Ketchikan House | THE FISHING SHACK - NEWLY REMODELED IN 2023

3 Bedroom House in Ketchikan

For the past 11 years, my buddies and I have been fishing in Ketchikan every summer. For the last 3 years we have joked about buying a house to give us a more permanent home in Alaska.
Well, last year I retired, pulled the trigger and bought an old abandoned shack that hadn't been lived in for the past 4 years.
I started with a brand-new roof. Added a brand-new deck. All new doors. Replaced windows. Then started an entire remodel of the inside that was completed April of 2023. The exterior has been stabilized, but still has a lot of work left to do.
The interior is where I've spent most of my focus. New appliances, new sheetrock, paint, furniture, TVs, beds, cabinets, flooring, new washing machine and dryer. EVERTHING has been re-done compared to what it originally looked like.
It is a really cool fishing shack!
It is located out north by Clover Pass and Knudson Cove. Perfect for fishermen heading out!
It is also less than one mile from South Point Higgins Beach which boasts the best sunsets in Ketchikan. After a successful day on the water, you and your fishing buddy can walk hand in hand down to the waterfront and experience the best view Alaska has to offer. (Rated 4.9 stars on Google reviews)
I have owned rentals before in St. George, UTAH and had a perfect 5-star rating. I don't want that to be jeopardized, that's why I'm letting you know it is a "work in progress". If you want the perfect, completely remodeled cabin that looks great on a postcard . . . this is NOT your place. The exterior looks a bit rough still. But the inside is AWESOME!
If you are concerned about anything, please reach out to me before booking. I want to make sure you won't be disappointed with my "work in progress".
We have a BBQ grill, big pot to boil crabs in, crab crackers and hammers . . . a mud room to take off wet clothing . . . TV's in every bedroom and living room . . . comfortable beds and pillows, and everything else you'll need to feed your X and Y chromosomes. And this place doesn't suck for the ladies either. My wife has done a good job making sure it has enough class to cater to couples and families and not just smelly fishermen. This place is really cool.
Upgrades are continually happening and my wife has helped me with wall hangings and decorations since these pictures were taken.
I hope you make as many memories at my little fishing shack as me and my buddies intend on making.
Again, any questions . . . please reach out to me before booking.
