Reviewer Comments:
We were in Sitka for fishing. We had 4 guys and rented all 4 cottages. Everyone liked having their own unit. We have stayed there several times and have always found them to be clean, in a great location, with excellent on-site management. We highly recommend this property.
Close to everything. Exactly as advertised. Tess our host was kind and generous and helpful. We would highly recommend as it had everything we needed.

Reviewer Comments:
My family is from Sitka and I grew up in Sitka until age 13. All 4 grandparents are buried in the old Sitka Cemetery so our roots are strong. My mother’s health is poor and she requires oxygen. My mom made a desperate plea for me to bring her to Sitka early May. Normally we schedule airfare and rental in January for a July stay. I got online and did a search of all options and it was extremely limited which I expected. I found this delightful cottage which turned out to be a gem. I had some concern due to size as we had to accommodate an oxygen concentrator which is a bit of a beast. We could arrange the extra trundle bed to fit our needs. Ran into the owner and she is a delight and very accommodating. I have a lot of family who visit and these cottages will come highly recommended. So close to town. Good parking. So well maintained and clean. Thank you with high regards. Debbie Kelly
Small but tidy. Perfect for my daughter and me. Great location for walking everywhere. Would definitely stay again!

Great location to walk most places from! The manager was nearby and very responsive to our questions. The space met our needs, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen had the tools for simple meals.The only negative was that there was no bathroom sink, and the kitchen sink had to be used for everything.
The place was clean and just the right size for my husband and I for our week's stay in Sitka. We were close to everything and enjoyed walking to restaurants, the bay, and relatives in the area. Tess responded quickly to any of our questions.
