Thank you so much for the lovely review I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay!
The Pepper Tree cabin was very comfortable, cozy, and well stocked. It’s located in a very quiet and beautiful setting, and it was only a few minutes from the town of Seward. We would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful little cabin and view was great! Breakfast was so nice. Thank you so much Tammy!!
The cabin was even better than expected. Lots of little amenities that made it a home away from home- breakfast, coffee creamer, kitchen supplies, (super cozy) bath robes, plenty of blankets, umbrellas, etc. We enjoyed the restful space and cozy atmosphere in a great location.

Thank you so much for the lovely review, Lydia, I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay!
We loved our stay here and our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer! The cottage is located near Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park so it was convenient to see the area and explore. We loved the size of the cottage. It was very comfortable for 2 people and we enjoyed having a full kitchen and fully stocked kitchen to cook some meals for ourselves.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! So happy you enjoyed your stay!
So cute , clean and the owner left us lots of little goodies like fresh blueberry muffins, yogurt, breakfast sandwiches, and microwave popcorn. Bed was comfortable and it was great to sit in front of the electric fireplace in the robe provided, after a long day hiking in the rain. Bonus was a beautiful view of the mountains. Could not ask for anything more!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review Donna, I’m so happy you enjoyed my cottage!
First time to cabin can be confusing with all the “ take a right, take a left” but it’s easy once you’ve driven it a couple times. The cabin was nicely decorated with flowers and goodie’s in the fridge for your enjoyment. Overall it’s a nice quiet cabin just outside of Seward.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. If the cottage wasn’t situated where it is, it wouldn’t have the amazing mountain views as you wrote in our guest book. I am a little surprised by your rating based on all the lovely things you wrote in the guest book and in your messages. Again, happy 40th anniversary.
Tammy was an amazing host! The property is very clean and catered to hosting guests. She had an easy, complimentary breakfast provided, robes, chocolates, coffee/tea, to-go cups, etc. Everything possible you could think of! When we arrived the cottage was warm and inviting with the fireplace already turned on, and mood lighting was set upon arrival as well. There was a fire pit and grill (we didn’t end up using since it was a quick trip). Follow Tammy’s directions because maps doesn’t work to get you there. Mato road isn’t labeled at the first turn (but should be able to tell the road continuing is more driveway like than road) The driveway is steep (but our little car made it during the summer months). This cottage is not wheel-chair accessible.

About the host
Hosted by Tammy Backus
I spent a summer in Seward 30 years ago and haven't left since! I've spent the last few decades loving Alaska and building out my home with my husband, kids, and grandkids. The cottage is our most recent project and I' excited to share it with you!
Why they chose this property
The Camelot neighborhood is very quiet and wooded. On just a short walk around the neighborhood, you’ll see lots of Alaskan flora and fauna, especially in late summer. You might even see some wildlife out enjoying our long summer days.
What makes this property unique
Our cottage is designed to be very unique with its antique-inspired accents and upscale decor. Pepper Tree Cottage has its own private driveway and is the perfect spot for two to enjoy a quiet stay. We proudly offer a complimentary continental breakfast for our guests and strive to provide the most cozy experience in town!
