If you are looking for a nice place to stay in Seward, AK, THIS is the place! Soo's B&B is lovely!…read more Cleanliness is off the charts great (yet it still feels like your home to spread out & use the facilities). The rooms are spacious and well-kept. She has 2 facilities: The main house (the A-Framed one) and the "cottages" across the street. My niece and I stayed in the main while my sister and her hubby stayed in one of the cottages. The cottages boast a full kitchen, with fridge, stove, sinks, microwave and even a stacked washer & dryer. Also being separate from the main house, if you're having a long stay, this would be ideal as you won't disturb anyone with comings & goings. There appeared to be 3 of these cottages. In the main, there are 5 bedrooms, ALL with private bathrooms! :) Soo makes a terrific breakfast that's included... forget those scrawny little donuts or cold cereals you'll see at a hotel. She made us scrambled eggs, sausage, muffins, home-made blueberry compote and fresh squeezed orange juice! I'm tellin' ya... it's a great way to start the day! She also knows the local area & can tell you about discounts and things to see. When we arrived, she showed us the code to get in, the etiquette (removing shoes- great cleanliness idea in Alaska), and showed us around her beautiful home. Soo also used to live in Anchorage, where my sister still lives and I used to, and owned a sewing shop. When we arrived, and my sister made the connection, and I off-handed asked if she could re-attach the handles on my favorite tote. I didn't really expect a yes...but she said YES! The next morning at breakfast, there was my repaired tote on the chair in the dining room. She refused any compensation, but I will be forever grateful. Soo is kind, gracious and staying at her home is FABULOUS!

Our stay at Resurrection Lodge on the Bay in Seward, Alaska, was wonderful! We stayed at four…read moredifferent places over the course of our trip, and this lodge was the most wonderful! The view of Resurrection Bay, and the peaceful porch with chairs, heat lamps, and blankets was incredible! We saw such beautiful wildlife while sitting on the porch and walking on the beach, including Sea Otters, Harbor Seals, American Crows, Black-billed Magpies, Surf Scoters, Harlequin Ducks, Glaucous-winged Gulls, Bald Eagles (nesting nearby) and other beautiful birds. Our rooms were small, but the lodge does offer larger rooms too (book early); our rooms were beautiful, comfortable, clean, and cozy. The owners and the kitchen staff are warm, friendly, kind, and helpful. Breakfast each morning was lovely! We will definitely stay here again! We highly recommend this lodge!

This was a great stay in Seward! The owner is very friendly we talked to him for a good 15 min…read moreabout wildlife, fishing, hikes, and his personal life. Our room was overlooking the water which was so beautiful. From our room we could see fish, sea otters, seals, plenty of birds and boats passing by. We slept with the window open to hear the waves. The beds are very comfy and soft, I didn't want to leave the bed. They have complimentary breakfast and for the rest of the evening they have cookies, brownies and refreshments available for you in the kitchen. The viewing deck overlooks the mountains and water. You can walk down the beach to see even more. If I come back to seward I am picking this place to stay. For the other reviews saying the rooms are small and the road is a little rough, this lodge is in Seward Alaska, which is a remote place. We would travel a bumpy road again and again to stay in this place and the rooms were perfect. The service is superior compared to other places to stay in Seward. Saying this, sorry other people this is not a big city hotel. This is a small town with southern hospitality and it's amazing!

This was the probably the HIGHLIGHT of our Alaskan vacation…read more Let me paint the picture for you - The cabins are built in a secluded island called the fox island. Its about 10 miles (~12 nautical miles) from Seward. All Alaska heritage tour boats seem to stop here. But after the guests leave, the island is ONLY for the folks who stay and some staff. There were about 4 cabins. If I added the restaurant and activities desk, there would probably be just around 6 cabins in the whole island. There's cool blue ocean right in front of you and a gorgeous lake behind the cabins...That's it! They warned us that because blueberries were ripening, there had been bear sightings on the island the previous day. The island was great for sea-shelling, I wasn't too good at it, but hey, with the whole island practically to yourself, you can always try ;) Food is catered by an executive chef on the premise. We had mentioned I was vegetarian, so they made sure there were options. For dinner, I had risotto and grilled zucchini with locally picked blueberry cobbler. YUMMM We had gone sea kayaking during the day - it was surreal. Just pristine waters and you in your kayak. In the evening we could see salmon spawn everywhere on the water. It was quite a spectacle. The lodge was indeed pricey, but totally worth EVERY penny.

This lodge is not only surrounded by beauty, but the seclusion of the lodge and staff will make…read moreyour experience here remarkable and forever memorable. My fiancé and I stayed here late June in 2020. Since the trains were not running currently, the lodge was even more secluded than usual. It usually has up to 16 guests, 8 cabins, on site and when we were here, we ended up only have 4 guests there. As soon as we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly and the manager, Brandon, introduced himself and stated whatever we wanted or desired they would help achieve that or come close to it. He stated he or someone else would always be available for questions or concerns, and he did not disappoint. The cabins were beautiful and cozy. There are no outlets in the room which we did not mind as the main area has plenty available. I was able to charge my camera batteries without an issue as well. Wi-Fi worked great in this area but not in the cabins, so needing to charge your phone while in the cabin was not necessary. We stayed at the puffin cabin which had a great view of the bay and the lake just behind the cabin where we spotted river otters and baby ducks. The chef was from Vero Beach, FL which is close to my hometown. His cooking was phenomenal and kept you excited for the next meal. This is top dollar dining at its finest, no meal tasted the same and the meals were well executed. I am a self-proclaimed "foodie" and would not be this kind if not so deserved. Brandon told us about a hike, a bit on the challenging side, was available for us and explained how to get there and where to get some great views/pictures. This hike was not even recorded on my hiking app, All Trails, so I added it for others to use as a guide. Fox Island flora and landscape is like nothing I have ever seen, its damp and brittle which can make or break this hike from moderate to challenging, especially with the steep incline. On our second day there we were unable to do kayaking secondary to the tour personal being exposed to COVID, so precautionary measures were taken. Although at first this really bummed us out, we asked if they had any fishing rods which we could use to try to catch fish. Luckily, Brandon was on it, and an employee had a couple rods and lures for us to use. The chef brought us out to the "spot" on the end of the bay where the employee stated he would catch rock fish, and boy did we! (and when I say we I mean my fiancé, all I caught was seaweed and kelp, whoomph). The chef cooked the rock fish for dinner and it beyond delicious, reminded me of grouper and kind of looked like it too! We also got a show when the chef put the rock fish scraps back into the ocean and watch 2 bald eagles fight for the winnings--just WOW!! Brandon also told us if we were feeling up to it, we could jump off the dock into the frigid Alaskan waters, and you do not have to dare me to adventure. It was a beautifully warm day, and although my limbs went numb as soon as I hit the water, as soon as you get out you are instantly warm--so STRANGE for this Florida native. Every night they offered a beach fire with smores which we gladly accepted. The staff was cautious wearing masks when around guests and I never once felt unsafe. The day out you enjoy a 5-hour boat ride to explore the Fjords and see wildlife, we saw humpback whales, plenty of seals, puffins, an enormous number of seabirds, and the Aialik Glacier. The captain of the tour boat was incredibly knowledgeable about the Fjords and the boat was big enough with a catamaran style hull that allowed its massive boat to take on waves, so that I never once felt seasick. The beauty of Fox Island, the delicious food, and the attentive staff with opportunities for adventure, and the enjoyable Fjords boat tour allow me to absolutely recommend this lodge. The price is beyond worth every penny. I would ask that the lodge acquire more fishing equipment because this activity became a highlight for us both and think future guests would appreciate it as well. Stephen and I thank the staff for everything they did for us while we there and making the last bit of our Alaska trip incredibly memorable.

The yurts are wonderful and roomy, the beds are comfy, they keep everything tidy, and they provide so many perks! Let me expand, they have an incredible staff, people who truly love what they are doing and their enthusiasm is infectious! Every night we were there a warm fire greeted us with snapping and popping welcoming us back from our Seward explorations! The kitchen and cooking area is always clean and welcoming. You must cook your own food, there are flattops, BBQ grills, or even a stick by the campfire. I was familiar with s'mores which they provide ingredients for but I was introduced to stick bread, its life changing! There are so many options to use you can make gourmet meals or something simple, they make it easy no matter what your cooking abilities will allow! Morning coffee and tea are waiting hot and fresh, they also provide pancake/waffle mix for you to add to your planned meal. They have a supply of chocolate chips for a sweet twist but if you want with Alaskan style, and if you're lucky enough to be staying during blueberry season the property is abundant with high bush blueberries! Send someone out on a blueberry walk and add them to your fresh waffles or pancakes. Alaskan summer brings out the midnight sun, literally, but for extra light the paths to all of the yurts are well lit which make late night snack time or early morning coffee pleasant. The yurts do not have bathrooms inside them, you must venture out to the shared facilities. If you want an adventure that is unique, fun, and will be a memorable part of your Alaska experience, the Nauti Otter is the best!

This room has 2 windows on one side of the room & patio door to a big deck on other side. In order to get a cool breeze we needed to have the windows and deck door open, but only one of the windows had a screen and no screen on the deck door. I figured out that I could open the window with the screen and the patio door and get a nice cross breeze and no mosquitoes. The other window without a screen should not be opened because it is near a tree, and the mosquitoes came in that one. Bathroom is shared with the room next door, which we knew going in. Was not a problem. I would prefer walking outside to a shared bathroom house, so you know you can take a shower when you need to leave in the morning, but my wife prefers this setup so she doesn't have to walk outside. Breakfast is cold cereal and bananas and coffee and tea. It would be a great improvement if they just added hard boiled eggs. Owners are very friendly and helpful and are there with you when you eat breakfast. Location is excellent, close to Seward harbor and to salmon jumping area. I would give 5 stars if there were eggs and there were screens in both windows.

The floors are immaculate (leave your boots at the door, please). No dust bunnies hiding anywhere. This is the sort of place you could bring your mother, and feel no guilt. *Caring: during pre-trip planning, Jan responded promptly to e-mail notes. When we arrived a bit early, Sandy greeted us warmly, and let us unload our luggage. There was coffee ready to brew each morning, the refrigerator was full of food, and Jan was sensitive to my wife's gluten-free requirement (by the way, we discovered the local Safeway does have a gluten-free case near the deli). Jan was available each evening, ever helpful but always respecting our space. We enjoyed conversations about the locale, and her 25 years in Alaska. She also helped us stretch our dollars by offering us some coupons, and letting us use the kitchen for some lunches and dinners.
