Response from VrboOwner on 25 Oct 2023
Hi Scott, We’re sorry to hear your stay was just ok. We do enforce our rules and policies firmly especially when it comes to smoking in and right outside the door with the door open of a rental. The owner asked politely a few times to step away from the rental when smoking, it really shouldn’t have taken multiple requests only for you ignore them and continue to smoke next to the rental. We wish you all the best in future travel.

Very small but serviceable for one.

Quarters are pretty tiny. Bathroom doesn't have room for a sink. But one has everything that one needs except an ice cube tray. I substituted muffin cups. Everything in working order and neat and clean. Very close to downtown Sitka. I am uncertain I would try to squeeze two people. The single bed looks that there is a trundle underneath but I did not try to see how that works.

Wonderful Cottage!!

My husband and I stayed for 10 days and would have stayed longer if they had not been booked. When we needed some spices, Tess the owner, gave us some to use and was very gracious! Great location! Perfect for walking to downtown!

Cottages are convenient to town

The cottage was perfect for my work stay. Tess was very accommodating to my late arrival. Cottages are small, but cozy, and are equipped with everything you need. Everything is within walking distance from the cottages. This has become my new base when I am in Sitka for work. Thank you Tess, Bryan
