Woodland Retreat - Forested Home Outside City Limits Sleeps 7

This listing is under new management! See photos for past reviews.

This three bedroom, two bathroom sleeps (7) and is perfect for the family! With a large yard, great deck, BBQ grill and a fire pit you'll enjoy this cozy bungalow located just 5 miles from town. A full kitchen, cozy living room, and laundry make this property perfect for groups wanting to explore Seward. As our guest, we're here to help you explore Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park, offering discounts on many tours in the area!

Woodland Retreat sits on a large, private lot surrounded by trees, just a short drive from town bordering on state land. After a long day of play in the Seward area, the Retreat offers a comfortable place to relax. Games, books, WiFi and TV with Roku box are available for when it’s time to wind down or rest after a busy day.

The home and yard are yours to enjoy. There is one closet in the master suite that is locked to guests (we use it for storage of linens etc) as well as a tool shed in the backyard that is off limits, otherwise you are free to use the entire space.

There's a small cabin on property that is a separate nightly rental with its own parking. Please respect their privacy.

We do encourage guests to refrain from cooking fish inside the unit; however, we do provide a grill for outdoor cooking of your local catch. We do not allow processing of fish on property.

You will need to have a car if you are staying at Woodland Retreat. There is also a bike path that runs along the highway from town to just before the turnoff to Woodland Retreat and makes for a nice ride. Taxis are also available, but no other public transportation runs outside of town at this time.

As a free resource, my husband Clay, a local boat captain, and I are here to answer questions or help you book the perfect excursion to explore Seward and the surrounding Kenai Fjords National Park. We offer discounts on many tours to our guests.

Great place to stay!

This little cabin was perfect for our short stay in Seward. The location was great; nice, quiet, and cozy. The cabin was stocked well and very clean. Communication between us and the property owners was seamless. I would highly recommend this cabin if you're looking for a place to stay while you visit the Seward area.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay! Very clean with lots of extras!

Would definitely recommend this property of anyone visiting the area. Property was very clean and well stocked with everything you could need. Owner had many extras including snacks and coffee to make stay more enjoyable and a book full of information and recommendations about the area. Property was conveniently located to many activities in the area and then provided a great place to relax and enjoy family time after a busy day exploring Alaska! Loved our trip and our stay here.

Perfect for a family.

The home is perfect for a family of 6. It is even better than the listing. The kitchen had all amenities needed to make meals. The beds were comfortable and plenty of warm blankets to keep us southerners warm. The kids enjoyed playing in the snow in the yard. Close to all the activities in the area. Great place!

Excellent location for Seward area!

This property is one of the best VRBO's we've stayed at. Very clean and well decorated. The couch recliners were comfortable to relax in after a day hiking and touring the area. Kitchen and bathrooms were well supplied. Nice view of backyard fire pit and woods.
