Perfect guesthouse!

My husband, ten year old and I spent five nights in this lovely house and had a wonderful time. It was such a nice place and well laid out, with a stunning view. Shirley’s communication was excellent and we had zero problems while there. We would absolutely stay here again!

Quaint home just outside of Seward. The listing was accurate and communication was exceptional. The house had everything we needed. We loved the layout. I didn't realize when booking that this had a unit below, but there were no issues with neighbors. The host provided grill, firepit, games, and several kitchen amenities. I would highly recommend!

This cute home is only a stone's throw from "downtown" Seward, with easy main-road access and ample parking. Understand that there is only a single bedroom with a door that closes. The bed upstairs, in a low-ceiling loft, was perfect for the kids, but we had to turn off the lights in the kitchen and living room and be very quiet until they fell asleep because of the light and sound bleed. The final bed is the convertible couch in the living room. All of the beds were comfortable. The kitchen is an excellent size with plenty of amenities. Wifi is strong, but the uplink is satellite internet; large uploads (eg, pushing photos to dropbox or amazon pictures) WILL fill the pipe and kill the connection. Definitely check this place out if you need somewhere overnight before your Royal Caribbean southbound Alaska cruise -- or for somewhere to stay a few days after your northbound one!

This home was great for our family. The steps upstairs to the loft bed were a little tricky but otherwise everything was great. A nice little view of the mountains out the kitchen window and a short drive to downtown Seward. The host was very accommodating as well.

Very clean and modern stay

This was a perfect stay very near to Seward, and all of its attractions. The property was very clean and modern and comfortable. The house clearly put a lot of thought into this place for travelers, who may have never been to Alaska before. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the Seward area.

Perfect spot for hiking and fishing

We just spent three nights at the Lost Lake - Seward House cabin and had a wonderful stay. Perfect size for four of us (two couples) and great location for fishing trips out of Seward and hiking Exit Glacier and nearby trails. The cabin was exceptionally clean, the beds comfortable and we enjoyed two relaxing evenings by the fire pit. We will be back!

Beautiful views , charming home

We loved our stay at this beautiful Seward Cabin . It was close enough to town to be convenient but far enough away to be out of the masses. We loved all the thoughtful touches through out. Especially appreciated the Roku stick on the tv for some movie viewing.
