This place was perfect for us! This was our first trip to Juneau and Alaska, so we wanted to get a broad picture of the area. Hillside Haven was close to plenty of amenities and services, but well away from the cruise ship crowds of downtown. We rented a car, so we were able to spend a few half days downtown enjoying the restaurants and other attractions, and the rest of the time out exploring on our own, up and down the coast, the glacier, and Douglas Island.We were able to rent a kayak and arrange a separate whale watching excursion, both at Auke Bay just a couple of miles down the road. The Alaska State Ferry terminal is also at Auke Bay, but on the northern end, so it is literally walking distance away from the suite (1/2 mile or so if I had to guess).Theresa and Tommy were the great hosts. They gave us the perfect balance of privacy to do our thing, but Theresa was always available to answer any questions about the place or the surrounding amenities in the area if we needed help.The place was clean and comfortable, and had a well appointed kitchen, bathroom and even access to a laundry room. To top it off, the steam shower / hot tub also felt really nice after spending a couple of cooler rainy days out exploring in our rain gear.We would definitely stay here again!
