Cool piece of history. Frindly staff. Unfortunately city order to remove few rooms from museum, so exhibition not full.

Very interesting frozen in time period house-and what a story behind the house- loved the old fashioned items strewn all around this house

Very interesting history of the creek area. Read the documents on the walls and watch each of the videos in the room. Fascinating. Support local businesses!!!

Wonderful history here where an old world “Madam” ran a business literally in town and legend has it that everyone knew it! The kicker is - they let her do it! The tour guides tell the story - but you can google it and read for yourself! Bling Blinky of a Texas Shout Out: Miss Dolly was an entrepreneur in the Gold Rush Days!

A lot of great people work at Dollys.

Nice area to visit. Former Dolly house turns into a museum.

This is a review for the fishing ...pole rental company next to Dollys.I wanted to fish without the high cost of the cruise ship excursions. I was able to rent a pole, two jigs and a set of needle nose pliers from these folks. They had a young man show me the best place to fish up river. I caught at least 12 salmon, in less than one hour. It was well worth $30. Fun fishing...tight lines. Ive posted a few pictures of my salmon to show the fun. Thanks again.

Must place to visit. Lots of history to recall

Absolutely loved ️ Creek street. And we both got a chuckle at the sign on Dollys

Amazing!!! Dont book an excursion with your cruise come here instead. This review Is for the fishing gear rental and not the brothel museum This is the perfect option for anyone that wants to do some serious fishing and avoid the crowd and extremely high cost of a cruise ship excursion. So much better than anything Norwegian had to offer. Kaylie and her mom run a first class operation. They gave us a great spot to fish super gear to use and got us on our way with the license quickly. Norwegian which happens to be an awful cruise ship got into Ketchikan late and it cancelled our shore activities. This ended up being the best thing about our vacation. Huge Salmon great catches and I even caught a trout.

What an awesome piece of history! A great little place to adventure into!

Interesting artifacts about the life in Alaska in 1920s... and of course about Dolly Arthur herself. Nothing has been changed in the house since that time...

Highlight of my visit to Ketchikan. I visited in the morning on my own before the hoards of tourists descended on Ketchikan.You can really feel Dollys spirit, it feels like she never left. Love how everything looks like she still lives there. Only 10 dollars.

Dollys is a fun and naughty look back to the original female owned enterprise during the gold rush days in Alaska. There are no secrets here and no surprises about what went on in this this house, but if you have an open mind and remember to keep things light, its a quirky and unusual look at the alternate but very true history of this and every other little start-up town in the world!

Beautiful area to explore! Also very nice shop!

Beautiful village and this shop has wonderful artisan pieces with shipping anywhere.

A small house with about half dozen or so rooms. An interesting look back at the red light district during prohibition times. Its a self-walk through, but each room has a TV narration if you chose to listen. It shouldnt take more than 15-20min max. Its only a few blocks from the cruise ship dock surrounded by other little shops. It was interesting (from a historic prospective), but honestly, I would only recommend it if your in the area and dont have anything else to do.

Loved everything related to our Alaskan trip

What a wonderful historical place. The Creek street area is awesome.

Great place to meet up and fish

The entire area of Creek Street in Ketchikan is onr of my all time favourite spots.

Worth the walk around town full of Alaska historyVisit the old ...well ...the whole street was places of pleasureThe old hotels and streets

Very interesting place. Great people!

Dolly’s house was a cool and fun experience, but Dolly’s also has your busses/vans. Our local driver Jared was awesome. Look into Dolly’s For a great private local tour.

Well worth the $10 admission for this bit of history.

I expected there to be a gift shop but alas there was not. Picturesque scenery and super interesting museum. Worth visiting. I was disappointed about the gift shop though

Quaint museum with history of the most notorious madame of Ketchikan

Dollys house is one of the only authentic tours in Ketchikan! Learn about some real local history, not just the big tour companies telling you what you want to hear. The women working here are knowledgeable and friendly!!

This tour was absolutely great. The tour guide at the front of the house was hilarious. I had an awesome time learning about Dolly.

Just like almost everything else on the Alaskan cruise... Spectacular!

Interesting history. The person doing the introduction an history was very good but did it by rote. Otherwise jt was an old house with old stuff in it which is okay if you like history.

Well kept brothel above creek with running salmon.

One of the best place to visit in Ketchikan alaska

Fishing liscense sold on site. Very friendly.

We visited this place while on a cruise in 2005. We found the place curious and worth visiting. In a book we bought here prostitutes were portrayed as brave explorers of the wild :-)

We went to Dollys yesterday while walking around Ketchikan... seriously one of my favorite things my husband and I have seen here. Katie and the other woman (forgive me as I cannot remember her name) were awesome. Katie told us about the history of Dolly, and the house. What a remarkable woman. She was so much more than just a very successful working woman. It was really awesome to learn all about her and her part in the history of Ketchikan. I would highly recommend going if you have the opportunity.

Great place to visit with older kids. you get to see what life was like during the Alaskan gold rush for Working Women.

Fun place to visit for some colorful local history.The girls who work there are cute but push a bit hard for tips for selling you an entrance ticket.The tour itself is done by use of audio equipment running on a loop at each point of interest within the house.

Cozy and kitschy, Dollys House -- the home office of one of Ketchikans most successful female businesswomen -- is open for self-guided tours. The owner -- who earned up to a hundred times a day more than the men working in the area -- served up watered down drinks and, um, other distractions, turning her last trick in her seventies and living comfortably for two decades after that. Her possessions, furnishings, and some rather personal items are well-displayed here, and videos throughout the house help tell Dollys story with additional photos and factoids. A fun twenty minutes, easily within walking distance of the cruise ship pier.

Nice place to go look at and just very friendly people loved it

Good fun! The ladies give a great tour and explain much, much more about Dolly, her history and her philanthropic qualities that helped the local community. Time and money well spent!

Great portrait of a life in the beginning on last century

Did not see dolly until I fell in the water,!

Nice place represents all the old times in Alaska and how it used to be and very informative and the people running it dress the part

If you enjoy old historical places, you will enjoy Dollys House. We found the staff friendly and the house very interesting. Guys, you can unashamedly admit that you paid to visit a brothel. Your wife shouldnt mind.

One of the main places to take a picture of

That is life.

An interesting place to visit with a lot of colorful history. This was included as part of one of our tours. Its right at the beginning of Ketchikans Creek St. and is the last remaining brothel building in Ketchikan and possibly in Alaska too.

It has a lot of fun fact and history background, I would recommend to visit if you have time
