Historic Thompson House

The historical characteristics are profound. Close to everything in Valdez.

The house was large enough for all of our needs. The owner was very responsive and wonderful. The house was beautiful and well taken care of!

Interesting home, with a ton of personality. Owners were super nice and extremely accommodating. Will definately be sataying again.

What a unique property! We enjoyed looking at the features and knick knacks of everything. Great location and wonderful host!

The house was clean and interesting in its history. 5 beds plus a futon. The bed in the widows walk tower was certainly interesting. Close to grocery shopping and the ice cream shop. We enjoyed our stay immensely!

Convenient location. House clean and comfortable.

To be honest I didn’t read descriptions before booking. it turned out to be a great surprise haha.Communication with Molly was great except I didn’t get cell signal without wifi to let her know we checked out. My other friends were having wild thoughts after seeing the doll in the main room haha (they watched too much horror movies) so I got to sleep in the queen bed myself and they all stayed in the attic. We all enjoyed the sauna! I will recommend this place!

Very old but clean. Very narrow stairs to bedrooms . Had everything we needed. Nice location to our activities. Upstairs bedrooms not built for tall people. Owner very responsive and pleasant.

We’re a family of 6 with 4 teenage boys winding our way through AK for the first time. Valdez is our midway point and the historic house was perfect. It is quirky and quaint which adds appeal. We loved that we had a kitchen and space to spread out. The washer and dryer were put to great use and being able to walk everywhere was perfect! We rented bikes from the Fat Mermaid and tried out ice cream from a couple of the stands. Walking to Safeway was helpful in making meals and we just enjoyed being out and about and a couple of rest days in between a fishing charter. I highly recommend utilizing this house - the space and location is great!

We picked this location and house for its distance to friends at campgrounds, stores and the harbor for boat access. The house has a unique outside and especially inside configuration. The room and bed layout is sort of a open design and the kitchen has a narrow working space but once you work this out with people staying with you, it was fine. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and stove, oven and microwave and other cooking provisions and there were plenty of blankets and linen supplies to make this stay more convenient. The heating system was easy to operate. Boot dryers were an additional bonus and were used every day, since it rained almost every day, heavily at times. Molly, the owner, was a great person to communicate with and when we needed more light in the porch area, she bought some very nice utility lights to help us use the porch We also used the propane barbecue outside! Overall, it suits our needs quite nice and we have reserved the house for future trips.

Communication was great, clean and comfortable. Thank you!

The house itself is just fun with eclectic architectural elements and decorations that speak to the history of the house and the Valdez area. Rain or sun the scenery is incredible. It was perfect for our first experience in Valdez. On the practical side, you are across the street from the grocery store and a healthy walk down to the water front. I'm 67, and you need good knees to get up the stairs. I did fine, but your downstairs option is a futon. The upstairs bed is very comfortable. The sauna was a treat. We'd never used a private one and now consider it a plus in a rental. Be careful of the top door lock on the outside. The house was a good match for the two of us. Enjoy.

4th year staying here, always clean and easy arrangements. So nice being near Safeway and dog park plus easy to go out fishing.

House was as expected, host was great, great trip.
