We very much enjoyed our time at this cabin! Our family of 7 had plenty of space for all our stuff. The outside space is lovely and has a great view. Todd was very easy to communicate with. Would absolutely stay here again if we were ever in the area.
House was perfect for our family of 9. Plenty of space of bedrooms and bathrooms. Location was great. Plenty of kitchen utensils, dishes, pans, etc. Pool table could use a little tlc and in a tight space. A little road noise from traffic when outside, but didn’t bother us. Outdoors seating and fire pit was great for relaxing with a fire, few drinks, evening book reading. Caught a few fish in river next to house. Todd was great host to work with. Definitely recommend and would return.
We loved the river house and spent every evening in the backyard enjoying the view. Our boys fished (and caught) in the river everyday with the poles that Todd, the owner, had provided. We had a campfire every evening and were very appreciative of the firewood that was provided for us to use. The house was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had plenty for us to cook our own meals. The home is right on the highway so there was some road noise during the night. The train tracks go right along side the same road so we heard the train occasionally as well. The master bedroom had a tall ceiling with uncovered dormer windows which was problematic with the never-ending daylight. Despite these things, we would definitely recommend this home to others and stay here again. Todd was a great host!
The property is amazing and Todd does a great job. He is very responsive and the property is amazing with great views and plenty of room. I highly recommend thproperty.
This property was amazing and served our family perfectly! Todd was available to us, however we did not have any issues with the house! We had a very enjoyable time !!!
We loved our stay at Todd’s wonderful cabin. The property is amazing, next to a beautiful river. Fishing poles were available that we enjoyed and the fire pit was so fun! Todd, thanks for a great time!
We were so happy with this choice we made of staying at this property. After being on a cruise ship with a ton of people to sit and relax in peaceful & beautiful surroundings was perfect. The house had everything and the beds were comfortable. Easy drive from Seward. There was plenty of room for us all to enjoy ourselves and plenty of toys and games to use. Would totally stay here again if in this area.
This is a beautiful log home with views of the river from the main floor kitchen, great room and master bedroom. Very spacious and homey feel. The 2 bedrooms upstairs are not as big with no views and felt a little closed off. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend and would stay at this property again.
The house , location and the owner were amazing. The home had everything we needed and more including seeing wildlife out the window daily. If we could do it again we would have shopped in anchorage and only went in to Seward for activities and stayed in the house more due to the prices in Seward. Amazing place
Property was exactly what we wanted and provided all that was advertised. It was close enough to town to make quick trips but far enough away to provide that true Alaska experience
We had a great time, very nice property and Todd is a great host. Beautiful views of the river and plenty of room. The only negative is the internet is slow but we were supposed to be on vacation so it didn't effect us too much. I would highly recommend this property.
The house was awesome. For us it was a great location, on the side of the river and close to Mosse Pass and a relatively short and beautiful drive to Seward. Awesome yard, fishing poles and games provided. Kitchen was stocked. Plenty of space in the house to congregate.
This was a top notch property with a scenic river and mountain view. Todd was always available to answer any question. We loved the rustic decor and pool and piano.
The house was beautiful and very well stocked and maintained. The group of five had plenty of room and everything we needed for a trip of a lifetime with great friends. One of the most beautiful properties in the Seward area and the host was always available and very knowledgable of the area. Highly recommend.
The property fronts a river and Salmon were in the river at time of our visit. The house easily accommodated our group of six adults. Highly recommend.
