Man has always been captivated by the magnificence of mountains. If you find yourself drawn to the magic of high peaks and stunning vistas, a climb up Mount Marathon is not to be missed.

Situated in Seward, this steep landmass is worth a look. But you'll find a great deal more to check out in the area. Alaska SeaLife Center, Lowell Point State Recreation Site, and Seward Community Library & Museum are within close reach of Mount Marathon.

8.6/10 Excellent! (29 reviews)

We enjoyed the size of the room and convenience for accessing all the fishing spots. We would recommend to have on hand some paper towels and extra trash bags. The decor in the room was perfect, gave the place a real ‘home away from home’ feeling! We would definitely return next year! Thank you for the opportunity to stay!

9/10 Wonderful! (741 reviews)

The room was great and loved that it was a bit out of town but not too far. The only contact with the staff was about the low battery in the door and they replaced it immediately. Would definitely stay here again.
