About this property

Guests will find the unit equipped with a full kitchen, chest freezer, laundry room, digital tv with cable, wireless internet, bbq grill and sleeping accommodations for up to 6. Guests will also have access to a private dock, 28' uniflight or 16' com-pac sail boat and Dodge Caravan.

World-class King salmon fishing is located right off the private dock on the property. The best Silver fishing in Alaska is only minutes away from the dock and guests can see pink salmon jumping all around the area. There's no need to travel far. All of your fishing can be done in the calm waters around Knudson Cove/Clover Passage. The 28' uniflite boat is available for guests to take for self-guided trips, as part of the daily package rate. There is also the option of day sailing in a 16' sailboat. The owners have a check-out, orientation process to inform the guests about the features of the boat, fishing gear and fishing boundaries. Larry and Leslie own the 38’ F/V Alaskan, which is also available for guided fishing charters.

During the summer months, the whale watching is extraordinary in Knudson Cove. Guests can often see Humpback Whales bubble feeding and pods of Killer Whales swimming by, right from the dock. Eagles, otters, seals and sea lions are some of the animals that guests will see on a daily basis.

This cabin is located on a private lot off of Potter Road in Knudson Cove. The lot is adjacent to residential and commercial lots. There is kayaking and a zip line course a half mile away, and a full service marina with liquor store and convenience store. The property is located 15 miles north of Ketchikan on the road system. Downtown Ketchikan is a short, 20 minute drive away. Flightseeing, Alaska Native art, museums, hiking awesome fishing opportunities, there's something in Ketchikan for the entire family!

Very nice place

The property is back from the water and dock, but has a view out through trees to the water from the patio. It was very nice to be able to walk down to the dock and take the boat out whenever we wanted. The boat and house were well maintained and communication with the owner was smooth, as was the check-in. The kitchen was appropriately stocked with supplies and the cake was welcome. The van worked OK and made the trip very convenient - just walk off the plane, grab the van and be in the house and even on the water with no hassle or lines.

Best Place in Alaska

This is my second visit to Kingfisher Cabin, and I highly recommend this place for the location, fishing, and equipment. The cabin and location is ideal. Leslie and Larry are fantastic. We were welcomed by a basket of blueberry bread and canned salmon. The blueberry bread was delicious and the salmon we saved for home. Having a boat available to fish all day is worth the trip. The twin engine is fully equipped to fish either halibut or salmon and we caught plenty. We hired Larry for a charter and caught even more fish. The house is fully equipped with everything including a deep freezer and their is a large marina less than a mile from the house where you can vacuum pack your fish or there is a packer next door to the marina and they will pack it for you. You can not go wrong with this rental.

We will be back

What an amazing stay. Loved the property, the location and Larry and Leslie were wonderful. We had a wonderful time fishing and seeing the humpbacks every day. We are already planning to come back next year and stay for at least a week.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Jackson

About the owners: Larry Jackson was born and raised in Ketchikan and is the quintessential Southeast Alaska “jack of all trades.” Larry grew up with 7 siblings and his parents owned and operated one of the first flight-seeing businesses in Ketchikan: Revilla Air. Larry went to Eastern Washington University and received an Industrial Arts degree with a teaching certificate. Over a span of about 15 years, Larry fished commercially as crew on seiners, as a sea cucumber diver and owned/fished a Dungeness crab permit. Larry has a passion for working with the local wood of the Tongass National Forest and opened a commercial sawmill in 2005 and a pellet mill in 2011. Now Larry spends his time charter fishing out of Knudson Cove Marina and creating custom wood products at the mill. Leslie arrived in Ketchikan from Texas in 2005 to work as a planner for the Ketchikan Gateway Borough. She met Larry soon after and they were married on their property in 2008. They built their custom home in 2009. It features the various local species of wood, local art and lots of character. Larry and Leslie have two small children, Josephine and Bridger.

Why they chose this property

Come experience the beauty of Ketchikan, the world class fishing and sailing opportunities and stay in a custom milled cabin. This is the only property in Alaska that has the option for avid sailors to explore sailing in Alaska.

What makes this property unique

This is a unique package deal that includes the lodging, boat and van. Skip the hassle of booking each item individually and book a package. Once you land in Ketchikan, there is a short (5 minute) ferry ride from Gravina Island (where the airport is located) to Ketchikan. We will leave the van there for you to pick up. There is a short drive (20 min) out north to the cabin in Knudson Cove. The boat is available for self-guided fishing and will be tied up at the private dock on the property. All fishing gear is included and we will give a short orientation on the use of the boat, gear and fishing boundaries. Guided trips are also available on the F/V Alaskan for a separate fee.
