Juneau Vacation Homes


A Juneau Vacation might just be the most memorable part of your entire Alaska experience.

But you really don't need to spend a lot to enjoy many of Juneau's best attractions.


Juneau is on the small side for a state capital, and it's also a very quaint city with around 30,000 permanent residents.

Located along the beautiful Inside Passage of Southern Alaska, Juneau is surrounded by natural beauty.

In fact, Juneau is situated on the Gastineau Channel, a narrow straight lined with huge Alpine peaks on both sides.

The lush mountains on either side of the channel are often covered in snow, providing a storybook setting for the city.

Just beyond the first row of mountains is the enormous Juneau Icefield, which is the biggest Icefield in all of North America.

Excursions available in Juneau can run in the hundreds of dollars.

Some of these excursions are certainly worth whatever you pay, if you can afford it.

However, if you need to stick to a tighter budget, it is still possible to visit several of the most breathtaking and unforgettable sights in Juneau.
