I may have been a little extra excited when I arrived since I had just spent the last 5 days kayaking around Aialik Bay and probably would have loved any place with a hot shower and a warm bed, but once you meet Dave and Wendy, it feels like you're crashing over at a friend's house. Anyone heading to Seward should definitely stay here; you won't regret it.

Dave and Wendy are wonderful hosts, and the lodge is very comfortable and convenient, and immaculately maintained. We were 10 of us, and stayed 3 nights - used the grill, but not the hot tub - and made our own breakfasts and dinners at the lodge. Wendy was very accommodating, when two of our crew, me included, could not make the kayak trip, and found other people to use the slot, and helped us to make alternate arrangements. Bear Paw is a great place to stay in Seward, & especially if you plan to go kayaking.

From the location (convenient, beautiful and woodsy) to the ease of checking in and out to the cabin itself - we loved it all! Our place could have easily slept 4 more people, but we had it to ourselves! The bed was very comfortable, the towels were incredibly soft and it was perfectly warm! We especially appreciate the owners as my boyfriend left his very favorite (and expensive) jacket behind and they promptly called him and shipped it to him. We really appreciated that! I would absolutely recommend these adorable cabins to anyone traveling to Seward!!!

It's amazing how much function you can cram into a 14x16 ft space! They slept 4 adults comfortably and had all the modern comforts we needed while giving that feeling of camping in the woods. We even ended up purchasing the same wall heater that they had because it was so efficient and space-saving. The cabins are located an easy walk from Miller's Landing on a quiet side street. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit.

Angels Rest is located on Lowell Point just 2 miles down the dirt road form Seward and is an amazing place to get away for the weekend. My wife and I got engaged there early last year and just recently went back. We stayed in the Wing Cabin both times and just loved it. It had a great little kitchen and 2 rocking chairs in from of the two large windows overlooking the bay and the mountains. The binoculars are a great treat for watching the sea life play just off shore. Don't forget to bring a book!! It is real close to town and it's really not that far from Safeway. They offer a 5% discount for paying in cash. The bed was extremely comfortable too!! The cabins were very clean and the kitchen has enough plates, silverware, and cooking utensils for making what ever floats your boat. The kitchen also has a small fridge and they also provide a cooler to use. On the deck there is a gas BBQ grill and each cabin has it's own fire pit outside for use when warm enough. I believe they also sell ice and firewood if you forget yours. They are very good about getting back to you quickly if they are not able to answer the phone. You can also contact them by text or email. Check out their website: www.angelsrest.com I highly recommend taking a weekend trip down there if you really want to get away from it all!!!

We spent four nights in the Gatehouse Cabin at Angel's Rest in late June. The cabin has a…read morekitchenette with mini fridge, two burner gas stove, toaster and microwave. There are lots of great restaurant options in Seward, but it's so nice to be able to make your own breakfasts in your jammies. The kitchenette also came in handy for dinner one night, after we picked up fresh salmon near the pier at Capt Jack's. The cabin is surrounded by plants and trees that make it feel cozy and private, even though there are other cabins around it - so much nicer than staying in a hotel with hordes of other tourists surrounded by parking lots. There's a porch with fantastic water views, a small grill and two chairs. We picked up firewood and marshmallows for the firepit out front, which has a small bench. The stony beach is populated with ducks, gulls and cormorants tottering around the tidepools. On our last night we saw three eagles fishing, a sea otter lounging in the surf, and a harbor seal swim by. There were beautiful, tiny hummingbirds that visited the feeders on the porch every day. A number of kayak rental places dotted the road toward Lowell Point State Rec park - which is a short walk down the beach, and has some great hikes. Paul and Lynda have provided a wealth of information in a binder on tons of hikes and scenic drives all over the area, and well as recommendations for dining, tours, etc. The cabin is artistic-rustic-style, with pine ceilings and handmade headboard, but far more comfortable than we expected. The lovely accommodations and setting, coupled with the hosts' attention to detail and quick response to questions, make this the perfect place for your visit to the Kenai peninsula.

We were pleasantly surprised by how spacious and exceptionally clean our room was! Of course, it's not the Ritz-Carlton, but the cleanliness of the property truly exceeded our expectations, and it had everything we needed. The room price is also relatively cheaper than other hotels in downtown, likely because it's not located right in the downtown area--which worked out perfectly for us. Since we visited at the very end of the tourist season, breakfast service wasn't available, but complimentary coffee was offered in the dining hall, along with a microwave for guests to use. There was also a coffee maker in the room. Towels and toiletries were provided, all spotless and fresh. Kudos to Todd as well--he was incredibly nice and quick to respond to our inquiries. He even picked up his phone while on the road to make sure our questions were answered right away, which we really appreciated.Overall, we had a great experience here and would highly recommend Exit Glacier Hotel. A nice bonus: bear spray is available for rent.

The hotel itself has a rather homey feel and I found the staff to be rather helpful and welcoming. Our room was alright, probably a bit better than the average room we stayed in on our Alaska trip. It was a bit roomier and more modern, which was nice. The hotel offers a breakfast, which I found kind of strange. They have us a menu and told us if we wanted anything, we had to fill it out and turn it in my like 10 PM the night before. This would allow them to get our food ready for us before we were ready to eat. Unfortunately, we found that that was only half the menu; they had other options posted on a menu in the dining area that I didnt know about until we sat down to eat. Of course, at that point it was too late to change my order. But other than that, we enjoyed our stay, and would stay here again.

It's not even a block from the SeaLife Center and right by lots of shops. Looking forward to just walking downstairs for breakfast at the Sea Bean Cafe.

It's near several restaurants and shops, including the coffee shop downstairs, and the waterfront. Since it isn't located in the part of Seward that is crowded by the cruise ship folks, street parking is free unlike elsewhere. Our suite, Wilderness Room #3, was spacious and clean with lots of natural light and the historical details and decor were charming. After spending our days out hiking, we really appreciated the comfortable king bed and cozy bedding. The kitchen came in handy a few times for making meals to take with us on outings and I imagine this would be helpful for families, too. Oh, and the Sea Bean coffee was a great touch! If I could make one small suggestion for the room, I would have liked a curtain on the bathroom window for added privacy. I'd happily stay here again if I returned to the Kenai Peninsula. I think it's a good value for the accommodations.

I wouldn't quite call the cabin "rustic" as advertised, more out-dated than anything. Worn green carpet and bed frames that reminded me of my late grandmother's house. As mentioned in the previous review, the hot tub did have a strange smell to it of mildew with a splash of chlorine and the water was very murky with bits of plant(?) material floating around in it. Thankfully it was tolerable enough to enjoy with mandatory showers after. The view from the hot tub was gorgeous overlooking Seward at sunset as it snowed. The bathroom has an awesome giant rain shower head that felt great, the drain, however was slow, so there was quite a bit of water left in the bottom of the shower after you were done. The beds were very comfortable and clean, along with the rest of the cabin. You do need to take out your own trash after your stay which we thought was odd. We would consider staying here again during tourist season, maybe the hot tub will be better up-kept.
