About the host
Hosted by Adam Dordea
I first fell in LOVE with Juneau during a family vacation in my teen years. As Ashley tells the story I would often talk about moving to Alaska for our next great adventure. In 2013 I checked my work email and to my surprise, there was a new opportunity to relocate to Juneau!! I showed the email to Ashley and she said "Let's go". We sold everything and were on a plane a month later... and haven't regretted it for a moment.
We love everything about Juneau! The views, the community, the remoteness, the seafood.... and did I mention the VIEWS!?!?!
We are here to give you a local perspective on Juneau. We can make recommendations on everything from tour excursions, hiking trails (if you ask for this please include your level of fitness and how adventurous you are), hidden gems (don't like 20,000 tourists... hint neither do we. We can help you find the off the beaten path beaches and sights that you likely won't find on your own).

Why they chose this property
We were looking at a few unique properties around town in late April. Ashley loved a house near downtown, and as they say "Happy wife, Happy life". We had planned to put an offer on the downtown house that day.
We saw postings on Facebook that there was a humpback whale feeding in the harbor in Auke Bay. We rushed that way and spent the next 2 hours enjoying a beautiful blue sky day with a humpback whale we affectionately named "Herbert". I pointed out a house overlooking the harbor and told Ashley that they have sandwiches and sweet tea at the open house. So we stopped for lunch.
On this serendipitous day we stopped for lunch and a brief tour and I fell in love with the property. Ashley still had her heart set on the other home. We called our realtor and asked for a 3rd viewing of the downtown home. What we found was astonishing. We had just left Auke Bay and the temperature gauge on my car read 71 degrees. As we went up the hill to the other property we felt a chill and there was still snow on the ground. The gauge in my care read 39 degrees. We never went on that 3rd tour.
We made an offer on the Auke Bay home and have loved living in the driest and sunniest area of Juneau ever since. If you happen to see Herbert, make sure to tell him we said hello. If he is out there with a friend... his name is Sparky.
