I was grateful that Alix was a guest who appreciated the "historic" and only theme-based cottage in Juneau. The property was left in good condition, requiring minimal cleanup. A host's dream.

Cute, comfortable and convenient rental. Every need was thought out, everything labeled and handy. I appreciate the fresh coffee and detergent for clothing.

Hosting was smooth from start to finish. They settled in without any issues, respected the space, and left the home in a condition that made turnover easy. Provided valuable feedback.

This was the best vacation rental we have stayed at. The house is older, but is updated and clean. The placeis packed with old alaska posters and antiques. The shower is awesome, the beds slightly firm and new and the neighborhood dead quiet at night. We had an issue with the heater and the host had technicians out immediately and it was solved. Lots of little touches to that shows the owner really cares, such as plentiful charging stations and nicely equiped kitchen. If we come back to juneau this will be the place we stay.

My family selected The Alaska Cottage for our 2026 Memorial Day weekend in Juneau Alaska. Host LaVern who owns and operates the house rental is a local resident who was easy and pleasant to communicate with, very welcoming, and available if we had any questions. Once we arrived, LaVern sent a message to see that we made it safely, were able to get into the rental and that all was well. Located in a valley neighborhood, the 2 bedroom house was easy to find, near grocery stores & attractions, was freshly painted & clean, a cozy living space with many amenities and abundant history & artifacts of the area, a full sized frig and a kitchen with the best coffee set up ever, comfortable beds & restful sleep, luggage racks in the bedrooms plus plenty of closet storage & hangars, lots of windows providing abundant light and views of big spruce trees in the yard. Our stay was so comfortable and wonderful. The Alaska Cottage had everything we needed, plus more! It is immediately evident that host LaVern has put a lot of thought & attention to detail in his rental property. This rental was affordable and roomy for two adults and two younger children. When we travel back to Juneau, we hope The Alaska Cottage will be available, and we look forward to interacting with LaVern too!
