This place is amazing. My daughter loved the moose hunt and actually spent our four days finding them. Homey, cozy and met all our needs.

Beautiful home in a perfect location! The home exceeded our expectations, and my wife continually commented about how she “loved the place”. Our son works on the glacier each summer and we come up to Juneau frequently. This is now our main choice of places to stay moving forward.

My husband and I enjoyed staying in this lovely cabin for a week long fishing trip in Juneau. There’s plentiful wildlife and scenery off the back patio, the home was in perfect condition, one of the newest, cleanest VRBO’s we’ve stayed in, and very well stocked. If we return, we will stay here again! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
