The Hideaway is well stocked with all you need for cooking and general needs. Ela was a great host and we had a great stay here. Auke Bay is really low key and we loved the area too. Close to Mendwnhall glacier and “out the road” towards St Therese was fun.

We had a tremendous stay in this perfect location! Far enough away from the Cruise Ship driven activities downtown to get the feel of the local community, but close enough to easily be in the city when we wanted to be there. Super convent from the airport and all services are close by. The unit was well appointed with everything we needed. The views were stunning from the house! Ela, the host, was spot on from our very first communication at booking to the end of our visit. We could not have been more pleased. Highly recommended!!

We stayed for a week in July. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate very well for us, but we were able to enjoy some evenings at the fire pit watching the fantastic view.
Very quiet and private. Owner lives upstairs with her dog, but there was minimal if any sound that we could hear coming from above.
Small but reasonably well stocked kitchen. Bed was comfortable. Property has blackout shades in the bedroom.
Lots of nearby hiking.
Host was responsive and friendly.

What a fantastic place -- beautiful view of the bay (we saw seals and porpoises), cozy and delightful apartment and a wonderful host who provided suggestions for hikes, getaways and restaurants. We would stay here again. In fact, we didn't want to leave!

Our stay at Otters Hideaway was absolutely perfect! Ela is a wonderful host and we enjoyed meeting Mel. It was everything we hoped for and more. We will definitely make it our go to when staying in Juneau!

The Otter’s Hideaway was such a beautiful place to stay and our property manager, Ela, and her dog Mel were the best! The place was very clean, homey, and offered amazing views of the bay all day. Whether you’re looking for a nice retreat or just a place to stay on a part of your trip, you can’t get any better than the Otter’s Hideaway!
10/10 would definitely stay again and I’m looking forward to staying there again in the near future.

The Alaska Airlines flight attendant said, "Have a magical day," just after we landed in Juneau. I thought it was cute. Little did I know I was in for several magical days. Otter's Hideaway and the host, Ela, are incredible. Read the other reviews about how comfortable and thoughtfully appointed it is. For me, the magical part was outside.
I didn't just get to see porpoises, eagles, ravens, otters, and sea urchins and stars, I got to experience how they live. The ravens hunted worms. Sea stars clung to rocks as the tide went out. A pair of eagles spent most of their day perched in pine trees or sitting an a nearby dock. And the porpoises were almost always feeding and playing on the cove.
I experienced a lot of great things during my stay in Juneau, but the best thing was being connected to nature at Otter's Hideaway. Thank you Ela (and Mel)!

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. The kitchen was very well stocked and the washer/dryer was very useful for our wet clothes during the stormy weather. We walked over to Duck Island during the low tide. It was an easy drive to the airport, Glacier Visitor Center, and Downtown. The host communicated early and often which improved our experience. It was nice to be somewhere away from the tourist areas and be able to see other parts of the city.

Otter’s Hideaway is a good name for this property - very quiet and peaceful. The apartment is well-stocked with lots of thoughtful extras (i.e backpack) and the decor is delightful.

The property is absolutely magnificent. Inside it is decorated with artwork from the area. Not to mention the well stocked kitchen and bathroom. The view is phenomenal and peaceful. The host will assist you for local gems to explore. We will be back for sure. Thank you for having us at your beautiful property.

Amazing view, everything you could possibly need is provided, well stocked home with cleaning supplies, cooking accessories, towels, blankets etc. The home is very clean, host is friendly and provides lots of great suggestions in the area. Hiking trail right down the road, not far from downtown but far enough to feel relaxed and out of the city. Best home I’ve stayed in, can’t recommend it enough.

Otter’s Hideaway is a phenomenal property inside and out. Ela has provided everything a guest could ever want and or need. The furnishings are comfortable and thoughtful. There are several places to sit and enjoy the view. The sheets and towels are high quality and very soft. I will be coming back again!

We spent 6 days at Otters Hideaway for our honeymoon. We absolutely loved the location, not too far from Juneau but far enough that it feels secluded from the crowds. You're basically within 10-20 minutes from everything! Ela was a fantastic host, very friendly and communicative. You simply don't find hosts that think of everything their guests may need anymore. We enjoyed watching wildlife from the porch and opening the windows to fall asleep to the sounds of the tide. This place is cozy, comfortable bed, soft towels, well stocked kitchen to easily cook a meal, and spacious for my husband and I. We would highly recommend and stay again! Thank you, Ela for having us!

You can stop reading reviews now, and book this property! You won’t regret it. Absolutely perfect in every way. Ela was wonderful. Had everything you could possibly need for your trip. She even let Mel hang out with us on the deck. Tons of options for hiking, whether you want an easy stroll with breathtaking views, or hard treks through the forest. A few start right from the property, or just a short drive away. We didn’t really have a solid plan on what we were going to do, but Ela had a whole book of ideas along with restaurant recommendations. I can’t thank her enough. We had a blast! Highly recommend!

My wife and I were staying in Juneau to enjoy the sites and do some hiking, photography and excursions. Otters Hideaway was the perfect place to stay. The host was awesome, great communication and tips for the area. The place was clean and cozy, plenty of amenities. the back deck with the view of the bay is everything the pictures make you think it is. Our next trip to Juneau will probably revolve around whether this place is available agian!

The best VRBO we have ever rented. Ela our hostess was incredibly helpful, like a personal concierge. The view is amazing and we had everything we needed for a week in Juneau. Highly recommend!

The scenery is exquisite. The accommodations are all one could ask for, the property manager was helpful and kind! The Alaskan experience even included a benign neighborhood bear!

Otter’s Hideaway is a gem tucked away on the water with a view from a spacious deck. When the tide is out you can walk the beach to an island . The location is centrally located for any activity. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed for grilling at home. The hostess has created a charming and very comfortable paradise . I can’t wait to return.

We loved this apartment! The view was outstanding, the apartment was superbly stocked and the bed was super comfortable. I have a little WFH side hustle and needed Wifi while on vacation, and I was pleasantly surprised to find lightening fast internet connection, as well.
Ela gave us some great suggestions for hikes and things to do while in Juneau. She, her husband and dog, Mel, live upstairs and are very easy to contact if you have questions or need anything. Mel is a very friendly Goldendoodle doggo that came down and hung out with us a couple of times. If you’re not into dogs, just let Ela know, and she’ll keep him upstairs.
While we weee there, we kayaked in the bay, walked out to Duck Island during low tide and spent our evenings outside on the beautiful deck overlooking Auke Bay.
I can’t wait to go back next summer….highly recommend!!

Stunning views
Perfectly equipped property. Everything you need to make a home away from home.The accommodations are immaculate. The views from the porch are magnificent with plenty of wildlife to see. A group of porpoises kept us company throughout our stay. Thanks for hosting us

This was absolutely the perfect spot for our short trip to Juneau. Right on the water, extremely clean, comfortable and private. 10 minutes from town and the airport. Ela left a treasure trove of restaurant reviews and other local lore. Ela herself is a delight. Possibly my best travel experience. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Communication was quick, checkin was a breeze and Ella was wonderful. We arrived in the afternoon but left to visit friends. Upon turning in for the night the place was warmly lit, and nice oversized furniture welcomed us. The bed was amazing, I know. I can’t believe I’m writing about the king size bed but we slept great. Al waking up the next morning we finally saw the view of the ocean literally right outside the bedroom and living room window. Everything was perfect. Clean, comfortable and quiet. We can’t wait to visit Juneau again, and will book around her availability!

We could not have been more pleased to have chosen this spot for our week in the Juneau area. The evening we arrived, the sun. peeked out, we climbed in the kayaks out in front of the house, and we paddled around with porpoises, rainbows, and gorgeous mountain views. WOW. This place has everything you need and more - and in my opinion, the reason to come to Juneau is not the downtown, it's the gorgeous natural areas. So why not stay right in the heart of one? We are so glad we did!

Best Vacation Ever
Ela has truly thought of everything when furnishing this apartment. If we needed anything, she quickly provided (nutcrackers, for instance!). We hadn't seen our daughter in 19 months and having this lovely space to entertain her and visit with her friends was outstanding. Otter's Hideaway will always be our first choice when we visit Juneau. We look forward to staying with Ela and Mel again and again!

Ela we so enjoyed every minute of our visit. The views, flowers, berries, our time visiting with you, our walks along the waters edge and out to the island, and everything we would need or want inside the house was perfect. All of your suggestions on trails and places to visit were just perfect. We have returned home with beautiful pictures and memories of our time in Juneau. Thank you for sharing your home. You're the Best!!
