Clean, cozy and cute cottage. Great location for walking to downtown eateries and gift shops. We enjoyed staying in town as opposed to out of town. The Harbor was just a few minutes drive away. The host was prompt and clear in her communications with us. Check-in was a breeze. We would stay here again!.

Enjoyed our stay in Alaska & experienced the surrounding wilderness. Property is conveniently located walking distance to shops & readily accessible to free Seward bus shuttle. Added boat excursion via Wild Fjord Tours providing small group tour to explore the Kenai Fjords National Park with boat captain Logan, who was not only extremely knowledgeable but was able to track down wildlife including humpback whales, stellar sea lions, sea otters, bald eagles, puffins, mountain goats etc.. & experienced the Holgate glacier calving where large chunks of ice covered two caves. Wildlife & weather all contributed to an amazing experience in Alaska!
