We really enjoyed our stay at The Cottage. It’s private and the view is great! Mattress was comfortable and shower had plenty of pressure. Was a pleasure to watch familiar tv, Directv. Didn’t have to fiddle with streaming. Jim did a great job of keeping the property plowed and deck shoveled. Much appreciated.

The Cottage was a great weekend getaway accommodation. Ideally located close to downtown Haines and on a side street provides privacy and security for yourself and your belongings. I plan on staying again next year for another late season fishing adventure.
A bbq on the deck would be appreciated for cooking meals or at least a table so I can use my potable bbq next year instead of cooking off the deck. The kitchen also did not have any tea towels to dry the dishes so we used lots of paper towels. Something to consider for next guests. Thank you for our stay and look forward to booking with you again in (2024) which will be I think our 4th or 5th booking using your site!

The views of the ocean and mountains from the cottage are amazing. Located right in town, it makes for easy access to amenities. The visitor Centre was very helpful. We enjoyed visiting the bears and eagles every day at the river. Cottage was equipped with everything we needed, host was quick to respond to our questions. Overall, a great stay!

The Cottage: Amazing cozy little cottage
Posted: Aug 11, 2023 |
We spent 3 days at the cottage and we had an amazing time. The house has a great, cozy, super clean and had comfortable feel that blends with the Haines vibe. Right in the middle of the action, but very private at the same time with an amazing view on the ocean, hence a perfect location. Haines is a great little town with friendly people. We fished for salmon on the Chilkoot River ( 10 min drive) and was incredible. Over all, highly recommend this house and will be back some day for sure.

The Cottage: Great View

The Owners were super easy to communicate with and very helpful. The view off the porch is great and the location made it easy to get to everything in town. Everything was clean and worked properly and we had no problems with the TV or heater or anything else. Really a good deal and staying here contributed to our enjoying the 5 night stay in Haines very much. One possible suggestion - the kitchen could use a larger pot for making spaghetti (otherwise we had everything we needed for cooking!)

We stayed here over a holiday weekend and while the weather was not always cooperative, we still had time to enjoy the deck and beautiful views that this rental cottage has to offer. It’s very comfortably sized and has the basic essentials to get you through a short stay. Communication with the property manager was always prompt. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to another one in the future!

This is our second time here, which speaks for itself as to how much we enjoy staying here. It is always clean and has everything we need, not to mention the fabulous view. The cottage is within walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores and the road it's on leads to the beautiful Chilkoot Park and river. Lots of bird conversations going on nearby, eagles everywhere and, of course, we enjoyed the bear activity along the river. I highly recommend staying here during your time in Haines.

My son & I had a wonderful stay at the Cottage. The view was outstanding outside on the deck. Every morning we could see eagles gliding over the vast inlet. The living area, dining area, kitchen, bedroom & bath were clean & the entire area was open & inviting. We would highly recommend this place to stay to anyone who wants to be in the heart of downtown Haines and surrounding areas.

We stayed here for two weeks. It was warm, cozy and plenty of hot water. Woke up and enjoyed watching the sun come over the mountains. Close to everything. Saw whales a few times from the deck. If you are sensitive to light or would just like to sleep in past 4:00am, bring your own eye masks, white mini blinds in the bedroom.

We enjoyed our stay at The Cottage in Haines, it was clean and comfortable. Location was perfect for walking downtown to the store or walks along the shore.

We very much enjoyed our recent stay at The Cottage! The minute you walk in, it feels like it might be an old family home--comfy chairs & couch, rustic fireplace, wagon wheel chandelier, and a beautiful Craftsman style breakfast nook. The separate bedroom has a comfortable Queen bed with flannel sheets and a nice comforter. The fold out hide-a-bed in the living room was surprisingly comfortable as well, and a selection of sheets, blankets & pillows allows you to make a cozy nest. The kitchen is well-stocked with basics & the coffee maker works great. The hot water was plentiful and pressure was good. Soap, shampoo, hairdryer, & plenty of fluffy towels were also provided. The deck provides a stunning view--wine glasses are in the kitchen cupboard. I didn't want to come home.

My daughter and I loved our stay at the cottage for a weekend getaway to Haines from Juneau. It was great to come back to after events like First Friday and a concert at the Chilkat Center or just a drive. The only reason I reduced a half star was because the steep driveway made me a bit nervous with a layer of snow but I'm a wimp about slippery roads. It wasn't slick at all but it potentially could be if ice formed. But it was great and we loved our stay, would stay their again!

So happy to have found this accommodation! I worried it was too good to be true when I booked it but it totally lived up to what was advertised. The only "issues" were the microwave and fridge needed to be wiped out and the satellite TV was difficult to use, mostly because I've never used one before. These are SO small in comparison to what we experienced: clean, lots of towels, all the dishes we needed, perfectly self-contained AND within walking distance of everything downtown with awesome views. I didn't want to leave. I will be back!!

We had a wonderful stay at Randa's cottage in Haines. The view from the cottage is breathtaking -- unobstructed views of the inlet and the surrounding mountains from the living room, dining area, and the bedroom -- and we found the home itself to be just the perfect size for a couple. It was also nice to find the cabin spotlessly clean upon arrival. The home is conveniently located within walking distance of everything within downtown Haines. We loved spending a few quiet days in Haines during the off-season, and we were even treated to a spectacular display of the northern lights which were visible right from the cottage's deck. The only thing we found disappointing is that we eventually had to leave!

The Cottage in Haines: A wonderful cottage with amazing views
Posted: Jul 4, 2017 |
We stayed at the cottage for three nights in June during a road-trip through Alaska and the Yukon. It was a lovely place to relax for a few days and made a perfect base for day trips to Skagway and the Chilcat Bald Eagle Preserve. The cottage was very cozy and well equipped. The view are truly stunning and we wish we could have spent more time spotting eagles from the deck and watching the cruise ships sail past. I would recommend the cottage to anyone who prefer a quiet location in contrast to the hustle and bustle of the major cruise ship stopovers. The fast ferry allows for a fun day trip to Skagway and there are plenty of activities in Haines itself. We hope to stay here again in the future. Thanks Randa : )

Home away from Home
Posted: Jun 2, 2017 |
Our stay at The Cottage was wonderful. The patio had an incredible view and was very private. Everything was provided for us and available within the Cottage, and if it wasn't we knew it was only a phone call away.
We loved being able to park for the weekend and just walk to where we needed to go. The grocery store, liquor store, coffee shops and museums are only a short walk away which is very convenient. The location was great.
My only suggestion might be darker curtains for the bedroom as the midnight sun rose earlier than we do. Otherwise, it was perfect and we look forward to staying there again in the future.
Thank you so much Randa,
Keith and Jess

We brought our own pot and pan to avoid Teflon, I didn't really check the pots out so perhaps they were fine. I understand that people tend to steal things that are too nice. We would be happy to stay there again.

Manager Response: The fireplace works but unfortunately it makes the cabin too hot, causing the furnace to shut off, causing the hot water to get cold. Sorry!

Great house in Haines
Posted: May 3, 2017 |
My wife and I happened onto "the cottage" and were very pleased with our find. The house has a wonderful view of Lynn Canal and the small boat harbor. It is in town so you can walk everywhere. The place is clean and well supplied. I would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation. Haines is beautiful and this place made it even better! R.

The Cottage in Haines

The Cottage in Haines is absolutely the most value of our stay after a long day drive. It's clean, comfortable and has everything you need for short or long stay. The view from the window and terrace is the kind of dream holiday. The location is very central to all the shops and downtown sight seeings.

Loved my stay in this cozy little cottage. I took my parents and son (infant) with me on a trip to explore Haines in October. I knew it was off-season, so was nervous about keeping busy. The central location of this rental and lovely view made it easy to relax inside, explore downtown and go for many beautiful walks. Thank you!

Cottage in Haines - Loved it
Posted: Sep 23, 2016 |
This is my second stay at the Cottage. I absolutely love it. The location is perfect. The view is amazing. We rearrange the living room and watch the ocean while we have our morning coffee or night cap. We plan to return every year around the same time. WIFI was an unexpected added bonus. Very clean. Nice bathroom.
We couldn't figure out the bedroom TV. We got in plugged in but couldn't get the TV to actually function. I would suggest having it set up so all the guests have to do is turn it on. The living room TV was perfect.
Last Sept when we were there, there was a big thick red satin bed spread and shams. It was a very comfortable and attractive bed linen set. There was nothing wrong with the bed linen set this time but hard to out do that nice red one.
I love the Cottage. See you next year :)

The reservation process with Reservations by Randa was really efficient and painless!
The location of The Cottage is perfect - so close to town but very private. The owner is very willing to accommodate special requests and attend to anything needing attention. We found everything we needed was included and the place had a comfortable feeling of being at home. On the other hand though, the bed felt old - firm still and not saggy but old. The pull out couch mattress and pillows are past their prime too. The place seemed to be clean overall, but I did need to do some cleaning in the bathroom around the sink and on the toilet. Regardless of these less than glowing last couple of comments though, I would definitely stay at The Cottage again and recommend it to those traveling to Haines!

Cozy space, lovely owner

I have stayed at The Cottage several times. The deck overlooking the ocean is amazing, the kitchen is well appointed, there is a very comfortable amount of space, and the owner is very accommodating!

The cottage is the perfect space to get away and relax! We love the open concept living/ dining area and also the back deck with the beautiful view (even when rainy!)

It is a very comfortable house with a great view of the channel. It is an easy walk to the restaurants and the brewery. The hummingbirds in the yard were a big added bonus. We recommend it.

The Cottage was clean, comfortable and extremely convenient! Definitely exceeded my expectations. Stunning views of the bay, short walking distance to everything in town. 10/10 would stay there again.

The Cottage: fantastic!
Posted: Jul 1, 2016 |
June 24 2016. 4 of us stayed at the cottage and it was perfect. it was great to have a big kitchen to prepare meals, the deck offers a stunning view and it is a very quiet setting yet just a few blocks from town and close enough to walk everywhere. we enjoyed the new Disterillery a trip out to the Cannery to get some fresh Coho Salmon for dinner. very comfortable, thank you!

This cottage was a "leave alone and enjoy" listing and was just great as we were exhausted after a long journey. Haines was a tonic. The cottage was a haven fantastic position just like home.

The best place for a family to stay in Haines!
Posted: Feb 3, 2016 |
We went to Haines to support our sons at a swim meet and I am soo glad that we booked the Cottage. It was conveniently located - close to the down town (re stores and the two restaurants that were open) and a short walk to the beach AND If you follow the owners instructions - it is not too hard to find :) I loved having our own space where we could just hang out. The two things that really stood out for me were: firstly the kitchen. In winter there are not a lot of dining options for visitors to Haines. Throw a couple vegetarians into the mix and having a place where you can prepare and eat your own food was fantastic. Secondly, the view from the kitchen / front deck was absolutely stunning. Yes it helped that we had crystal clear days and the mountains were all painted with fresh snow - but they were larger than life. The cottage situates you to look out over the inlet at them. That meant so much to me that I didn't even turn the tv on once the entire time we were there.

In general we really liked the place. Out was comfortable for 5 people, nice appliances, warm. Kitchen area needs better lighting, and parking area was not plowed so we had to park at the top of the hill and walk down the icy driveway/street to get to the place.

The Cottage: Good in-town stay, great alternative to a hotel
Posted: Oct 2, 2015 |
Since hotels in Haines can run $120+ a night, consider The Cottage, you can house 3-4 people comfortably & you get a good view, a little deck, a full kitchen & you can still stumble around Haines after a day of fishing & not have to drive back to your cabin in the woods... My 6 year old also enjoyed the "home feel" of the place, a hotel would have probably bored him to death... On a final note, the pictures do not do this place justice, it is really has a lot more character inside.
If The Cottage isn't exactly what you are looking for in Haines, contact 'Reservations by Randa' to look at other properties she manages & I am certain you will find something to your liking, there are A LOT of private properties to rent in Haines! Why settle for mediocre hotel rooms when you can have a property to yourself???

Pictures don't do it justice!
Posted: Aug 18, 2015 |
Loved staying at The Cottage. The pictures don't do it justice. Sitting on the deck at night watching the cruise ships pass was a great way to end each day. Nice quiet location and easy walk to all the town attractions and restaurants. Perfect for a couple.

Excellent Cottage in Haines
Posted: Jul 20, 2015 |
We highly recommend the cottage. It was spacious, clean, with ample kitchen amenities. Excellent, comfortable bed! Located in center of town with great views of harbor with private deck. Amazing combo of convenient to everything in town yet completely quiet and private. Best place we've stayed so far! Superb!

Wonderful stay!
Posted: Jun 5, 2015 |
This little cottage, located right downtown, yet nicely secluded with a wonderful view of the harbor, is perfect for 2 people. Front deck, comfortable living and dining with a kitchen, very comfortable bed, can't recommend highly enough!

Lovely getaway
Posted: May 14, 2015 |
We really enjoyed staying at the cottage! It was very open yet cozy and spacious enough for the 2 of us (kids stayed with relatives!) My favorite part was the beautiful view and lovely deck where I did my morning yoga and meditation. I also sat out in the chairs to take in the gorgeous sunshine!
We were able to rest and relax, which was just what we needed!

Kitschy waterfront cottage
Posted: Apr 20, 2015 |
Pleasant kitschy waterfront cottage, much better/larger than the photographs would indicate. We had a short, but great, stay in Haines. The cottage is centrally located so you can walk everywhere in town. There are no laundry facilities but that wouldn't stop us from staying here again.

overall the place was nice. The only thing was the smell when we came in and the hot water... We were a bit disappointed that it was not a wood fire place but your fireplace was romantic... the view was wonderful and it was quiet. It is a very nice cottage and it was clean. I would recommend this place to friends...

Quiet, good location, clean
Posted: Jan 30, 2015 |
We enjoyed our stay at the Cottage. Very clean and private, with a nice view. The owner was very nice and worked hard to fix the hot water and to make our stay comfortable. To make it more suitable for the advertised 4, I suggest adding a closet, armoire, dresser, or inside hooks for the folks staying on the living room couch, which mattress also not very comfortable, even placed on the floor. I also suggest more and warmer blankets for those who don't like sleeping with the heat on high. Overall, very satisfied, thank you!

We loved staying here
Posted: Sep 26, 2014 |
We were challenged a bit to locate the place, but what a find! A cute little cottage recently remodeled with exposed log beams in the living room, a dining area, kitchen wall, nice bedroom with a very comfy bed, and little bathroom. The view from the living room is of the inlet with water and jagged snow-capped mountains in the background. We loved staying here. The burly bearded neighbor is a kick! Get him talking about the history, and he won't stop!

Highly recommended!
Posted: Sep 18, 2014 |
We spent three nights at The Cottage. It was clean and comfortable and the living area had a beautiful view over the water. The kitchen was fully equipped. Haines is a lovely town with some great walks and drives and we wished we'd been able to stay longer. Highly recommended.

Amazing view from the deck!
Posted: Sep 18, 2014 |
The most amazing part of our stay at the cottage was the view from the deck, overlooking the bay and mountains in the distance. We enjoyed watching the cruise ships cruise by on their way to other larger ports. Only one smaller cruise ship comes into Haines on Wednesdays, which adds to the towns charm. Also enjoyed seeing whales in the bay from the cottage. The cottage was clean with a well equipped kitchen. We rode off the Alaska State Ferry with our bicycles and it was easy to see the town with bicycles, and the downtown location of the cottage is convenient. The owner of the cottage was very helpful and accommodating with all our needs and questions. We'll hopefully be able to come back to Haines and the cottage some day!

Walking distance to everything. Amazing views from back porch. Nice comfortable interior with full kitchen for us to cook the fish we caught. Couldn't have asked for more.

Clean and with amazing view.
Posted: Sep 18, 2014 |
We were pleasantly surprised how awesome the cottage was, it was clean and with amazing view. It was recommended to us so we will recommend it to anyone who will travel that way. I wouldn't recommend it to people with pets as some people have allergies like us. The cottage is not an ideal with people with more advance disabilities, no access for wheelchairs.
