Best VRBO experience to date!!

Scott was great with communication and gave a great list of recommendations! We loved the cabin and being along the river. If we could we would stay the whole summer. We were welcomed with a nice little note on a custom postcard with a picture of the home. My daughter is an avid birder and Scott gave her peanuts to feed the stellar jay’s and magpie. We also watched the Bald Eagle family (mom,dad and juvenile). We watched them catch fish and eat them. This property is wonderful being just outside of Seward with access to all the major attractions.

Great Place to Stay in Seward

My husband and I stayed at the Bear & Berry Lodge as part of our first visit to Alaska. It was just as described and in a great location about a 10 minute drive from all of the activities and restaurants in Seward. The cabin was cozy, clean and inviting, and the owner was very helpful and always responsive. Great place to stay in Seward.

Exceptional stay, Great host, Beautiful location

We stayed for 3 nights in Sweard at the Bear and Berry Lodge. Scott the Host was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and accommodating. He has a wealth of hunting and fishing knowledge and connected us with a vetted local guide for salmon fishing. We had a great time.

Beautiful cottage away from the bustle of Seward

My son and I had a wonderful stay here. It was so nice to come back to the peace and quiet after adventuring in the Seward area each day. We saw resident bald eagles each evening, and just missed out on seeing a bear cub. The property was spotless and had everything we needed. The owner had great suggestions on things to do in the area, and was super nice when we briefly met him on our way out. Great stay here! Would recommend.

Fishing, hiking and lots of relaxing

If you are looking for a great place the is quite but close to town this is it. We were close enough to town, hiking trails and fishing to enjoy all the amenities yet able to escape the hustle when we were at the house. We had a family of 4 stay here with no problems. We enjoyed looking out at all the animal everyday!! Hope to make this a yearly trip!! Thank you Scott and Melanie!!

Beautiful and convenient location

We loved this cozy cabin. They have big windows looking out on a creek and we watched bald eagles and other wildlife wander through. The cabin itself is well appointed- we were able to make whole meals here, especially with the bbq. It’s only a six minute drive to town yet feels secluded. We’d stay here again.

A truly Alaskan experience

Such a charming cabin! It truly felt like Alaska with all the furnishings and the view out the windows was the best. We loved watching the bald eagles fly over the creek. If it hadn't rained our entire time, I would have loved to spend most of my time on the deck, listening to the creek and watching the birds. The location was top notch. In a very quiet neighborhood and yet, not that far from Seward. I can't recommend enough!

Amazing property with great hosts!

We recently spent a few days at Bear Creek, and the stay was phenomenal. The back deck overlooks the creek, and there were many eagles flying around to keep us entertained. Scott and Melanie were extremely friendly, helpful, and gracious hosts. I would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the Seward area.

Best Place to Stay in Seward!

What an amazing experience! Scott was a gracious host, with helpful communication before and throughout our stay. We loved the location, being close enough for a quick trip into downtown Seward but secluded enough to enjoy the true Alaska. Especially loved the stream filled to the brim with salmon just outside the front door!
