River House is a wonderful vacation rental cottage, situated on the Chilkat River in Haines, Alaska. The view is stupendous, the wildlife viewing opportunities are awesome. River House is close to town (about 1 mile from downtown), but feels miles and miles away. You'll be at the mouth of the Chilkat River, where it meets saltwater in the Chilkat Inlet.
At high tide you are on salt water; at low tide you are on fresh water. Find out more about the Surroundings.

As you come into Haines, there's a "Y" and a sign that says "Welcome to Haines." Take the right fork. Go about 1/2 mile to the first real cross street, which is Third Avenue. Turn right, up the hill about 1/2 mile to the sign that says "Chilkat State Park" with an arrow pointing right. Go right on Mud Bay Road.
