"Such a fabulous place. I had a little trouble when checking in. There were so many cruise ships in town, the cell service didn't work, and I couldn't access the check in information on my email. The host came outside and immediately gave me the code to open the front door. The apartment is beautifully furnished and supremely located in proximity to downtown. I can't wait to go back to Ketchikan and stay ar the Bear Den. Thanks so much!"

"Our experience on the Lady Faye was exceptional. It had recently been moved from a downtown location to a much more peaceful and serene spot called Refuge Cove which made the experience much better. Russell the owner met us upon arrival and gave us a quick briefing and took great care of us with some groceries, coffee, etc. I would highly recommend this for people who are looking for something different and a better way to experience the incredible things on offer in Ketchikan.. we went hiking, fishing, kayaking, bear watching, float plane, riding, and just plain enjoyed the spectacular views"
