We loved staying at Bear Creek. Great location, comfortable, well equipped and clean cabin, great host that was easy to communicate with. We would definitelystay here again
Would definitely stay here again, accommodations were great and attention to detail was excellent. A highlight was seeing a moose and her 2 little ones in the yard two evenings while we were there.
We had a great time staying at Ian’s place! The home was so cozy and well stocked. It was a great “home base” for adventuring and for having a chill evening.
We enjoyed our stay and were so comfortable in our lovely home away from home! Clean and well supplied with all the necessities, it was such a comfy place to enjoy our visit to Seward. This trip was a repeat for me but a first for my dear friends, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it!
Stopped off in Seward for a couple of days while road tripping on the peninsula. This home is in a great location. Good views from the house. Clean. Great property and only a short drive to town.
My family of 6 was very comfortable in this house. They have clearly put a lot of work into making it modern and cozy. It’s convenient to Seward and Cooper Landing day trips. Would definitely recommend.
We loved our stay at Ian’s cabin. It was a spacious, clean and well appointed 2 bedroom cabin, with lots of room for our family of 4. Seward is a very beautiful part of the world and it was so nice after having full days of activities, to return to this homely cabin in a very tranquil setting. Would highly recommend.
We had a great time - location is convenient and peaceful, about a 10 min drive from Seward center and there is a grocery store nearby. House was great and kitchen well-stocked - only request is one more dining chair, there were only four and there were five of us.
We loved our stay here away from the summer hustle of Seward. Ian was very communicative and provided excellent recommendations. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook and we appreciated being able to use the washer/dryer and wood stove, which included plenty of wood ready to use. Highly recommend Ian’s home for anyone visiting Seward. We would definitely return!
This was perfect for our needs. It had everything you would need and a comfortable atmosphere. We appreciated the personal touches that were included. We would definitely stay again!
Place was clean and comfortable for our stay in Seward. There was air fresheners used that everyone in our group really struggled with so keep in mind if you have sensitive folks in your group.
We enjoyed our stay at Ian’s home! Very clean, very comfortable, close to town, very well-stocked! Loved the fire pit and outdoor area and the sound of the creek! Thank you for the wine and the welcome basket!
Great property in a quiet location. We loved being able to play alongside the River and roasting marshmallows over the campfire.

About the host
Hosted by Ian Mudd
I first fell in love with the beauty of Alaska nine years ago and have been hooked ever since. During my time in Alaska I have worked many different jobs (Merchant Marine, Welding, Oil Industry, Carpentry) that have afforded me the opportunity to visit many different places in Alaska. After experiencing all this beauty I still feel Seward is the most beautiful of all! I am originally from Rhode Island and graduated from the International Yacht Restoration School in Newport, Rhode Island. I am a sailor by trade. My hobbies are fishing, exploring Alaska's coastal waters, hiking, woodworking and using my sawmill! I look forward to showing my guests the beauty of Alaska!
Why they chose this property
The views! From this house you get a clear unobstructed view of Mt Alice and the entire Chugach range! Godwin glaciers is also clearly visible, its crystal blue color calms your soul and clears your mind! Also, we have abundant wildlife with moose, bear, otters and rabbits visiting often. The house is also conveniently located about 5 miles to the center of Seward and 3 miles to the small boat harbor. Exit glacier is 7 miles away and most other activities are very close. Stoney Creek zipline is less than a mile from our cabin! We are also really excited about a new business located within one mile that is extremely interesting...Stoney Creek Brewery! .
What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is all the amenities inside as well as outside! The property is well suited for a family and secluded yet close to town.....you definitely don't have that "hotel" feeling, it gives you a sense of home. Additionally, as a established "local" I can provide you many insights the "average" traveler will never know about! Outside there is a large fire pit area and ample firewood....great for sharing the days stories and some smores! Located on the back of the property is a glacier fed stream that provides excellent views all the way to Resurrection Bay!
