Great winter escape!
You couldn’t ask for a more idyllic Alaska winter getaway. Right on the beach and nestled in the most scenic part of Auke Bay. Looking out at Lynn Canal from the comfort of the cottage with a warm drink in the morning, a fine evening beverage and a good book and a walk on the beach in between was the perfect day. Cheers!
