Centrally located a short 10 minute walk to town. The 1930 home has been totally remodeled but has kept the luster of its era with the original hardwood floors and built in linen pantry. The bathroom has in floor heated tile and a large shower stall. The rooms are tastefully decorated with the original wood floors. With a million dollar view of the Tongass Narrows you can watch cruise ships anchor, fishing boats transit and eagles hover overhead while you enjoy your morning coffee or evening drink watching the sunset. The kitchenette has a sink, mini refer, coffee maker, microwave, toaster and all the utensils and serving dishes needed for your use. Because of insurance regulations there is not a stove. The rates are for one room with 2 persons. You can rent the other two rooms for a rate of $35 per each additional guest ages 6 years and older, per night. Children 5 and younger ate $25per night. This is NOT a shared space. In other words once you make your reservation the other 2 rooms are blocked off, unless of course you reserve them, so that just you and your guest have the total area to yourselfs. This is a two story home, I live on the bottom floor and your area is the upstairs. You do have a private entrance with a cipher pad with your personal code so that you can enter or exit as you please. For your convenience you'll have access to a washer and dryer with laundry soap, bleach etc and an ironing board and iron. A hair dryer is available too. Why stay in a hotel when you can stay at a place that you'll fell like your home away from home with one of the best views in town. Two rooms have queen beds and the third room has a bunk bed with a full mattress (slightly smaller than a queen), on bottom and a single mattress on top.

About the host
Hosted by John McMahon
Hello. My name is John and I've lived in Alaska for over 40 years. I retired from the State of Alaska six years ago as Captain on the State ferry Columbia. I like walking, hiking, cooking, traveling, meeting people and being with family.
Why they chose this property
I've had a Bed and Breakfast here for over 7 years. I enjoy meeting new guest and making their stay as enjoyable as possible. The location is perfect because its a short walk to the city center and a short walk in the other direction to Safeway, Plaza Mall and some good restaurants. The historic location, Captains Hill, was named because back in 1930's most of the homes were occupied by salmon and halibut captains. The view is to die for and it never gets old. Watching all the vessel traffic sail by, cruise ships, state ferries, fishing boats, private yachts and kayakers makes for a viewing spectacle that is just out of this world. The summer sunsets and the eagles hovering overhead makes this home, The View, one of the top rated spots to stay.
What makes this property unique
Location, location , location. You may pay a little more to stay but you get so much more for your dollar. All the amenities, location, Historic street and the fantastic view.
