Thimbleberry Bay House

With an open concept and rustic finishes, the Thimbleberry Bay House is the ideal getaway for all visitors. This waterfront property, which sits on 4 acres, is surrounded by Sitka spruce trees, a favorite landing spot for bald eagles. Several trails lead down to the home’s private beach, where guests can launch one of the kayaks included with their stay. The hot tub, which offers idyllic views of Thimbleberry Bay, is the perfect spot to take in Alaska while enjoying a glass of champagne. The house can accommodate up to 9 guests in its 2 bedrooms and loft. This home offers a large dining room table that is great for social gatherings and large family-style meals. The master bedroom, which houses a convertible king bed, connects to an en suite bathroom and includes a daybed perfect for cozying up with a good book. In addition to a fully equipped kitchen, a large barbecue is located on a covered porch off the main entry. Rain or shine, guests can grill up some of their favorite dishes while watching the whales and sea lions that frequent Thimbleberry Bay. With panoramic views, a private beach, and the small details are taken care of, this private cabin in the woods captures the allure of the Alaska wilderness with all the comforts of home.

  Julia W from Oceanside, California recommends this vacation rental

  We loved the location and the was a little hard for us coming from the south and not having window covers for the early light, but it was worth it for the view. I also didn't understand from the photos that the loft room had the two larger beds and the room upstairs with a door had the 2 smaller beds...this could've just been me :-). We also were confused about what cans to use in the kitchen for recycling ...

  Amazing, beautiful, and peaceful location! We came for a Father/Son fishing excursion for King Salmon and this location put the trip over the top! Located in a beautiful Bay(where we were picked up for our excursion) with great amenities. Boys loved the kayaking, hot tub and fire pit.

  I rented the house for a week of rest, relaxation and adventure with a group of women. This house was perfect for so many reasons.
  
  The location and privacy are dreamy and hard to beat. Nestled in the forrest with walking access to the water is very special. The interior features big picture windows, a spacious and well equipped kitchen and the most beautiful art throughout.
  The Sitka Travel Team was outstanding providing easy communication, prompt replies and willingness to accommodate us.
  I cant wait to stay here again!

  Our family needed a getaway after a family loss in the winter, and this was exactly what we needed. We are a family of five with three young daughters, but during our two week stay we were joined by a Grandma and my sister's family of five for a week of that. It was a perfect home to hold us all while we basked in the glory of Sitka. We kayaked, explored the private beach, made s'mores and went into the hot tub every day. The property manager was extremely professional and communicate, as always (this is our third time using Sitka Travel!) and the home was clean, equipped with every thing we needed. We will remember this trip forever and are already looking forward to making a return trip to Sitka from Indianapolis in the summer of 2025.

  Christopher P from Alpine , California recommends this vacation rental

  Absolutely wonderful, we could not have asked for anything else. The house was beyond beautiful. If I had anything challenging to say was that most of the sleeping area was upstairs ..... where there isn’t a bathroom. That is only a potential problem because we had 3 small children who had to navigate the stairs at night. Other than that perfect. Private dock to fish / paddle board / kayak. Will return!

  Staying at the Thimbleberry Bay House was a fantastic experience. It delivered all the description had to offer and more. Tastefully decorated with beautiful art and furniture. Non-traditional makeup of beds throughout, but this was perfect for our group. We were able to easily access the town of Sitka but enjoyed the secluded feel of the property. Unbeatable water access.

  An absolutely magical stay in the Thimbleberry Bay House. Incredible location, comfortable in all ways... we enjoyed the kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, strolling through the wood, and collecting berries. We jumped in the ocean off the dock and it was chilling, but perfect! Private, but not too far from town. Amazing hosts, we couldn't have been happier. Mahalos!

  Thimbleberry Bay House was a great home base from which to explore Sitka. A rental car was a must as it's a few miles from the main core of Sitka, but it was so worth it! The house has an amazing view of the bay from every room! We could just sit and watch the eagles soar!! They offer a hot tub and kayaks as well. It was clean and comfortable and well stocked.

  Even better than the photos, well equipped and managed. Buy a little extra coffee because it’s tough to tear yourself away from the views of the bay in the morning.
