I've been staying here for several years - it's amazing!
Kelli and her staff are amazing! The Lucky Duck has a super comfortable bed, fridge, TV, a cute dresser, an enormous closet (with hangers!), a beautiful shower (with soap/shampoo/conditioner!), and a washer/dryer. One wall is a huge window so you can see the lovely trees just outside the house. The communal kitchen is equipped with dishes/coffeepot/pans/pots/hotplates/griddle/fridge/freezer/eccentric decor/dartboard/cards/etc. The upstairs communal living area has a comfy sectional couch situated with additional eccentric decor such as cool granite guitars. The house also has a hot tub that is relaxing after a long day hiking/fishing/etc. It's truly the best place in town!
This is one of the best places we’ve stayed. Very well designed, all modern appliances / facilities and large common space. It was very cozy and space efficient, yet had a full size washer / dryer in unit! We would definitely stay here again.
The room was super cute and comfortable, the shared kitchen area was convenient and welcoming, and the location was beautiful! The instructions and communications were clear and helpful. I would totally stay again!
This room worked great for my stay. I had the place basically to myself, because the other rooms were not booked. It was nice having a dryer in the room to dry wet clothes after a day in the rain.

Beautiful and relaxing
I was amazed by the beauty and comfort provided. It is just what I needed! Thank you.
The stay was great but i do wish you guys would supply more than 3/4 a roll of toilet paper and one garbage sack. When someone books the place for a full month. That's the only area i felt was lacking. Otherwise it was a great place to stay and I'd do it again.

Perfect Stay for Hiking, University Visits, and Walking to Coffee, Brewery, More!
Kelli's place is always a blessing for me and I've been staying here for a few years as my daughter attends the nearby college. It's walkable to hiking, coffee, beer, and meals! I've stayed in Lucky Duck as well as Baked Alaskan and both are wonderful! Super cozy, comfy bed, warm, beautiful shower, fluffy towels, and access to the kitchen (fridge, freezer, coffee, cooking range, etc) is very handy! The overall community space has amazingly interesting decor - specific to the area and super interesting. You will be grateful if you are able to book a stay here! Happy Travels! : )
My 13-year-old granddaughter & myself ventured to Juneau to visit her aunt, my oldest daughter. Had a fabulous time! Lucky Duck & the house were mostly beyond my expectations: the decor was AMAZING!! Artwork, etc were unbelievable. We had easy access, in & out. Our own washer/dryer. Shared kitchen with one other room, but no one but us ever used it!

Mid at best
Empty. Nobody there, very strange check in process. The room was clean, but there was no trash can, no clear way to take out trash or instruction provided. No privacy curtain on the bathroom window was a bit strange and no shower curtain. Room smelled strange but was clean upon inspection. Not worth what I paid.

Did not meet our expectations
Stuffy, no screens, no air circulation. No chair of any kind (uncomfortable stool provided does not count). Computer desk not needed, and very hard to use. A small table would have been much better. Bed height made it almost impossible to use to sit on (and we are not short), and mattress moved from side to side. No towel racks at all. Narrow shower opening. A large person would not be able to shower. A lamp near the bed would have been nice.
Great location and perfect for what we were looking for in a short term rental while we were visiting. The hot tub was amazing!

The most beautiful air Bnb I have ever stayed at
Somehow I just submitted a review and the title came out as disgusting and it was the exact opposite. I did not type that in and have no idea how that happened
