Other things to note
Transportation

The yurts are located off of the road system and can only be accessed by a 30 minute boat from Knudson Cove Marina which is about 40 minutes by Taxi from Ketchikan. We will meet you at the marina and transport you out to the rental property in our 24ft cabin cruiser. And of course, take you back to the road at the end of your stay.

Food/Meals

Please note. This is a rental, not a lodge, or bed and breakfast. No meals are provided. Due to the remote off road location, guests will need to bring all food for all meals for the duration of their stay. This can be purchased in Ketchikan after arrival before coming out to the Marina. We recommend you shop at the Alaskan and Proud Grocery Store, which is a few minutes by Taxi from the Airport (or a short walk). Ketchikan also has a selection of good sporting stores if any additional fishing or hiking gear is needed.

We do provide all cooking pots, pans, utensils, and basics such as cooking oil, tea, coffee; sugar, salt.

Flight Arrival/Departure times.

Departure: We recommend departing from Ketchikan late morning/early afternoon and we will get you back to the road / Knudson Cove Marina by 09:00 hrs on the day of your departure. If you are on a later flight, you are free to enjoy the yurts a little longer and check out around 1.00pm.

Please note, due to the risk of occasional early morning fog, we cannot guarantee getting you back to the road in time for the very first flight out of Ketchikan. If you have no choice, and can only depart on the first flight we recommend that you stay in town the evening before your departure from Ketchikan. I.E: Guests will need to book an additional night at a hotel in Ketchikan after your stay with us.
