About this property

Home away from home in scenic coastal Alaskan rainforest

Come stay at the Breadline Bluff Lodging and share a stunning view with ravens, bald eagles, and more!

The Breadline Bluff is a stretch of coastline 20 miles north of downtown Juneau, Alaska, and 12 miles north of the Juneau airport (personal transportation is recommended). This “out-the-road” location means you’ll enjoy peace and quiet in one of the Juneau area’s most favorable micro-climates (ie least rainy!) and also be perfectly situated for hiking, camping, fishing, or boating adventures in one of our state parks or the Tongass National Forest.

Our restful waterfront house is perched on a wooded lot and features beach access, a covered wrap-around deck,, grill, and all the comforts of home (laundry, full stove, television and high-speed internet).

The master bedroom has a queen bed with attached bathroom, a view of the ocean and private entrance onto the covered wrap-around deck. The east bedroom has an option of two extra-long twin beds or a king-sized bed. Also available- cots, air mattresses and a twin fold-out for extra sleepers!

Local host will be happy to provide local tips.

Call or email Alice with any questions or for additional photos, and booking information. Pets may be welcome on approval. With our apologies, house is not wheelchair accessible.

Our entire home will be yours to enjoy (street number 20007A). We have an apartment over our attached garage where our property manager stays (street number 20007B). We have a car that shares the parking area.

The wildlife we welcome seeing include a neighborhood black bear who visits in the spring and summer. They have always been benign and very easy to scare off but are big enough and fast enough to be hurtful. We discourage them by keeping our trash inside the garage until collection morning and by keeping anything food related off our porches and decks (e.g. bird feed, smelly grills.)

The view was amazing. It made for a relaxing visit, with the awesome ability to get to the beach in short order. The house is an interesting layout (which we love about Juneau homes) and the decor fit right in with Cohen drive.

Five of us stayed at this wonderful home. There was plenty of room, the kitchen was well equipt and it was clean and comfortable. We saw whales and eagles almost every day before we even left the house. The house is on a quiet street and close to many nature trails yet still only a 25 minute drive from Juneau. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic value

The propertywas outstanding. The view was unforgettable and we saw half a dozen bald eagles every day. Kitchen has everything you need, plus lots more. Best of all was the beautiful and carefully thought out amenities—the library of books was amazing, the piano and guitar welcome treats. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great views, peaceful, quiet

We loved our stay at this house. The water and mountain views from the house and the balcony are great. The walk down the long flight of steps to the rocky beach below is a great way to get your morning exercise and get more great views. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is pretty well-stocked. The house has not been recently modernized but it's in good shape. We stayed here for a few days before departing on an Alaskan Dream Cruise leaving out of Juneau. We rented a car through Turo so that we could visit the town to Juneau, Mendenhall Glacier and some hiking spots. Saw the salmon running at nearby Eagle Beach State Park (beautiful park with lots of birds too) and there are lots of other trails and things to see along the Glacier Highway and other parts of Juneau. This was a lovely home base for our visit.

These views guys!

Let me tell you the when we got to the property we had been flying for 9 hours not bad but when we walked onto the back porch the view was amazing! It was like 1am when we finally arrived but you could hear the eagles calling out and the waves hitting the rocks down below. We couldn’t sleep so we sat out on the back porch just listening to all the nature. We saw porpoises, orca, salmon jumping and heard humpback whales splashing. There was even a sweet bear just being nosey with the flowers and stairs later that week we saw his girlfriend! Everything was stocked we didn’t really need to buy anything. We had a great time. There was some snags but we contacted the host and got it all settled.

Terrible Experience – Regret BookingWe stayed here for two nights with family and it was a disaster from the start. Communication with the host was poor, and when we arrived, the house was unlocked with dog poop all over the entrance. The entrance code provided was wrong which we discovered the next day. Inside, one bathroom and the laundry room had really bad water leaks, and the other bathroom had a clogged sink. The owner lists this property through his daughter but seems completely unaware of what’s happening. Worst of all, they knew about these problems before our stay yet made no mention of them when we booked. The house is far from downtown Juneau, in poor condition, and wildly overpriced for what you get. The only positive is the view—if you’re still in the mood to enjoy it after dealing with all the problems. I wish I had booked somewhere else.

Everything we hoped for and more

This was a perfect spot for our family to call home for our Alaskan adventure. We went on a number of excursions during our stay but the most wonderful memories we created were here...kayaking and canoeing, fishing, exploring the sea life during low tide and just enjoying the beautiful scenery. And everything we needed was there at the house. In fact dinner our last night was salmon that my son caught using the provided fishing gear. There are a lot steps to get down to the shoreline so you get your exercise going back up but it is so worth it. My one piece of advice is to find a walking stick for traversing the shoreline on day one and keep it handy. That stick made exploring so much easier. And a special thanks to Alice for being the perfect host! If we ever return to Juneau this is where we will stay.

Spectacular home and view

Lovely home and location with plenty of room and everything needed. Adults took master bedroom, 13yr old took the other bedroom and 10yr old took the pull out couch. Did laundry using the weighted lid trick as instructed and it worked fine. Great location to do whale watching out of Auke bay charters.

Juneau Stay

A great property; well located on a bluff with an awesome ocean view. Far enough out of town to give you a great taste of living in the woods of Alaska -with all the comforts. Alice, a great hostess who was helpful and accommodating. Yet she did her best not hover or be bothersome in any way. A great place to stay - a cabin home with character and all the comforts. Juneau is a great place to vacation- fishing, wildlife-we saw bears, deer, porcupine, marmot, otters, whales, killer whales and more…. We’ll be back…

We would highly recommend this property! The owners were extremely thoughtful, down to every detail. For example, Upon arrival, there were not only fresh flowers on the kitchen table, the there was also a delicious chocolate on everyone’s pillow. There was milk and eggs in the fridge, along with some bread for us to use to get us started. Again, we would highly recommend staying here!

This property was scheduled last minute due to Covid restrictions on our previous rental, and I am SO glad it was! This home was so peaceful, quiet and easy to get to! The owner was incredibly accommodating allowing us to show up hours before check in to do some minor decorations and drop off all of the groceries AND she let us check out late! It was perfect!

Great house

We visited Juneau for the first time and this house was perfect. Alice was welcoming and very informed about the local area. She gave my husband some fishing spots to try. The house was just right for our family of three. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked for cooking, we ate almost all our meals there. Laundry room was very helpful. Alice gave us access to all of her outdoor gear to use, canoe, paddle board, rain gear, boots, gloves etc..and even bear spray! We enjoyed the deck and stairs down to the beach, all 143 of them. The resident cats came to visit each evening which was fun too. Would definitely stay again!
