Perched above a garage, Sunrise studio offers an elevated view of Alaska's mountain and water vistas. The cozy haven is decorated in warm hues of sunrise, providing a comfortable space for couples and families. Guests can enjoy lazy walks through forested trails on the historic Treadwell townsite, leading to Juneau’s best beach with stunning views of Gastineau channel.
Spacious Sunrise studio is located above our garage, providing an elevated view of surroundings from an abundance of windows that let in both the beauty and the light. The mountain and water views allow guests to enjoy the gorgeous wilds of Alaska from their own cozy haven decorated in warm hues of a sunrise. The queen-sized bed is a comfortable sleeping space for a couple, while the double sofa-sleeper provides additional sleeping space for children.
The rental is located right on historic Treadwell townsite, where guests can enjoy lazy walks through the forested trails that were once the streets of a booming gold mining town. Peppered with historic buildings, informative signs, and relics from times long past, the trails wind past babbling brooks out to Juneau’s best beach where views of Gastineau channel are made all the more beautiful by a backdrop of precipitous waterfalls cascading down to the shore. Sandy Beach Playground is a short jaunt further down the beach or trails. And for those wanting to gain some elevation on a longer hiking adventure, Mount Jumbo trailhead is just a five-minute walk around the corner.
When hungry, guests will enjoy the ease of preparing food in the fully equipped kitchen or on the bbq, or may instead choose to take a short scenic walk to the Douglas café or Island Pub, where they make amazing pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven. Other dining options, shopping and adventure also await in downtown Juneau, which is just a 10 minute drive in a private vehicle. You can also enjoy the convenience of public transportation to reach Juneau, with buses running every 30 minutes from the stop located just a block away.
We have strong unlimited internet, so you should have no problems connecting for telework or to share your adventures with friends and family. Other amenities that will make a stay more comfortable include a flat screen tv equipped with Roku for movies and entertainment, a washer and dryer, and private off-street parking. Because the unit is on the second floor, it must be accessed by stairs, and so it not a good fit for anyone with mobility issues.
Sorry, no pets or smoking inside the apartment or on the grounds.
Note: Our family of four lives in the log home adjacent to the rental. Although we are very respectful of our visitors with regard to noise, a bit of mild family sounds should be expected here and there during normal waking hours (7a-10p), such as our kids and friends and/or our bernedoodle pup romping around the property. Most of the time our location is very serene. Please feel free to inquire if any questions!

Very comfortable had everything we needed for an extended stay, less than 15 minutes to all of the events we had scheduled. 20 minutes or less to the Airport it was perfect for our trip will definitely add to our favorites.
The Sandy Beach studio apt was super cute, thoughtfully equipped, comfy, clean - we would stay there again!
Our hosts were friendly, accessible & quick to respond. Highly recommend this beautiful space!
The cozy, beautifully decorated property was just as promised online. Well stocked with everything we needed, so warm and inviting... The view was impeccable and the outdoor firepit added a fun option. The owner was extremely thoughtful abd communication was fantastic! I highly recommend this properry for a couple looking to have the prrfect stay in Juneau!
This stay exceeded our expectations. Perfect little getaway with an ideal outdoor space for the cold evenings to view the channel and mountain and float planes. Loved it! Highly recommend you book!
We had the most wonderful stay, everything was just as described only more beautiful! The carriage house had the most beautiful view! Karin gave great recommendations of places to see and we traveled all the roads. The path down from the house was amazing including walking on the beach during low tide. We have shared with our friends and we plan to come back again soon!
Awesome location, lovely views from the couch! Nice and clean.lots added touches!we had a great trip! Just down the gardens steps to the nature walk and beach! Thanks Karen
It was the best stay I've booked on Vrbo so far. My and my brother stayed for 4 days at Karin's place in Douglas which is 20 minutes away from downtown Juneau. The check-in process was eezy peezy and the place was fully furnished. It made me feel like it was like was at my 2nd home. Karin and her family make you feel right at home. Your living room window view is the mountains and you're 5 minutes from water near Paris Creek. Would return in a heartbeat that's for sure.
This is a perfect getaway from downtown Juneau with trails close by and easy beach access. From the window you can see cruise ships sliding in and out of the channel framed by trees. The owners were helpful and their pdf had great tips on dining. We highly recommend this place.
Great rental in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful views. Rental was just as presented on VRBO site. Host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay so much that we opted to stay there one day in lieu of any expeditions. The beach access and views were stunning. Having a kitchen and w/d made it feel like a home away from home. We were VERY pleased and hope to stay there again!

This was just perfect for our stay in Juneau while visiting family. Beautiful inside and out and stocked with everything you need in a vacation rental. The host family could mot have been more gracious.
Property was as listed… Cleaning service didn’t do as well of a job as when I stayed there earlier in June… but otherwise a great place to stay…

This was a perfect place for my husband and I to stay during our honeymoon! Owner was very helpful and friendly! Very clean and just a few minutes from the town of Juneau. Amazing views from the back porch! I would definitely recommend for 2 people looking for a great place to stay!
This place is great! Karin and her family were awesome! Came into town for Ironman and wanted a nice quiet place to stay away. This studio was perfect with everything we needed.
Thanks Karin! We would surly recommend your place to anyone asking
Warm - inviting - setting is incredible for Dougkas relax. Great design details. Not missing a beat. Hostess anticipates immediate needs. Even provides good suggestions for sightseeing, eating out or picnic goods. In a beautiful forest setting. Views of Mt Robert’s and the Treadwell Mine Trail. A fascinating archeological site even if abandoned a 100 years ago. It’s been reclaimed by nature. Lower deck perfect for evening relax.,A stay I will remember.,
I could not believe how Karin had everything and more inside of the studio. Both my mom and I were extremely impressed. We loved the atmosphere, the help from Karin, and the accessibility to the beach. It was so worth being away from Juneau. We can not thank Karin enough for providing such a great VRBO.
