We had one of the best experiences of our lives as guests! You'll be thrilled to know that this house has everything you need for your stay, including plenty of great amenities for preparing your own meals. Wanda has been nothing short of amazing—so gentle and attentive to every detail! The harbour view is stunning, and we spotted a blue wale just below our site — what an incredible sight!We are glad we chose this property!

Thank you! It was a pleasure to have you stay with us. The video of the whale was absolutely amazing. I hear they come into our cove often, but this is the first time I saw one, even if it was a video. I hope our town and your lodging will draw you back for another visit.

Knudson Bay View Apartment

This property was a gem of a find. The owners, Wanda and Darrell, had everything we needed and more. The apartment felt like we were visiting and staying with family. Wanda was easy to communicate with and she came by to get us settled in. The apartment is upstairs, has a well stocked, clean kitchen, cozy living room furniture, and very comfortable beds with nice sheets and pillows. The view of the bay was prefect and you could see eagles and seals from your windows. It’s on the northern side of Ketchikan in a quiet location. The marina has a restaurant and general store where you can get a great cup of coffee for 25 cents!! We appreciate Wanda making us feel at home.

I'm glad you enjoyed our cove. We enjoy sharing our beautiful state with guests and especially the area where we live. I look forward to raising the blinds every morning to see what the day will be like and what is happening at the marina and on the water.

Wanda's place is wonderful.

This place is great for a fishing getaway in Ketchikan. The view is so pretty from the apartment, we can just sit there and watch through the windows for hours. It's very close to Knudson Cove marina, also Clover pass resort is just 15 minutes walk away. If you like fishing, this is the best location.

About the host

Hosted by Wanda Vandergriff

Host profile image
We moved to Alaska in 1975. It was a big change from the 118 degree weather in El Centro, California, and a BIG move from family and friends, but we have not regretted our decision. Now over 40 years later, we still enjoy the beauty that we have been blessed with in Southeast Alaska.

Why they chose this property

I'm sure you will feel "almost home" at this property. It offers great views of the water and you will have eagles landing in the trees on the property. Just minutes to Knudson Cove Marina where you can rent a boat or take a charter to fish for five species of salmon and many bottom fish, halibut, ling cod, red snapper to name a few.

What makes this property unique

With just about everything you could possibly need, you will find this apartment both comfortable and well stocked.
