New, opened April 2023, water view, eagle view, covered deck.

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.
