Cozy and Perfectly Located in the Heart of Seward

We stayed here over Mother’s Day weekend and really enjoyed it. The location is central, just a short walk to the waterfront, restaurants, and everything we needed. The weather was beautiful, and the place itself was clean, cozy, and comfortable. Great little spot in a great part of town.
