The staff are so friendly, and we got side track and I forgot my $50.00 change. So that afternoon…read morewhen I noticed that I did not get my change, after our excursion I went back to the store and I was told to contact the manager, which I did, I left messages, and he call me back for some reasons, I did not noticed that he sent me a text message so I called him. He said he checked the video, that it was not given, he issued a cheque for reimbursement. I'm thankful that he honored my claim. I received the refund checked today. Thank you... Alicia S.

Good place to buy trinkets. Clean and friendly and lots of beautiful things to choose from. I have…read morebeen to southern Alaska a few ti and I always find something special there.

I took an illegal picture here. Don't arrest me!…read more Random House carries the best collection of non-traditional nesting dolls that I saw in Alaska. It's worth a visit just to see sets like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Harry Potter, and the American presidents. Because everyone wants to take a picture and not actually buy the nesting dolls, the purveyors have had to put up a sign saying, "No photographs!" Thankfully I didn't notice the sign before I snapped away. They also had a nice supply of Russian Christmas ornaments and I bought one. Pay no attention to the Yelp map which maps Random House by its P.O. number, Random House is located on Lincoln St. along with all the other tourist shops.

I love a good storybook. Here's one I haven't heard until a visit to the Random House in Sitka, AK…read more- The Turnip Family in the form of a set of nesting dolls. For those who want a slightly different take home item other than the geo-graphic key chains, a small to medium sized nesting doll set is my recommendation. You'll be glad you spent just under $12 and got something a bit more interesting than the cruise line's highly advertized special Russian Bazaar. Regrets - I need to decide whether to keep them or give 'em to the niece...sheesh, should've bought two!

Great Christmas gift shop…read more I should not have taken my wife in. People are great and they have some good sales.

Absolutely gorgeous artwork can be found in this Russian centric Christmas shop. From stackable…read moredolls to ornate statues and hand painted bulbs and the list goes on and on. My only gripe about this business is the price which seems quite high and clearly is going after the visiting tourists. I am not an expert on price when it comes to this type of work but I clearly recognize beauty and craftsmanship when I see it and the merchandise they sell at this business oozes it! This is a must visit if you are a collector of fine Christmas ornamates and if you can afford it you will find yourself in Nirvana (:

Sitka Alaska Baranof jewelry store sold me a ring for $3,750. Had it professionally appraised by a…read morecertified appraiser when I got home. It appraised for $1,400 less than what I paid - And that was with the professional appraiser taking into consideration what is considered a fair jewelry store markup. 14k blue diamond ring. Diamonds rated as poor by the professional appraiser. High pressure sales tactics and misleading information. And saying you get their appraised value in the mail later is a huge Red Flag! I know better now. They know you have limited time to get back on the ship and they take advantage and rip you off. Buyer beware!

I have to say that I am very disappointed and sad to read some of the previous reviews. My husband…read moreand I first came into contact with Baranof in 2021 by pure chance, and we have been so pleased with every interaction we have had. We are both in customer service and, after our interaction with Tom, we decided this would be our "jeweler" regardless of our home location in Texas. They have always been prompt in responding, and are quick to stand behind their products. I have needed some repair work to my ring (admittedly probably a little rough with it), and there has never been a question on getting it shipped out, fixed, and turned back around to me as soon as possible. In our business, it's always best to remember that there are always two sides to every story - or at least a little more background to consider. Take the opportunity to get to know this establishment, and their quality of work and relationships! Thank you all for your continued effort and assistance! The Flynn Family

The shop is very nice, obviously able to handle the sudden volume coming off the ships. They have everything you could want Alaska, from knives to clothes to mammoth jewelry to magnets. It is a tourist ship, but clean with high quality wares.

Unfortunately my wife thought they had another store at Ketchikan which they did not. She's kicking herself yet I'm smiling happily inside bc of my money wallet! Aw joking... They do have helpful customer service as wifey expressed. We don't remember if they did in Hoonah just bc our goal there was not shopping! My bad. Oops! I got to relax outside this Brenner store drinking my coffee so wifey can take her time shopping. I was in my own heaven nonetheless! LOLOLOL Too bad we might have to travel to Alaska again in the future just to fulfill my wifey's shopping needs! I just have to remind her Sitka & Hoonah(icy strait point) ONLY!!! Now Go Shopping to your heart's delight as they have more than just fine clothing like nice gifts for friends & family. . I think wifey was not supposed to take pictures here. What? Oopsie.
