From the beginning Keith was very nice and welcoming, I really appreciated that. Keith took me to several places all along the Island, karta river wildernis and memorial beach for example. The nature here is amazing, felt like living in a documentary!… read more

I had an incredible two weeks staying as Keith’s guest. He was an excellent host making every effort to ensure I enjoyed my time there. If you are looking to visit Alaska give the Floathouse serious consideration. The area is simply breathtaking with incredible natural beauty. Kieth did everything he could to maximize my experience on Prince of… read more

I stayed with Keith and Taya for 3 weeks in August which was warm enough for a forced swim! Waking up and looking out of the window to see bears, eagles, salmon and the like was next-level.

I stayed at Keith's Floathouse throughout February and it was an adventure. Due to the time of year, there unfortunately wasn't too much to do, though Keith still taught me some things-- such as crabbing and shrimping. The work was fair and not overbearing. Besides shrimping and crabbing, I spent time moving things around the Floathouse and… read more

What can I say that has not already been said. I stayed with Keith and Taya for 5 weeks in October - November 2022. They are both wonderful hosts, and more importantly, wonderful people. I consider them both an extended part of my family now and I am already missing them a lot. They made me feel right at home and made sure I was comfortable.

Keith’s floathouse is a pretty nice retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Work wasn’t too difficult. We did shingles, deck building, light carpentry, and firewood. Keith taught me how to do all of these things and was very patient with me. Taya and I talked a lot about our shared christian faith and jewish heritage which was nice. She… read more

i stayed for nearly three months (Aug-Nov) at Keiths place and i loved every minute! For nature and wildlife lovers this is the place to go, very remote and peaceful and i believe its hard to understand this type of life unless you experience it.
