About this property

Cute & Cozy Tiny House in the Woods

Nestled in Seward’s peaceful, forested Lost Lake area, our modern tiny house offers the perfect balance of quiet seclusion and outdoor adventure. Just a short walk (less than ½ mile) from the beautiful Lost Lake Trailhead—a local favorite for hiking and mountain biking—you’ll be surrounded by tall spruce trees and fresh mountain air. While it feels like a true retreat in the woods, you’re still conveniently located only 4 miles from the harbor and 5 miles from downtown Seward.

This one-of-a-kind tiny house is a cozy space designed for comfort and simplicity. Recently remodeled, the bathroom features a beautiful tile shower with a rainfall showerhead, adding a touch of luxury after a day of hiking, fishing, or exploring the Kenai Peninsula. The bunk setup includes a full-size bed on the bottom and a twin on top, comfortably sleeping up to three guests. While small groups are welcome, the space is best suited for two adults or two adults and a child for maximum comfort.

The kitchenette is thoughtfully equipped with a stove, coffee maker, toaster oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, and basic cookware and utensils—everything you need to prepare simple meals during your stay.

The tiny house uses a high-quality composting toilet, which functions similarly to a traditional toilet with one small difference: guests sit for use. It’s clean, eco-friendly, and easy to operate.

A wall heater keeps the space warm and comfortable year-round, and outside you’ll find a private firepit—the perfect place to relax under the trees and enjoy quiet Alaska evenings by the fire.

We’re also pet friendly, so feel free to bring your pup along for the adventure.

Whether you’re here for hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing, or simply relaxing in nature, this cozy retreat makes the perfect home base for your Seward getaway.

Please note: Tents, RVs, camper vans, or additional guests staying outside the tiny house are not permitted on the property.

Very cute tiny house in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Owner was quick to communicate, even after we left and forgot something in the house. House was well stocked for a tiny house. The composting toilet took a little getting used to but the shower was nice. We had plenty of hot water for 3 people to take showers. The bed was ok but did squeak a little. It was a little tight for 3 adults but otherwise a nice stay.

Sara was great & very responsive. Came to meet us as we needed assistance with wall heater. And provided another standing heater as a backup. Worth a fun stay if you never tried a tiny house. Bed bit squeaky but tolerable. Kitchen & bath had everything we needed & more. Sara gave good restaurant idea ... Miller's Landing at Lowell Point(?) ... so we saw waterfalls, an eagle, fishermen bringing in day's catch & 3 otters! No frills dining but great food! Thx again!

We sent the pants back (unfortunately our message with tracking information did not go through to guest because of a glitch with the app). The guests asked for VRBO to delete this rating once they received their pants. We are hoping this review will be deleted soon.

My friend and I enjoyed our stay! Just outside of town, so peaceful and quiet in the woods. The fire pit was a great addition to our quiet evenings. Check in was super easy and the cabin had everything we needed for our trip.

Nice quiet area to overnight for fishing

We rented this place for a night to get up and charter fish early the next day. It had all of the basic amenities for ‘glamping’ and nestled in a very quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed being able to relax and be away from the hustle and bustle for the holiday. It is close to lost lake trailhead and we were able to walk there to do some hiking as well. The campfire pit and chairs were great and it was nice to do a breakfast early the next morning inside.

What an excellent place to stay! The owners are great at communicating. Their guest instructions are easy to understand and explain the uniqueness of the property. My family loved the stay. It is small and that is great just. After three days of camping this was a welcome and cozy environment with a hot shower and comfortable beds. Many attributes and amenities to help you in the kitchen area. I would absolutely recommend this as a great place to stay in Seward.

The bed needs major upgrading as the metal bunks are extremely noisy and sway into the wall as you climb up if you're not careful. Other than that, exactly as described, quiet and enough amenities to live comfortably. And seeing the resident mama moose and twins was a big bonus. Thank you again!

Nice tiny house

Nice tiny house close to Seward (just a small drive away from downtown). We really appreciated they accept pets for a small fee. Only downside was a smoker had been in the Apt before us, and our clothes/belongings smelled of smoke for two days after.

This tiny house provides guests with a true remote Alaska experience in the forest. Close to Seward (3 miles) but away from populated areas, we enjoyed the privacy and remote feel. The hosts were responsive to our questions and requests. The top bunk bed can be difficult for older people to get up to but is great for younger adults and children. The composting toilet works well. We would stay there again.

Great stay…a super cute tiny home!

My husband and I traveled down to Seward for a weekend getaway and found this adorable place to stay. It’s just outside of the city but SUPER easy to get back to all the shops. VERY quiet and well thought out. It has everything anyone would need. Nice shower, TV, three places to sleep and great views of the foliage. Overall, we would stay here again. Sara was fantastic and all the info was on time and correct for check in and check out was a breeze and she responded quickly. This is the way to go if you are staying in Seward!

This little place was so cute and so clean! All the amenities packed into one little place. Only thing was the toilet. It’s basically a glorified bucket. So that doesn’t have running water to it. But it works and is better than an outhouse! That and the squeaky bunkbed was the only issue. All in all a great little place to stay for a few nights and it’s very quiet.

If you are sensitive to smells, there is a pungent air freshner in the bathroom with the compost toilet. We had to leave early due to it. The compost toilet is a little odd and drops when you sit on it. Everyone has to sit to use it. The bunk beds need to be tightened and make a lot of noise. The stairs are round and a bit painful. I think this space is best for a couple due to the size.

Wonderful, cozy little cabin in the woods away from all the tourism. I loved it and highly recommend

I so appreciate a place that allowed our 2 dogs. It is impossible to find a place that takes pets, yet it is spotless clean and neat. Easy, convenient parking. I only wished we had booked for more nights in this place only a few miles outside of Seward, yet totally in the woods away from everything. I loved it.
