Melissa has a beautiful home that we thoroughly enjoyed. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, and felt very safe. The view of the snow-capped mountains from the living room window was absolutely stunning. The rooms are spacious, beautifully furnished, and very comfortable. The beds are authentic wood made and so comfortable.We truly loved our stay and look forward to returning in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay in Seward. The house was very large for us, 2 couples, with a nice size kitchen and dining room and a comfortable couch in the family room. The beds were very comfortable. I would highly recommend this place to other visitors!

Perfect location. Everything you need!

This house was in the perfect location and was exceptionally clean with everything a family could need for a stay in the Seward area. The hosts live on property but were very hospitable and gave us privacy. There was plenty of parking, convenient to Seward, groceries, and amenities, and was easy to find. The beds were comfortable and encased in sealed mattress protectors. The kitchen was well stocked and there was a washer and dryer! We would definitely stay there again!

Clean and very comfortable. The bedding was quite nice - softest sheets!! The kitchen was well-stocked and everything was in good working order. Lovely, wooded neighborhood - very quiet and peaceful. We found the location to be quite convenient - it’s about a 10min drive to Safeway for groceries and just another 2-3min past that and you’re in downtown Seward.
