Located on the mountainside, facing the ocean and Mt. Edgecumbe Volcano, Old Sitka Rocks Suite is a lower level 1 bedroom apartment, perfect for a couple and one additional person. Newly renovated in Spring of 2007, it features all the expected amenities of a vacation home, including comfort and accessibility to shopping as well as our many historical and natural sites of interest. The “Old Sitka Rocks”, are right below the apartment and provides for one of the most picturesque and photographed views in all of Sitka. The “Old Sitka Rocks” actually are seven small islands that are a magnet for bird life and marine mammals. Just stepping out your door, it is a rare time that Bald Eagles are not soaring overhead, perched in the tall Sitka Spruce, or swooping low over the water in search of a meal. The Pelagic Cormorant and a variety of waterfowl and gulls are seen on “the rocks” almost continuously. Marine mammals that frequent the rocks area include Humpback Whales, Sea Lions, and Sea Otters. The local commercial fishing boats either pass by or fish the area daily. Our “Old Sitka Rocks” suite is located 1.7 miles from the Ferry Terminal and the spectacular Starrigavan recreation area, including some of the best short hikes in Sitka. Also less than a mile South is the Halibut Point Recreation Beach, and the Harbor Mountain Road with it’s spectacular views and trails. Downtown is 7 minutes away. The apartment has a separate entrance and is located in the home of long time Alaskans who spent 25 years in the Alaskan Bush. The owners “bush” years included teaching in the Eskimo villages of Western Alaska along the Bering Sea and Kuskokwim River. They love to share stories with those who have interest in remote Alaska, Native culture, and the great out-door experiences of Alaska. Your view from the kitchen window! |
