Very responsive. Helpful tips to enjoy the area. Place is well located. Far enough from the cruise ship crowds and yet within a few mins walk from the town’s free shuttle stop, restaurants, sea life center and still walkable to the busier side of town.

Awesome little B&B in Seward. The staff was great at communicating about the property. The rooms had plenty of space and a great loft for the kids. The location is unbeatable for exploring downtown Seward or a quick drive up to the small boat harbor. It was a great find for visiting Seward!!

5 stars - loved the stay with my son here. Staff is very nice and makes excellent breakfast in morning. I was able to put my own food in kitchen refrigerator and heat it up in microwave in their kitchen. The view of ice-covered mountains from the breakfast room is exceptional.

I would highly recommend this Inn! Charming, comfortable, clean. Staff were incredibly helpful. Breakfast is awesome with Cook to order eggs. Homemade breads. Full coffee and tea service. Use of the kitchen after hours on a self-serve basis. Only real downside was that you must be able to navigate stairs to get up to the second floor of the building which houses the Inn

Our room, number 8, was very comfortable. We had enough area for our things, but our traveling companions’ room was very tight. Our bed was very comfortable and the shades and curtains made the room very dark, which was so helpful with so much sunshine in Alaska. It was nice to be able to use the kitchen refrigerator and be able to wash dishes. The breakfast was delicious and served in a timely manner. Please know there are two flights of stairs to manage in getting your suitcases upstairs. Somehow we missed knowing this when we booked it. Overall, we had a wonderful stay there.
