This property is amazing … can’t wait to come back! Very clean and amazing ….A view from every room! We have been coming to Sitka for many years and have never stayed there .. had to book a year in advance … worth the wait. Peggy the cleaning lady was articulate… wonderful experience!
Well appointed, truly amazing architecture, design, and extra touches. Stunning surroundings with Eagle's nests about. A perfect venue for our scholarly retreat. Thank You to the Stone Lantern House!

This property is amazing. The location is perfect. Our host Cindy spent time to tell us about the property and about the town of Sitka as well. She had great recommendations for restaurants, galleries and historical sites. Her property is an architects dream! I would highly recommend this property to family and friends.
This house was absolutely beautiful! There are great views from every window in the entire house. We enjoyed s'mores at the fire-pit outside, it sits right on the water’s edge. Our daughter took some of her wedding pics on the property and they are gorgeous! Lots of eagles in the area. It was super clean too! We would definitely stay here again!

The Stone L stern House was just magical, perfectly kept and everything you need. The most important are the views and the ability to open your windows, that are everywhere! Eagles living in our trees and Ravens galore. Form our picture window we saw Orcas in Sitka Sound. And, we cooked hot dogs by the fire - by the ocean by the woods!! Hot dogs sticks provided.The ladies that run everything were so nice and responsive before & during our entire stay! We will be back to Sitka if only for the view and house!

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.

From the moment we were welcomed into your home, it felt like we were home. Cyndy welcomed us and showed us everything we needed to see and know about the house. Instructions were explained so we could enjoy out short visit. The house was most comfortable and the hosts very helpful in ensuring our stay was an experience to be remembered for a lifetime. The location is stunning. The views of Sitka Sound surrounded us. We could not have asked for more. We are just sorry we missed the Northern Lights - they were seen the night before we arrived and the night we left. Just another reason to return in the future.

We stayed here with 3 generations of our family. The elderly grandparents loved that they could watch their grandchildren playing on the beach and exploring from the comfort of the balcony. They also loved seeing the eagles soaring around the house every day! The kitchen was fully stocked with spices and tools/utensils.

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.

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.

We rented the house for a family reunion in Sitka. The property exceeded our expectations. It is beautifully constructed, well stock with all your needs plus many extras. The setting and views are amazing and even through you are attached to the Sitka road system, you feel you are on an island. It was everything we hoped for and made our trip. Thanks.
