About this property
Cozy and private home away from home! Ask about the car rental option!
Enjoy the comforts of home, more privacy than a hotel, at half the cost of hotels in Sitka! This is a cozy child friendly studio apartment, located near town. There is a full kitchen in the apartment, as well as a comfortably proportioned bathroom. We offer extra items you may need in a lending room that is located in the shared onsite laundry room. You may borrow and return items before your departure. Items include beach towels and blankets, cooler, bikes, carseat, high chair, etc.

About the host
Hosted by Candace Michelle Rutledge
I am a graduate of The University of Georgia with degrees in Anthropology, Womens Studies, and Classical Culture.
I returned from a 5 year stay in South Korea and a friend convinced me to come up to Sitka. Long story short, I instantly was mesmerized by the nature here and decided to stay.
Hobbies: Reading, hiking, swimming..

Why they chose this property
I'm happy to contribute my perspective as a world traveler to the properties I manage in Sitka, AK, I seek to make folks from all walks of life and places of origin feel at home in the properties that I manage.
What makes this property unique
The properties at 1209 Sawmill Creek Road in Sitka, AK are pretty centrally located without being locked in the downtown bustle of the cruise ship tourism chaos. It is a peaceful location with wonderful brewery and pizza restaurant a stones throw away!
