We stayed in the Sourdough cabin. I expected it to be rustic, but this appeared to just be a small, cheap, graffiti-filled shed transformed into a bedroom. Watch your head! Way over priced for what you receive. I usually don’t write reviews, but this time it was warranted. Additionally, there are tight timeframes for using one of the bathrooms. It requires preplanning and “signing up” to take a short shower in the morning. Not ideal. On the positive-side: - The staff was very nice. - You can make waffles in the morning.

No quiet hours

The Nauti Otter is definitely a fun and unique place to stay. It was clean and I appreciated the sense of community. However, I do not plan on staying here again next time I visit Seward. I stayed in one of the three indoor rooms right next to the only indoor full bathroom and the kitchen/dining area. There are no observed quiet hours at the Nauti Otter so the sounds of people talking and moving around loudly kept me up late at night and woke me up early in the morning.

Nice quiet spot to spend the night. Rooms only have a bed and minium space. But, the main building has all the comforts of home. Refrigerator, restroons, fireplace, books, guitar piano. Very comfortable. Also outdoor firepit. Serve yourself arrangment. An envelope with my name was posted on the door. Key was in the door ready for me. Includes a patking spot infront of your cabin. 3 miles from Seward.

Was alright for what it is

Location was good and room was clean. Some things were a little strange that I wasn't expecting such as needing to squeegee down the shower and spray it with disinfectant after use. Only thing that was a bit annoying was the manager hovering over your shoulder making sure you are doing things correctly. Wasn't expecting to feel like a child at summer camp but if you avoid the main house then it's fine.

The only issue we had was it was raining a lot, so there was 4-5” of standing water keeping us from getting into the cabin, but I was on a fishing trip so I had water boots, no big deal for me but maybe for some people it may be something to consider if you’re not familiar with the climate.

The yurts were very cozy, cute, comfortable and nicely decorated. The area around the yurts was magical at night with white lights in the branches of the forest trees that light your way along the path to the bathrooms, or open-air kitchen. The Nauti Otter Inn is in a secluded, beautiful & forested neighborhood with nice homes on large lots that is tucked away from road noise. What a find close to Seward, Alaska.
