Tess was very accommodating, everything was clean, and the location couldn't be better - very central, which was perfect since we didn't have a car. We would have loved a full-size bed option, but the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a cozy, affordable stay!

Cozy Get Away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was a good stay.The cottage was in a great location for walking around town and close to most attractions. The cottage was very clean and in good shape. It was just a very tiny space for my husband and I. The twin bed had a trundle so I slept on one and my husband the other. It was like we were doing a sleepover. We loved it but it was a lot smaller room than we thought. The TV had a Amazon Firestick so we could watch somethings but it seemed like the internet only allowed a few hours and it stopped working. Since we just used it for background noise we were fine.The vacation rental management staff was helpful and kind. She greeted us when we arrived and helped us get in the door.

Cozy, warm, good location

Good proximity to downtown Sitka. Very friendly owner, very clean. A little tight for two people, particularly sleeping accommodations with two single trundle beds, but we were comfortable. Nice and quiet.
