Hidden Cove: a secluded Alaskan home, hot tub, beach access, family friendly

Our group enjoyed our stay here. It was quiet, but not too far away from town. Our stay was during the winter so the mud room was perfect for all our gear. It was clean and comfy. Just a heads up if you have a group of 8. There are only 6 beds, one of them is a King, another is a Queen and the rest are singles.

This place is excellent. The beds are comfy, the view is gorgeous, the living room offers the perfect setting to relax, and the kitchen is well equipped and includes coffee, tea, oils, spices, butter, etc. The owner is very friendly and gave us our privacy, very non-intrusive.

I recommend this place to everybody, my group and I truly enjoyed our stay. I will definately return the next time I'm in Haines.

We stayed here for a week and loved every minute. There were 10 of us total, including kids. Everyone had a comfortable bed, plenty of privacy and a huge great room and kitchen to enjoy our family get-together vacation. This lovely family home was just perfect for our 4 families!

The view out the front wall of windows was fantastic. We marveled over and over at just how perfectly the house had been placed on the property to make the most of it's location ... Private, yet only a 5 minutes drive to town.

We are a group that likes to go out and do things together. Haines is a great destination for this! During our week long stay we went charter fishing for Halibut, shore fishing for salmon and trout, bear watching almost every night, kayaking, crabbing off the dock, roaming around the town, driving any back road we could find and hiking several awesome trails. My favorite hike was the one to Superstition Point where we were treated to a stellar view of several glaciers that were super close....just across the bay!

Each return to the house, we'd come home sandy, muddy or wet from our day's adventure. The Hidden Cove house is designed for active people with a large carport to load and unload cars, a mud room and basement to strip off dirty clothes and boots and get them right to the laundry without dragging our mess thru the house!

Not one, but two hot tubs were always hot and ready to soothe tired muscles and relax in. The kitchen had every pot, pan and appliance we needed to cook meals for 10 and the basement was full of games to entertain the kid in all of us.

We've rented many homes through VRBO as we feel it's the best way to enjoy an area. We have always been pleased with the professional way VRBO handles their lodgings and travelers. Hidden Cove and Haines ALASKA ranks right at the top as one of our all time favorite vacation destinations.

We booked both Hidden Cove properties for a large group during the Haines Beer Festival. As Industry Professionals we preferred a spot a little away from downtown to get away from the craziness of beer fest. Hidden Cove was perfect. Everyone really enjoyed the amazing lawn and large deck that was bathed every afternoon in sunshine. The views of the of the mountains and bay were incredible. The house was very comfortable and the homeowner was very laid back and welcoming. The house was clean and had everything you would need at a home away from home, even an awesome BBQ grill! We would all stay here again for sure.

Thanks Greg for having us at your outstanding home overlooking the Chilkoot Inlet. It couldn't be moe Alaskan... My daughter, who wisely selected your place, son-in-law, my wife, two grandkids, everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Alas always too short. But we did have our freshly caught Salmon limit! Our host, Greg, was friendly & very helpful. I would definitely recommend this home to families or groups... The fire pit was a huge bonus on the last night!

Hope to return soon.
