This rental was absolutely perfect for our vacation to Juneau. The host and her dog (Mel) welcomed us with open arms. The rental was perfectly clean and had everything we needed and then some. The view from the deck really truly was the breathtaking views we traveled to Juneau for. We can’t wait to come back and stay again!

Beautiful spot, quiet street; cozy with all the amenities you need ie, washer and dryer, well stocked kitchen, backpacks and waders for fishing &hiking. The host was very gracious. The location was private with wonderful views but also just 15 minutes to downtown. I highly recommend it. Judy and David from Austin Texas

Great location and host

The Hideaway is well stocked with all you need for cooking and general needs. Ela was a great host and we had a great stay here. Auke Bay is really low key and we loved the area too. Close to Mendwnhall glacier and “out the road” towards St Therese was fun.

Otter’s Hideaway is the place to stay!

The Otter’s Hideaway was such a beautiful place to stay and our property manager, Ela, and her dog Mel were the best! The place was very clean, homey, and offered amazing views of the bay all day. Whether you’re looking for a nice retreat or just a place to stay on a part of your trip, you can’t get any better than the Otter’s Hideaway! 10/10 would definitely stay again and I’m looking forward to staying there again in the near future.

About the host

Hosted by Ela Wehrmann

Host profile image
I was living in California when I took a summer break to be in Alaska. I spent the summer in Gustavus which is a ferry ride or short flight from Juneau. I fell in love with the vast majestic beauty of Alaska and decided to stay. I choose Juneau because it offered more emenities and yet all this wilderness to explore. I absolutely love it here. It is a magical place.

Why they chose this property

The view is spectacular. I love living near the water.
