About this property

THE SHACK, Views of beautiful Auke Bay Harbor a Quarter Mile Away. CBJ1000258

  • The Shack is a recently remodled wash house from the original homestead. It sits next to the main house back in the woods with views of beautiful Auke Bay Harbor.
    The Shack is close to hiking, University of Southeast, and city bus lines.
    The original homestead was and is a school bus yard. Nights and weekends are very quiet, school days are busy (I have lived on site with my wife 2 kids, dog and chickens for the past 18 years), but only for a few hours a day. In the end most people are not here to stay indoors.

This location worked great for me. I loved looking out the side window at the forest. If there was noise it wasn’t noticeable to me. I needed a place to stay while my group was out fishing and it fit the bill perfectly. Thanks K for making everything so easy. If I’m back your way I will definitely stay again.

Celebration getaway

My daughter and I really enjoyed the stay. It was the right size for the two of us. Check in was very easy and simple. We saw the owners outside their house and chatted briefly. It’s out of the way and very quiet. Will certainly consider a stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

Unacceptable

The listing was technically correct, but didn't truly represent the the place. The "view to beautiful Auke Harbor" was across an industrial area and school bus depot. Several of electrical outlets and switches had no cover plates. The "kitchen" was woefully inadequate. The curtains were "hemmed" with safety pins and binder clips. The towel rack fell off the wall. We left after the first night and advised the host accordingly. To the host's credit, at our request, we were refunded our payment for the remainder of our reservation.

Everything was clean, the bed well appointed and quite comfortable. The scenery from the bed was to die for! The property is‘s slight quirky with a ton of character and we were 110% happy there was a friendly dog outside well trained, a friendly chicken. It was a pet and Kevin took excellent care of us. He provided coffee too! some coffee for the room. There was a lovely comfortable chair to sit in. Being modern TV with ability to use Roku and stream your own Netflix. While Kevin is a little ways outside of town proper, he is also right on one of the harbors so the ability to just stroll down to the water was amazing. He went above and beyond and helping us arrange some things, and proved to be quite a knowledgeable and charming asset. I had not planned Juno very well, but it worked out great!

The challenge is that it’s located to the school bus storage lot, so lots of noise of buses backing up with that beep beep beep sound. Also, a blow dryer in the bathroom would have been a nice amenity.
