Cozy cabin in the woods
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Seward in the Mt. Benson cabin! The cabin is conveniently close to beautiful Seward, and was a cozy retreat at the end of long days spent hiking and exploring the area. The beds were quite comfortable and the little kitchen area was well stocked for our needs. We would recommend staying here to anyone who was planning to visit the Seward area.

Great Stay
This is in a quiet place with close access to Exit Glacier and Seward. The recommendation to take the Major Marine Tour was fabulous! We did the 7 1/2 Hr tour. We saw the glacier calve multiple times, saw a Humpback whale breeching, an Orca stealthy swimming the coast and puffins to name a few things on the tour.
The accommodations are very nice. I can tell it is a newer build and it is well taken care of. The heaters Rodney provided kept us warm and toasty.
Thanks for providing coffee for the coffee pot!!
I enjoyed Marcelle's artwork as well!

Wonderful family vacation
We loved out stay. Cabin was perfect. Check in was easy. Enjoyed the fire pit and the kids made s'mores. Bobby the dog was probably our favorite as we were missing our dogs while in Alaska. The location was conveniently located less than 10 minutes from town. We did whale watches, hiking and lots of fishing during our stay. Would love to come back next summer!

Quintessential Alaskan Stay
My family loved staying in this cabin! It was clean, smelled like new, and my kids absolutely loved the loft. The location is excellent- close enough to town but just tucked away enough to enjoy the Alaskan landscape. Among the different places we stayed in Alaska, this was by far our favorite!

Great location. Private but close to Seward. Cabin was very comfortable. Saw a moose walk right outside the front door. Bobby the dog was super friendly and well-trained. Loved it. 5 stars.

Fantastic Cabin Close to it All
If you want to visit Seward or the surrounding area this is such a wonderful option. We had the perfect time here.
Home was so clean and well appointed. Our host was very quick to respond to any questions and so helpful. You can not get better than what we had in these wonderful cabins.
Thank you again for letting us stay!

Perfect cabin!
The Mt. Benson cabin was perfect for our time in Seward. We only wished we had planned to stay longer, as there is plenty to do in the area. The cabin is brand new (it smells like new everything!) and thoughtfully and comfortably furnished. I actually slept in the loft bed, which was very comfortable and peaceful. Safeway is 3-4 miles away, and I recommend stocking up on coffee and breakfast supplies as we had some difficulty finding places in town that were open for breakfast before 9am. The communal gazebo area is really lovely - sadly, the weather didn't cooperate for us to take advantage of it this trip. Definitely take the owners up on their recommendation of a Major Marine cruise - it was a highlight of our time in Seward!

Great Seward Stay
This new cabin was perfect for our 3-night stay. Just minutes away from downtown Seward, grocery store, etc. Hosts were very welcoming & helpful to us.
Just know that the loft is somewhat smaller than we thought, and the ladder could be intimidating at first. We were 2 couples & it was great.

Awesome…just a few basics needed…
There were just some basics that weren’t there. We had to buy our own seasoning and Coffee!!!! I feel like was a huge negative for me as a person who needs it asap in the morning the Safeway is 3-ish miles down the road but there is construction. But I digress… and there was no plunger so they gained a plunger on us.
Anyway it was comfortable and clean very nice and new cozy and the fire pit area was amazing. We were disappointed to not meet Bobby but we definitely plan on going back and this will be on our list of places to stay for sure. I liked that it was away from the touristy areas of Seward.
I spoke to the owner on the phone he was trying to help us get another night stay but my phone delayed my calls before I saw he had reached out. I thought that was awesome that he reached out.
Stay here if you have a chance!
Was fun to stay in Alaskan style cabin. Loft is a little tough to access but comfortable once you are up there.

A Cozy Getaway
We have stayed in over 15 VERBO'S and vacation rentals from the historic and quirky, tiny houses to luxery homes. This little cabin in Bear Creek has been one of our favorites.
The living area is a comfortable place to hang out and the electric fireplace/heater adds just a bit of romance. The whole unit is beautifully decorated. It was a bit chilly when we first got there, but it only took a little while to warm right up.
The conditions weren't right for enjoying the outdoor area, but it looked pretty cool.
We did book a half day Major Marine Tour and Marchelle is not only an excellent artist but an excellent Captain and tour guide. It was clearly the best value for an activity in a very expensive town.
Just some FYI points. Read the directions for the stove! The bed is quite firm. The power buttons for the fireplace/heater are on the front of the cabinet under the tv.

Schönes Tiny House mit Grillplatz
Das neuwertige Tiny Haus liegt ein paar Meilen vor Seward. Es gibt ein Schlafzimmer und Wohnzimmer mit Küchenzeile im Erdgeschoß und im Spitzboden ein weiteres Schlafzimmer. In Summe gibt es 3 Tiny Häuser und ein größeres Haus auf dem Grundstück. Ed gibt einen überdachten Grillplatz mit Gas- und Kohlegrill sowie Tische und Bänke. In Summe ein sehr schönes Anwesen, wir kommen gerne wieder!
