Very nice house
They thought of just about everything! My only 2 complaints were a very annoying clicking clock in my room which was easily disabled (took out the battery) and a turpentine-like smell throughout the common areas only (pretty strong). The bed was very comfortable, had a full bathroom and fridge in my room and a space heater when the radiant floor heater couldn't quite do the job. VERY clean nice house :)

Convenient to public transportation and Auke Bay. Difficulty getting into room due to broken key lockbox. House was dark upon arrival, very uncomfortable walking into unfamiliar property knowing house has shared roo.s with other tenants.

Luxurious peace and quiet!
I booked a short stay to extend my time in Juneau at the end of a guided trip. What a perfect way to end my travels! Worn out from a couple of week’s worth of on-the-go activities, I had a chance to slowly savor the beauty of Alaska and rest in the comfiest bed ever with a hot shower. Nice place!

My husband and I stayed at this location, both at the beginning and end of our trip. It was a great place to stay! The room was clean, the bed was fantastic, no issues with anything at the location. Parking is simple with easy access into the house. The shared space in the larger portion of the home is kept very well. The granite work is also beautiful. There are other rooms available at the same site. We will look into them for future trips. We would recommend staying here.

Short visit before cruise
Very pleased to find this at a price that allowed us to also rent a car...both for less than the cost of a Juneau hotel. Used kitchen to store our breakfast and picnic food for daily outings. Loved all of the granite and unusual and interesting decor. Room always seemed too warm and no screens on windows. Opened windows anyway, which allowed the first mosquito of the season to find us. Would absolutely recommend. Bed was super comfortable. Place was very clean.

If you want to spend a few days in Juneau, this is the place. Close to Mendenhall glacier, close to the airport, and a short drive to downtown. Just rent a car and be at your leisure. Room was neat & clean, bathroom was a nice size and the shower cpuld fit 2 adults no problem. Kelli was very helpful with check in & out, as well as booking excursions around town. Great location and would stay again in a heart beat.

The location was amazing. I wanted to stay out of the cruise ship traffic and this place served me well, and was a 20-min walk to a fab whale watching excursion. Renting a car was extremely helpful, however, as it was out of town a bit. The room was clean and lovely. The kitchen was not a place I felt comfortable using, as it was shared with the property owner and not quite what I was expecting. I woke up every morning at 5:30 am because of noise in the house.

Clean and easy
Nothing particularly fancy, but a nice clean room and good for the price. There's no independent thermostat control, but a plug-in fan and cracked window dealt fine with the stuffiness in our room. The common area was super nice. There's no "kitchen" per se, but it had just about everything you'd want in a kitchen (except a freezer.) Good access to Mendenhall, and not a long drive to downtown.
