Great! The place is very charming and we loved the old newspaper articles on the wall. Tanguy was very helpful in helping me do some research into family history in the area. Thanks for a great stay!

The historic relics and decor reminding of Alaska's history and the historic building itself. The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. I enjoyed the views from the living room windows. I wish I had more time to relax in the lodging but I was too busy enjoying Alaska. Conveniently located as well. I would definitely stay there again.

Great location

We stayed two nights. Very easy to walk to the water, just two minutes from the Sea Life Center, many restaurants. The owner communicated very quickly. The living space is large and one bedroom is fairly roomy. The room with twin beds is a little tight. Great views from both sides of the house!

We enjoyed our stay. Apartment was comfortable and we slept very well.It is an upstairs unit and warm air may rise on hotter days (We had one of the less usual full sun days in Seward). Unit cools down fine with open windows and air from outside.Turn back the clock to the early 1900s (Vintage).Comfortable bed. Very clean.Enjoyed our stay.
