It was spacious, clean and welcoming. The bed was super comfortable and the extras like snacks, coffee etc was a really nice touch. The host was responsive and helpful during my stay. It was very easy to get a taxi to and from the airport. I will definitely book again. ##### Otis F.

Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jonathan N. 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great over night stay Very clean property, check in and out was easy however the listing stated a grill and a hot tub, the grill was not located by the unit and after getting a return message the next morning we were alerted that the grill was on the upper deck next to the private property sign on the stairs. Spent a lot of money at grocery store to grill out and was not able to. ##### Jonathan N. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt L. 1 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Blown away! 10/10 We were in town for a family friends funeral. We thought we'd minimize the hassle by renting a place instead of staying with them. When we booked the stay, we were honestly only expecting a couple bed cots, but the place had a full kitchen, living room area, bathroom with immediate hot water and a very large/comfortable bed. The snacks were a very nice touch. I'd recommend anybody to stay there, especially considering how kind the host was when we had to make sure we found the correct place. 10/10 ##### Matt L. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharity M 16 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication When we arrived at The Grotto check-in was easy. Tana had contacted me days ahead of our arrival with all the check-in information as well as local information. The apartment was just what we needed for our stay in King Salmon/Katmai National Park. The apartment was clean, there was plenty of sleeping space, and we made us of the kitchen to cook some meals. Everything was easy to find in the apartment such as pots and pans, utensils, coffee pot, etc. Tana even has an iPhone that can be used during the stay because cell phone reception with anything but the local Alaskan carrier doesn’t work. I would stay in The Grotto again if I were ever to return to King Salmon.

Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Patricia 29 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Overall the physical property was exactly as specified. The rooms were clean as were the linens and towels. What reduced my review were the following: 1) There was a great deal of noise above us, hammering, child noises and what sounded like moving furniture. 2) We were asked to leave the property "cleaner than we found it." That wasn't hard when it came to the dishes; one glass was cracked, all others were dirty as were the plates and the coffee pot. We ended up washing everything except any of the plates which we did not use. 3) There was no drain stopper to properly fill the sink and wash the dishes. We plugged the drain with paper towels to wash the dishes. 4) The couch was terribly uncomfortable. I cannot imagine if we had needed to unfold the hide-a-bed. 5) The sign for Bristol Bay was covered by bushes and only after driving by 3 times did we find it. A "Grotto" sign might have helped us. ##### Patricia Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jimael J. 6 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not quite as described Chose this apartment as an alternative to more commercial lodging nearby on my way to Katmai for a backpacking adventure. The listing included a hot tub which was a key factor in choosing the location, but upon arrival and fruitless searching for the hottub, was told there is not one and there was a listing error. We were invited to use the family sauna in the main house area but that was not a great option for us. The apartment is also located under the main home where a large family lives, so the room was not quiet until all kids went to bed. I believe this was alluded to in the listing, but it cannot be overstated that this is not a quiet room. Finally, the ceiling fan in the bedroom did not work and it was quite hot in the room with no window and no air movement. Would likely choose another option for a future trip. I meant to post this much sooner but internet connectivity is very limited in the region And I didn’t have an opportunity at the time, and am just now recalling I hadn’t yet posted. ##### Jimael J.
