Clean, bright, centrally located near most visitor attractions, Thomas Street Vacation Rental and Studio is in the heart of Ketchikan's Historical District.

Description

Three units to choose from. The one-bedroom apartment is complete and private with its own outfitted kitchen, one bathroom with shower, queen-size bed, Day Bed in the living room with a trundle, television with basic cable, wireless internet, and private telephone. Lots of windows and the two skylights keep this unit bright and cheery. Uniquely situated on pilings and a boat harbor, this unit is a 1983 addition to a cottage type house built early in the century located in the Thomas-Stedman neighborhood and is on the National Register of Historic Places.  Most guests are able to access the internet from the apartment.  If there is a problem, you can make arrangements with the owners to use the office.

The second unit, or studio B&B room, is perfect for up to four guests.  The studio has a queen bed, a twin bed and a European-style fold out twin bed with a semi-private keyed entrance through the home office (street-level access, no stairs to climb).  The kitchenette is equipped with a microwave, dorm-sized refrigerator, hot plate, toaster and utensils, plus a regular sized refrigerator.  There is a private full bathroom with tub/shower combination. You have wireless internet access in the studio.

The 3-bedroom house offers a fully outfitted kitchen with a dining table that seats four, shared washer and dryer, comfortable living room with a piano and half-bath downstairs.  The three bedrooms are upstairs.  The master bedroom has a queen bed and the other two bedrooms have a full bed and a twin bed.  There is a full bathroom with a Japanese soaking tub with shower.  The hosts ask that you do not wear shoes upstairs.  Pets are allowed with prior approval in the downstairs only and will need to be kept in a kennel at night or when you are not at the house. 

For larger groups or families, you can combine the house and the studio apartment.  This will give you another large bedroom with a queen bed and two twin beds, plus another full bathroom and dining area downstairs. 

Office Space: An outfitted office is located adjacent to the Studio, complete with two PC computers, Internet access, two shared phone lines, printer/copier, fax, etc. The office space is available to rent by the day, week or month.
