Otter Den Studio—A wild Alaskan getaway surrounded by wildlife and adventure!
Find us on social media to follow along with local and guest adventures.
The Tongass Treehouse Otter Den studio is a scenic getaway sitting about a hundred feet up in the lush rainforest canopy with the ocean in your front yard. Start your day with coffee while listening to eagles and whale watching from the living room or the deck, then enjoy Juneau's best offerings - like remote glacier hikes or local shopping - all less than 15 minutes away, then return to luxurious comforts to relax at home and watch the sunset as flying squirrels and eagles play next to the deck, and orcas feed just feed from the shore.
This is our home, we rent it out when we do work travel. This is the bottom-floor studio of the Orcaview Cabin and is a completely separate unit with a separate entrance on a separate story. Both units have access to laundry in our utility room through a door outside.
Please note the house is on a steep hillside and requires being comfortable with a few stories of stairs to access the unit (we ask everyone if they're okay with stairs before accepting a booking). We are in the forests of Alaska, so wildlife and occasional bugs are a fact of life.
This is not a dedicated rental (it's our home), we do not have children and our home is not child-proofed, so if you have young children be aware.
We do have cats that live in the studio on rare occasions - our allergen mitigation includes vacuuming daily with a HEPA filtered vacuum, and a Winix C545 HEPA filter. We have had a number of guests with severe cat allergies stay and tell us they had no symptoms, but it is something to be aware of.
All photos taken by us at or close to the Tongass Treehouse.
If you have any questions, please let us know! We are also happy to help our guests plan their adventures.
This is our home, we live here and rent it out when out of town for work. Please treat it as your own :)

Points forts : Emplacement
Property was as shown/described; well appointed kitchen with quality appliances and cookware, easy to use Roku TV but the main show is in the channel. Humpbacks, including one surfacing on our last night 20 yards off shore around dusk as it traveled up the shoreline. Eagles flying by and Sea Lions swimming around the island in front of us and lounging on a submerged rock outcrop during low tide. Bathroom while small was very functional with quality fixtures. In an area with plenty of trailhead for walking/hiking, great views and 20 mins to airport and 25 min to town

Exceeded expectations
We stayed in the Otters Den for 3 nights and it was fantastic! The views were exceptional and we spent a lot of time on the deck. The hosts were very responsive and had great recommendations for things to do in the area and close by the Treehouse. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

My Wife and I spent a few days here in September. Juneau is a wonderful place with great views and hikes but staying here put it over the top for us. Wonderful hosts and a wonderful place to spend time together.

The treehouse is perfect in every way! Location, wildlife, comfort, amenities, peace and quiet, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. We saw humpbacks or orcas every morning- bald eagles swooping by, otters, sea lions- it was incredible! The location is perfect, far enough away from town that you feel the peace and quiet, but close enough that it’s no trouble to run in for groceries or dinner. Clay is so helpful and made our trip even more memorable with recommendations for kayaking, food, hikes… We will be back!

Perfect getaway
We spent a week in Juneau in late June and felt so lucky to be staying in the Otter Den! It was the perfect place to return to after a day of hiking and exploring the area, so cozy and comfortable with unsurpassed views from the balcony. Eagles flew by, salmon splashed, and the light on the sea was mesmerizing. Clay and Erica were wonderfully welcoming hosts and had terrific recommendations about places to eat and things to do during our stay. Absolutely magical memories of our time in the Tongass Treehouse.

Our week long stay at the Otter Den was, by far, the most relaxing vacation my husband and I have ever taken. The view from the balcony is amazing, especially when you see whales right in front of this wonderful place! The host, Clay is very prompt with communication and was always ready with suggestions for restaurants and area places to visit. The Otter Den offers a cozy stay with everything you need at your fingertips. We highly recommend staying at the Tongass Treehouse!

The Fischer’s have created a warm and comfortable space. I relaxed, read and watched an amazing number of eagles. The view is unparalleled. Bring binoculars, you will see whales.

Next Level Good
Get away from the cruise ships and into nature. The deck is where you’ll want to spend a lot of time. The kitchen, snacks, treats, coffee was a nice touch, and the pots, pans are better than my home. The trails near by will keep you busy, and a good location for glacier access. Think Wildlife and Real Alaska!The Owners are kind and responsive, thank you. This is a special place.

Magnificent!
We loved staying in the Otter Den! Clay and Erica have created a very comfortable, clean and beautiful space! The view was absolutely spectacular, the amenities were modern (loved the heated bathroom floor), the kitchen had everything needed for the "foody" in me to prepare meals. The hosts were very responsive to any questions. There is so much to explore within minutes, or just enjoy quiet moments with stunning sunsets and wildlife viewing from the deck!
Clay and Erica; Thank you for sharing your beautiful space. We miss being there already!

A magical adventure in Alaska
We had a wonderful stay at The Tongass Treehouse. The Otter's Den was clean, cosy, very well equipped and finished to a high standard. The view from the deck was stunning, every sunset was different and sublime. The location was also fantastic, as it was so easy to access the numerous trails and creeks, the Mendenhall Glacier, airport, Mendenhall Mall, Juneau and Auke Bay. During our stay we took a float plane to Chicagof Island to view Brown Bears, saw Black bears closer to base camp, walked in the footprints of bears and wolves and saw Humpback Whales, chatted to squirrels and made some amazing new friends. The Forbidden Peak Brewery and the Alaskan Brewing Company provided pleasant and relaxing interludes to all the adventures. Such a magical experience. We highly recommend South East Alaska and the Tongass Treehouse. Thank you Clay for allowing us to stay at your incredible retreat. :-)

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Clay Fischer
Childhood sweethearts, we grew up right here in Tee Harbor more than 20 years ago. After moving down south and traveling the world, we realized that wherever we went, there really was no place like home. Moving back to Alaska isn't easy. We waited and waited for the right home. Eventually we made a trip up to check the Tongass Treehouse out, and finally found a home in the lush rainforest with an ocean view that made even locals like us speechless.
We do still travel for work, and that is when we rent out our home (both the upper and lower unit).
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
When we first visited what was to become the Tongass Treehouse, we walked past a marmot and porcupine to the deck where eagles were calling right off the balcony and orcas playing right offshore, close enough their breath wafted up to us. In the short time checking the place out we saw a momma black bear and cubs, a half dozen humpbacks feeding and a huge pod of steller sea lions playing. As the sun set there were flying squirrels gliding in the canopy and salmon jumping by the thousands right offshore. We knew this was the place for us. We were home again. This was everything Juneau had to offer as a secluded retreat, but only 15 minutes from town, and being two units in one structure, we can have guests as well. As a hobbyist wildlife photographer, I don't even have to leave the property to get incredible shots. All the photos shared were taken by us at or near the property!
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
There are lots of rentals in Juneau, but almost none give you the forest and the beach in one - and when they do, they charge top dollar for it. We still can't believe that we sip our morning coffee from bed while watching humpback whales breach. We go out to the deck and the eagles call and ravens sing to us. Being up in the canopy we get such a different look at nature, and being a hundred feet above the beach facing west we are treated to a stunning sunset every night. There are no visible neighbors, though we chat with them when going on walks and they are absolutely amazing and full of local knowledge. There is half a mile of forest to the south and miles of beach where we have never seen another person, offering world-class salmon fishing. Within 15 minutes you can hike to incredibly remote glaciers, have all kinds of beaches to yourself, do local shopping and eat at amazing restaurants, stock up at Costco, and catch some of the freshest fish for homemade fish tacos. After a long day of hiking and adventuring, nothing beats coming back to our affordable luxury to rest and recover.
