- "I have to say that staying on a yacht in Alaska is something everyone should do. What a beautiful boat in beautiful surroundings. I was worried the four of us would be crowded, but there was so much room. We loved hanging out outside and inside. We cooked breakfast, grilled burgers and relaxed to watch movies at night. Such a fun stay and Russell was always available and really accommodating." - "From booking this was a seamless journey. The owner, helped us navigate our first time in Ketchikan from start to finish. We have never felt so relaxed! The accommodations felt like home, and that doesn't ever happen. So many beautiful memories made. It was truly magical. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!!"

You'll have access to shared amenities including bathrooms, showers, hot tubs, saunas, and a cold plunge—just steps from your tent.

Perfect for nature lovers looking to relax and enjoy the Alaskan wilderness in comfort.

- "As someone who does not camp, glamp, or RV as a part of their vacations, I was pleasantly surprised by this experience. I honestly had booked this glamping experience because other than the hostel it was the cheapest option when we were planning the Seward leg of our Alaskan adventure. The campsite has a great lay out and we loved seeing all the different tent/cabin styles. I had gotten nervous reading some of the earlier reviews on Google with people reporting the toilets weren’t good and the quarry was loud. I’m happy to report the toilets flushed, the shower water was hot, and the bed was very comfortable. We used the sauna which was very nice and saw others who had built fires/used the hot tubes. The night we stayed was chilly so we used the gas heater while we’re were awake but turned it off to sleep (because I’m narcotic). The heater heated up the tent really quickly and it was a very comfortable stay. If we were to ever return to Seward, I would stay here again! "
