So cozy!

My partner and I really enjoyed our time at the cabin. It was great walking everywhere and having such a beautiful view. We were just in time for a snowfall and the whole atmosphere just felt magical. Can’t wait to stay again someday.

Great stay!

We stayed here over a holiday weekend and while the weather was not always cooperative, we still had time to enjoy the deck and beautiful views that this rental cottage has to offer. It’s very comfortably sized and has the basic essentials to get you through a short stay. Communication with the property manager was always prompt. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to another one in the future!

Amazing views in wonderful cottage

Walking distance to everything. Amazing views from back porch. Nice comfortable interior with full kitchen for us to cook the fish we caught. Couldn't have asked for more.

Excellent Location

This is a great property for the price. Location in town was excellent and the Property Manager was very helpful. The fireplace was not working at the time, however there was a heating system which worked fine. The car rental location was next door, which was convenient, and you can’t beat the beautiful mountain view. Looking forward to our next visit to Haines.

Wow, what a pleasure to stay at Haines

I loved your little cabin by the sea. The view was fantastic. I enjoyed the front deck and each morning, drinking coffee and overlooking the bay. Had a wonderful surprise at 3 o’clock in the morning when the aurora borealis showed up was able to video from the back deck. The house is simple, but very comfortable and well equipped. Best place I’ve stayed at in Alaska so far. I’ve been here 2 1/2 weeks..

Stunning Views

Perfect place to stay! Walking distance to everything. Views of the water and mountains. We received a discounted price on our local excursion for booking with Randa. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, and had a well appointed kitchen. Randa was able to accommodate us with early check in and later check out times to coincide with the ferry schedule. Overall perfect trip!

Wonderful experience, very peaceful- Thank you Randa!

We loved our stay at The Cottage- it had everything we needed and Randa was extremely helpful and quick to respond when we had questions. The only thing that could be improved would be having blackout shades or curtains for the bedroom to aid in sleeping during the Summer months. Thank you again, Randa!

Amazing view!

We stayed here for two weeks. It was warm, cozy and plenty of hot water. Woke up and enjoyed watching the sun come over the mountains. Close to everything. Saw whales a few times from the deck. If you are sensitive to light or would just like to sleep in past 4:00am, bring your own eye masks, white mini blinds in the bedroom.

Beautiful spot

We were challenged a bit to locate the place, but what a find! A cute little cottage recently remodeled with exposed log beams in the living room, a dining area, kitchen wall, nice bedroom with a very comfy bed, and little bathroom. The view from the living room is of the inlet with water and jagged snow-capped mountains in the background. We loved staying here. The burly bearded neighbor is a kick! Get him talking about the history, and he won't stop!
