One of our favorite experiences in our two week trip. Loved the attention to detail, including the fresh flowers and the already built and ready to be lit kindling in the fire pit. The little walk to the river bed was great for views . We'd stay get again.
A very peaceful spot with everything you would ever need perfect place for our daughter to get the rest she needed before running mountain marathon thank you for your kindness
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was well equipped and very comfortable. We enjoyed the comfortable seating on the porch and used the picnic table often.
Overall experience was great. Firewood, wine and fruits added a nice touch and location was wonderful. House had everything we needed. Will definitely recommend.
Cozy and welcoming! All needed items available. Close enough to seward but out enough to feel by yourself, neighborhood was quite and felt very safe to walk with children. Gorgous mtn/river views. So happy we stayed here!!
Beautiful remodeled home! Close to Seward, Exit Glacier, boat and outdoor tours. The kitchen had everything well stocked. Wildlife outside the window! Would totally stay here again!
Cozy comfy and spacious rustic lodge vibe.Beautiful pictures of animals on the wall.Well stocked kitchen.Owner was so helpful and kind.Couch and bed comfortable!Wonderful stay!
We stayed at the Alaska View Lodge for four nights while in Seward with my wife and three adult children and had a great time. The location is wonderful - 5 minutes to Seward makes it close to all of the activities there, but removed enough to feel out on your own a bit as well - out enough we got to watch a mama moose and her two calves grazing right in the backyard - amazing! We also saw salmon a five minute drive away at the Salmon Weir. Very clean, well stocked (in fact, extremely well stocked!) kitchen - how many VRBO's have a meat thermometer? Beds are great, two full bathrooms are also great. Great communication, very helpful host with suggestions for the area etc. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Seward and it were available. Great stay, great host, great property, great location!
We loved staying at Bear Creek. Great location, comfortable, well equipped and clean cabin, great host that was easy to communicate with. We would definitelystay here again
We had a great time staying at Ian’s place! The home was so cozy and well stocked. It was a great “home base” for adventuring and for having a chill evening.
We enjoyed our stay and were so comfortable in our lovely home away from home! Clean and well supplied with all the necessities, it was such a comfy place to enjoy our visit to Seward. This trip was a repeat for me but a first for my dear friends, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it!
This was perfect for our needs. It had everything you would need and a comfortable atmosphere. We appreciated the personal touches that were included. We would definitely stay again!
Stopped off in Seward for a couple of days while road tripping on the peninsula. This home is in a great location. Good views from the house. Clean. Great property and only a short drive to town.
Great location & peaceful! Very clean & well stocked. Loved staying in Seward - fishing 🎣, kayaking, and hiking.

About the host
Hosted by Ian Mudd
I first fell in love with the beauty of Alaska nine years ago and have been hooked ever since. During my time in Alaska I have worked many different jobs (Merchant Marine, Welding, Oil Industry, Carpentry) that have afforded me the opportunity to visit many different places in Alaska. After experiencing all this beauty I still feel Seward is the most beautiful of all! I am originally from Rhode Island and graduated from the International Yacht Restoration School in Newport, Rhode Island. I am a sailor by trade. My hobbies are fishing, exploring Alaska's coastal waters, hiking, woodworking and using my sawmill! I look forward to showing my guests the beauty of Alaska!
Why they chose this property
The views! From this house you get a clear unobstructed view of Mt Alice and the entire Chugach range! Godwin glaciers is also clearly visible, its crystal blue color calms your soul and clears your mind! Also, we have abundant wildlife with moose, bear, otters and rabbits visiting often. The house is also conveniently located about 5 miles to the center of Seward and 3 miles to the small boat harbor. Exit glacier is 7 miles away and most other activities are very close. Stoney Creek zipline is less than a mile from our cabin! We are also really excited about a new business located within one mile that is extremely interesting...Stoney Creek Brewery! .
What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is all the amenities inside as well as outside! The property is well suited for a family and secluded yet close to town.....you definitely don't have that "hotel" feeling, it gives you a sense of home. Additionally, as a established "local" I can provide you many insights the "average" traveler will never know about! Outside there is a large fire pit area and ample firewood....great for sharing the days stories and some smores! Located on the back of the property is a glacier fed stream that provides excellent views all the way to Resurrection Bay!
