Suite Rock – Unique One-Bedroom Apartment in Juneau's Auke Bay Area
Suite Rock offers travelers an opportunity to experience Juneau from a very different perspective. This spacious second-floor one-bedroom apartment combines comfortable vacation accommodations with the custom stonework and artwork of owner Johney Engle.
Rather than a conventional rental, the property reflects Johney's long history as a stone craftsman and artist. Custom granite, rock installations, and three-dimensional artwork are incorporated throughout the property, creating a memorable setting for your Alaska visit.
The Apartment
Guests have private use of the one-bedroom apartment, including:
* King-sized bed
* Private exterior entrance
* Comfortable living room
* Sofa and additional seating
* Granite coffee table
* Full kitchen
* Bar-height kitchen seating
* ¾ bathroom with custom stone finishes
* Washer and dryer
* Off-street parking
The kitchen includes an oven/stove, refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster oven, crock pot, and other useful cooking supplies.
The apartment is on the second level, so guests will need to climb one set of stairs to reach the entrance. Once inside, the apartment is all on one level.
A Property Built Around Art
Owner Johney Engle has spent decades working with natural stone and incorporating it into functional designs and artwork. His craftsmanship can be seen throughout Suite Rock, including custom granite details and three-dimensional assemblage-style pieces.
Self-portraiture by the late Skylar Engle is also displayed throughout the property, adding another artistic dimension to the guest experience.
Johney lives and works on the property and may be available to offer local recommendations. Guests can interact as much or as little as they prefer.
Location
Suite Rock is located in Juneau's Auke Bay / Back Loop area, close to:
* Auke Bay
* Auke Lake
* Tongass National Forest
* Mendenhall Glacier
* Statter Harbor
* Local trails
* Fishing areas
Statter Harbor is approximately a mile away and provides access to seasonal excursions including whale watching and kayaking.
The property is well suited for guests who plan to spend time outdoors and want a residential location closer to Auke Bay and the Mendenhall area.
Please note that Suite Rock is not located downtown. Downtown Juneau is substantially farther away, so guests looking for a walkable downtown nightlife and cruise-ship-dock experience should consider a downtown property instead.
