This place is amazing! The look and feel and 'vibe' is great, reminded me of like an old settlement. Amenities are wonderful, breakfast was good. Plenty of space in the room. Wonderful greeting from Adrienne! She is amazing!
We had a wonderful time at the Nauti Otter Yurt Village. Check-in was easy, our yurt was cozy and clean, the shared bathrooms and kitchen were very clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We look forward to staying there again in the future.
We stayed in the reindeer cabin. It was very charming and perfect for our group of 4. It was funny because we all had our own twin bed! Parking was right outside the door; we had a personal fire pit, and we were right next to the communal area with picnic tables and BBQ grills. The host was friendly when we checked in. Short drive to Seward and the National Park.
This was such a beautiful property and the stay was super comfortable. Everything in the property is so thoughtfully well designed and you can tell the owners poured their passion into it. They really care about their guests. They go above and beyond in all ways possible!
We were pleasantly surprised that the Octopus yurt was so comfortable. What a nice way to spend the night! Our original reservation with another place did not work out, so in desperation we stayed at the Nauti Otter. It was great. Very nice for the two of us. I would recommend it.

Great stay!
Loved this place! The staff was helpful, met some nice fellow guests, and the property was not too far out of Seward.
This place is a hoot. Each "room" is actually just a small stand-alone structure: mine was a small cabin and the guy next to me was staying in one of those old '50s trailers. Bathrooms and showers are good; can either use the ones outside the main house or those inside. Really fun place. Only a few minutes north of town. Okay to cook your own food in the main house, which has 2 kitchens. Good choice to stay there as long as you don't need a big room.
It was clean all over. I chose to sleep in the little spaces with the curtains and it was very comfortable. Staff were very helpful and provided help when needed. It was a nice experience actually making the waffle batter and you could make a chocolate chip version. Water was clean and tasted great. They also started a new company called “Otter Express”. They’ll save you lots of time if you don’t have a way of traveling to and fro.
This hostel/ Inn was insanely cute, spotlessly clean, and had the sweetest most attentive host and staff! They have an easy to use pancake/waffle station with unlimited coffee every morning and a gorgeous kitchen to use at your discretion. Will absolutely go back and recommend it to anyone traveling in the area.

Lovely cottage.
I stayed in a lovely cottage with a bedroom, small living room, bathroom, kitchen, and patio. The cottage is different from the yurts.
Convenient for hiking the Harding Icefield.
We have never stayed in yurts previously and truly enjoyed the experience. Bed was very comfortable, yurt was airy and spacious with anything we might need. Showers and bathrooms were clean and available. The group kitchen with storage worked perfectly. We would love to stay here again.
This place is beautiful, well planned, even in a yurt they throught of every possible amenity you could want. Loved it so much Im wanting to come back just to stay here. HIGHLY recommend this for a unique and amazing time
We enjoyed the time we spent here. We stayed in 3 different locations on the property and enjoyed each one for different reasons. We especially enjoyed the yurt village. Everything was nice and clean, the staff was friendly, and it was such a fun experience.
The best way to describe this property is quaint. It is very basic, but very comfortable. If you are looking for a convenient place to spend a night or two, this is it. If you stay out in a cabin, trailer or yurt, you get the Alaska experience of an outhouse, although there are warm, clean bathrooms and shower facilities in the main lodge. On my list for places to stay in Seward.
