The charming, rustic house is sided with hand-split cedar shakes. Inside, it is spacious and sunny. The open plan downstairs allows for a pleasant flow of spaces. It has a fully equipped kitchen and a dining room with an amazing view.
A special feature of the house is that as well as the main house there is the attached annex with its light-filled sunroom. The main house and annex allow for separation for two parties or two families who are sharing the rental.
The two newly remodeled bathrooms in the house offer modern fixtures. There is one bathroom in the main house and one in the annex, affording privacy for two parties sharing the house. The main house bathroom offers both a shower and a tub. The annex bathroom provides a shower with built-in seat.

This is an Alaskan family house that is comfortable, spacious and well-heated, and offers all the amenities you need for an enjoyable stay.
The primary attraction of the house is its location on a private beach many think is the most beautiful in the Haines area.
You can fish from the beach in front of the house. If you bring your own sea kayak or rent one from a local company, you can launch from the beach and paddle down the peninsula to Chilkat Islands Marine Park.
Children enjoy the opportunity to play and run barefoot on the large lawn or sit on the grass. You can also sit in the comfortable chairs provided on the lawn and enjoy the view, or barbecue outdoors using the large Weber grill. Beyond the lawn on the beach you can sit around the campfire, toast marshmallows, and watch for the marine mammals that swim in to the bay - seals, sea lions, our resident otters, porpoise, and even whales.
Just over 6 miles from downtown Haines, Alaska, the Paradise Cove house is a five minute drive from the Chilkat State Park which has some of the best hiking trails in the area as well as a boat launch ramp.

This is a charming, rustic country house on the Mud Bay with stunning mountain/glacier/waterfall views, close to spectacular hikes and wildlife--eagles and bears right outside. The hosts are kind, friendly and very responsive if there are any little glitches. The house has a very well equipped kitchen compared to most vacation rentals, even an espresso maker(!) The layout of the house provides space for privacy and togetherness. We are return visitors and really appreciate this beautiful home away from home.
Plenty of room. Everything we needed. Beautiful spot!
Upon our arrival our mouths dropped open from the view! This was our third trip to Alaska and this view was by far the best. Words cannot describe it! The directions were spot on, and we didn't have any trouble locating the property. The owners were very easy to communicate with and very quick to reply, they checked in to make sure we had everything we needed via text. The beds were super comfortable, with plenty of extra pillows and blankets, we also had great water pressure in the showers. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need to make great meals at home. My husband bought a fishing pole in town and actually caught a small Halibut right on the rocky beach below the cabin. The drive to town was breathtaking and the people are the friendliest and most helpful. The saying is true, people come for the adventure and stay for the people. When they asked us where we were staying, we always received the same response, Nice! Halibut fish and chips at the Bamboo room and hamburgers at the 33 Mile Roadhouse were the best we've ever eaten. Bears in the early mornings at Chilkoot Lake was a treat and free! We also took a flight tour of Glacier Bay National Park with Mountain Flying Service, Paul the owner was fantastic, take the long tour, it's so worth it. We had a wonderful time, and I will have to break my own rule of not staying in the same place twice, for this I will happily make an exception, we will be back no doubt about it.

The hosts were great throughout the entire process. Property is clean and well maintained, both inside and out. Great place to relax. We used the property as a home base for daily excursions, returning to home every night. The view of Rainbow Glacier is awesome.
This house is perfect for anyone wanting a peaceful and relaxing stay in the Haines area. Watch bald eagles while sipping morning coffee. Enjoy the tranquility of the protected cove from the properties manicured lawn. Poke around the cottage style garden. View Rainbow glacier from one of the many picture windows. Space to sit and visit or play games in this vintage style country cottage.
A very well loved, homey country house in a strikingly beautiful setting, looking out on Mud Bay the mountains, and Rainbow Glacier—with a waterfall so powerful that even from far across the bay you can hear it from the yard. The house is perfectly situated close to hikes in the enchanted forests of beautiful Haines and a short drive from the town amenities(good local coffee roaster/organic grocer/local distillery/great pizza.) We appreciated the well stocked kitchen (not all VRBOs have all the necessary tools to make a good meal, and our host provided everything we needed.) Plus, we enjoyed the fresh organic greens from the garden. The bed was comfortable and the heating efficient. If you have to use the bathroom at night, be careful because the bathrooms are on the first floor and bedrooms are up steep flights of stairs. There is cool, authentic local roots music plus some vintage 60s/70’s sounds on cassette tape(!) that you can play on the working boom box. All in all, a perfect setting to just hang out and soak in the spectacular environment of Haines.
We had a wonderful time. This property is amazing. We will be back!!
The house has one of the best views that I’ve ever experienced. Glacier, mountains, otters, seals, porpoises and eagles could be seen every day. We quickly learned that a pair of eagles had their favorite trees to hang out in and would sometimes fly down in the beach in front of the house or just circle overhead. The house is older and would benefit from additional renovations/updated furniture, but the bathrooms are modern and the beds are comfortable. And the views and location are so worth sacrificing some modern comforts. The Alaska Marine Highway ferry was also a neat way to get to Haines from Juneau. Would highly recommend!
Was a lovely property Brought us back to the 60-70's! Beautiful views , quiet and plenty of space for 4 people. Yard was delightful when the sun was out.
For anyone seeking a very special place away from the business of the day-to-day, where each morning begins with a slightly different variation of wow, look outside - I can't believe how beautiful it is or how fortunate I am right now@ - you can't go past Cecily and Mark's comfy, cozy, idealistic Paradise Cove home on the shores of Mud Bay, Haines. The home itself has a more lived-in feel, but that doesn't mean uncared for or scrappy by any means. I'm more referring to a home that has the comforts and space you would need, but is homely, not overly-glamorized or modern. It's a house that's been shown some love. In fact, the small touches - from the telescope pointing toward the stars above, or the binoculars available to guests to watch the towering ice of the melting Rainbow Glacier directly across the bay transform into aa pair of constantly running waterfalls that dissect the tall craggy mountains, to the well-kept gardens, the green green grass and especially my favorite the hammock swinging between 2 tall trees with a view to die for - this place was heaven! It's just a quick 10-15min easy and scenic drive into town, so no problems there and instructions for finding the place and our arrival were easy so no hassle there. The hosts were wonderful people who checked in on us occasionally, but were never in our face... And the whole small town of Haines was friendly and free and unpretentious and picturesque in that way that you would expect Alaska to be. We booked for 10 days, which for 2 current LA-urbanites, I worried may be too long to handle in such a small, isolated town without going just a little stir crazy. But as the days drew to a close, we knew if circumstances allowed, we could have stayed another month happily without getting bored by any of it. We saw so many bears at the nearby Chilkoot River, and bald eagles every day. There are wonderful hikes around the bay and trail-heads further along and fishing and kayaking and all sorts of outdoor adventures for those seeking that level of activity. Or you could just happily stay in, watch the ever-changing view, snuggle up, read a book, write, paint, chat, cook and drink - if that's more your thing. Most importantly, the Paradise Cove house is a place that reminds you the world is bigger than its current troubles and I highly recommend a visit to anyone of any age. Thanks so much Cecily and Mark for a trip we won't forget. Sandy and Irina.
