About this property
Best Vacation Rental in the Heart of Juneau
This wonderful vacation home is perfectly situated to provide a glorious, 180 degree view of Gastineau Channel, easy walking distance to downtown, and ‘backyard’ access to a trail system that can take you to the Perseverance Trail and beyond. Solid hickory floors provide a welcome warmth and cozy feel as you watch the sunrise over the channel. Once you settle in for your stay, you might not want to go anywhere!

Why they chose this property
OVERVIEW: Completely furnished, centrally located home with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The kitchen, dining room and living room embody the definition of an open floor plan. Each bedroom has a comfortable queen bed and the living room features a comfortable, pull-out sofa that sleeps two. The kitchen bar seats 2 and the table expands to seat 8 comfortably
FIRST FLOOR: The first floor is accessed by one step from the outside and has one private and quiet bedroom, one full-bathroom, a fully-furnished dining/living room and well-stocked kitchen with jaw-dropping views from every location.
SECOND FLOOR: The second floor is reached by 18 stairs. The two private and quiet bedrooms share a full bathroom with “Jack and Jill” access.
TOP OF THE WORLD: Three more stairs bring you up to an open family room with high ceilings and unobstructed, 180 degree views of mountains, ocean, and the underlying neighborhood. Great place for a cup of coffee in the morning to watch the sunrise or to sit in the evening with the lights off and watch the city lights.

What makes this property unique
This was a historic miner’s home that was recently renovated by the Alaskan and Swiss owners over the course of two years. The exposed steel beam that supports the addition of the living and dining room is the beam from the original Juneau-Douglas bridge.
Solid hickory floors on the first level provide a very cozy feel to a house that is surrounded on two sides by windows. You won’t find a better view in all of Juneau!
