comments I would have is that the 2nd bathroom is on the main floor so if you are sleeping upstairs you will need to go down one floor.

Great house, property and views

This was a great location, very remote and quiet. The perfect Sitka house to experience Alaska! We loved the Eagles soaring through the valley, the access to the water at low tide was so great for the kids. The dock was perfect for fishing from, doing a polar plunge off of and borrow the paddle boards. We spent hours down there. The hot tub was in great working condition, and the views from there were tremendous! For our group of 8 we could have used a 3 bathroom but we made do. The house was very clean with plenty of dishwasher soap, dish soap, laundry soap, etc. plenty of spices which was nice because we cooked all our meals. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Wonderful Thimbleberry Bay stay

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: We loved the location and the was a little hard for us coming from the south and not having window covers for the early light, but it was worth it for the view. I also didn't understand from the photos that the loft room had the two larger beds and the room upstairs with a door had the 2 smaller beds...this could've just been me :-). We also were confused about what cans to use in the kitchen for recycling ...

The location and privacy are dreamy and hard to beat. Nestled in the forrest with walking access to the water is very special. The interior features big picture windows, a spacious and well equipped kitchen and the most beautiful art throughout. The Sitka Travel Team was outstanding providing easy communication, prompt replies and willingness to accommodate us. I cant wait to stay here again!

Exactly What We Needed

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: Our family needed a getaway after a family loss in the winter, and this was exactly what we needed. We are a family of five with three young daughters, but during our two week stay we were joined by a Grandma and my sister's family of five for a week of that. It was a perfect home to hold us all while we basked in the glory of Sitka. We kayaked, explored the private beach, made s'mores and went into the hot tub every day. The property manager was extremely professional and communicate, as always (this is our third time using Sitka Travel!) and the home was clean, equipped with every thing we needed. We will remember this trip forever and are already looking forward to making a return trip to Sitka from Indianapolis in the summer of 2025.

Excellent vacation house

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: Absolutely wonderful, we could not have asked for anything else. The house was beyond beautiful. If I had anything challenging to say was that most of the sleeping area was upstairs ..... where there isn’t a bathroom. That is only a potential problem because we had 3 small children who had to navigate the stairs at night. Other than that perfect. Private dock to fish / paddle board / kayak. Will return!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: An absolutely magical stay in the Thimbleberry Bay House. Incredible location, comfortable in all ways... we enjoyed the kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, strolling through the wood, and collecting berries. We jumped in the ocean off the dock and it was chilling, but perfect! Private, but not too far from town. Amazing hosts, we couldn't have been happier. Mahalos!

Reviewer Comments: Thimbleberry Bay House was a great home base from which to explore Sitka. A rental car was a must as it's a few miles from the main core of Sitka, but it was so worth it! The house has an amazing view of the bay from every room! We could just sit and watch the eagles soar!! They offer a hot tub and kayaks as well. It was clean and comfortable and well stocked.
