The historic main house features cedar-shingle art by a local craftsman
Location: Seward, Alaska, USA (Midway Between Downtown Seward and the Boat Harbor)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath (Sleeps 5)
The Marathon Terrace Main House is one of four 'Government Houses' built in about 1916 as part of the railroad terminus development in Seward. Right away you will notice the custom cedar-shingle art created by local artist Paul Paquette. You'll have fun picking out all of the creatures lurking on the walls!
The house has been completely remodeled, and has a completely new kitchen as of 2007. The house has 2 bedrooms; there is one queen size bed in each, and an additional twin in one of the bedrooms, so the house can accommodate up to 5 people. There is also a fully equipped kitchen, and bath. Bedrooms and bath are on the second floor. The kitchen has a full sized refrigerator/freezer with room for standard frozen fish boxes.
We think you'll find our house to be a practical, comfortable alternative to hotel or motel rooms where you can relax, cook your own dinner if desired, and enjoy a home away from home while on vacation in Seward. Families and groups especially appreciate having a complete home available for their enjoyment.
We also offer our 3-bedroom Terrace Suite, located in an adjacent building on the property. Please see our web page for full details.
