Perfect Peacefulness
This was our first trip to Alaska. Since I travel for work and spend a great deal of time in hotels, we wanted a peaceful retreat for our week in Ketchikan. WE FOUND IT! The Explorer's Cottage is a quaint and stunning home away from home. We truly relaxed and felt so comfortable during our stay. Scott and Amanda have obviously spent a great deal of time considering the possible needs of the guests. The area is quiet and within a reasonable driving distance to a store for quick pick-up items. We were able to come and go without any difficulty. We walked the beach in front during low tide and took the kayaks out for a little adventure. The excellent quality washer and dryer were nice since we went fishing and needed to clean our clothes afterward. I would highly recommend this property to any adult couple looking for a private get-away.

Heaven on Earth!
This cottage exceeded our expectations, mostly because of the spectacular view! The listing pictures don’t do it justice. The cottage is so cozy yet ample space for 2 people. They have everything you need and MORE! There are lots of kitchen pantry staples provided plus they will let you know before arrival what other basic foods they provide (bread, butter, etc). The kayaks were a very fun activity right off the beach in front of the cottage! And what did we see while kayaking out front of the cottage? A whale!!! So much to see and do on the island but even if you just stayed and lounged at the cottage would be enough! Many thanks to the kind and hospitable hosts! Be back soon!

Amazing Ketchikan Cottage!
The cottage exceeded our expectations! Views of the water were fantastic! We saw several cruise ships right out our window during our stay. Scott and Amanda were fantastic hosts. They provided tips on some of Ketchikan's hidden treasures and even started us off with some food and spice items. Overall we had a great vacation! Definitely would stay here again.
