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.
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 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.
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!
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
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.
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 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.
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 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.
I was showing my friends the pictures of this place before our trip and it’s even more impressive in person. VRBO needs to add another star to their ratings just for this one. Comfortable beds, super clean, stocked with everything you might need, wonderful host, and the view. Would gladly have stayed longer if I could.
We had an amazing stay at this fabulous home. The home was well stocked and clean. I would advise portable fans or opening some windows as the rooms were a bit warm. The home isn’t far from a road but the traffic noise wasn’t bad and the views more than made up for it. We enjoyed watching ducks fight the rivers current and salmon jumping. Over all it was such a relaxing stay and a place that we’d love to visit again.
This is a great place to get away yet not to far. We seen moose in the river. One came through the yard while we sat around campfire. Seen bears up on the mountain through our binoculars. Just a really nice place.
Todd was great! The home was everything it was advertised. There are plenty of sleeping quarters. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking items. The location is great. Located about 30 miles from Seward. Just north of Kenai lake. When we come back, I’ll definitely be looking to stay in this house again!
