Alaska Moose Trail Lodging - Private Retreat Sleeps 8

This three bedroom, two bathroom with sofa bed sleeps (8) and is perfect for the family! With a large yard, outdoor games, BBQ grill, fire pit and a lovely peony garden you'll enjoy this oasis located just 6 miles from town. A full kitchen, cozy living room, dining table, sunroom and laundry make this property perfect for groups wanting to explore Seward. As our guest, we're here to help you explore Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park, offering discounts on many tours in the area!

Once you enter the home from the lower parking area, everything is on one level. Two bedrooms with queen beds are separated by a full bath. The master bedroom contains a king and a full ensuite bathroom. The home has a main living room and a sun room with a queen pull out sofa bed. Laundry room, full kitchen and a large dining table are also perks. A large wrap around deck is a plus!

This private retreat features mountain and glacier views. Moose with newborn calves frequent the property in spring and graze on the raised-bed gardens and surrounding forest during summer. Hiking trails, salmon weir, salt-water fishing and fresh-water lake are minutes away. A 10 min drive to the Seward boat harbor and downtown, this property with its large lawn, decks and fire pit is perfect for outdoor relaxation. Plenty of parking for cars and sports-equipment trailers (boats, 4-wheelers and kayaks), this home is eco-friendly, with geothermal heating.

From the Seward train depot, this home is located a short taxi ride away, or a 2.5 hour scenic drive from the Anchorage airport.

We do encourage guests to refrain from cooking fish inside the unit; however, we do provide a grill for outdoor cooking of your local catch. We do not allow processing of fish on property.

Beautiful quiet location with mountain views and close proximity to Seward. It was very clean, bright, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. This was by far the best place we stayed during our time in Alaska. We took advantage of the electric 'fireplace' after getting damp and chilly from being out in the weather. The property also had a nice big yard and a fire pit. We 'borrowed' the cooler and ice pack one day that we took sandwiches and drinks for our outing. Another nice touch was the fresh flowers placed on the coffee table.

First Visit to Seward/Alaska

Loved staying at this wonderful quiet location. Clean, well appointed comfortable home away from home. Our hosts were extremely helpful and readily available to answer questions about the area. We loved Seward and what it had to offer. We hope to make it back in the future.

Amazing place to stay

The house was beautiful and comfortable. Location was great too. There’s a beautiful backyard and lots of games to play both indoor and outdoor. There were a few minor issues: problem with water drainage in the master bathroom, problems with the lock in the common bathroom. Overall it was a great stay.
