Great Location, Warm Host

The location was great. The food was wonderful, and our hostess was wonderful. The only pitfall was the height and size of the bed.

Beautiful view, friendly host

Great location. Easy walking. Beautiful view. Small, but charming. Full size bed just not large enough for those of us use to sleeping in a king.

Not a traditional B@B

It was in a great location. Very small room and cold breakfast put in your fridge. You eat in your room rather than in a central dining area. You basically only rent a room. You do not have use of the kitchen or living areas. Host was very friendly.

Misleading Listing

Listing said “dining room”. It was a card table sized table with two chairs IN THE bedroom. We sat on the sofa in the LR and were told that space was not included. So 4 days in a small bedroom with more than half the floor space taken up with the “dining room” Very disappointing!

Visit to Seward and Kenai Fjords national park

Beautiful area and park. Nice mountains, glaciers, lakes, hiking trails, and boats to park and wildlife, etc. Cute downtown area and good restaurants.

First time

This property was not the “bed and breakfast” we expected. The space was clean but very dated. The bathroom linens were showing their age especially. It felt more like a stay at “Aunt Lindas” , not a vacation B & B. Our host was very nice and upbeat, leaving us with a beautiful breakfast and good coffee. If your looking for a homier stay, this is your place!! If your a single woman looking for a safe place to stay, this is your place! If your a couple looking at a getaway, with relaxation or romance you might want to reconsider.

Only Guest

My husband and I were the only guest at this property. There was only one guestbook. I assumed there would be other guests. Mary Ann made wonderful breakfasts each day and left them in our refrigerator for us to eat in the morning. We just had to turn the coffee on and heat up our breakfast, so we could eat when we wanted. Mary Ann was very responsive and accommodating.

Seward treasure

Such a cute little home where your walking distance to everything! Very clean and there’s coffee and breakfast in the room every morning included in your stay. The host is super nice and friendly. And we enjoyed getting to talk with her about Seward and wildlife.
