About this house rental

Nestled in Juneau, this charming house for $451 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Let “The Cove” serve as your base and retreat as you explore this spectacular corner of Alaska. The Cove is nestled close to the shores of Smugglers Cove in the arms of the temperate rain forest of Southeast Alaska. Our location provides a unique blend of the feeling of remote living, but with the convenience of being close (8 miles) to the town center of Juneau. Come join us in your private home as you let your surroundings smuggle away your cares and reset your soul. Take some time to wander out our backdoor into the magic of the Rain forest, where salmon berries and blueberries flourish. Or maybe a beach walk along the shores of Smugglers Cove is more to your linking where resident eagles keep watch. Whatever you decide, the best part is knowing “The Cove” is waiting to embrace you when you return. As your base camp, your private cottage serves to help you recuperate from your adventures, it provides you a relaxing setting to give your legs and feet a rest, comforting beds to carry you to sleep and a full kitchen and barbecue should you decide to practice your culinary skills. So make us a part of your next visit, enjoy our views and relax in the comfort of the cove. There is much to do and see around Juneau from kayaking to hiking. So if you need help with arrangements let us know we love Alaska and love to share it with others. If you're here to work or vacation, consider "The Cove" for your home away from home. My husband built this original home 20 years ago. Here we raised our three children before “living small” was popular. Over the past four years we added a detached home next to it where we now reside. We reserve “The Cove” for children to come back to and for YOU to come visit for a wonderful Alaska stay. Your (900 sq ft) private space includes the main entrance and bedroom with full size murphy bed, on lower level with rear exit leading to back yard and fire pit. Upper level includes kitchen, dining and seating area with spacious deck and barbecue, as well as, bedroom with queen bed, laundry, and shower only bathroom. The location is 10 min from the airport. Situated in popular Auke Bay with a new Brewery, dining options, and whale watching boats, fishing and kayaking available. “Out the road” find more beaches and tourist attractions including one of my favorites, The Shrine of St. Therese. The Mendenhall Glacier is also in close proximity which is a must see. I especially like the walk to Nugget Falls water fall.

The house and area exceeded our expectations. We were only there for a short 3 days, but had an amazing time. The house was stocked with everything you would need. We loved how the spice cabinet even had a jar labeled"chocolate" with several chocolate candies inside. Lots of small, little touches that made this an ideal base for our adventures. We hope to be back!!

We recently stayed at the "Cove" for 8 nights and have to say, it is an ideal place for adventure in Juneau. The location is perfectly situated with Juneau to the south, Auke Bay near by, and all the hiking trails to the north. The home was clean, well decorated with all the amenities you need for a family. The hot tub is an excellent treat at the end of a long day, and the best part is the private outdoor shower! The owners were very responsive and accommodating. We got a short tour when we arrived and when the warm days arrived, they provided camp chairs for us for a day at the "beach." We hope to go back soon...thank you for a wonderful stay!

My husband Ron and I started planning his retirement trip over a year ago. He always wanted to go to Alaska and after watching several you tube videos on different parts of Alaska, we zeroed in on Juneau! We knew that we didn’t want to be on a cruise and just have 8 or so hours in Juneau, so he started looking in VRBO and found THE COVE! Wow! What a great experience from start to finish. I connected with Bernadine right away and she was exceptionally wonderful to work with, even sending a package of things to do in Juneau and a map to our home in Florida, to help us plan our trip. Upon arriving, she greeted us and made sure we had everything that we needed. The home was clean and beautiful and there wasn’t anything that she didn’t think of, to make our stay at The Cove complete. We stayed 7 days and the location was far enough away from downtown Juneau but yet close enough to enjoy as well. We booked a whale watching tour with Jayleens Whale watching company upon Bernadine’s suggestion and it was amazing. The dock was near by as well. We also took a Seaplane Tour to Taku Is, which was spectacular! All in all, we told our family that we would definitely recommend them staying at The Cove, bar none! Thank you, Bernadine 😎

Lovely two story with a view. Private hot tub, calm color choices, stocked with every amenity, and delightful host. Nicest Vrbo rental yet in a spectacular landscape of mountains, ocean, eagles and whales. Wish we never had to leave! Thank you Bernadette!
