  • This place sets the standard for all other vacation rentals. Immaculately kept, stocked for the guests, including toys shared by Mickey for our Tyler and Matthew. Every little detail is thought of and prepared for the guests - down to the kindling and firewood chopped for the firepit. Perfect for entertaing, enjoying solitude or keeping a family inbetween homes. Take all that and set it in a beautiful setting with eagles, whales and stunning vistas and this place cannot be beat. The owners are extremely responsive and nice and it was a heavenly reprieve for 10 days. Thank you Ray, Kathy and Mickey for a wonderful stay!

  • I have had the chance to stay at Hidden Cove twice now. It has the most beautiful views! One morning I even woke up to a small pod of whales swimming by in the channel. The residence is spotless and has everything you need for the perfect relaxing vacation. The owners were extremely accomodating and had everything ready for us when we arrived. I can not wait to go back. I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else!!

  • We have used VRBO for rentals around the globe and the attention to detail here was unsurpassed. If you are traveling to Ketchikan and don't stay here you have missed a golden opportunity to enhance your vacation. We enjoyed a truly memorable visit made even better by the record setting weather with temps in the 80's and salmon fishing in flip flops and shorts (our guide said it was the second time in 30 years he'd worn shorts on the boat). We even caught fish!

  • We stayed at Hidden Cove in June of 2008. The home exceeded our expectations. Besides a wonderful location it feels brand new. We played with our children for hours on the shore, marvelling at the incredible tide change. There is plenty to do as well. Besides the town of Ketchikan there are museums, zip-line rides, fishing and hiking and pontoon planes to visit the fjords. There is a lot to do here and Hidden Cove makes a wonderful base. If we ever get lucky enough to return we will stay here again. The Lipinski's are wonderful as well as offering great advice to maximize your trip.

  • Alaska's Hidden Cove is the nicest Vacation Rental we have ever stayed in. This vacation rental has a custom built huge kitchen which flows right into the dining and living room areas and overlooks the channel where you can see all sorts of commercial and pleasure boats passing by. What is also amazing about this place is that it really is hidden. You have your own cove which you can access by kayak or small boat. The wildlife is also incredible. We saw eagles, seals, and a pod of orcas. A truly magnificent place to stay at while visiting Alaska! We recommended this place to friends who also stayed and had a great and memorable time.

  • Hidden Cove is a fabulous oceanfront getaway.  My husband and I have been coming here from Florida for five years and never get enough of the beautiful sunsets; abundant eagles and wildlife; and private, tranquil scenery.  Viewing the purple and orange starfish clinging to the rocks on "our" beach at low tide is also an unforgettable experience.  This roomy, clean, well-decorated home has every amenity (and then some!).  A final plus is dealing with Ray and Kathy (and adorable little son, Mickey), who are warm, friendly, and very conscientious.  Just writing this note makes me yearn to return.  Soon, I hope!

  • I have had the pleasure of staying at Hidden Cove on at least 4 occasions. Each time has just been great. Some visits were work related, and I shared the house with several of my co-workers, and others were for total pleasure - fishing in September. I have stayed there in almost every season, and there is not a bad season to stay at Hidden Cove. Ray and Kathy have made this home so welcoming to all who visit. And every time I come back, they have done something new to make the home more comfortable for their guests. You can now bar-B-Q out on the covered deck - whether it is sun shining or raining. How great is that? And they have added Wi-Fi for those of us who just can’t quite “get away from it all”. They have provided every little touch to make this vacation rental a comfortable place to stay. The last time we stayed in the fall, my husband caught a silver salmon right off the beach area in front of the house. The house is right on the water, and watching the sunset, or ferries and other boats or float planes pass by is really fun. Sometimes even whales come by to say “hi”. And the eagles landing in the snag out front is also a wonderful sight. I highly suggest anyone deciding to stay at Hidden Cove and I know you will be writing to say you had a wonderful time.

  • My stay at AK's Hidden Cove was one of the most relaxing & enjoyable times I've ever had away from my home. The location is awesome & is truly a hidden cove with Humpback Whales frolicking, Sealions fishing, SEA Otters eating & Bald Eagles soaring right in front of your eyes. This "vacation rental" is a fine all inclusive home on a secluded private beach with wilderness all around you & civalization at the other end of its driveway. I could have easily lived here for months if not years. The owners / operators are some of the finest folks I've ever met on my travels around the globe & I'm certain everyone else that stays there will think so too. Enjoy, because Alaska & its Hidden Cove are truely fantastic!
