Great spot and amazing open floor plan. If you are in need of darkness when you sleep there are a lot of windows and no shades or black out curtains. Nice to have a washer and dryer in bathroom. One complaint is that there is no shower. Tub only.

We had a great time at the cabin. It is super close to the grocery store in Seward as well as very close to the Seward boat launch for Glacier cruise and just a few minutes drive to Exit glacier hike! I will definitely be staying here again the next time I’m in Seward.
