A great place to stay for a Alaska nature retreat with the lake right in front of your cabin door! The cabins are brand new and very clean. We would have loved to stay longer.

We stayed in cabin 4, aka the fun cabin. It has lake view and it was gorgeous. Really enjoyed our stay here. There is no wifi in the cabin; only in the office.

This place was the perfect place for solitude and family connection. The little cabin was efficient and perfectly appointed. It felt secluded, but it was just a short drive to Seward, which is fun and vibrant. I almost cried when we left and I vow to return one day. Side note: there was mention in the description of no cell service unless you have Verizon, but our Spectrum service there worked perfectly—even though you should not want to be on a phone in such a special place.

The property was amazing. Gary and his team pay attention to every detail which results in sn unbelievable experience.
The location is good, about 25 min from Seward. The property is ok but falls short on many amenities. Good for a quick night stay but would not recommend for a longer stay.

The host of this property was extremely helpful to us. We could not stay at his property because of an accident. The host went out of his way to find us an alternative property in town and covered the difference in price! He made sure that his guests are taken care of. I am very grateful.

Charming cabin and location
Great place to launch hikes, visits to downtown Seward and fjord/whale tours from. Lovely view of the lake from the kitchen and loft. It was so quiet and tranquil. A perfect place for a couple's or family getaway. The cabin was well stocked and had a modern interior. The host was very communicative and accommodating. I would definitely visit again.
