Convenient lodging
This apartment was spacious and in a convenient location. The wifi worked well and the yard was nice for the kids to play in. It was also nice having a laundry room available. However, I was disappointed that the bathroom and kitchen weren't clean at time of check in. I ended up clorox wiping them down to clean.

Convenient access to Seward and Kenai Peninsula
The best aspect of this property is its location. We really wanted to visit the Kenai National Park on foot and by boat. We enjoyed being tourists in Seward, visiting the small shops, coffee houses, Aquarium and had a nice seafood dinner. The property was functional but less inviting compared with other properties we stayed in. For example, on entering the property there is a rather small area to remove shoes (Alsakan practice) with a metal folding chair. The first night was chilly, and the comforters were too light for us. We had to take a blanket from the living room and found another in the laundry room to keep warm. The bathroom was quite small for our group of 5. Nonetheless, given the options for accommodations in the area and the access the property provided to this part of Alaska, I don't regret staying there.

Great location, clean, great hosts
This home is the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed. Very comfortable and spacious. It is a perfect location if you like to hike and enjoy nature as it is a short walk to some nice trails. The hosts are very nice and accommodating. It is also a short drive to Seward which is a great town and the center for all your activities. I will stay here again.

Very functional stay!
We really enjoyed our stay in Seward. The house was very large for us, 2 couples, with a nice size kitchen and dining room and a comfortable couch in the family room. The beds were very comfortable. I would highly recommend this place to other visitors!

We booked Melissa's place for a workshop that was being held in Seward. Worked out better than a hotel because everyone had their own bedroom but was able to get to know each other in the communal areas. Place was very neat and the setting was beautiful. Thanks for letting us share your home!

Beautiful place inside and out. We loved the close walk to the salmon weir, and a short drive to Seward. The apartment was well more than well equipped for everything we needed. Everything was smooth, and the view of the mountain is just gorgeous.

Wonderful Spot in Seward
Tiehacker was the perfect spot to stay while visiting Seward. With an amazing view of the mountain and close to trails, we were able to go for walks each day around Bear Lake. Town was a short drive. The hosts were friendly, great communicators, and kind enough to send an object left behind to our nephew in Homer. Definitely recommend!!

Warm and Dry
We loved our perch! It was a cozy place to warm ourselves and dry out after a long day of Seward tour attractions in the rain. There is room to cook together, then all huddle on the couch to gaze out to the greenery while sipping coffee. Thank you for the respite in our travels.

The rental was the perfect amount of space for the family. It was clean and everything in working order. There was a nice yard, and my girls were able to play soccer. The hostess was friendly and informative and allowed for privacy. Best thing was you could hear the river running.
