The apartment was clean, comfortable, well maintained, and well appointed. The host was very responsive and super helpful. I strongly recommend this spot!
Everything we needed for our Sitka stay. Just a short walk to two food trucks, a pizza place located inside a brewery, and a gas station convenience store. Easy walk to town through the Sitka National Historic Park; the trail wanders through lush temperate rainforest. If you are scent-sensitive, please note that a plugin air freshener is used in the apartment.
We enjoyed our stay, property was just what we needed...a place to sleep, shower and minimal cooking for a few days. Bed is against the wall on one side and squeaked when you rolled over, but that was the only downside to our stay. Overall we would give it an excellent rating.
If you just need a clean comfortable room for a night and prefer somewhere quiet near the forest rather than in the centre of town this would be a good choice. It’s just a bed, kitchen and bathroom but there are laundry facilities on site.
Super convenient location to go up or down island. We used car rental option and had three great extra days in Sitka. Nothing fancy but excellent welcome, communication and local insights.

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!
