Excellent place to stay! Clean, spacious, awesome yard with lots of games for the kids to play. I would highly recommend this place to any family coming to the area.
Stayed in this lovely home for a few days while exploring Seward! Hosts were super responsive and had great communication, fun games in the yard and a perfect relaxing get away
The property was great. Accuracy the listing was perfect. Tons of things to do outside, for us though it was raining. Would have liked to have stayed longer and would definitely stay again..
Plenty of room for five people, very functional floor plan. Maybe the best stocked rental we’ve had, from the kitchen to the outdoor play equipment. Very clean and modern. Highly recommend!
We had a great stay at this house near Seward.
It was close enough to town for shopping, touring and restaurant meals. Nice house in good condition with everything provided.
The property was perfect for a small family gathering. Lots of outdoor space and games. Close to downtown. Would definitely recommend this property to friends and family.
Great location. Good communication. Quick response to questions. Very comfortable beds. Well stocked with necessities. Enjoyed entire stay. Would definately recommend to anybody visiting Seward.
Loved staying at this wonderful quiet location. Clean, well appointed comfortable home away from home. Our hosts were extremely helpful and readily available to answer questions about the area. We loved Seward and what it had to offer. We hope to make it back in the future.
Property is nicely located near Seward, just off the main highway. It was perfect for our family of 6. Owners are next door. Extremely nice people. Home was everything we could hope for and worked out very well for our week stay.
Thank you making our stay so memorable!
The house was beautiful and comfortable. Location was great too. There’s a beautiful backyard and lots of games to play both indoor and outdoor. There were a few minor issues: problem with water drainage in the master bathroom, problems with the lock in the common bathroom. Overall it was a great stay.

Hi Ashwini, thanks for your feedback. Can you elaborate on the issues you mention as we were not made aware or given the chance to correct during your stay. Feel free to DM me so we can make sure things get resolved.
The property was the perfect home away from home. It was clean, comfortable, and welcoming! There were lots of little extras like individual toothbrushes with toothpaste, snacks in the kitchen and ice cream bars in the freezer!
Communication from the host and property managers was on time and detailed
The best start to our Alaska vacation!
5 minute drive to downtown, with soooo much to do. The place is modern, well kept, roomy with a well stocked kitchen.
The only thing we didn't like is we missed the Moose walking through the yard.
Excellent choice
5 star
It was relaxing fun enjoyed our daily activities and our visitors the bunnies so cute
Thank you for your hospitality and all the goodies..

We were so impressed with the attention to detail we found in this immaculate home. The kitchen was stocked not only with plenty of dishes and glasses but also snacks, coffee, and spices. The spacious yard and many outdoor toys called to the children to play outside in spite of the rain. Inside, the board games in the sunroom kept them occupied. We enjoyed the quiet of the forest, yet were only a short drive from town. We will be back.
Hosts were very easy to work with making reservations. They happened to be outside when we pulled in and greeted us warmly. They could not have been nicer. The work they did inside made the setting homey, clean and inviting. Everything we needed was available. We hope to return and highly recommend considering staying here.
