Ian’s place is great. It is close to town, spacious, convenient yet secluded, and we had numerous moose come through the yard while we were eating breakfast in the living room.

Hidden Gem

We enjoyed our stay and were so comfortable in our lovely home away from home! Clean and well supplied with all the necessities, it was such a comfy place to enjoy our visit to Seward. This trip was a repeat for me but a first for my dear friends, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it!

Great house with nice yard

We had a great time - location is convenient and peaceful, about a 10 min drive from Seward center and there is a grocery store nearby. House was great and kitchen well-stocked - only request is one more dining chair, there were only four and there were five of us.

Great way to experience Seward

Host reached out well in advance of our stay to make sure any and all questions/concerns were addressed. Place was clean, spacious, and open. Kitchen is stocked, the firepit is a nice touch, and the host clearly cared about the guest experience!

Great place

The location was nice and quiet. We hoped to spot a bear who was recently seen but no luck. We enjoyed the wood stove and fire pit. My only suggestion would be to have lighting at the dining room table. It was a lovely surprise to be greeted with fruit and wine!

This was one of the most beautiful properties I have stayed at. It's well integrated into nature and encapsulates the spirit of wild Alaska. The cabin was plenty spacies with two bedrooms, a very well stocked kitchen (utensils and appliances) even for 6 people, a commodious living area and a lovely porch. The house has a huge backyard and easy access to a creek with sweeping views of all the mountains around the cabin. Ian was very thoughtful to leave a lot of extra sheets, towels, cleaning supplies, coffee pods, bear spray, fruits and even a bottle of wine! Ian was also generous to share his personal stock of firewood that allowed us to have a lovely campfire in the yard. We didn't have any issues with a wifi as well. Scott was super communicative and responded promptly and left a of suggestions for a variety of local activities and attractions prior to the trip. Overall we had a fantastic experience staying at the Alska View Lodge and I can't recommend it enough.

What a delightful cabin in beautiful surroundings! Had a perfect stay at Ian's property as a party of four adults and a child. The house has the most comfortable beds and the best amenities. The best part is the location, only 10 minutes from Seward harbor, and yet secluded. We made a campfire, spotted moose and rabbits on the property, and enjoyed the views of the creek just 10 steps out of the backyard. Ian was a communicative and generous host. I recommend this stay to anyone visiting Seward- it will only make your trip better.

One of our favorite experiences in our two week trip. Loved the attention to detail, including the fresh flowers and the already built and ready to be lit kindling in the fire pit. The little walk to the river bed was great for views . We'd stay get again.

Great stay in the Seward area!

We stayed at the Alaska View Lodge for four nights while in Seward with my wife and three adult children and had a great time. The location is wonderful - 5 minutes to Seward makes it close to all of the activities there, but removed enough to feel out on your own a bit as well - out enough we got to watch a mama moose and her two calves grazing right in the backyard - amazing! We also saw salmon a five minute drive away at the Salmon Weir. Very clean, well stocked (in fact, extremely well stocked!) kitchen - how many VRBO's have a meat thermometer? Beds are great, two full bathrooms are also great. Great communication, very helpful host with suggestions for the area etc. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Seward and it were available. Great stay, great host, great property, great location!
