"The hotel is definitely antiquated, but honestly, that’s part of the appeal. As one of Alaska’s most famous haunted hotels, the old-fashioned décor and historic feel really transport you back in time. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, the Wi-Fi worked well, and we appreciated having nice fans in the room. There were also beverages available in the lobby, which was a nice touch.
The staff was wonderful. They were friendly, helpful, and proactive, sending us lots of suggestions for things to do in the area and checking in to see if we needed anything. The location couldn’t have been much better. We were within walking distance of great restaurants, the harbor, the Alaska SeaLife Center, the library, and even a laundromat. Free parking was easy to find, along with street parking. For the price we thought it was a good value.
A few things to know before you book: there are no blackout curtains, and with Alaska’s summer daylight, it was never dark in the room. If you’re sensitive to light when sleeping, plan accordingly. The shower was also a little underwhelming, with low water pressure and only lukewarm water. If you’re looking for lots of hotel amenities, this might not be the place for you. It’s a simple historic hotel with plenty of character but not a lot of extras.
Is it haunted? Maybe! We didn’t experience anything spooky or creepy…thankfully. We just enjoyed staying in a unique piece of Alaska’s past."
"A true gem! The location was absolutely beautiful, and the cabin was charming, cozy, and well-appointed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we enjoyed spending time around the fire pit each evening. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway."
Ellsworth Glacier View Cabin #3 Remote Ocean Front Cabin
10/10 Excellent
"This is definitely a remote, quiet place. Whales/ otters, sea lions in the bay every day. The terrain is a little wet and slippery. Owners are absolutely amazing! You can only get to this place by boat so you will need a water taxi. We choose to do a fishing trip with Blue Ice charter when we were done fishing they drop us off at the cabin. Then the owners will be taking us back. If you love remote you will love it here."
"Staying at Pepper Creek was the highlight of our trip on Alaska. Cabin super cozy and even a little nicer than the pictures. Few minor things that we let the host know about that could be improvements, but that’s with anywhere you stay. Location is incredible."
