The Tongass Treehouse is a scenic getaway sitting about a hundred feet up in the lush rainforest canopy with the ocean in your front yard. Start your day with coffee while listening to eagles and whale watching from bed, the reading nook, living room or the deck, then enjoy Juneau's best offerings - like remote glacier hikes or local shopping - all less than 15 minutes away, then return to luxurious comforts to relaxat home and watch the sunset as flying squirrels and eagles play next to the deck, and orcas feed just feed from the shore.

This is our home, we rent it out when we do work travel. The Orcaview Cabin is the two main stories of the house. The Orcaview Cabin is completely separate from the lower studio, which we call the Otter Den (it’s entrance is one story below as well). Both units have access to laundry in our utility room through a door outside. We have never heard our neighbors, and they're mostly not visible, being far away through the trees.

Please note this house is on a steep hillside and requires being comfortable with a few stories of stairs to access the unit (we ask everyone if they're okay with stairs before accepting a booking). We are in the forests of Alaska, so wildlife and occasional bugs are a fact of life.

This is not a dedicated rental (it's our home), we do not have children and our home is not child-proofed, so if you have young children be aware.

We do have cats that live in the home part-time - our allergen mitigation includes limited access to some rooms, vacuuming daily with a HEPA filtered vacuum, having a BlueAir 121 HEPA filter in the main open space and a Winix C545 HEPA filter that can be used in the one bedroom the cats are allowed. We have had a number of guests with severe cat allergies stay and tell us they had no symptoms, but it is something to be aware of.

If you have any questions, please let us know! We are also happy to help our guests plan their adventures.

    We stayed at the treehouse in June, 2025. It is a fantastic place & we would definitely come back. The house is well appointed & very comfortable. The views & surrounding grounds are outstanding. The hosts are great communicators & are very kind.

    My Husband and I were visiting our son who works seasonally in Alaska...We wanted a very special place to spend time together. We sure made the best decision booking the Tongass Treehouse!!! The location, the accommodations, the VIEW!! All Fantastic! Every detail very thought out, with respect to Alaska visiting guidance, best set up kitchen with every need met, Cozy and comfortable beds, bedding, blankets, slippers, etc. The most amazing book, game and puzzle selection! So clean, beautiful and welcoming. We truly hope to rebook for next year. Thank you to Clay for the amazing communication and great tips. We had an amazing and memorable stay! Mahalo!!!!

    Our family loved our stay at the “treehouse”. The setting is unique and the view of the surrounding water is amazing. Clay was a helpful and responsive host. The house was extremely well equipped, having everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

    We had a great time staying at Clay’s property. The view from the bedroom and balcony were amazing. House was great! It was suppose to rain the whole week we were there but never did. It was nice and sunny. From the balcony we were able to see whales, fish, and eagles flying around. When we traveled into town, there were baby bear cubs next to the road eating. Never saw mama but I’m sure she wasn’t far away. If we had any questions, clay was very quick to respond. Thank you Clay for everything! We had a great time. We will definitely stay there again!

    The view from the deck was amazing! We loved being out the road away from the cruise ships and touristy things. This allowed us to interact with the locals and connect with the community and nature. We saw so much wildlife from the deck and enjoyed the sounds of waves, birds, seals and whales. The house was well decorated and supplied with everything we needed to enjoy a week as a family of 6. This was by far the best rental situation we've ever experienced. If you are headed to Juneau, this place has to be on your list to stay at.
