About this property

Spacious Home on a Rushing Glacier Fed Creek

Welcome to the Spruce Goose!

Nestled under the trees along glacier fed "Kwechak Creek," The Spruce Goose is the perfect home base for a large group looking for a private home with all of the amenities to rest and prepare for the next great Alaskan adventure. You're just a short drive away from Kenai Fjords National Park, Exit Glacier, the Seward Harbor, and dozens of other amazing activities.

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home sleeps 8 comfortably. The primary suite has a king size bed and large private bath with a beautiful double shower and heated floors. Two more bedrooms with queen beds share a large hall bath complete with a jacuzzi tub and complimentary washer and dryer. The living room converts easily for sleeping with a privacy screen and comfy pull out sofa.

The living areas connect to a fully appointed kitchen with everything you need to prepare an evening meal. The large dining table seats 8, or have your dinner or morning coffee al fresco in one of several outdoor spaces including a covered back patio.

Spread out on almost two acres and enjoy evening campfires along a rushing glacier fed creek.

Go for a walk on quiet streets taking advantage of the long summer days.

Super clean and nice house

We only stayed for an overnight so we could do a glacier cruise, but the house is great and it would’ve been awesome to stay there for a few days and enjoy the amenities. Ryan was super easy to work with.

Phenomenal family friendly base camp for Exploring Seward and Kenai Fjord

The property was clean, well appointed with spices, pots, dishes and utensils, and indoor parking. Plenty of blankets, towels, shampoo and conditioner supplied as well as trash bags, ziplocks, etc. All three bedrooms had queen beds, with lovely bedding, blankets, etc. Shower was amazing and had heated floors.

Seward sanctuary

Great stay. Close enough to Seward but out of any tourist traffic. Beautiful home. Great yard. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. Everything works! That’s a rarity these days. Owner always answers his texts right away.

Disliked: Communication
WiFi password was not included in welcome book - I texted and called owner for password and never heard back from him until I had contact the 800# 24 hours later. Here the password was placed on top of a framed picture over 6 feet off the ground. In the hallway. For as much money as this place charges, I expected a better response from the owner. Other than that, the place was very clean and comfortable

A spectacular house close to Seward

We spent three wonderful days at this well appointed house just 9 min away from Seward. The house is in Bear Creek, and is conveniently located to all attractions. It is situated next to a stream - a great location for a walk/run and with bald eagles soaring above us. We have enjoyed our evenings sitting out in the porch, or around the bonfire set up in the backyard. The kitchen is well equipped, allowing us to make great meals during our stay. The owner is very responsive. We highly recommend staying here!
