Our favorite stay in Alaska. The cabin was very spacious for 4 adults and the full kitchen made it super easy to make meals. Was only about 20 minutes to downtown where all the restaurants and tours are based. There wasn’t much of a view since there are trees and shrubs, but it’s still very peaceful and you can take the pathway at the back of the property to the creek.

Ian’s place is great. It is close to town, spacious, convenient yet secluded, and we had numerous moose come through the yard while we were eating breakfast in the living room.

One of our favorite experiences in our two week trip. Loved the attention to detail, including the fresh flowers and the already built and ready to be lit kindling in the fire pit. The little walk to the river bed was great for views . We'd stay get again.

This property worked perfectly for our family. The layout of the home is very nice and allows for privacy. The interior finishes are very nicely done. The bedding and linens were soft and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the dish ware, cookware and utensils were brand new. The home is very clean. We hope to stay with you again.

We originally wanted to stay in Seward, but found this place. It was a great choice. Very close by to everything we needed to access. We went to Exit Glacier, Seward, and Millers Landing. Very well taken care of, all the little things...night lights, scissors, strainer, all kitchen necessities. It was perfect! Thank you!

Really fantastic property. Lots of wildlife around, we had two moose in the backyard at dusk and several fluffy bunnies. The house was perfect for our family of 5. Beds were comfy, laundry room was big and better than what we have at our home. There’s a path to the river behind the house that we explored. Ian communicated lots of helpful info and was a great host. Whenever we come back to Seward, we will definitely stay here again!

What a delightful cabin in beautiful surroundings! Had a perfect stay at Ian's property as a party of four adults and a child. The house has the most comfortable beds and the best amenities. The best part is the location, only 10 minutes from Seward harbor, and yet secluded. We made a campfire, spotted moose and rabbits on the property, and enjoyed the views of the creek just 10 steps out of the backyard. Ian was a communicative and generous host. I recommend this stay to anyone visiting Seward- it will only make your trip better.

About the host

Hosted by Ian Mudd

Host profile image
I first fell in love with the beauty of Alaska nine years ago and have been hooked ever since. During my time in Alaska I have worked many different jobs (Merchant Marine, Welding, Oil Industry, Carpentry) that have afforded me the opportunity to visit many different places in Alaska. After experiencing all this beauty I still feel Seward is the most beautiful of all! I am originally from Rhode Island and graduated from the International Yacht Restoration School in Newport, Rhode Island. I am a sailor by trade. My hobbies are fishing, exploring Alaska's coastal waters, hiking, woodworking and using my sawmill! I look forward to showing my guests the beauty of Alaska!

Why they chose this property

The views! From this house you get a clear unobstructed view of Mt Alice and the entire Chugach range! Godwin glaciers is also clearly visible, its crystal blue color calms your soul and clears your mind! Also, we have abundant wildlife with moose, bear, otters and rabbits visiting often. The house is also conveniently located about 5 miles to the center of Seward and 3 miles to the small boat harbor. Exit glacier is 7 miles away and most other activities are very close. Stoney Creek zipline is less than a mile from our cabin! We are also really excited about a new business located within one mile that is extremely interesting...Stoney Creek Brewery! .

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is all the amenities inside as well as outside! The property is well suited for a family and secluded yet close to town.....you definitely don't have that "hotel" feeling, it gives you a sense of home. Additionally, as a established "local" I can provide you many insights the "average" traveler will never know about! Outside there is a large fire pit area and ample firewood....great for sharing the days stories and some smores! Located on the back of the property is a glacier fed stream that provides excellent views all the way to Resurrection Bay!
