Plenty of Room and Lots to Explore

The house has wonderful views and made a great home base for our multi-generational family trip to Juneau for a week. There is plenty of room for everyone to have their own space while the large dining room table, outdoor fire pit and living room overlooking the river encourage gathering together. A wonderful place to explore and connect with family and friends.

Great family reunion!

We had a wonderful time in Juneau - we booked this house for a family reunion for my wife and sister-in-law who grew up in Juneau. The location was perfect for our our activities - close to Auke Bay and the Mendenhall Glacier. The views from the deck were stunning. It was everything we wanted for our vacation. The owners were quick in responding with any questions. We all wish we were still there!

Perfect for our family with small kids! The views and access to the river are amazing. It’s very centrally located as well. The children loved the rafters each day and the well stocked books, games, and play space. The house was well stocked and had ample space for storage of food and luggage. Host was very responsive and took great care with the amenities. Coffee pot and an additional Keurig were perfect for our family breakfasts of decaf and full-caf drinkers. This is our 3rd trip to Juneau and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else!

Our family stayed at the River House for 5 wonderful days! I can’t say enough about how perfect this house was for our stay. The location, the scenery of the mountains and the river, the house had everything we were looking for and great owners who were friendly and helpful. We even got to see much wildlife coming through the gorgeous yard. We would definitely recommend this house to anyone and wouldn’t stay anywhere else on our next visit to Juneau.
