Suite Rock near glacier and Auke Bay harbor -DISCOUNTS ON TOURS!

Luxury granite and other stone finishes throughout this spacious one-bedroom place, make it a sweet Oasis. Suite Rock is on the second level of the property.

A piece of art ready to be showcased to Alaska visitors! Owner, Johney Engle uses his artistic talent to create amazing kitchens for homeowners. He opened, what is still, the only stone fabrication shop from Surrey British Columbia to Anchorage Alaska, in 1985. He built his home and shop here with pride, branding it with custom rock and other 3-dimensional art pieces throughout. Your private MIL apartment is no exception and host Johney will help you have a local f1Alaska experience! If you like the outdoors, you'll love the trails and fishing spots within walking distance. There are many fun, excursions a mile away at Statter Harbor at Auke Bay, including kayaking and whale watching. Johney has provided a host of visitor experience materials for you to peruse and is there to point you in the right direction for the experiences you're looking for. You'll have full use of your own private one-bedroom apartment with king sized bed and private exterior entrance. Your private space has a 3/4 bathroom with floor-to-ceiling stone finishes and a washer and dryer for your convenience. The space has a living room with a comfortable sofa, granite coffee table, and extra seating. The full kitchen features an oven/stove, large refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and coffee pot, along with other useful cooing tools such as a crock pot and toaster oven. There is plenty of off-street parking. This apartment is on the second floor, so you'll have to climb one set of steps to get to the entry door. Once inside, it's all on one level. The shop is situated directly below Suite Rock with operations from 8 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday.

Suite Rock borders the Tongass National Forest and is near Auke Lake, Auke Bay, and the famous Mendenhall Glacier. It's the perfect base for an adventurous Juneau visit with lots of local flare. You can rent fishing poles and bicycles on-site for use within proximity to Suite Rock. A luxury bathroom with a washer and dryer is designed for the most efficient use of space. The sleek, bright bedroom features a queen bed, large mirrors, and granite Accents. The custom granite kitchen featuring bar-height seating is open to the living area.

An artist had a dream and he's inviting you to enjoy it. This is an experience, not just a place to stay. You'll be thrilled and inspired. Shangri-La stories will be told as you recant your Alaska vacation memories into the future. Johney is passionate and fun. His work is unique. It's edgy, and it's hard-core. Much of his art is three-dimensional, assemblage style. Johney figured out that he could make kitchens into art, so he studied rock shops around the country, created his tools, and opened his stone fabrication shop in the garage of his home in 1999. Johney's eye for the perfect rock and design to match his customer's personality landed him on the cover of Southeast Living Magazine. He's a classic entrepreneur, turning one sale into another tool, and eventually, he built his shop in the back and expanded the home around it until a masterpiece was created, and ready to share with you. Self-portraiture by the late Skylar Engle is displayed throughout the property. These two Engle's have produced brilliant art, with outstandingly contrasting styles to interest you.

It's self check-in so late arrival is not a problem. You'll be given the lock box code a few days prior to your arrival.

Check-in is at 4 pm and check-out is at 11 am. We will offer you early check-in and late check-out options if it's available, a couple of days before your arrival/departure for a fee of $50.

Host Johney lives and works on the property, so it would be unlikely to not run into him at some point. You can check yourself in via a lock box at your private entrance, but Johney is available if you need him as well. He'll leave you alone, or interact, at whatever level you desire. Kelli is close by and easy to get ahold of by phone or messaging.

Pets are welcome, upon approval. Please inquire about monthly pet fees for long-term stays. If you feel that the extra animal fee is too expensive rendering a low value, please don't book this place. We want to offer pet-friendly places and we want your business, but we want you to be happy. We strive to keep the properties clean and maintained for all guests, which this fee helps pay for. You'll be asked to rate the value of your experience, and If this fee creates a diminished value perception, then we hope you find another fabulous place for your party.

The property manager, Kelli, is an part owner of a large tour company and extends a 15% discount on all excursions offered by Alaska Travel Adventures to her guests. Inquire upon booking if you are interested. Tours operate May through September, in Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, and Sitka. Popular tours offered in Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, and Sitka include whale watching, salmon bakes, river rafting, kayaking, canoe tours, boat tours, hiking, gold panning, private cars, Mendenhall Glacier tours, jeep tours, Alaska RV and Cruise tour packages, and more. If you are interested in this discount, ask Kelli for the details.

We will strive to provide the best customer service and improve as we go with feedback from our guests. We hope to earn your five-star review. Your expectations should be limited to what is promised here, and reviews should reflect how we did with these promises. Before submitting your review, please remember to base it on the following criteria and what was promised to be provided for the price paid as follows:

Easy check-in process – You'll be able to self-check in. Kelli will give you check-in details prior to arrival, including a lockbox code. You'll be able to access the rental at your leisure after check-in time, at 4 pm. We offer early check-in options if it's available a couple of days prior to your arrival for $50.

Great Communication – Kelli is known to be responsive to guests before, during, and after their stay. You can expect prompt responses to your questions. Please text for the fastest response. You can also, call her. She'll respond to website messages as soon as she can.

Clean Accommodations – Your private apartment should be sparkling clean.

Great Auke Bay/Back Loop Location – It's steps from the city bus stop and three miles from the famous Mendenhall Glacier. You can take the bus, which stops one mile away from the glacier. You can also rent a bike, available at the property, and get to the glacier and Auke Bay on trails, bike paths, and short sections of road with shoulder/bike lanes. This is not a downtown Juneau property. Downtown Juneau is substantially more expensive than the Mendenhall Valley, so this location for the price should not be compared to that of downtown. If you want to be downtown and don't want to take a 45-minute bus ride to go 16 miles, then this space is not for you.

Accurate Description of the Space - I try to make continuous improvements when guests make suggestions and do my best to keep the changes updated and published. If I missed something please let me know, so I can update the information. If you are missing something you were counting on, please let me know immediately, so I can try to provide it for your stay.

Great Value – Juneau is expensive, especially during peak season, and while this is a more affordable option, we understand that it can seem expensive. Part of the value is the ability to rent for only one night and have an additional person. The price fluctuates depending on the season. We have to charge more when the business is there so that we can afford to have it vacant for long, slow periods.

Great Stay
We were looking for a place for week stay near Juneau but out on the edge. This was great find. Suite Rock is up a flight of stairs but you can pull car up to load/unload. Quiet and felt like we were truly in the woods. Big suite with ample room in all areas. Nice kitchen for cooking and plenty of room to relax at night after long days. Close to many great things to do and Auke Bay. We had a couple of concerns that we contacted Kelli. She promised to get plan for change and called me with it next day. She has always been responsive quickly on questions and reservations for you. We hope to go back and would recommend to all.

Fabulous property!
Kelli and Suite Rock were both EXCELLENT!!! We wanted to stay somewhere where we could be immersed in Juneau - and, preferring to avoid the cruise crowds of downtown, opted for this property - VERY SMART CHOICE!!! Clean, quiet, plenty of room for us. Very close to Auke Bay. Stellar's Jays visiting us in the mornings. We made use of a rental car to go everywhere we wanted to. Kelli made the entire process seamless and provided us with valuable counsel on things we should do, especially in avoiding the cruise crowds. It was, simply put, a fabulous stay in Juneau, in large part because of Suite Rock, Kelli, and our experience with her!!! A once-in-a-lifetime trip for us!!! If we EVER go back, we'll stay there again!!!

Oh nice !!!! 🏔️ 5 star ⭐️
What a beautiful stay !!!! The lush greenery on the property was beautiful to look at through the window. Close to town, but far enough that we were away from the cruise ship hustle and bustle. Parking on the property was easy. Normal residential noise, nothing that was bothersome. Contactless check in was easy. Directions were wonderful. Truely a nice stay. Hope to be back soon. Thanks for everything. Appreciate it.
