I've stayed at this property many times over the years, and that alone probably says everything. Every visit has been consistently excellent. The home is comfortable, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The location is fantastic, and walking distance to downtown Valdez.What keeps bringing me back, though, is the reliability. The property is exactly as described, communication is always easy, and everything is ready when I arrive. In a world where consistency can be hard to find, this place delivers every time.

Great stay

This historical house made a great home for our trip to Valdez. It is close enough to walk everywhere and far enough away to get rest from the bustle. Bring your own food prep items. The place is very clean and the pantry is very limited.

Outstanding Property

The remodeled historic home was cozy, all the amenities you need, and within walking distance to Valdez harbor…an ideal setting surrounded by mountains and ocean. The property owners were responsive, friendly and worked with us to extend our stay when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. One of the best rentals we have ever stayed.
