Great location and host

The Hideaway is well stocked with all you need for cooking and general needs. Ela was a great host and we had a great stay here. Auke Bay is really low key and we loved the area too. Close to Mendwnhall glacier and “out the road” towards St Therese was fun.

Fine Days in Otter's Hideaway

Otter’s Hideaway is the place to stay!

The Otter’s Hideaway was such a beautiful place to stay and our property manager, Ela, and her dog Mel were the best! The place was very clean, homey, and offered amazing views of the bay all day. Whether you’re looking for a nice retreat or just a place to stay on a part of your trip, you can’t get any better than the Otter’s Hideaway! 10/10 would definitely stay again and I’m looking forward to staying there again in the near future.

Weekend Getaway

Otter’s Hideaway is a phenomenal property inside and out. Ela has provided everything a guest could ever want and or need. The furnishings are comfortable and thoughtful. There are several places to sit and enjoy the view. The sheets and towels are high quality and very soft. I will be coming back again!

Living Like Locals...

We had a tremendous stay in this perfect location! Far enough away from the Cruise Ship driven activities downtown to get the feel of the local community, but close enough to easily be in the city when we wanted to be there. Super convent from the airport and all services are close by. The unit was well appointed with everything we needed. The views were stunning from the house! Ela, the host, was spot on from our very first communication at booking to the end of our visit. We could not have been more pleased. Highly recommended!!

Everything was Amazing

Amazing view, everything you could possibly need is provided, well stocked home with cleaning supplies, cooking accessories, towels, blankets etc. The home is very clean, host is friendly and provides lots of great suggestions in the area. Hiking trail right down the road, not far from downtown but far enough to feel relaxed and out of the city. Best home I’ve stayed in, can’t recommend it enough.

Great experience

My wife and I were staying in Juneau to enjoy the sites and do some hiking, photography and excursions. Otters Hideaway was the perfect place to stay. The host was awesome, great communication and tips for the area. The place was clean and cozy, plenty of amenities. the back deck with the view of the bay is everything the pictures make you think it is. Our next trip to Juneau will probably revolve around whether this place is available agian!

Cozy hideaway

Otter’s Hideaway is a gem tucked away on the water with a view from a spacious deck. When the tide is out you can walk the beach to an island . The location is centrally located for any activity. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed for grilling at home. The hostess has created a charming and very comfortable paradise . I can’t wait to return.

Great property

We stayed for a week in July. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate very well for us, but we were able to enjoy some evenings at the fire pit watching the fantastic view. Very quiet and private. Owner lives upstairs with her dog, but there was minimal if any sound that we could hear coming from above. Small but reasonably well stocked kitchen. Bed was comfortable. Property has blackout shades in the bedroom. Lots of nearby hiking. Host was responsive and friendly.

About the host

Hosted by Ela Wehrmann

Host profile image
I was living in California when I took a summer break to be in Alaska. I spent the summer in Gustavus which is a ferry ride or short flight from Juneau. I fell in love with the vast majestic beauty of Alaska and decided to stay. I choose Juneau because it offered more emenities and yet all this wilderness to explore. I absolutely love it here. It is a magical place.

Why they chose this property

The view is spectacular. I love living near the water.
