Great location

We had a great stay. I wish I had noted that there were no queen or king size beds in the house, but that was my fault. The house suited our needs, it was clean, and we loved the area.

Great for a fishing vacation

Alex was super friendly, and helpful with some fishing advice. Even loaned some gear to help conserve bait. Baleen was comfortable, and a great place to relax after a day on the water. Will stay again.

Perfect Spot & Host

This neat little place was perfect for us! It had everything we needed! The marina we were fishing out of was located just around the corner from the house. Alex was a perfect host, had lots of helpful info for us months before our stay as well as during. The place is nice and clean, decorated in such a neat way with items native to Alaska! We enjoyed staying here and will stay here again if we ever come back to Ketchikan!

Alex was a superb host. He gave us excellent advice ranging from beer to fishing to places to hike and visit. His VRBO was exactly what we needed for the four of us. It was clean and comfy. His coffee grinder/maker made the best coffee! Thank you Alex for making our stay memorable!

Perfect location

We fished with Alaska Fishing Company and they dock at Clover Pass - this house was so close and was perfectly located for our early mornings at the dock. The house was easy to find and clean. The absence of a larger bed (only 4 twins) was a little odd but it worked fine for us for such a short stay. It was so quiet and the drive to town was beautiful and didn't take long.

Perfect Location - Close to Fishing - Short Drive to Town

We had a great stay at the property. All was functional and working. Beds were comfortable and had plenty of rest for active days. Owner was responsive and a wealth of knowledge on activities. We had four adults and were comfortable for our stay. We spent a few days fishing and a few days exploring town and hiking. Highly recommended! Thanks Alex - really enjoyed the trip - just wish we had more time there.

Perfect Place with a perfect host

The location of this property is less than a mile from Clover Pass. When we arrived early we were greeted by Alex who let us in immediately. Alex was a great host and helped us with all our questions as it was our first time to Ketchikan. The place was very nice and clean. I can’t imagine going back and not staying here. You won’t find another two bathroom place close to this price range. 5 stars on all accounts.
