Awesome views and lodging
Great location overlooking the bay. Lots of beds, complete kitchen and laundry...everything you need. Plus the hot tub and sauna are a big plus. If you have a full house, bathrooms might be a little tight...esp if you have lots of females in your group.
Loved the location of this home! It’s away from town , very quiet, Surrounded by forest & mountains. On the water & fabulous eagle watching !!! The house itself is comfortable , could use a few upgrades etc….. but overall very nice !!!
Beautiful setting and property. Clean, cozy and comfy. 4 adults had separate rooms. 2 bathrooms, one tub (upstairs bathroom has large tub). Owner and property mgrs very attern
Thank youq

The views will take your breath away. Best view in Sitka and convenient location that is private. Enjoyed watching boats from hot tub and the sauna was great. Eagles fly through the yard multiple times a day. Can’t wait to come back
This home is all about the location. The views are amazing, close to the trail and there is an EAGLE nesting on the property. Not sure it gets any cooler than that. Moring coffee and evening cocktails had a phenomenal view. Read prior reviews and think people are to harsh. Yes, the decor is older and worn but you are in Alaska and will not beat this location. Property Manager was very helpful. Quick to respond. I will say if you have 10 people the sleeping arraignments are not available. Roll out was provided but no where to really put it. Also, keep an open mind about the upstairs bathroom. Lacks privacy but has an amazing view! Thank you for sharing your home, we loved our stay.

Our family of four stayed five nights in this lovely secluded home with stunning views. It was a perfect place in Sitka to put down roots and do daily activities. The location is very private and beautiful, with views of fishing boats coming and going and a resident eagle's nest on site. Easy access to path to the rocky shore across the street. Hot tub was especially well positioned and lovely. Plenty of space for everyone. Kitchen well stocked and easy to use. There are a few things that could be different: no/very little shampoo and bath soap, which is surprising for a property of this quality, outdoor pebble cement patio is very painful on bare feet and needs an outdoor rug or mat to make it usable, and easy to get to hot tub, as house is "shoes off", very old grill needs replacement, as we were excited to grill our freshly caught fish and found it poor condition. Otherwise perfect!

Reviewer Comments:
Let me just say that this rental is in one of the most beautiful places I have ever traveled. The location and views from the house are unapparelled. We spent a ton of time on the deck and just taking in the magnificent vista. The house and furnishings were adequate. There are some updates that could be done to make it a truly perfect experience. Windows could use some functional help. The refrigerator is super loud and needs to be replaced as it is clearly 20 years old. Some of the interior trim needs to be affixed, new furnature, grill is poorly maintained, etc. However, the house was clean, nicely decorated and the hot tub is a perfect way to end or begin a day here. The eagles nest was a source of constant entertainment. Would definitely recommend this house for anyone visiting Sitka.

First off the owner was extremely kind to allow my friends and I to book when we did, accommodating our needs. The home is very comfortable, tons of space, really utilized the upstairs for more sleeping arrangements. The hot tub was super clean and easy to use. The view was the best! The windows frame up bear mountain beautifully and I couldn’t have asked for a better night stay.

The property is located in an incredible location with stunning view over the Silver Bay. The view itself sells Alaska. The property is clean and with lots of Alaska touches, incredible authentic decor and Alaska is felt in every piece of the furniture and layout. Would recommend, BUT some things need to be fixed\changed:new towels (some of the towels were old and they have seen better days)handles knobs in bathrooms are loose and the person can not lock it when using it. Also want to mention that the response from the manager and owner was right there and got all the support and requests answered and managed exceptionally well and professional. would recommend and would book that property again!

Absolutely beautiful view and surroundings! The owner is very responsive. Views from every part of the property inside and out. We hope to make an annual trip at the Golden Alaskan Lodge. Thank you!
Great place to stay in Sitka. We couldn't help but admire all of the decor in the lodge and it added to our Alaskan experience. Hot tub overlooking the boats salmon fishing in the bay was a nice added touch. Only a shot drive from town and amenities. If you value peace and quiet and want to stay in a place that feels Alaskan this would be the spot.
The Golden Alaska Lodge was such a treat. We loved staying away from town, the views of Silver Bay are amazing. It is such a peaceful home. The house is very clean, very well equipped for anything you may need. It was very comfortable. We enjoyed the spa and sauna after long days of fishing. Brian and Christine were great to work with. I definitely recommend booking this house if you are visiting Sitka!
Magical time spent at Golden Alaskan Lodge. Hosts for the cabin very attentive. Memories for 4 generations have been made and taken home with us. The views of Silver Bay are amazing. Humpback whales seen while drinking our coffee. Great hiking paths close by. My favorite was watching and listening to the eagles in their natural habitat.
Our family of 9 stayed here for a week! The house is fabulous—we didn’t want to leave. We utilized the hot tub, sauna, fire pit and grill. We invited friends from town over for fresh Halibut and Salmon we caught. They told us they had all been to the house for a wedding or some function. It’s definitely a Sitka landmark. (We saw a bear and multiple bald eagles through the binoculars! ) Highly recommend this house!
Had the most wonderful week at this house!! It had everything needed and the house had the most wonderful views. We had the luck of meeting the owner and he was very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great week in Sitka.
