Sitka Bed and Breakfast

Tyler, Sarah, Isabella, Scott and Kokoa would like to welcome you into their home. Tyler and Sarah met at the University of Alaska Juneau before they started their life together while teaching in the rural Alaska community of Selawik. After four years of teaching they decided to start a family in Sitka. Isabella was born 2 years after returning to Sitka and on her third birthday she got a baby brother.

Tyler was born and raised in Sitka and enjoys the outdoors. He spends many days out in the boat fishing and exploring the rich mining history of southeast Alaska. Tyler has keep his teaching certificate, but now designs and builds webpages, works for a construction company and travels frequently throughout the year to pursue his newest passion of photography.

Sarah was raised in Gustavus (Glacier Bay) and spent many years working for the Glacier Bay National Park Service. Her grand parents homesteaded in Gustavus and her parents still call Gustavus their home. Sarah currently teachers first grade, but enjoys any free time playing with Isabella. Is is due in April with our second baby. Her hobbies include scrapbooking, jogging, taking Kokoa for walks (most commonly in Totem Park), and baking.

Isabella Renee Eddy was born on April 21st, 2004. She is too young to be making beds at the inn, but joins us on many walks that we take with our guests.

Kokoa is a Jack Russell with a passion for fish! She was born in Tacoma, WA and spent the first few years of her life in Arctic Alaska with Tyler and Sarah. She adores people and will jump at the chance to go for a walk or down to the beach. Just mention either of those two activities and she will hold you to your word, barking and jumping until she gets her way! Kokoa lives in the bed and breakfast with Tyler, Sarah, Isabella and Scott.

Where to find your hosts?
Eddystone is our home and where we are often found when we are not at work. Tyler works for a construction company and Sarah is a first grade teacher. Eddystone property is very large with lots of wild berries and other indigenous plants. Sitka Pine, Spruce, Cedar and Hemlock trees tower tall providing a place for eagles to land. Berry picking in August, yard work in spring and fire wood cutting in the fall provide us with lots of time to enjoy out home.

Eddystone is a name of a rock near Ketchikan and a lighthouse in the English Channel. My father gave our home the nickname of Eddystone since our last name is Eddy and our home was located on a peninsula made completely of rock (stone). Eddystone has been our family home since I was 8 years old. We plan on raising our family here while opening our home to guests.

Who is Kokoa? Kokoa is a Jack Russell that was born in Tacoma and raised in arctic Alaska. She loves to dig and chase fish, but due to her size we have to keep a close eye on her so that she does not get picked up by an eagle.
