    The septic doesn’t allow for flushing of TP. This may be an Alaska thing due to the remote location? Honestly, it was all extremely clean and hygienic.

    Host was incredibly welcoming, and the breakfast was out of this world. Impeccably clean.

    This is a hard question as what we didn’t like was more a feeling than concrete facts.

    The location was lovely with the serenity of the lake.

    Gorgeous location with great breakfast

    • Couple

    • Stayed 3 nights

    We booked quite last minute around 2 weeks out and in peak season there may not be a great deal of good accommodation options in the area. We had the Resurrection Peak room / double room with lake view which was pretty compact and private bathroom was not attached - across corridor next to another guest's room (this was however made clear in the description), and the water supply in shower was also somewhat intermittent. It was only for these reasons on reflection I can't rate good value for money as it was also the most expensive room we have had in 3 months in the Americas (just over $1000 USD for 3 nights). Other rooms if they are available would seem larger and with en-suite and perhaps would be better value for money.

    This great B&B is in a simply beautiful location next to a lake, and only a short drive to Seward for restaurants, activities etc. We took the Major Marine Tour for a full day and it was one of the best tours we have ever had for wildlife viewing as well as glaciers. Bre and her family are really lovely, taking over this business quite recently and working hard to help all their guests, they can also help with discounts on activities including the one above and there are kayaks to borrow to explore the lake. The house and room was spotlessly clean, good communication and instructions and the breakfasts were awesome - two serving times to opt for each day and rotating hot breakfast plus fruit, hot drinks and OJ.

    We spent the most special 3 days in Bre's and Joey's amazing B&B. These wonderful people will make you feel like you are home away from home. We loved everything about this house, the surroundings, its owners and their family and our fellow guests. Our room was specious and very comfortable, me, a person with sleep issues, slept here like a baby every single night. The warm breakfast was home-made with love every morning. Bre always had 1000 ideas for programmes, hiking trails, restaurants - she knows everything and everyone about the region. I will never forget this place and can't wait to be back.

    Awesome location, B&B host Bre & Joey provide an exceptional experience for my family. room as clean, well maintained and comfortable. Provided great information on the area and helped us identify the activities in the area that where open during the "off season" when we visited. Breakfast's where fantastic!! Bre made adjustments on the fly to accommodate some dietary restrictions of my family.

    This BnB had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts and innkeeper were extremely thoughtful and clearly take a lot of pride in making the experience great. The breakfasts were very good and we liked the self-directed nature of the stay, which allowed us to do things on our own schedule. One of the highlights of our stay was the sunset paddle around Bear Lake in the provided canoe. We can’t recommend it enough!

    Cant think of a thing

    Location is amazing. It is about 6 miles outside of Seward and we did not have a rental car. (So taxi each way is $25 plus tip. that's just fyi.) Came in on the Alaskan Railroad which is perfect! You arrive in Seward too early for check in, but Josh, with Orang Bike Delivery which is a company that stores your luggage, (right across from the train station) is gracious and kind, just like the owners of Bear Lake. Pat, Dennis and Margie are just fabulous hosts! So kind and giving and we could not have asked for a better spot while in Seaward! Breakfast was yummy! We went out on Bear lake with their canoes and it was certainly a fun time. They are fun people! Seaward was one of our favorite spots on the trip. The restaurant right across the street from the Sea Life Center with the outside patio has the best food!

    Only issue is that you do need a car to get to town but that is the only negative.

    The owners are wonderful...I wish we had more time to spend with them. Made you feel welcome and at ease. We would definitely encourage others to stay there! Peaceful and relaxing location.

    The owner met us at the the door with a baby in her arms, Had to carry our bags three flights of stairs, I rented one room for two persons and she told me I rented two rooms and was going to charge me for that, We didn't like the rooms so we left the next day. The owner charged us double the rate and would not talk to us. Had to file a police report on her . I think this was the worst place in Seward to try to stay.
