The only issue we had was it was raining a lot, so there was 4-5” of standing water keeping us from getting into the cabin, but I was on a fishing trip so I had water boots, no big deal for me but maybe for some people it may be something to consider if you’re not familiar with the climate.

Darling quiet yurts in the forest with everything you need, heaters in yurts, outdoor sinks, showers with plenty of space, hairdryers, a huge kitchen with fridges, grills, tables to chill and cook - great for cyclists, travelers and people who want different experience.

The yurts were very cozy, cute, comfortable and nicely decorated. The area around the yurts was magical at night with white lights in the branches of the forest trees that light your way along the path to the bathrooms, or open-air kitchen. The Nauti Otter Inn is in a secluded, beautiful & forested neighborhood with nice homes on large lots that is tucked away from road noise. What a find close to Seward, Alaska.

Wonderful Experience! Clean cozy sleeping areas and beautiful kitchen. Fun theme of Pirates in the Hostel. Staff super helpful and friendly, and such a great way to meet people from all over the world wanting to visit Alaska. Close and convenient to town and the glacier hike and even church on Sunday. Great Experience, Will return soon!

Not exactly what we expected.
During the reservation process, we were under the impression we would be getting a private yurt. Instead, we had the room immediately adjacent to the kitchen inside the house with very very very thin walls. The pillows were horridly deflated and flat. That said, the room was clean, the mattress firm, and the full house of guests were quiet by 11 pm.

Ah, where to begin with this gem of a hostel? The prices rival those of a mid tier hotel, so naturally, you would expect the basics of customer service. The staff here are a special breed. They greet you with an air of disdain, making sure you know you’re lucky they allowed you to book a room. And the hospitality doesn't end there! They generously share their germs, coughing and sneezing with wild abandon. I inquired about their health and two staffers proudly admite to being sick with a cold or a flu. One of them saying “we are all sick here” (Adrianne, I think?) Despite numerous polite requests to wear masks or, heaven forbid, take a sick day, they heroically refused rolling their eyes. After all, what better souvenir could there be than a flu on your flight home? As a cherry on top, you have to clean the bathrooms after you shower. Nothing says "vacation" like scrubbing tiles and wiping down surfaces while trying not to slip on the still-wet floor. Why would the very ill staff do anything when YOU can play housekeeper? And don’t forget your earplugs, the $200/night yurts are next to a noisy highway. Bring your hand sanitizer, medical kit, cleaning supplies and you should be good to go!

Nauti but Nice
Nauti Otter was a quaint place. Accommodations were good. I’m guessing not for everyone. Good place to rest your head after a long day hiking, kayaking, fishing. Showers are unconventional you put your name on a time. Make your own waffles and pancakes were great. Also had oatmeal. Bring your own food to cook if you want. We would stay again.

This place was exactly as advertised. It was a neat hostel environment with clean options for showers and baths and a full kitchen for coffee, breakfast and cooking. It was a family atmosphere with a great on site host. Our cabin was tiny but all we needed with lots of character. We would stay again.
