Amazing Location!

Our family of 9 stayed here for a week! The house is fabulous—we didn’t want to leave. We utilized the hot tub, sauna, fire pit and grill. We invited friends from town over for fresh Halibut and Salmon we caught. They told us they had all been to the house for a wedding or some function. It’s definitely a Sitka landmark. (We saw a bear and multiple bald eagles through the binoculars! ) Highly recommend this house!

Magical time spent at Golden Alaskan Lodge. Hosts for the cabin very attentive. Memories for 4 generations have been made and taken home with us. The views of Silver Bay are amazing. Humpback whales seen while drinking our coffee. Great hiking paths close by. My favorite was watching and listening to the eagles in their natural habitat.

Beautiful home - Needs some help.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very beautiful with fantastic views. Problems we had were: No shade on skylight over upstairs bed. With the long days that saw rising Sun at 4:30am and not dark until after 11pm. Interior felt overstuffed, not very comfortable. Upstairs bath has no shower. Stairs have very narrow treads and are carpeted. This always made us unsure of footing. If a guest used the bed on 2nd floor landing they have to go down at night for bathroom. The entire upstairs was not really very comfortable.

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.

A Memory Maker!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We rented this lodge with some of our best family friends so we had kids on the property with us. This cabin was perfect for our needs with an incredible view and lots of whale sightings! We enjoyed the outdoor amenities and the quiet it offered at the end of the road. With all that Sitka has to offer we spent little time indoors, but we did notice some upgrades that would help make a stay feel more at-home... the dryer and microwave were fidgety so appliance upgrades as mentioned in previous reviews would be helpful. The linens and towels are near the end and it was hard to get the towels dry with the current dryer. I realize these are little things when you are surrounded by complete magic, but these small changes could improve anyone’s experiences; especially since that hot tub is sure enticing and towels were gone through quickly! The host was extremely communicative and helpful, always making sure we had what we needed. He even called us while on a run to let us know whales were coming towards the house! That evening of whale activity alone will be a memory I hold near with my kids for a long, long time. You will rent this Lodge for an Alaskan experience and you will get just that. :)

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!

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.

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!
