"Such a GREAT location in the city end of Seward. Walking distance between the shore, restaurant choices, bike/walking path, and a covered stop for the free shuttle (has 14 stops) to get around the Seward area which consists of City and Harbor areas."
"This was a wonderful, relaxing place to stay. The location was quiet but also conveniently close to Seward. Nicole’s breakfasts were wonderful, and she was so kind and helpful with local suggestions. Would absolutely stay here again!"
"Amazing location where you can see the mountain from the room window. There is a common space to sit outside and also they provide coffee in the morning. Staff is very friendly and nice. Rooms are decently spacious."
"The only thing I will comment on is the office didn't open until 8 am. We noticed the evening we checked in that they served cinneminn rolls, however they didn't open by 8. I thought they would have as they are close to the Kenai River. I though they would have fisher-people using the facilities."
"Our room was a rustic retreat! We loved the whole resort that had an exceptional welcoming front desk staff.
Our room was comfy. A bit dated but that’s the rustic retreat look that made it feel so cozy. There’s a wood fire stove in the room but we didn’t use it because it was so warm that evening.
Breakfast and dinner was very good!! I ordered a soup and did not like it, my husband loved his. They brought me something else and were so nice about it."
"This cabin exceeded every expectation — the pictures simply don’t capture how charming and comfortable it really is. The bed was incredibly cozy, the coffee provided was top‑notch, and every detail in the cabin made it feel like a true retreat. We had everything we needed and felt instantly at home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seward."
