Perfectly situated far enough from town to enjoy the peace and quiet and close to the adventures Alaska has to offer.

Full kitchen in the apartment, super comfortable bed, a large bathroom with a w/d, dining room, and living room with sofa bed, as well as grill and firepit outside. Relax and enjoy Eagles that frequent the trees around the house! The apartment has blackout curtains so that you wont be awakened by the sun in the super early morning.

The Hall way leading to the cabin smelled like weed. The cabin itself was good. Decently clean. The sleeping arrangement for 4 people was difficult one but manageable. I would give a 3.5/5 rating for this place. It was very close to all the stores and activities. The weed smell was hard to get over with for us every time you enter or exit the place.

I am sorry. I have an indoor greenhouse in that separate room where I grow tomatoes, okra, squash, various peppers, and cucumbers. I guess they can smell like weed? I do run an air purifier in there but will try to do better at cutting the greenhouse smells. Thank you for your constructive feedback.

Advertised as close to a spring and could be heard from site. Was not heard. While nice and clean the sofa bed in the apartment was extremely uncomfortable. Laundry was nice and kitchen was fine.

The fish weir is 1/2 mile past the house. The stream is 20 feet from edge of property. You could have contacted us to show you. We hear it well as we live in the cabin on property. Guests love to watch the salmon swim upstream. We also had a 3" memory foam mattress to put on sofa bed which greatly improves the comfort. I leave my phone number on the information sheet so that people can contact us with any questions or concerns. Thank you for staying. Elyssa

What a great property for our state in Seward. You are close to town. Also, as an added bonus, there is a salmon weir very near the house and it was fun watching the salmon jump. Everything you need is provided at the property. Incredibly well stocked kitchen. Very comfortable living room room and eating area. Love having the washer and dryer as well. Highly recommend this place.

Nice kitchen

Nice spot. Plenty of room for the three of us to retreat after a busy day. Large kitchen! Host was quick to respond when I asked for a set of sheets for the third person and also fixed the bathroom door (it wouldn't close). You can hear the folks and TV from the apartment above.

Alaska country home

The host was very responsive helpful with telling us about the area. Where to shop for food, what to do that interested us. They have a great spot to BBQ if you choose. We rented the lower apartment it had everything you would need to cook if you chose to. Clean friendly and fun. Walking distance to Bear Creek watched the salmon run the creek. Very quiet location.

Quiet location just outside downtown Seward

Pleasant basement apartment with one bed and two futons. Kitchen looked well-appointed (we didn't use). Washer was broken but owner brought us a new one, which was appreciated! Owner offered hiking suggestions and bear spray. There was a smell of cats in the entry areas, but not in the unit itself.

Thank you for staying with us! I appreciate your review and while we have never had a cat I am wondering if my indoor greenhouse (Seward is not a good garden area so i grow veggies inside) gives off a smell that can be mistaken for cats. I will have to figure out a different place for my veggies! Thank you for your feedback!

Good value; comfortable space.

4 adults, although 2 slept outside in their Sprinter van. Unsure whether the small sofa bed would be comfortable for adults, but should be fine for children. There was an extra mattress in the closet which may make it more comfortable. There were some large stains on the sofa. The main bedroom bed was very comfortable.Nice large, well equiped kitchen. The shower is small, but adequate. There were only 2 bath towels and washcloths in the bathroom. We did not request more as we had extra in our Sprinter van. All in all we had a very enjoyable stay and would stay here again. Elyssa was very responsive to any questions that we had.

Sorry about only being two towels. I usually leave for all guests but I guess I thought yours was a two person stay so I apologize for that. Stains on little sofa have been steam cleaned but seem to wanna just be there. And yes, the mattress in the closet is for the sofa bed because I know it’s not very comfortable so we leave the extra memory from down there to make it comfortable. Thank you for staying and I’m glad you enjoyed your stay
