House, 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 6)

Welcome! Located six miles south of Ketchikan at Mountain Point, this family-friendly house is steps from the water, fishing, boat launch, and the scenic walking path to town. This home offers all you need for a long weekend or multiple-week stay in the Ketchikan vicinity, the perfect hub to exploring scenic Southeast Alaska.

Like you, we travel. And we know what we like: those extra touches that make for a relaxing, comfortable stay. Our goal is to provide simple, pleasing accommodations with everything you need to enjoy your time in Southeast Alaska.

About The Owner

Your hosts, Kent & Nicole, were raised in Utah before taking a respite to build a cabin on a wilderness island in Southeast Alaska. They later moved from the Wrangell area to Ketchikan, where they operated the local radio station for several years. As their next adventure, they explored the southern hemisphere, working abroad for more than a decade in Antarctica and New Zealand.

Nicole is a former newspaper and radio reporter, magazine editor and now is a natural resources attorney. After a long career in radio and television broadcast, Kent now leads technical projects for the National Science Foundation's U.S. Antarctic Program.

When not in the Lower 48 or southern hemisphere, Kent and Nicole can be found soaking up the rainforest at home in Ketchikan.

The Owner purchased this house in 1998
Why The Owner chose Ketchikan

This article, written by Nicole years ago for the Ketchikan Visitors Bureau media kit, helps explain why we keep returning to Ketchikan and consider it 'home:'

'Step onto the dock in Ketchikan and feel it – the rhythm of an island life. Time spent in a place where all roads circle back to center; where the day’s schedule ebbs and flows to the tides, daylight hours, and Alaska Airlines flight schedule. No corporate time clock or freeway traffic here. And any industrial noise is that of an occasional floatplane or the slap of a fishing boat’s lines flying ashore.

Bound to a single, sprawling community that stretches some 35 miles from one end of the developed road system to the other, residents of this Alaska town and associated rural borough appreciate a refined sense of cohesiveness that comes from living together in some isolation. At once gritty, eclectic, and yet strikingly civilized, there is something in Ketchikan’s island life that speaks to most everyone.'

What makes this house unique

This home provides a convenient headquarters for exploring the best of the Panhandle. Live like a local and experience the real Alaska.

Great accommodations

A good comfortable accommodation a little ways out of town altho nothing is really far in Ketchikan. Only downside is you overlook a poorly kept residence with much junk in the yard out your main window to the water.

Two sons, two grandsons and myself spent a week at the South Tongass Home. We were welcomed and helped with information. The home was very comfortable and clean. It was well supplied with cooking and eating utinsels. It is close to the "tourist visit sites", although we spent almost all of our time on the water--fishing and exploring the coast-line. (Spectacular) The early teenage boys missed a TV which is not in the home. We were busy enough and enough other activities that it was not an issue to us. We will stay again!!

We just returned from our visit; a three generation vacation. The house was perfect, the location was great and Kent and Nicole were wonderful,gracious hosts. The property definitely exceeded our expectations Once particularly wonderful suprprise was the lovely water views from the kitchen and living room. The house is much closer to the water than we anticipated. If we return to Ketchikan we will definitely want to stay again!

A beautiful home. Great hosts. Well worth the money. The cheapest rental in Ketchikan and by far the very best. Very clean, looked like we were the first renters. Loved the place. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Ketchikan. I have been visiting Ketchikan for over 30 years and this was the best bargain I found in all that time.
