When we booked our stay, we were looking more at the location and the bedroom configuration than anything else, which worked very well for us. When we got there we were pleasantly surprised by the decor, which was in the photos, but we had rushed past. It was a great place to stay! We ran out of propane while Lona was at work, but she was able to get us going again very quickly. Lona is very friendly and a very good host. If our travels ever lead us back to Seward, we would love to stay here again!

This was just the greatest place to stay! We loved the theme of Alaska sportsmen that was everywhere, inside and out - it was unique and amazing. The bear decor was supported by other Alaskan animals, both as trophy specimens and in every little detail. We oohed and aahhed every time we discovered something new. The island countertop was beautiful - and surrounded by the best equipped kitchen we've ever rented. The finishing touches were so welcoming - coffee, creamers, hot chocolate and a huge variety of teas that were available to use, along with freshly baked bear print cookies on a platter. We enjoyed an evening around the firepit and wandered the secluded property. The house was sparkling clean and very comfortable. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Someone stopped by as soon as we arrived to make sure everything was as expected. If you are going to the Seward area, this is absolutely the best place to stay.

Wonderful stay!
This was the perfect spot to spend the last few days of our Alaska vacation. The home is just a quick trip to Seward so it's easy to access gas, shopping, restaurants & tourist activities. The home had everything we needed- room to spread out, comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, an outdoor seating area with a grill, a quiet road that was perfect for an after dinner walk. We really enjoyed visiting with the hosts as well as the neighboring guests. Lona was very easy to work with - always responded quickly to any messages. Definitely recommend!

Great Location and Wonderful Host
The property was so great, with so many amenities. Spacious interior with every gadget you could imagine.I wish I had found this property sooner so we could have taken advantage of the firepit and cornhole! We met Lona as we were leaving and she was so kind. Will definitely book here again in the future!

The property is secluded and quiet. It has an outdoor area with a fire pit and plenty of room to socialize. The interior is Alaskana, with mounted animals (including a brown bear). Very clean and nice. I highly reccomend.

First trip to Alaska
This house was perfect for our family, and centrally located to all our planned activities! Check-in was a breeze and the home had everything we needed. At the end of a busy day of fun, we relaxed by the fire pit, and played corn hole and horse shoes! Lona is the perfect host! We will definitely stay there again, if we make it back to Alaska!

Nice place / very well equipped
The Sportsman home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, open concept kitchen and family room and were all very nice sized. Furniture and beds were comfortable and everything was very clean.The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you could need. Great decor if you are a sportsman.The host made our check in easy. They live very close by and stopped by to see if we needed anything but then gave us our privacy too.Our only regret was we only planned a one night stay.
