Clean, vintage property in the heart of Seward
We enjoyed our stay at this property and our overall trip to Alaska. This place is nestled conveniently and is easy to get to. It also has close access to Kenai Fjords and the surrounding community. We were very pleased with the property. Everything was clean and you can't beat being right near everything. We'd stay here again!

Great location and cute house!
I stayed in Seward for a couple days with my 2 kids. This was a perfect property. Plenty of space and sleeping options so I could separate my trouble makers. The house was cute, well equipped, clean and easy to access. The location was fantastic, we walked into town for everything. Would absolutely recommend!

Downtown Seward
The property’s location is ideal, being just a few blocks from the Sea Life Center, close to restaurants, and a 1 mile drive from the glacier cruise area. The house is very old, but we found that to be a fun look back to the past. There was plenty of room for our family, as there is a bunk room with many single beds upstairs, in addition to the two bedrooms on the main floor. The kitchen had plenty of bowls, cups, silverware, etc. Really enjoyed our time here!

Exploring Alaska with our mom
The property owner, Eugen, was great to work with. The house was warm and inviting when we arrived. The bedding and linens were top notch and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had quality tools and even a ton of little extras that make it easier to cook when on the road. So happy with our choice to stay here in Seward.

Great stay! SUPER RESPONSIVE host
We arrived to find all that was promised! The property was clean, cozy, and completely wonderful. On day 2 we had a small issue with the doorknob, I text the host, he text me back and came over to fix the issue within 20 minutes! I was super impressed! We had a great stay, the location was excellent. We totally recommend this property!

Liked it.
Overall it worked well for a family of 6. Only thing that would have been nice is a second bathroom with 6 of us. Its close to downtown and still in walking distance of the docks. Like other reviews we also noticed the house is not level and the stairs are steep, but neither was a big deal for us. I would definitely rent again if in the area.

The house was cute, clean, great location, had everything we needed in the kitchen. Bathroom was well appointed, plenty of towels, shampoo etc. Cons: lack of wi-fi was a real issue as we lacked signal alot of the time. Also the 3rd BDRM, cozy & clean, with 6 twins is accessible by very steep stairs. Bathroom is downstairs.

A perfect way to relive the past but with some modern convenience
This house was built in 1920, which allows us to experience earlier settler life. The host is really nice and accommodating, he even heated the house prior to our arrival. There were some modern convenience that were added since 1920, such as microwave, shower, and electric stove/oven. While there is no TV, the house is 1/2 block from town, a couple blocks from the shoreline park, aquarium, etc. If you have a car (or use Taxi), there are a lot of places to tour (boat and land) and see. Despite not having a washer, dryer, or dishwasher, the laundromat is close by and not busy. I highly recommend this place!

Just What We Needed
We had a group of eight people and waited a little too long to book a suitable house for this size group. We wound up booking a larger, more modern house nearby and this house. We used the other house for all our cooking/dining and this house worked great as a bunkhouse for five of us. It can sleep a lot of people but given only one bathroom and a small kitchen space, it's really best suited for 4 people max. Again, it worked great as a bunkhouse for our group and we were very happy with it. Location and communication from owner/manager was great.
