This was a comfortable place to stay. The location was not by to far from the town of Seward. We appreciated the quick response and extra goodies that were left for us.

This was our best stay in Alaska! Comfortably fit 6 adults. All of the amenities to cook meals, do laundry, shower. The best part was the firepit in the back where we enjoyed a bonfire each night and smores. Highly suggest a wildlife boat tour with Seward Ocean Excursions! Very thankful for this comfortable stay and wonderful property.

Nice quiet cozy location. Only recommendation is to grease the door hinges so they don't squeak.

Great place to stay in Seward

Would definitely stay here again, accommodations were great and attention to detail was excellent. A highlight was seeing a moose and her 2 little ones in the yard two evenings while we were there.

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.
