Lovely place to stay, the cabin was spacious with two beds and a loft of two beds. Easy walk up and down the hill, super close to town and bikeable paths all around.

Great Rustic Get Away One room cabin with a modern bath was very rustic, warm, and well maintained. The owners were great, picked us up from the airport, drove us to town when we were leaving, had bikes available to ride into town. Their dog and children were very friendly. If we would have had a car to drive into town I would have stayed our entire stay in Skagway at The Swaying Spruce. Loved it!

We stayed 2 nights in Forget me not and one in Arctic Poppy (only one available)|Swaying pines is about 2 km out of town and is a great way to take a break from the downtown cruise ship madness. Whilst it is possible to walk into town, and push bikes are available, your own transport would be an advantage. The forget me not cabin is a good size, has nice facilities including shower & toilet in a separate room, and some nice touches like the hand made curtains. This is a great cabin for a couple that wants to be out of town. If I were asked ‘what would make the experience even better’ I’d simply say that if the bedding were upgraded Forget me not would be really something special.|The online description of Arctic Poppy warns you it’s tiny. When you book, the owners warn you again that it’s

First impression - amazing! When we arrived at our cabin, Columbine, it was more than I expected. Very easy to find the location of the Swaying Spruce and self check in, with parking in front of cabin. Cute little covered porch with furniture and barbeque. Inside it was jam packed with everything you could possibly need. Yes, the space was tight but what do you expect for finding the only accommodations suitable for 5 girls. It was more than perfect. Very nice host - Jesse, who gave us an update on the Chilkoot Trail. The dog was delightful - she laid on the deck and kept an eye on us!

My girlfriend and I visited Skagway, the Yukon and Juneau over the span of a week. The Swaying Spruce was the highlight of our stays. The property is beautiful and perfectly located. I spent three summers working in Skagway many years ago and have a very strong understanding of how loud it can be to stay in town and how far away other cabins are from town. The Swaying Spruce is perfect and owned by locals. Bikes are provided making all travel very easy and the cabin exceeded our expectations. Very clean and all you need for an Alaskan experience. Do yourself a favor and experience Skagway from the Swaying Spruce
