Great house with nice yard
We had a great time - location is convenient and peaceful, about a 10 min drive from Seward center and there is a grocery store nearby. House was great and kitchen well-stocked - only request is one more dining chair, there were only four and there were five of us.

Great cabin in Bear Creek
We loved our stay at Ian’s cabin. It was a spacious, clean and well appointed 2 bedroom cabin, with lots of room for our family of 4. Seward is a very beautiful part of the world and it was so nice after having full days of activities, to return to this homely cabin in a very tranquil setting. Would highly recommend.

My family of 6 was very comfortable in this house. They have clearly put a lot of work into making it modern and cozy. It’s convenient to Seward and Cooper Landing day trips. Would definitely recommend.

Would definitely stay here again, accommodations were great and attention to detail was excellent. A highlight was seeing a moose and her 2 little ones in the yard two evenings while we were there.

The location was nice and quiet. We hoped to spot a bear who was recently seen but no luck. We enjoyed the wood stove and fire pit. My only suggestion would be to have lighting at the dining room table. It was a lovely surprise to be greeted with fruit and wine!

This was one of the most beautiful properties I have stayed at. It's well integrated into nature and encapsulates the spirit of wild Alaska. The cabin was plenty spacies with two bedrooms, a very well stocked kitchen (utensils and appliances) even for 6 people, a commodious living area and a lovely porch. The house has a huge backyard and easy access to a creek with sweeping views of all the mountains around the cabin. Ian was very thoughtful to leave a lot of extra sheets, towels, cleaning supplies, coffee pods, bear spray, fruits and even a bottle of wine! Ian was also generous to share his personal stock of firewood that allowed us to have a lovely campfire in the yard. We didn't have any issues with a wifi as well. Scott was super communicative and responded promptly and left a of suggestions for a variety of local activities and attractions prior to the trip. Overall we had a fantastic experience staying at the Alska View Lodge and I can't recommend it enough.

Great location
House was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed. We really appreciated the welcoming bottle of wine, fruit bowl and vase of wildflowers. Close to Seward, Exit Glacier, and Chugach National Forest. We enjoyed the creek behind the house and even had a black bear walk through the backyard!

Fantastic home base for Seward!
After several nights in 1 room cabins elsewhere in AK, it was really nice to spread out a bit and be able to do laundry. To be greeted by a big bowl of fruit, flowers and a bottle of wine, along with a note, was such a nice touch. The home is very well stocked and cared for, and it’s location just outside of Seward worked great for us. We did the Harding Ice Field hike followed by dinner at Resurrection Roadhouse the first day, then a Major Marine boat tour followed by dinner at Gold Rush Bistro the next day. The Safeway is conveniently located b/n the home and Seward, with an attached liquor store and an adjacent gas station. We had a great stay!

Perfect spot in Seward
We loved our stay here! The home was perfect for our family of 5. We were able to move the twin mattress from the “master” into the other room so all 3 kids could room together- rooms are large. The fire pit was awesome! The river out back was lovely & fun to explore when we were at the house. Easy drive into seward (just a few minutes) close to big grocery store and all the activities. The house was clean and well stocked! He even had a Chemex coffee maker which we use at home. Quiet neighborhood, very woodsy.

Comfortable home in quiet neighborhood
This is a wonderful, comfortable home, very well equipped. We (me, my husband, and our teen aged son) stayed three nights. It's about ten minutes outside of Seward in a quiet neighborhood. It was a great place to come back to after our busy adventures in the area. Ian is an excellent communicator.

Everything we needed for a comfortable stay for a family of 5. Excellent location close to Seward and away from any busy traffic. Groceries were close by. Owner was attentive and helpful with suggestions for activities. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed for family meals. Would recommend to a friend and would stay there again ourselves if we ever return to Alaska.

Country living but close to town
Staying here was spacious and comfortable, far more than you’d get at a hotel. We had bonfires in the backyard, went for walks by the river and it was only a short distance into town for excursions, groceries or restaurants.
