Great stay
The place was perfect for 2 people. We spent a lot of time in the afternoons out on the deck watching people from the cruise ships. Location was great. Easy walk to downtown. A bit more challenging coming back, but you can get a cab to bring you back up the hill. Would definitely stay here again.

Super charming!
As long as you can get your luggage up and down a series of outdoor slip-resistant steps, you will love this rental! The quality of the amenities and decor along with the view and convenient location are all great! It is super nice to be able to walk to so many places from this location. The host is super nice!

Great weekend stay in Viewtopia
We loved our Memorial Day weekend stay in Viewtopia! Clean, comfortable, well appointed, and if you love sitting on the deck watching cruise ships, this is the place for you. Close enough to downtown that we left our car parked and walked to dinner, shopping, etc. Drove to Settler's Cove for hiking, and to Herring Cove to look for bears (a little bit too early yet). We really enjoy Ketchikan and will definitely stay in Viewtopia again.

Nice Slice of Alaska
This was a stopover on our trip. Many times you book something on the Internet, and when you get there it is nothing like what you booked. This place was better than the booking! Fantastic view, is close to everything, and is very clean. Thank you Vrbo!

Short stay
Thank you Mindy. Your rental over all was nice with a great view. However, thiis s a place for couples who sleep together. We probably needed a two bedroom. I was expecting a pull out couch in the living room not a futon. If your a couple and in good health I would definitely recomend this unit but not if you cant walk hills and stairs. Cheers!

The apartment was exactly like the photos. Very comfy. Very close to the historic district. Easily walkable. The view out the huge picture window was spectacular-loved watching the hustle and bustle of the cruise ships in the morning and the sparkle of the evening.

Exceeded all expectations.
In Ketchikan for a week to meet our son at the finish line of the R2AK (Race to Alaska) ocean sailing race. Mindy and Andrew, and their children, are a delight, such kind and wonderful hosts. They live onsite. Mindy gladly offered and shared with us anything we might be missing. The apartment we had (one of two they rent) was two floors beneath their own home, all on a steep hill, so each unit has spectacular views. Many steps down, many steps back up, so 'ify' only if stairs are a problem. Scrupulously clean, well-equipped, great bed, amazing view, great internet for working remotely. Our son was able to stay on the excellent pull-out in the living room, which could have accommodated two 'cozily'. Super-close to downtown - 6 houses' walk, then down a city-owned stairway, where the downtown shuttle and longer-range city buses stop. Alternatively, only a short cab ride from almost everything. A real find. My only hesitation...it may well become hard to book because it's such a stellar spot, and Mindy + family are such stellar hosts. Andrew and Barbara Roberts

Short stay before fishing trip.
This apartment was perfect for the 3 of us. Owner was very attentive and property was very clean. Location is wonderful. And the view from the deck is amazing. Would for sure stay again.
