Have you ever stayed overnight in a lighthouse? Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore, the salty sea breeze brushing across your face, and the sight of a majestic lighthouse standing tall against the backdrop of Sitka, Alaska's pristine wilderness. Welcome to your next adventure—a stay at the Vertical Luxury Lighthouse, where history, comfort, and natural beauty converge to create an unforgettable experience.
Perched on a private one-acre island just a five-minute water taxi ride from Sitka, this unique retreat is more than just a place to rest your head. It's a destination that invites you to immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Southeast Alaska. With two bedrooms and the capacity to sleep six, the lighthouse offers ample space for families, friends, or even a small business retreat. The main level is a haven of comfort, featuring a full kitchen, cozy living room, dining room, and bathroom. Step outside onto the wrap-around decks, where Adirondack chairs and a picnic table beckon you to relax and soak in the panoramic views.
The primary bedroom on the second floor boasts a queen bed, while the third floor offers a charming bunk room with four bunks, each equipped with curtain dividers for added privacy. Ascend another stairway to discover a glass-walled room with nine windows providing a 360-degree view of Sitka and the Eastern Channel—a perfect spot for yoga, reading, or whale watching. And let's not forget the outdoor hot tub, where you can unwind under the stars, enveloped by the soothing sounds of the ocean.
Built-in 1983 by Burgess Bauder, a local veterinarian passionate about design, the lighthouse is an actual labor of love. It continues to serve as a navigational beacon while also welcoming guests seeking a unique and memorable getaway. In 2017, new owner Teal West infused the lighthouse with fresh, creative touches, enhancing its charm and comfort. Whether you're planning a romantic wedding, a honeymoon, or a business retreat, the lighthouse offers a stunning setting for any occasion.
Fully equipped with high-end linens, cooking supplies, a BBQ, and satellite TV, the lighthouse ensures that your stay is as comfortable as it is adventurous. For those who wish to explore, kayaks, paddleboards, and a small motorized boat are at your disposal. Marvel at humpback whales, sea otters, and sea lions, or explore tide pools teeming with starfish, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins. The skies above are alive with eagles, sea birds, and blue herons, adding to the enchanting atmosphere.
So, why wait? Let's embark on this journey together. Picture yourself sitting on the deck, a cup of coffee in hand, watching commercial boats, trollers, and kayakers glide by. Feel the thrill of spotting wildlife up close and personal, and savor the peace that comes from being surrounded by nature's grandeur. At the Vertical Luxury Lighthouse, every moment is a chance to create lasting memories, and we can't wait to welcome you to this extraordinary slice of paradise.
Our location is just a five-minute boat ride from the center of downtown Sitka, Alaska. This allows you to enjoy a peaceful retreat while still conveniently close to the vibrant community. During your stay, renting a car is unnecessary, as you can easily walk from the boat harbor to most restaurants, shops, and local attractions.
