About this apartment rental

The Bear Den is nestled high amongst the evergreen trees where the bald eagles and Ravens fly and the deer and occasional black bears roam. You will have an ocean view from the private covered deck, the living space as well as when you are relaxing on the luxurious king size bed.

If you feel like cooking, use the fully equipped kitchen or the BBQ on the deck with outside seating. Don’t want to cook on vacation? The Bear Den is walking distance to several restaurants, a grocery store and the downtown district which includes historical Creek Street. We have both a local brewery as well as a distillery.

Ketchikan is one of the busiest float planes sites in the world. It is wonderful to look out the window as they are taking off and landing.


The Rain Bird hiking trail is a five minute walk away and for a challenge, the Deer Mountain trailhead is only a five minute drive.

Ketchikan has many opportunities for visitors to experience Alaska. Fishing charters, whale watching, kayaking, ATVs and a logging show are just a few of the options. You can also walk to the Totem Heritage Museum, The Ketchikan Historical museum or the Southeast Discovery Center.

The Bear Den is located on the lower level of our multi-level cliff side home overlooking the Tongass Narrows. It has it’s own private set of stairs on the right side as you walk down the driveway. Parking is available at street level, just look for the “Bear Den” sign.

We have a swing set, basketball hoop and trampoline and outdoor fire pit which you are welcome to use.

This was a perfect cozy, bear den tucked away amongst the trees with views of the ocean, mountains, and bald eagles.The property was impeccably clean, had everything you needed in the kitchen and bathroom. The master bed was super super soft. My daughter called it the whip cream bed because of how soft it was and the fluffy comforter that was on it. It was wonderful to have a fridge and freezer, stove, oven, and microwave. There was also a coffee maker, but we did not use it. The bedroom had a dresser and closet for your belongings and suitcases. The picture window offered a magnificent view of the bald eagles, mountains, and ocean.We were visiting my son who was working at Cedars Lodge. The property is close enough to Elliott Street stairs. So we took those a few times to get to Cedars Lodge. The property owners were very kind and fun to talk to. They invited us to join in their Independence Day festivities. We had plans to join the Cedars Lodge staff, but it was such a kind offer. I would love to stay here again.

This is a special space! Perfect size for one or two people. My favorite part was the picture window in front of a little sofa, where you could sit and watch the water, the ships cruising by, float planes taking off, and even eagles flying by! Great location too! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Bear Den.
