We get a lot of inquiries from potential guests who tell us they have allergies. I believe that our place will meet your need. We built the Inn ourselves so we are confident that it is free of mold or other material that can cause problems. We clean all of the rooms ourselves and do not use cleaning supplies that have harsh chemicals, dyes, or perfumes in them. All of your suites have inside and outside entrances and our rooms have windows that open. We have never allowed smoking inside the Inn and I do not believe anyone has ever broken the rule. I should also mention that because we are on the ocean there is usually a fresh breeze and our guests always comment on how fresh the air is and how well they sleep. With prior approval, we do sometimes allow small pets in the Bunkhouse cabin. When we do, we have special rugs, towels, and bedding that is used and because the floors are tile we are able to make sure that no pet hair is left behind. Because our season is so short we unable to offer discounts in the summer. But you will always get the best deal when you call the Inn directly rather than going through a third party booker. And, sometimes when a guest is traveling alone and booking a longer stay we are able to give them a discount. If you have other question feel free to give me a call. Nicole 907-617-7567

When guests arrive after 9:00 PM and do not rent a car, we suggest that they take a cab to the Inn. We are only 2.3 miles North of the ferry landing and there are cabs waiting at the terminal when the boat arrives. The charge will be about $11.00. Your unit will be open and ready for your arrival. There will be a note on the front door of the INN telling you where your unit is located. Have you already booked your stay with us? If not you should do it soon, in order to be assured of a reservation. I am also happy to help you plan your time in Ketchikan and make sure your stay on our beautiful Island meets your expectations. You can book directly with us on our secure web site.
