Picture perfect views at the Salty Sea

JenniferRating, 5 stars7 months ago

I can’t thank Amber enough for allowing my family to make such wonderful memories at this location. We are a family of 7 (6 adults and 1 child) and this space more than accommodated our needs. Our grandson (under 2 years of age) especially loved the entertainment of the Tongass Narrows which provided up close viewing of cruise ship traffic, boats and barges coming and going, plenty of birds to be seen, and airline traffic coming and going. The space felt like home from the time we entered the location. Having a full service kitchen allowed us to shop locally and cook and eat meals together as a family as well. As a runner, I left on foot multiple times throughout our stay and ran numerous miles in both directions. I felt completely safe at all times doing so. Amber was a great host. We communicated often and she was readily available to provide helpful tips to make our stay most comfortable. Amber- our grandson thanks you for supplying us with some toys and books as well.

The Captain Suite

AmeliaRating, 5 stars7 months ago

The place was beautiful. There was a little noise from the other unit next door but was easy to tune out. The place was cozy and peaceful. Nice to watch the rain through the big picture windows. Had dishes, cooking utensils and towels. Great to have a washer/dryer to use. Near two nice beaches that you could walk to. Great to have wifi capabilities. Had a nice two burner cooktop and small fridge. Definitely a place to keep on your list to stay.

Flashy Downtown Apt on Water-Shops/Dining/Walkable

TinaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

This is a true little gem centrally located within walking distance to the heart of Ketchikan. The view of the river is peaceful from the small deck. This is on the third floor with no elevator, so you must be able to navigate stairs, but the view is worth it! I would recommend and stay again, it was just perfect.

I highly recommend Michelle’s place if you’re looking for a nice, comfortable place to stay while you’re in Ketchikan. Michelle is such a wonderful host and makes you feel so welcome. She provides every amenity you might want while you’re staying there. My favorite part of the whole stay was getting to interact with her sweet dogs, Jack and Sophie. Michelle’s home is just a few minutes’ walking distance to all the great downtown Ketchikan restaurants, museum, civic center, Southeast Alaska Discovery Center, brewery, coffee shops, art galleries, entertainment, and much more.

Chic Downtown Stay on Water-Shops/Dining/Walkable

4.87 out of 5 average rating, 39 reviews6 days ago

Stayed several days and especially appreciated the central location and ease to wander around Creek Street and downtown. My dad lives close by and it was ideal from that perspective. It was easy to get in - just be aware that you need to climb some stairs to get to the suite I was in on the third floor. I slept well each night and the shower was hot and clean. I’d stay again.
