House was very clean and very nicely decorated. We appreciated all the information in the notebook. It is in a quiet wooded neighborhood, but not far from Seward.

If I had a home this nice, I don’t think I’d ever rent it! REALLY beautiful! I wish our whole party could have stayed there - but most of our large party was there and didn’t want to leave. The place has everything. It’s all anyone could ask for. Grateful to the owners!

Peaceful home

We loved our 4-night stay in this beautiful home!! It's spotlessly clean, kitchen is fully equipped and we found the beds were super comfortable. Just a short drive into town for such a peaceful retreat in the woods!! Loved watching the hummingbirds - we didn't want to leave and would return if ever in Seward area again!
