The historic relics and decor reminding of Alaska's history and the historic building itself. The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. I enjoyed the views from the living room windows. I wish I had more time to relax in the lodging but I was too busy enjoying Alaska. Conveniently located as well. I would definitely stay there again.

Great location

We stayed two nights. Very easy to walk to the water, just two minutes from the Sea Life Center, many restaurants. The owner communicated very quickly. The living space is large and one bedroom is fairly roomy. The room with twin beds is a little tight. Great views from both sides of the house!

About the host

We moved to Alaska 24 years ago for a couple of years and never left! We have raised four Alaskan Kids here and love Seward and Alaska. You will too!

Why they chose this property

My wife and I purchased this home because we fell in love with its fascinating history, location and feel. We could imagine ourselves here in 1905 and wanted to restore and honor this important part of Seward and U.S. History. Right next to library and two blocks from the part and waterfront.

What makes this property unique

Views and walking distance to everything!, period decor, amazing views, proximity to the waterfront, charm and coziness.
