We'll Be Back!

Kelli's property is the only place I stay when I go to Juneau - I especially like the Baked Alaska room - it is so cozy. The common areas (kitchen and living room) are spacious and so intriguing with the decor. It is a short walk to Aucke Bay Cafe (yum!), the University, and Aucke Bay Trail. We will be back soon! Thanks, as always, Kelli! : )

Baked Alaska

The place was exactly as advertised. Since we were visiting our son for Christmas, we were looking for something reasonable and close to his home. This was both. Also accessible at all hours, which we came & went. Very clean and nice. Only complaint was the bed was high and my husband had to help me in. Very quiet and beautiful.

Very nice house

They thought of just about everything! My only 2 complaints were a very annoying clicking clock in my room which was easily disabled (took out the battery) and a turpentine-like smell throughout the common areas only (pretty strong). The bed was very comfortable, had a full bathroom and fridge in my room and a space heater when the radiant floor heater couldn't quite do the job. VERY clean nice house :)

Convient location

Convenient to public transportation and Auke Bay. Difficulty getting into room due to broken key lockbox. House was dark upon arrival, very uncomfortable walking into unfamiliar property knowing house has shared roo.s with other tenants.

Luxurious peace and quiet!

I booked a short stay to extend my time in Juneau at the end of a guided trip. What a perfect way to end my travels! Worn out from a couple of week’s worth of on-the-go activities, I had a chance to slowly savor the beauty of Alaska and rest in the comfiest bed ever with a hot shower. Nice place!

Great stay! Will stay there again.

My husband and I stayed at this location, both at the beginning and end of our trip. It was a great place to stay! The room was clean, the bed was fantastic, no issues with anything at the location. Parking is simple with easy access into the house. The shared space in the larger portion of the home is kept very well. The granite work is also beautiful. There are other rooms available at the same site. We will look into them for future trips. We would recommend staying here.

Short visit before cruise

Very pleased to find this at a price that allowed us to also rent a car...both for less than the cost of a Juneau hotel. Used kitchen to store our breakfast and picnic food for daily outings. Loved all of the granite and unusual and interesting decor. Room always seemed too warm and no screens on windows. Opened windows anyway, which allowed the first mosquito of the season to find us. Would absolutely recommend. Bed was super comfortable. Place was very clean.

Baked Alaska Stay

I recently spent 5 days in Juneau and needed a space to lay my head after I landed. Fortunately, I found countonKelli.com on the vrbo.com website and was able to secure a last minute reservation for this quaint little place. It is centrally located to the airport, marinas and downtown Juneau. I highly recommend this unique getaway spot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Baked Alaska

If you want to spend a few days in Juneau, this is the place. Close to Mendenhall glacier, close to the airport, and a short drive to downtown. Just rent a car and be at your leisure. Room was neat & clean, bathroom was a nice size and the shower cpuld fit 2 adults no problem. Kelli was very helpful with check in & out, as well as booking excursions around town. Great location and would stay again in a heart beat.

I got off the ferry late and had and early morning flight. It was the perfect spot to stay for half a night. Well cleaned and maintained. And the property manager was easy to communicate with.
