The best way to describe this property is quaint. It is very basic, but very comfortable. If you are looking for a convenient place to spend a night or two, this is it. If you stay out in a cabin, trailer or yurt, you get the Alaska experience of an outhouse, although there are warm, clean bathrooms and shower facilities in the main lodge. On my list for places to stay in Seward.

Lovely cottage.

I stayed in a lovely cottage with a bedroom, small living room, bathroom, kitchen, and patio. The cottage is different from the yurts. Convenient for hiking the Harding Icefield.

Nauti Otter is not your "run of the mill" place to stay. It's like a combination of glamping airbnb! This is my second time staying here, and I so appreciate the well stocked and comfortable yurts I've stayed in! The Raven's Roost yurt was exceptional with lights, heat, and cozy decorations. You can make your own waffles in the morning, and everything is clean and in the middle of a beautiful forest. Also, if you are social you can sit and chat by the camp fire in the evenings! Love the vibes!

If the common area lighting was on a timer that turned off at ten PM it would cut down on the after hours noisy guests and you would save money

We stayed in one of the vintage camper trailers. The mattress I slept is due for retirement. And more hooks for hanging towels, clothes, and other stuff would enhance this unique and fun experience. We enjoy the common areas, good coffee, and visiting with other guests!

There is not clear bedroom instructions and details about the hostel staying. There was no where on the website stating that the hostel rooms are shared with men and women. Me and my friend who are two young girls traveling alone got separated and had to stay in separate rooms. And my friend ended up being the only girl in a room full of adult men and we had to leave a day earlier. The manger didn’t give us any other options and only wanted our money and didn’t give a proper refund. The cabins we horribly small and were very dusty and dirty and felt slightly unsafe. Do not recommend for solo travel or girl travel.

We have never stayed in yurts previously and truly enjoyed the experience. Bed was very comfortable, yurt was airy and spacious with anything we might need. Showers and bathrooms were clean and available. The group kitchen with storage worked perfectly. We would love to stay here again.

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.
