About this property

THE SHACK, Views of beautiful Auke Bay Harbor a Quarter Mile Away. CBJ1000258

The Shack is a recently remodled wash house from the original homestead. It sits next to the main house back in the woods with views of beautiful Auke Bay Harbor.
The Shack is close to hiking, University of Southeast, and city bus lines.
The original homestead was and is a school bus yard. Nights and weekends are very quiet, school days are busy (I have lived on site with my wife 2 kids, dog and chickens for the past 18 years), but only for a few hours a day. In the end most people are not here to stay indoors.

This location worked great for me. I loved looking out the side window at the forest. If there was noise it wasn’t noticeable to me. I needed a place to stay while my group was out fishing and it fit the bill perfectly. Thanks K for making everything so easy. If I’m back your way I will definitely stay again.

The challenge is that it’s located to the school bus storage lot, so lots of noise of buses backing up with that beep beep beep sound. Also, a blow dryer in the bathroom would have been a nice amenity.

Fantastic Stay

Great little property. We rented a car for our stay but didn’t have to drive far. Everything we wanted to do was close by. We were blessed with awesome weather. Place was clean, Wi-Fi worked great, bed was comfy! Loved our stay in the Shack.

Celebration getaway

My daughter and I really enjoyed the stay. It was the right size for the two of us. Check in was very easy and simple. We saw the owners outside their house and chatted briefly. It’s out of the way and very quiet. Will certainly consider a stay again.

Long weekend stay

It was kind of hard to find the location of the place. It did sound like there was some kind of animal running around inside or outside under the house during the night. Overall we liked the shack, and would stay there again.
