About this property

Private Cabin with Open Loft - Sleeps 3-6

Borealis Cabin is close to Lost Lake Trailhead and family-friendly activities. A hidden gem just three miles outside of Seward city limits. You’ll love it because of the high ceilings, the kitchen, the open floor plan, the comfy beds, and the coziness. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families.

This beautiful little loft cabin is nestled just off of a dirt road in the mountains about three miles outside of Seward city limits.

There is a full kitchen with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, and coffee pot. We offer a wireless sound system, complementary wifi and a 40" smart TV. The cabin also includes a Bar-B-Q grill on the back porch for outdoor grilling and a fire-pit for roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories. Please bring your own firewood for the fire pit and charcoal for grilling.

The cabin sleeps 3-6 in three queen sized beds. Be advised that two of the beds are located in the loft of the cabin. In order to access the loft one must climb a ladder like staircase. The third bed is on the first floor for those guests who are squeamish about heights. There are three queen beds in all. We ask that the host provide an accurate guest count at booking so that we may provide the appropriate amenities for each guest. Unfortunately, we can not host parties larger than 6 and pets are not allowed on the property.

The cabin is one of two identical cabins on our property. Your neighbor is also a guest of ours. Please be respectful of their stay by keeping late night noises to a minimum.

**Please note that the fire pit is subject to availability in winter months due to possibility of heavy snow.

We are located just off the Seward Hwy on a dirt road that is well maintained by the city of Seward during all four seasons.

There is private parking available for up to three vehicles next to your cabin. You are welcome to park a snow-machine trailer or small boat, but doing so will count as one of the three vehicles. Please allow plenty of room for the guests staying in the cabin next to yours to park and exit the driveway at all times. No RV parking or tent camping on the property.

The cabin is located just 1/4 mile from the Lost Lake Trailhead! Cross-country skiing, biking, and hiking is allowed on the shoulder of the road. Snow-machining to the trailhead from the cabin is also permitted. **Please note, there is not a private off-road trail from the cabin for skiing, hiking, biking, or snow-machining to the trailhead.

Other things to note;

SECURITY SYSTEM
The cabin has an active “Ring Doorbell” for securing the safety of our guests and property. The system is located to the left of the front door under the porch light and provides the owners a view of the front porch and driveway with audio.

EARLY CHECK-IN
Due to increased cleaning protocols we are unable to promise checkin times before 4:00 pm. Request for an early check-in must be communicated with the host through direct message only. Upon request, we are happy to let you know as soon as your cabin is ready on the day of your arrival.

CRIB/HIGHCHAIR REQUEST
If you would like to make use of our travel crib or highchair please request it before you arrive so that we can make sure it is in the cabin at check-in. Storage in the cabin is limited so we keep these items off site until needed.

WATER USAGE:
Your cabin uses a private well and septic system. Please conserve water whenever possible and never flush anything other than toilet paper.

About the host

Hosted by Meegan Miller

Host profile image
Hello Guests!

We are Tom and Meegan Miller. We met in Seward at a coffee shop downtown in 2014...

Tom grew up on a homestead located on Resurrection Bay just outside of the city limits. His family practiced the subsistence lifestyle and as a result Tom learned to fish, hunt and forage at a very young age. His maritime upbringing and passion for travel provided him with the opportunity to work on several research vessels. His employment with the US Antarctic Program, among other research contracts, took him from the Arctic ocean down to the furthest reaches of Antartica. He currently runs water taxis and fishing charters in Resurrection Bay from Lowell Point..

Meegan was visiting Alaska from New York City when she met Tom. She grew up in the mountains of Truckee, CA and immediately felt at home among the landscape of Seward. Before receiving her bachelor's degree in Interior Design, Meegan was an artist and actress. Her acting career took her from San Fransisco to Los Angeles and eventually landed her in Manhattan. Since relocating to Alaska, Meegan has begun her career as an Interior Designer and Event Planner. She has also enjoyed refining her sea-kayaking skills and never tires of hiking the trails surrounding her new home. She is always eager to share all that she loves about Seward with out-of-town guests.

We were married on the beach at Lowell Point in May of 2016 and joyfully welcomed our first daughter into the world in March of 2017. Today we are a family of four! Our second daughter was bon in October of 2018. Aurora Skies Lodging is not only a business and a dream to our small growing family, it is also our home. We live just across the property from where you will stay and are always available to answer your questions or supply you with an extra set of towels when needed.

We look forward to meeting you and showing you what we love about Alaska!

Sincerely,
The Millers
