Escape the hubbub of city life and enjoy the neighborly fellowship of other nature enthusiasts year round. We’re right next to the ocean where you can see whales, shore birds, and other wildlife. We have about 100 days of sunshine every year and many days of ‘liquid sunshine.’ The liquid sunshine (rain) is what creates the lush rainforest landscape here in Ketchikan. So bring your umbrella and rain gear. You’ll fit right in.
You’ll find fun in Alaska’s southern-most city, too. Ketchikan has about 8,200 year-round residents, but more than 1.5 million visitors throughout the spring and summer, so you’ll discover plenty of taverns, restaurants, and shopping in this historic town on the Inside Passage.
Located on Revillagegido Island, Ketchikan is accessible by water only. The easiest approach is by ferry from Bellingham, Washington. Get off the ferry and travel north on Tongass Highway for 11 miles…and there we are.
Vallenar View MHP is indeed a quiet nature retreat, but sometimes you want or need something. Here’s good news…

Boat rentals, fishing charters, jet skis and kayaks. Surrounded by the Tongass National Forest, Knudson Cove Marina offers family fun and it’s only a few miles away.
