About this property

Directly Above the Salmon Ladder-Unmatched Views & Convenience

Perched above historic Married Man’s Trail and directly overlooking the iconic Salmon Ladder waterfall, this cottage is literally one-of-a kind ( no other property has this venue) and offers one of the most unique and scenic stays in all of Ketchikan. Watch eagles soar and salmon leap in the stream directly below, all from your front porch. With downtown and Creek Street just steps away, you’ll have easy access to shops, restaurants, and many of Ketchikan’s most-loved attractions. *Please note there are 65 stairs to access the property*

Your host lives upstairs, and you may occasionally see her friendly pug and Frenchie in passing. Your added bonus is that your hostess is an encyclopedia of knowledge about Ketchikan should you need any advice about ANYTHING at all.

This cozy and completely updated 3-bedroom cottage (new in 2025) offers over 1,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed comfort. Inside, you’ll find:

A amazingly-equipped kitchen—your host spent years hosting a cooking show, so expect all the essentials and maybe even a treat or two.

Friendly touches, including games, books, and a smart TV plus homemade blueberry jam.

A dedicated workspace and unlimited high-speed internet for remote work or planning your adventures.

Come experience the beauty, wildlife, and warm hospitality that make this cottage a true gem.
