Gorgeous relaxing view
This cozy cabin provides the ultimate Sitka view! It’s a perfect size for two couples. Even with dreary weather during our visit we were able to enjoy the tide pools in the backyard and sip coffee watching the boats cruise in front of Mt. Edgecumbe. The hosts were very accommodating and the cabin was clean and equipped for our arrival. Hope to stay at Raven’s Roost again!

Absolutely beautiful cabin, location, and view!!!! We loved it! Wish we had better weather during our stay and most restaurants/activities were closed, but we did go to Alaska in March. Thankfully we had an awesome cabin with views to look at!

Had a fabulous time on our second visit to Sitka. Raven’s Roost is just as described and in the pictures. Fantastic location on the water side of the road, close to town, close to estuary for bear-watching, close to grocery store, and perfect deck and indoor area to drink wine and watch the sunsets. Sea kayaking, looking for bears, Alaska day festivities, tons of halibut and chips.

Beautiful accommodation and views
4 adults stayed here for 3 nights before our Alaska Dream Cruise. The accommodation was great and the decks for viewing. We also loved the fire pit. Getting into town is 3.4 miles. Bus system only runs Mon-Fri. We were lucky that our cruise onshore support gave us a couple of lifts and a local neighbour. Overall we highly recommend this accommodation.

Perfect Spot for Relaxation
I'm always nervous when I book a VRBO - you hope it will be half as good as the photos and reviews say it is!! Well, Raven's Roost was even better than we expected! Katy was so kind in keeping us updated of our check in time and made check in super easy! The highlights of the home are the gorgeous views with sliding glass door you can open and listen to the ocean, even when it's raining (and be prepared, it can rain A LOT in Sitka). We had eagles roosting in the trees beside the balcony and loved hearing them "talking" to each other! We did see a couple of sea lion heads out in the water but with all the rain, we weren't able to stay out on the balcony to look for whales. But having left Texas with 110 degree weather, having to look through the sliding glass doors at rain and 54 degrees was heaven! We loved having a washer and dryer; loved that there were 2 separate bedroom and bathroom areas. Be aware that the secondary bedroom upstairs is a loft with steep stairs (we were aware before hand and it was not a problem!). The kitchen was extremely well stocked - even with items like flour, sugar, coffee, oatmeal, spices. And the refrigerator had a great assortment of condiments. We cooked almost all meals (3 meals a day for 3 days) and it was fabulous. There is a propane grill on the balcony. There isn't a dishwasher but that wasn't a problem either. Actually I can't even think of a problem the entire time we were there!

Great Cabin in a Great Location
All of the decks have spectacular views. The view from the downstairs bed is just amazing to wake up to. Cabin is clean and has all of the needed amenities. Kitchen is well stocked and we cooked several really good meals. Location is perfect, just far enough out of town to get isolation but not too far. Grocery is close. There is a downstairs renter below that is not mentioned in the property description but that was absolutely not a problem at all. Property worked great for us and I would rent it again

Dream Come True
I cannont say enough good things about Raven's Roost! This was probably the absolute best place we've stayed through VRBO! It was such a nice place, the pictures don't even show how beautiful the views and other awesome qualities of this place actually were. We've been home a few days now and are already thinking about how and when we can get back to Jack & Katy's house and beautiful Sitka! Everything we needed was there, the guys fished off the rocks at the back of the house (caught a bunch too), we had a campfire at least 2 nights while watching an amazing sunset and woke up to eagles screeching at each other in the mornings. A beautiful and relaxing time. We highly recommend this place!

Sweet!
Katy and Jack's place is a sweet place to stay if you travel to Sitka. It was clean and well equipped and the hosts were friendly and communicative. The 'stairs' to the upstairs bed and bath are very steep which could be a potential issue for some guests. Also be aware that there is a living unit below the rental. But we will stay here again if we are lucky enough to visit Sitka again in the future

Peaceful and relaxing home
The views from the main bedroom are stunning!! We loved lying in bed and watching the bald eagles sore past the corner windows. The tide pools right below the house are amazing as well! Very nice to be close to town, but outside of town. Quiet neighborhood. The only odd thing was that I didn't see where the listing clearly stated that you are not renting the entire structure. There is another apartment right below the house. It was fine - never heard the people there - but not what I was expecting when we booked. If you look really closely at the photos it is mentioned in one of them. That being said, we would definitely rent this property again if we ever go back to Sitka.

Our family came to Sitka to explore and experience Alaska. We had an amazing time! This rental is a really nice home in a great location! The views were amazing!

Alaska up close and personal!
Had a great week on the oceanfront in Sitka. Great views from the 3 decks. You feel like you are literally on the water. Wildlife in the form of sea lions, otters, and even a humpback whale were seen right out front. More than well equipped kitchen with items such as seasonings and misc. items on the shelves that will simplify your grocery run. Owners are really nice. Great setup for 2 couples or a family with a couple of children. My crew is already asking me to set things up for next year! Highly recommend.

Beautiful cabin inside and out. Our first visit to Sitka and Ravens Roost was a perfect place to stay. Katy and Jack are friendly and helpful hosts. Thank you! The cabin was very clean and well appointed. Loved all the cozy blankets. We loved everything about the cabin from the big windows, overhead heater fan in first floor bathroom(big one for me personally), to the balconies. Had a lot of fun exploring around the rocks during low tide. Had an otter come visit us while sitting by the fire pit. Left a basketball in the closet so future guests can take advantage of the basketball court in town. Make sure you visit Thimbleberry Lake(great place for eagle bathing/sunbathing) and the extra mile to Heart Lake(trailhead on Sawmill Creek Rd.). Overall our experience was positive in all ways staying at Ravens Roost! Thank you Katy and Jack!!!

Perfect Sitka location
We hate to leave this beautiful little house on the water. The location can’t be beat, nor can abuse. We enjoyed the fire pit, sitting on the deck and watching the water, and the mini Eagles and see why that came to visit along the way. The bedding is very comfortable, everything you need can be found in the kitchen, and the owners were very responsive to any question we had. We will come back to Sitka and we will stay here.

A perfect getaway!
Raven's Roost is the perfect spot for an alaskan getaway. The beauty of this location is incredible, directly on the ocean with incredible views from every room. The cabin was impeccably clean and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are perfect for 2 couples or a family. The steps leading up to the second bedroom are a little bit steep but caused us no problems. The owners allowed us an early check-in which was much appreciated. We stayed 5 nights and cooked halibut 3 of those nights in the well-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed dinners out at the Channel Club located right across the street and The Beak Restaurant in town. Both dinners were delicious and we highly recommend checking out both of them when visiting. We did not rent a car so used the local taxis and met "Hank" from Baranof Taxi. He was fantastic and always available for us when we called. We highly recommend staying at Raven's Roost when visiting Sitka. The location is perfection!
