Wedding Weekend Hub

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: We rented SLH during the shoulder season so we would have a place to host our family and friends during our wedding weekend, and we are so glad we did! The open floor plan makes the upper level a fantastic gathering space. Everyone was blown away by the beautiful architecture ans views, and it felt special to be able to spend time together in such a clean, luxurious home. We'd definitely recommend this stay to any Sitkans who are looking for a local getaway for their wedding, family reunion, etc. We thought parking might be an issue, but it worked really well to have folks park on the SMC end of the road ans enjoy the beautiful walk out to the house on Cannon Island Road.

Serenity in Sitka

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: Having made several excursions to Sitka over the years I am more than familiar with the availability of Homes throughout the community. None can hold a candle to this property, based on the view, property features, and soothing calm of the funishings. Whether sitting and enjoying the scenery from every room, or hosting as large dinner party this is the property for you. I go to Sitka to recharge, I came away refreshed and with great memories.

Best rental house in Sitka

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: Words and pictures do this house little justice. It is simply a perfect place to stay for me and my family. I love the architecture and how the house seems to simply grow from the rock. The morning and evening views of Mt Edgecumbe, when the clouds allow for them, are breathtaking. Its close enough to town for easy access to Fish Baranof, and other town attractions, but far enough away that you feel like you have your own island each night. It is definitely a place you wont forget.
