About this property

Seward House - Lost Lake

Alaska has so much to offer and the views usually do not disappoint, and here at Lost Lake Guest House you have a front row seat to some of the greatest views. Feel right at home when you walk into the front door and see the vaulted ceilings, the updated open concept living and kitchen areas and the sit in dining area with breathtaking views. Enjoy the fresh air while you sit on either deck and catch up on your day.
You will love the the Seward House with its open concept living area that flows right into the dining area that flows into the beautiful kitchen. The living area features a queen sleeper sofa, a very comfy recliner and a Roku equipped tv. The dining table seats 4 (extra chairs provided) and flows right into the beautiful updated kitchen which has everything you will need to prepare your next family meal. The unit offers a mater bedroom with a queen size bed, a spacious clean bathroom with a shower/tub, towels are provided, a full size loft with a queen size bed. There are 2 decks to relax on, one facing East and one that faces West. The West side provides the front yard with picnic table, fire pit and gas grill. The east side provides a beautiful glacier/snowcapped mountain range.
We are located in the Lost Lake Subdivision which is the gateway to Chugach National Forest and the famous Lost Lake Trailhead. We are in the perfect location for outdoor activities! From our property we are 1/2 mile from the Lost Lake Trailhead and we are just 3 miles from town.

The city bike (walk) path starts right below our property and it will take you all the way to the end of town, which is where you will find the Alaska Sealife Center.
You'll be able to come home from your full day of activities and relax either in or outdoors.
With the bright and open floor plan it has a lot to offer, it will give you and your guest more time to socialize and you will also be able to keep a eye on the kids!
Seward is an outdoors person's paradise! With deep sea fishing, glacier and wildlife cruises, many many hiking trails, a waterfront bike path (actually starts right below the guest house) that takes you along the edge of the Resurrection Bay where most people end up in the evening taking walks, talking with other travelers and just enjoying the views you won't see anywhere else! We have some of the BEST restaurants in Alaska that serve the freshest seafood you can get!

This cute home is only a stone's throw from "downtown" Seward, with easy main-road access and ample parking. Understand that there is only a single bedroom with a door that closes. The bed upstairs, in a low-ceiling loft, was perfect for the kids, but we had to turn off the lights in the kitchen and living room and be very quiet until they fell asleep because of the light and sound bleed. The final bed is the convertible couch in the living room. All of the beds were comfortable. The kitchen is an excellent size with plenty of amenities. Wifi is strong, but the uplink is satellite internet; large uploads (eg, pushing photos to dropbox or amazon pictures) WILL fill the pipe and kill the connection. Definitely check this place out if you need somewhere overnight before your Royal Caribbean southbound Alaska cruise -- or for somewhere to stay a few days after your northbound one!

Quaint home just outside of Seward. The listing was accurate and communication was exceptional. The house had everything we needed. We loved the layout. I didn't realize when booking that this had a unit below, but there were no issues with neighbors. The host provided grill, firepit, games, and several kitchen amenities. I would highly recommend!

Amazing host and great propeerty

Thank you so much for sharing your home. We loved to be welcome with a personalized message form the porch and lots of instructions once inside. Thank you for providing bear proof trash bins on the property so we did not have to drive anywhere to drop off trash at the end of our stay because we had to leave early one morning. I loved how available the host has been on any messages on the VRBO app. We had everything we needed plus a wonderful view of mountains and bald eagles. Just amazing-thank you-when we come again we will absolutely try to get this same property to rent. God bless you!

This cabin is wonderful and we very much enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable, the location was quiet, and the communication was clear. The only thing that I didn't realize from the online booking was that we stayed in the upper unit and could hear the people in the lower unit, even if they weren't being loud. It wasn't a big deal, as I said we really enjoyed our stay, but it is something that caught me by surprise. If we find ourselves back in Seward we'd definitely stay here again!

Cozy & convenient

We really enjoyed this little house! Perfect location convenient to Seward and Kenai Fjords NP. Had just what we needed for a couple of nights cooking at home …for us only lacking a washer & dryer (which was as advertised) but allowed for the experience of doing laundry in town. Thank you for sharing your home! I hope our kids weren’t too loud for the apartment below.

Very clean and modern stay

This was a perfect stay very near to Seward, and all of its attractions. The property was very clean and modern and comfortable. The house clearly put a lot of thought into this place for travelers, who may have never been to Alaska before. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the Seward area.

Felt like home

We had a lovely stay. The house was clean and comfortable. The location was convenient to Exit Glacier and the town of Seward. Shirley was quick to respond when we needed her and was so sweet and kind. We worried a little about being too loud for the people staying below us, but tried our best not to be. Other than that we LOVED our stay here.

Perfect for Seward

We loved our stay here. There was perfect directions on how to find the cabin (google maps wasn’t correct but it wasn’t needed with the info provided!). Clean, thoughtful decor, and great space for our 2 day stay in Seward. The master bed was extremely soft. That can be a positive or negative depending! Would absolutely recommend.
