About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

New, water view, eagle view, deer and sometime black bear, cover deck and BBQ.

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.

Little surprised
The property was very nice. It was very clean and very up to date. Even though they live on the premises I can only assume that the hosts felt that they did not want to impose upon our privacy. They never introduced themselves. I couldn't tell you what they look like. Never checked in on us to see how we were enjoying their place. I don't need to be babysitted but I just found it a little unusual compared to all the other informative and friendly hosts that we have stayed with on the numerous times we have visited Ketchikan.

Great Little Place
A nice place at the top of the hill on Water Street/2nd Ave. Small efficiency nestled in the woods, very comfortable, excellent facilities with stove, oven, and refrigerator for cooking our own meals. Nice walk down the hill to town for shopping and dinner. Very Good Parking!! With the cramped Ketchikan parking conditions this property has Excellent parking, we never had a problem.

Cute 1 bedroom
We loved the location to the Gateway Aquatic Center. Very nice accommodations & a comfortable stay overall. The only thing I would nit-pick is that the cupboard with the glasses & coffee cups had a layer of something powdery under them.

Bear Den Perfection
We very much enjoyed our stay. Accommodations were just as described, and we loved having a deck from which to enjoy our breakfast or the lovely sunset. It was perfectly private, and completely comfortable. Our hosts were super responsive communicators; my questions were typically answered within an hour. I also appreciated the generosity they extended by allowing us to store our luggage at the beginning and end of our stay. I would definitely go back to the Bears Den the next time I go to Ketchikan.

Family trip to Ketchikan
This was a great play to stay and we highly recommend! We loved sitting out on the deck and enjoying the nature. We even saw a black bear below the deck and tons of eagles! The owners were so helpful and very accommodating during our stay. Will definitely try to stay there again if we get the chance to come back. Thank you so much!!

Perfect Alaskan getaway’
This is the 2nd time I’ve stayed at this property and again it was perfect! We were in town to do some fishing and this was the best location for everything we needed and wanted to do. Close to shopping, dining and boat docks. Will definitely stay again on the next trip.

Week in Ketchikan
The Bears Den was great. It was set up very well and the owners were a pleasure to work with. Everything was exactly as posted. We saw eagles and deer from the deck as well (sadly no bears!). We stayed for three nights and wish it had been more. We definitely look forward to coming back!
