Salted Roots Blue Door A-Frame Cabin

This glass-front Aframe cabin was completed March 5, 2020.

Its modern appeal includes a master bedroom downstairs, a loft bedroom upstairs, and a sofa couch in the living area for a comfortable max of 6 people.

The units also include a beautiful wet room, clawfoot tub, wood pellet stove, kitchenette, and private deck. Set 6 feet off the forest floor, this naturally lit cabin has an especially enchanting canopy view of Resurrection Bay.

Salted Roots Cabins offers 5 private nightly units.

The property is set on the beachfront of Lowell Point, and this cabin is set back in an old growth spruce forest, with fiddleheads, berries, and fireweed growing wild in summer.

Your space is modern, clean, and caters to the new generation of adventure travelers. We are remote without being remote. Come indulge in privacy will having all of the modern amenities you might need.

Guests have the entire glass-front cabin to themselves. There is also a shared sauna and firepit on property for guest use, as well as garden beds (feel free to use in your evening cooking in the summer months!). Private beach access across the street is also available to our guests.

Matt and KellyAnn are available to answer guest questions and provide recommendations for activities in Seward. The cabin includes its own personalized lockpad for self-check in, so guests do not need to interact with the hosts if they prefer privacy.

We want your experience to cater 100% of your needs, so we are available as often or as little as you'd like.

Great quiet location across the lane from Resurrection Bay. Full kitchen, great bathroom (especially showers and soaking tub), comfortable beds. Large window wall brings in the beauty of the area. Easy access to town yet a great way to step away

If you’re in Seward or the surrounding area, you should definitely stay at Salted Roots! The environment was so cozy and homey. The bathroom was exactly what you needed after a day on the trails. KellyAnne and Matt were very responsive whenever we had any questions. I would stay here again!!

Blue-Door

A beautiful property for those looking to explore Seward and the Kenai Fjords National Park. The Blue Door A-Frame was perfect for our party of 6. And the bathroom……..absolutely AMAZING! The owners of Salted Roots also own the Flamingo Lounge in Seward. By far the best Halibut during our 2 week stay in Alaska. We highly recommend this property and hope to return some day.

Beautiful accommodations!

Seward was our longest stay (4 nights) on our trip to Alaska and so glad it was in this beautiful blue door A-frame. We loved everything about it!! Clean, comfortable, simple and stylish. Enjoyed running into and talking to Matt about the property and getting some suggestions for that days drive to Kenai. Hope to stay here again in the future!

Lovely cabin, attentive owners

Generally, we had a great stay, and this was a decent base of operations for the Seward area. The cabin is fairly well-appointed, and a nice size for a family of four. The owners were helpful and quick with some small issues that did arise. I would add that this area south of Seward is busier than expected, and there was more car traffic on the Beach Road than expected. It is a nice cabin, but the activity in the area prevents it from being an oasis of calm.

What a lovely property!! We really enjoyed our stay and would go back tomorrow. The area around the home is trying to revitalize- and we always felt safe. The views are AMAZING from the Blue Door which we felt was the best of the cabins. Matt the owner has also opened the Flamingo Lounge in town and it was our favorite meal along with Ray's on the Water. Trust me - go there first - you will love the food and drinks!!! They were the BEST hosts!!!!!

Summer Vacation

I am so in love with the Red Door A Frame house we had for a week. I can't say enough about how fantastic it was for myself (42) and my two children ages 16 and 13. You can fish on the beach out front, have beach bonfires or a bonfire in the tall pines. After a long day of hiking or fishing going back to shower while preparing meals was absolutely amazing. The tub was used by all of us to relax those stiff muscles. I would like to go back annual. Fantastic location!

Perfection

This property did not disappoint. It was the absolute perfect home to rent while exploring Seward and Kenai-Fjords. The home is a perfect retreat in the woods with views of mountains. Also, just across the street is access to the bay, a lovely seating area for guests to enjoy the sights and sounds. There is a wood fired sauna and fire pit the family enjoyed. The house fit our family of 5 very well. That bathroom was a luxury every day. The best part of our entire trip! Thank you for sharing this home with us. We hope to return someday!

Great Alaskan Experience!

This house was awesome! We loved the views of the bay with the mountains on the other side. The sauna and firepit were used often. The shower was amazing. The overall style of the house was so unique. It was the perfect combination of outdoorsy and comfortable with several upscale touches. I have stayed in many VRBO homes. This is the first one where every bed in the house was comfortable. This unit worked out perfect because my family of 5 was in one unit and the family we travelled with (family of 6) was in the other unit. I highly recommend the blue and red cabins!

Great family getaway

We loved our stay at Salted Roots. The location is just far enough away from Seward that it is more relaxed and quiet. The house was amazing. Lots of attention to detail. Plenty of room to sleep and spread out during the day. Our kids LOVED walking across the road to the beach and played there for hours. The view out the front was breathtaking. The woods behind the property are magical. Communication with hosts was great. I think our only complaint would be that the kitchen was lacking a few simple amenities like a toaster and measuring cups. That didn’t stop us from having an amazing stay. We would definitely stay here again!!
