Clean and very comfortable. The bedding was quite nice - softest sheets!! The kitchen was well-stocked and everything was in good working order. Lovely, wooded neighborhood - very quiet and peaceful. We found the location to be quite convenient - it’s about a 10min drive to Safeway for groceries and just another 2-3min past that and you’re in downtown Seward.

Just what we needed

Great place to stay for us five adults! A short drive from Seward in the woods near a creek. Plenty of space to spread out, easy access and a fully furnished kitchen. Everything was tidy and exactly as described. The hosts were very helpful as well and we definitely recommend Tiehacker Lodging,

Perfect location. Everything you need!

This house was in the perfect location and was exceptionally clean with everything a family could need for a stay in the Seward area. The hosts live on property but were very hospitable and gave us privacy. There was plenty of parking, convenient to Seward, groceries, and amenities, and was easy to find. The beds were comfortable and encased in sealed mattress protectors. The kitchen was well stocked and there was a washer and dryer! We would definitely stay there again!

We really enjoyed our stay in Seward. The house was very large for us, 2 couples, with a nice size kitchen and dining room and a comfortable couch in the family room. The beds were very comfortable. I would highly recommend this place to other visitors!
