The Douglas Guest House

The Douglas Guest House was perfect for our stay in Juneau! We were busy during the days and it was so nice to be able to come home and cook a nice dinner. The apartment was immaculate and had everything we needed and more. The fullsize refrigerator was a bonus - we had lots of salmon to freeze for our trip home. The washer and dryer were a big help with dirty, damp, clothes. Most of all, the studio is charming - we made the perfect choice and would definitely stay again on a future trip!

Very clean, attractive, and cozy! Excellent pizza nearby, too!

I loved driving up the little hilly roads to the property ... going home to my island retreat. What a lovely location - on a cul-de-sac bordering a wooded area to the south, and looking out across the Gastineau Channel to the east (from the stairs). It's in a nice quiet neighborhood, so quiet that in the early evening you can hear the ravens deep-throated calls in the forest. Wonderful!

I stayed in the studio and had everything I needed to make my vacation easy and relaxing. :-)

The property owner, Diana, couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. I had a great time, and wouldn't hesitate to stay at The Douglas Guest House again when I visit Juneau.

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay in this well-appointed rental. The beds were very comfortable, and we felt that we had plenty of room. We really liked being at the end of the road, near several hiking trails and away from the bustle of the cruise-ship part of town. We recommend visiting the State Museum in town, as well as the mining museum near the Perseverance Trail, and of course the glacier is a must-see. The owners are very friendly, and were quite apologetic for a communication breakdown with the housekeeper (we had to wait a few minutes after arriving to get into the apartment). Overall this is a very nice place, extremely economical and comfortable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Douglas Guest House. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, the view was indeed beautiful, and the forest right across the street was perfect for a hike! The nearly 20 hours of light made our days long and fruitful, but made it a little harder to sleep! We were blessed with beautiful weather during our stay. We enjoyed seeing the bald eagles, bears (black and brown), marmots, porcupine, glaciers, sea lions and seals, black tail deer, caught a king salmon, "going out the road", salmon hatchery, Mt. Roberts tram, and eating king crab! Juneau is indeed a treasure! A rental car is a must at this property but also to make your stay in Juneau worthwhile. Thanks to Jonathan and Diana Thornton for making such a nice place available! Edward from Texas
