Perfect Escape!
Charming piece of Alaska nestled on a pretty lake, it is conveniently located yet truly makes you feel you’re one with the wilderness. Owners take meticulous care to ensure your stay is enjoyable! So glad we came for the week, and only wished we’d stayed for two!

Stunning lakefront property close to Seward
Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, so much so that we didn’t want to leave! Cathy was an absolute pleasure to deal with and always quick to respond to my questions. The house was immaculate and had many thoughtful and welcoming touches. My teens enjoyed their “separate” space upstairs but there was more than enough room for us to hang out together downstairs. We made use of the kayaks and had so much fun watching the eagles and salmon. Seward was just a short drive away when we wanted to head into town. I can’t say enough about this property. It was by far our favorite rental ever!

Lovely lake view, even at the end of "shoulder season"!
Great property that has everything you need and nothing you don't. I came here with my dad for a short father-daughter trip and we loved it. Would love to come back with the whole family - this would be a perfect place for kids and adults alike.

Location, location!
Our family of 6 adults and 3 kids stayed for 4 days at this beautiful lakefront home. We found the 2 apartment setup worked very well for us with the family with 2 younger ones staying downstairs. The house was tastefully decorated with comfortable furnishings. The kitchens were well equipped. We ate dinners on the porch watching loons and eagles. We all used the kayaks each day with a bear sighting on one paddle and families of ducks and loons every day. The hosts were very easy to deal with, answering questions before arrival and immediately replacing a tank for the grill. The home let us really enjoy the great outdoors of Alaska. I highly recommend this home.

Amazing Cabin on Bear Lake
My family and I had an awesome time in the Seward area and this cabin was clean, functional and had the most amazing view on Bear Lake. We saw moose, loons and other wildlife. Would definitely recommend this place. We had 9 people and it worked great!

Fishing weekend
Awesome property, had everything you need for an extended stay. Beautiful setting on the lake and everything you need from kayaks to coolers and anything you need. Beds were extremely comfortable and had plenty of sleeping area for a large party. Owners were very very nice and took great care of us. Highly highly recommend. All we could have asked for.
