About this property

Beautiful Mountain Top Cabin with amazing views and private peaceful setting!

Welcome to the Mountain Top Cabin, a two story cabin in Seward, Alaska. Situated on a secluded hilltop and nestled among towering spruce and hemlock, this cabin affords spectacular views of Exit Glacier and the surrounding mountains. The cabin is on a private lot that borders the Chugach National Forest. A covered deck with seating is attached to the cabin for soaking in the awe inspiring views.

The main floor features an open living room, dining room, and kitchen area. The living room is well-appointed with beautiful leather furniture and satellite TV. The fully equipped kitchen includes an electric stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishes, and cooking utensils. The bathroom has a shower, toilet, towels, and hair dryer, as well as a washer and dryer.

The second floor features two bedrooms. The first bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed, dresser, two night stands and a cozy sitting area. The second bedroom includes a full size bed, a twin xl size bed, a dresser, night stand, and chair.

This cabin is equipped with both standard electricity and solar power. WiFi is provided for your convenience.

Outside the cabin is a fire pit, gas grill, and 7 cubic foot freezer for storing your fishing catch while in town. Plenty of parking is available onsite. A beautifully crafted cedar sauna with a changing room is also located next to the cabin to help you relax after a long day. The sauna is heated with a push button diesel fired stove.

We are located a short 10 minute drive from downtown Seward, where you will find the historic downtown area, the Alaska SeaLife Center, the small boat harbor, shopping, restaurants, deep sea fishing, whale watching, glacier viewing and much more.

Excellent views, interesting cabin
This is a unique property with an exceptional view off the rear deck & the large picture window. The cabin itself is very well stocked with anything you’ll need and has some unusual design features, such as: (1) A custom built Sauna that word very well (2) A separate 12 volt lighting system, which we didn’t need but I assume is there if grid power was lost (3) Lots of exposed EMT conduit instead of more typical electrical design. I assume that the Owner is a skilled tradesman, perhaps INEW or OE.

Breathtaking Stay
Home is very clean and comfortable. Very well stocked. Very private property with incredible views. We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely return if we are ever in Seward again. We saw a bear in the neighborhood and the northern lights one night.

Beautiful View and nice Cabin
We just had a couple of days here but it was a spectacular view of the mountains. We ate out both days so didn't use the kitchen at all but seemed well stocked. The sauna was great, the outdoor area had everything and the cabin is comfortable. Road going up to cabin is very dark if arriving late, there are some large pot holes that could do some damage to a rental car. Not the owners fault but should know. Would definitely return again and suggest to others however. View is worth it!

Beautiful views from authentic cabin
The cabin was perfect for our family and felt like an authentic Alaskan cabin that had all the updates needed for a comfortable stay. The seclusion and views were wonderful. The sauna was a special treat after wet and chilly days. The only downside was the long winding drive up to the top, making the distance to Seward a little longer than expected. Overall, it was a wonderful stay!

Small cabin just outside Seward. About a 15 min drive to the harbor; 20-25 min to Exit Glacier area of the Park. Views into the park were lovely and the property itself was clean and well organized.

Authentic 49er Miner's Cabin with that View!
We enjoyed our 3 nites here. We chose rustic and the view for our last vrbo cabin out of the 4 on our 2 week trip. We were one couple and two single guys, all just past retirement, but very mobile. That said, the stairs were challenging and even more so for the nightly trips to the bathroom downstairs. The cabin was well equipped with kitchen supplies, fluffy bathroom towels and laundry items. The living room area was nice with a recliner style love seat and comfortable casual chair. It would be nice if there was another casual chair for another person; but there are plenty of barstools to use. Center cabinet island worked well for food prep and eating meals with fold up extensions. The cabin was always comfortable with enough heating elements and it's also partially powered by solar panels and batteries. The beds were very comfortable. The extra treat is the large sauna that is easily operable that we used after our long hikes. The open decks, beautiful huge wood slab picnic table and spacious area around the cabin makes it nice to enjoy a true mountain retreat. The trip up the hill on solid dirt gravel streets (some quite bumpy) with many street changing turns tells you you're definitely going to be well off the beaten path. You go thru the forested neighborhood with many different style cabins, some nice and some makeshift camps, but don't let that feeling discourage you; because you are truly at the end of road and well secluded at the top of the mountain. True Alaskan!

Scenery is beautiful!
The cabin was well equiped with more than I expected, like laundry detergent, softner, shampoo, conditioner and soap. The view was spectacular! We saw a moose and her calf a couple of times on one of the roads heading down from the cabin. Just a few minutes from Seward and many hiking options available! We would stay again!

Special Little Hideaway
Was a nice and cozy cabin with a beautiful view on a nice property. Kitchen was well stocked with all of the necessities needed for our stay. Beds were comfortable. The drive to the cabin wasn't bad but our Maps app had us go on another road that had many holes and dips. We later found another route that was an easier drive with the roads being in a better condition. We would definitely return for a future stay.
