Organic-mod mid-century A-frame gem in pristine coastal forest setting
10/10 Excellent
"A great and cozy little cabin in the woods, about 15-20 minutes from the airport, easy access. If you want a nice quiet peaceful place to stay, this is it. I didn’t bring kids but they would have loved it. Pick berries out the back porch, the cabin had everything we needed, close to some trails and such. I would love to come back and stay again, it was perfect for us 2, but could easily have had 4, and could bunk kids upstairs also. Host was available if needed, responding immediately to any inquiries, although we really didn’t need anything. It’s actually cuter in person than the pics represented, real neat place. Thank you!"

"This well loved property was perfect for our girls week. Kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable, appreciated the woodstove, and the host was very accommodating ... but mostly, the view from the cozy porch was 10 stars! We saw whales almost everyday."
"Our family had a wonderful week at this Lena Cove home. The location was perfect—just far enough from downtown Juneau to escape the crowds and catch extra sunshine. The main living area offers sweeping waterfront views; we watched eagles soar, salmon jump, otters playing, and spotted a black-tail deer. We tried fishing from the rocky shoreline, but the salmon ignored our lures (the rocky bottom loved them!). The lush grounds and the welcome bouquet of wildflowers on the porch were lovely touches.Inside, the home was exceptionally comfortable. The beds feature perfect linens, and our teenage son loved having his own space to spread out in the loft. The shower water stayed hot through four back-to-back users, and the tap water tasted as great as bottled.A few quick suggestions for the hosts to elevate the stay:Linens: The towels are great quality, but providing only five bath towels for four guests for a week required a lot of laundry. A few extra sets, along with more dishcloths/kitchen towels, would be helpful.Kitchen: Adding basic staples (tinfoil, plastic wrap, Ziplocs) would be great. Simple drawer organizers and a few bins in the pantry to organize leftover guest food would also make the space much more user-friendly.We would absolutely stay here again!"

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this VRBO in Gustavus! The home was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing visit. It was the perfect home base for exploring Glacier Bay and enjoying the peaceful beauty of the area.
The setting was quiet and beautiful, and we especially appreciated how well-equipped and welcoming the home felt. It truly made our trip even more memorable.
The host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire process seamless from beginning to end. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Gustavus. Thank you for helping make our Alaska trip so special!"
Bayside Hideaway, tucked in the forest! Clean, Cozy, Comfortable!
10/10 Excellent
"Our five-day stay in Alaska was absolutely amazing, and this Vrbo rental was the perfect place to call home during our trip. The space was super clean, modern, cozy, and incredibly comfortable — exactly what we needed. The full size bed was so comfortable, and every detail made the stay feel welcoming and relaxing.Even though there was no stove, the kitchenette was perfect for our needs since we planned on eating out. It included a mini refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee, and snacks, which truly came in handy after long days exploring. The hosts really thought of everything.The bathroom was beautiful, spotless, and modern, fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, and even a curling iron and flat iron, which was such a thoughtful touch.One of the best parts was the view of the bay right from the window — especially when the tide came in. They also generously provided access to a kayak (with a signed waiver), which made the experience even more special.To top it all off, we even got to witness a mother bear and her cub passing through in the wild — an unforgettable Alaska experience!Sonja and her husband were amazing hosts: kind, thoughtful, and attentive. We are so glad we chose this rental and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Alaska!Happy renter, Mrs. Rosalinda Barboza."
