Other things to note

Transportation

The home is located off of the road system and can only be accessed by a 30 minute boat from Knudson Cove Marina which is about 40 minutes by Taxi from Ketchikan. We will meet you at the marina and transport you out to the rental property in our 24ft cabin cruiser. And of course, take you back to the road at the end of your stay.

Food/Meals

Please note. This is a rental, not a lodge, or bed and breakfast. No meals are provided. Due to the remote off road location, guests will need to bring all food for all meals for the duration of their stay. This can be purchased in Ketchikan after arrival before coming out to the Marina. We recommend you shop at the Alaskan and Proud Grocery Store, which is a few minutes by Taxi from the Airport (or a short walk). Ketchikan also has a selection of good sporting stores if any additional fishing or hiking gear is needed.

We do provide all cooking pots, pans, utensils, and basics such as cooking oil, tea, coffee; sugar, salt.

Flight Arrival/Departure times.

Arrival: We recommend guests arrive in Ketchikan late morning / early afternoon which will give a few hours for shopping, before taking the taxi out to Knudson Cove Marina. We will pick you up any time from noon onwards when you have finished all your shopping, and transport you out to your vacation home.

Departure: We recommend departing from Ketchikan late morning/early afternoon and we will get you back to the road / Knudson Cove Marina by 09:00 hrs on the day of your departure. If you are on a later flight, you are welcome to enjoy more time at the home and check out around 1.00pm.

Please note, due to the risk of occasional early morning fog, we cannot guarantee getting you back to the road in time for the very first flight out of Ketchikan. If you have no choice, and can only depart on the first flight we recommend that you stay in town the evening before your departure from Ketchikan. I.E: Guests will need to book an additional night at a hotel in Ketchikan after your stay with us.

Cell Phone / Internet access

We do not provide internet access, but most cell phones (with data) do work at our location, but can be poor/intermittent in bad weather.

We have had guests bring portable Starlink equipment that is very easy to set up, (literally put antenna on deck and run a lead indoors) and works well.

16ft Skiff/25 HP Outboard

We provide a complimentary skiff. We will provide fuel at cost. Fishing equipment is provided. Guests will need to bring their own bait (which can be purchased at A&P Grocery Store). Lost lures, flashers etc will be charged at cost.

Canoes & Kayak

We provide a complimentary double canoe, single canoe and two single kayaks.
