We absolutely loved our stay at Aurora Skies. It was tucked away far enough to feel remote but was easily accessible to the highway and the town of Seward. It was so nice to come back each night to a clean, warm & cozy cabin after exploring in the rain every day. I highly recommend these cabins to anyone visiting the Seward area.

Cozy cabin, smaller than photos suggest, really a studio with a loft, but very clean and comfortable. Nice information about local activities and resting, and the chocolates and fresh eggs were a lovely touch. Would want a washer/dryer for longer than a few days stay here.

Nice cabin in the woods

Cabin was tucked away in the woods and was great for our short stay. Great communication with the owner and there is a fire pit outside. There are few options when staying in Seward so this is a nice alternative to hotels. Probably best suited to shorter stays.

Cute, cozy & all the amenities!

First of all - most comfortable beds ever!! Easy check in/out procedures. Great, quiet location - quick, easy access to the highway but set back in the woods just enough for that 'up north' feel! The cabin is cozy but has everything you need! It was one of our favorite places we stayed while in Alaska! Would highly recommend!

Family getaway

Came to this cabin to visit Seward and the surrounding areas with my husband and two kids. My Mother Father and Grandmother in law stayed in a cabin down the road. This was a perfect place for a family of 4 with room when the rest of our group hung out for dinner and cards . The host was friendly and helpful and really cares about the cabins, the land, and your experience. We would absolutely visit again.

Seward Cabin

The cabin was lovely and in a beautiful quiet area 3 miles outside of Seward. It was clean and had everything that we needed. The host, Meegan, was extremely pleasant and quickly replied to any questions that I had. We had a very lovely evening there and would be happy to stay again when we come back to Seward. Thank you!

Cute little cabin

Overall, our stay was good. It is not a big cabin but fit the three of us well. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. It is surrounded by trees so unable to view the mountains/water; however, so peaceful at the cabin. It is a short drive into Seward. We did not cook any meals but the kitchen did have some basic supplies. You have to handwash dishes since there is no dishwasher. There are 3 Queen beds with 2 of them up in the loft. The stairs leading up into the loft are well-built and steep. I was a little nervous climbing them but our teenage son was fine. When checking in, you will get the access code about one hour prior to check-in via the VRBO inbox. We would stay there again if visiting Seward.

The cabin was very clean and in a quiet location. The space was a bit small for 6 people especially in the kitchen. There is not a full size fridge or full size oven so keep that in mind if you plan to make meals for a group of 6. The stairs to the loft were quite steep and would be very difficult for elderly, small children or people with mobility issues so be aware of that. Overall, despite the smaller size, this was a nice cabin, convenient location and I would recommend for smaller groups. We did not use the fire pit outside but I could see how that would be a great enjoyable option. Meegan was very responsive and easy to communicate with.
