About this property

Ravenwood Retreat: an Alaskan forest hideaway at the end of the road.

  • Welcome to the Ravenwood Retreat outside of Seward, Alaska. Our property is right next to the Iditarod Trailhead, is bordered by a glacier fed river, and surrounded by undeveloped public lands. We love this property because there's a large private yard surrounded by old growth forest, peek-a-boo mountain views on clear days, and we enjoy watching local birds nesting around the property. This is the perfect Alaskan retreat for families!

    The space
    This property has an open living room that looks out on to the expansive yard and neighboring forest. The kitchen is fully appointed with everything you could need to prepare full meals for a group, with a dining room surrounded by local Alaskan artwork.
    The three bedrooms are clean, comfortable, and have great natural light. The master bedroom has a bathroom ensuite to enjoy, while the other two rooms share a bathroom. There are a variety of Alaskan visitor guides, board games, and Alaskan books to enjoy in the China cabinet.

    Guest access
    Our guests have access to the entire house and our acre of yard. Guests do not have access to the garage and outlying sheds in the yard.

    Other things to note
    We are 10 minutes away from the nearest grocery stores in the area: Safeway and Seward Market Place. We highly recommend that our guests consider buying food in Anchorage before coming down to Seward as our grocery stores are small and inventory can run out without notice.
    At the house we will provide some basic amenities like salt, pepper, cooking spray, coffee, tea, and sugar.

    Please remember that Seward is in a temperate rain forest and the summers here are mild if not cold at times. We highly recommend our guests to dress in layers, bring a waterproof jacket, hat, gloves, and anything else that is your preference that will keep you warm. Alaska is not the place to dress to impress but a place where it is very important to dress appropriately for the weather. Although the sun maybe shining, viewing a glacier will not be warm...ever. Keep that in mind while you're packing and planning your outings.

    Secure keypad access provided to all registered guests 24 hours prior to your arrival.

    Wifi is available and we also have a smart TV in the living room for you to enjoy your favorite shows and movies.

    If you drive an electric vehicle there is a free charging station at the Seward Chamber of Commerce. Charging of electric vehicles is not allowed on rental property.

Beautiful home and serene location. The home had everything we needed. The couch was large and could fit our entire family on it. Large kitchen and dining room. There was a great Blackstone Grill we could use. The property is just a few minutes from town. It was very easy to get to Seward.

This is honestly one of my favorite VRBO houses that we have ever stayed in. It fit our needs perfectly. We had 4 adults and 2 children, my family of four and my husbands parents. It is a nice layout with large rooms. There was plenty of space to leave suitcases in the bedroom floor. Enough space for everyone to sit comfortably in the living room. Well stocked kitchen. Laundry room was a dream, we had lots of dirty clothes and were down no clean clothes. Communication was top notch. We came at the beginning of June and it got really warm one day. We couldn’t find a fan. We called and the owner came right over and got them out of the garage for us. The location was great, just a short 10ish minute drive to downtown Seaward. Can’t recommend this house enough.

Great location with enough room for everyone to spread out. We enjoyed being close enough to Seward for food and excursions, while having more space and a quiet environment. Seward in general was one of our favorite areas. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay! Comfortable beds and well stocked amenities. Quiet and beautiful area. The best part was getting to see a moose with two babies AND a grizzly with two babies! Wow. Would definitely stay again.
