Great Property 10/10

Great property—exactly as advertised. Great communication with property manager from the moment of booking. Out of downtown without it being inconvenient to get to Seward. Close to the harbor and Exit Glacier. Had a blast in Seward area and it was a perfect home base for all of our activities.

Cute, clean, woodsy cabin

We loved our stay! Very clean, cute and thoughtful interior. Loved the overall layout, especially the loft twin bed for our older son. Beautiful natural surroundings and only about a 5-10 min drive to shops and restaurants. In summer, with so much daylight I’d recommend bringing a sleep mask for bedtime. Thank you!

Our stay in Cottage in the woods was ideal!!! True Alaska beauty all around us and a quick 10 min drive to Seward. Was clean, cozy and loved the art and artifacts throughout the cottage. Rocking on the front porch with the afternoon sun, perfect for 2 couples as we each had our own space and we could hear the river thru the woods. Would look no further so a place to stay when we are back on the Kenai.

Cozy yet modern cottage minutes from Seward harbor and attractions.

Wonderful, clean, and smartly decorated cottage in the woods. Perfect for our family of 4. Minutes from Seward harbor. Hiked Harding Icefield trail and boated with northern latitude adventures into Resurrection and Aialik bays. Great day for wildlife viewing as we saw a pod of Humpbacks bubble net feeding, a super pod (20) of Orcas, puffins, sea lions, otters, and Eagles. Fabulous time!

Awarding Best Stay!!

Well maintained property, well appointed. Gracious space from people-y places. We already miss the patio and surrounding native plants and birds! Close enough to Exit Glacier and Seward for whatever day trip you might plan and still kick your feet up at night!

quiet, clean property

This VRBO is close to Seward and in a very quiet location in the woods! The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. There was a problem with the door lock, but the owner was very responsive and fixed the issue in a very prompt manner. Would definitely stay here again!
