About this property
Beautiful Downstairs Studio for rent
Studio is in the downstairs of a large 7,000 sq. ft. home that sits on a private 2.5 acre lot with spectacular panoramic views of the ocean and mountains. Located in a beautiful setting, you will enjoy overlooking Sitka Sound, outlying islands and passageways. Eagles are abundant during summer months and on occasion you may spot deer roaming in our yard, or get to see whales out front. Studio is a spacious, 1,275 sq. ft. space with a private entry. You will find a large, open floor plan with a well-equipped kitchen, full bathroom (we have a shower-no bath) and sleeping area. For those who enjoy the outdoors we have a nice outdoor space for you to enjoy. This includes table & chairs if you want to sit out. * There is a queen, double, & sofa sleeper for beds. I’d say 3 sleep comfortably if two are doubling up on the queen bed. There is a daily fee of $25.00 for each additional guest over 2. We provide most all the comforts of home inside this cozy space. *Cleaning fee of $200.00 will be charged IF rental is left a mess. **Please note: Since this studio is a downstairs rental you will hear noise from above as it is our living space, mostly during the day. We have dogs so you will hear them move about or occasional barking alerting us that someone is coming or going. Although we love kids our rental is not suited for small children, older children who can follow inside rules as far as noise, breakables and such are welcome but this is not a child proof rental. We have TV but it is not cable, we use internet TV You Tube TV which has plenty of channels to enjoy. If you have a Netflix password you can use that here as well. * If you are an agency or employer and are renting this for someone else please provide us their full names & contact info (phone number, & address) as we will expect the guest to be who is signed up on this site. You will take full responsibility for any damages or additional fees they incur. Thank you!

My wife and I only had time to spend one night here - but would have enjoyed staying longer. Very nice, quiet location with great views. Easy to find, extremely clean and well maintained. It was perfect.
We enjoyed our stay here very much. It was very clean, comfortable, and felt like home. The space was well-designed. We will definitely return during our next trip to Sitka!
This extremely large studio was perfect for four adults. There was lots of room and the place was super clean. Plenty of parking by the front door and great views outside. Would definitely stay here again!
Great place to stay. Roomy and clean. If you are bothered by dog noise such as running back and forth on the floor above and barking this may not be ideal. If that doesn’t bother you then you will love staying here. We had a rental car so getting in to town was a breeze. It’s a fair walk into town but doable. The car was great for getting to some of the more remote areas of Sitka for hiking and nature.
My wife and i are traveling Alaska, As we were driving to the home we thought “ how can the views be as good as they looked on the ad.”
We were very happy as we arrived and we did see the fantastic views we were hoping for.
Wow what a beautiful place and well managed.
I would defiantly stay there again
This property is exceptionally well-appointed and clean. Great views of the water from a hillside location. Very quiet night and day. A bit of a hike from town, but taxis are plentiful and affordable.

Spacious studio, new and clean with a variety of artwork throughout.
Incredible view!
The hosts were very responsive and helpful
All of our needs were met in the extremely accommodating home. Beds, bedding, kitchen and bathroom had all the conveniences. We highly recommend this property for groups!
Beautiful view, spacious, comfortable & great host!
We loved our stay in the very large Studio. It was very comfortable, has lovely views of Sitka Bay and was fully equipped with everything we needed. It was the perfect place to call home during our six days in Sitka. If I ever emailed the host with a question, I received an immediate response. I didn't have many questions because the Host has a binder with everything you need to know about the property and great recommendations for what to do and where to eat in Sitka. We hope to return next summer!
Very uneventful. The power went out, which is common in small communities of Alaska, for a short period and the owner immediately contacted me to let me know what to expect. It came back on almost as fast as it shut off and life moved on. Very enjoyable stay.
Absolutely beautiful location, of a lovely house!
The amenities and decor were really great!
My husband would rate this all 5 stars. I'm a clean freak and felt that there were areas that could use improvement.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would look forward to visiting again!
Perfect for our short stay in Sitka. Lovely studio with a view. Very clean, well stocked and comfortable. Will definitely be our choice for a return trip to Sitka.
This is a beautiful, well maintained property that easily accommodated 4 adults. Everything was neat and clean when we arrived. It is located just on the edge of town up on a hill. Gorgeous views and easy access to food and stores. It is beautifully decorated inside.
Lovely, spacious unit. Very modern, all furniture and beds are comfortable. Views of Edgecumbe and a wonderful outdoor space. Easy to town and marinas. We will 100% consider this rental again on our next trip to Sitka.
Easy working with owner. Lovely LARGE and homey studio space with separated sleeping areas. We actually loved listening to the pups upstairs (missing our own). Wish we could have stayed longer.

About the host
Hosted by Ty & Val Barkhoefer
Born and raised here in Sitka Alaska. Attended school in both Sitka and Kenai. Commercial fishing is our way of life. Feel blessed to live in Alaska and in what I consider to be the most beautiful place on earth. Sitka is a special place and I hope your visit here will be an amazing time.
Why they chose this property
We are lucky to live in a beautiful setting and a quiet neighborhood. We fell in love with this home because we got the best of both worlds with the forest behind us and ocean views that make us never want to leave home.
What makes this property unique
A quiet, peaceful piece of property with amazing views.
