About this property

Cozy bungalow in the forest

Property Description: Woodland Retreat sits on a large, private lot that it shares with a small 1 bedroom cabin. The property is surrounded by trees and is just a short drive from town. Because the Woodland Retreat borders state land, it feels as though you are the edge of the wilderness, yet it is a very modern and well-appointed home. Fully remodeled with guests in mind, the house is thoughtfully decorated and equipped. After a long day of play in the Seward area, the Retreat offers a comfortable place to relax. Games, books, WiFi and TV with roku box are available for when it’s time to wind down or rest after a busy day. A spacious deck lies off the back of the house, providing a great spot for barbecues and relaxation during the long Alaskan summer evenings.

UPDATE: We have had the pleasure of sharing Woodland Retreat with guests from around the world since December, 2019. This year we decided to expand our offerings by adding a small cabin to the property. We are very excited about this recent endeavor and will be working feverishly throughout the winter/spring of 2023-24 to complete our project. We have updated our septic system in order to meet the increased needs of the property, which means we will also be reseeding our backyard and bringing in a new and improved fire ring. While the cabin work will be done by spring, the yard work cannot take place until May or June (depending on the when the snow melts), so the back yard will be in the early stages of growth during the summer of 2024. We hope you understand and are still pleased with your stay.

NOTE: The cabin and Woodland Retreat do not share parking or outdoor areas with each other and guests should have little to no interaction with unless they wish.

Great spot
We had a great time in Alaska and this property was the perfect base camp for us. Would definitely stay there again. We actually walked around the block the morning of our last day there and came upon a grizzly so you are close to nature here for sure!

Family retreat
We had four adults and four kids with us. We were gone exploring most days but the location outside of Seward served as an excellent base. The house is quaint but could use a few updates to the beds and towels. The Kurig coffee maker had a good supply of cups but it would be better to list that it only has a Kurig and not a standard coffee pot, for which we brought ground coffee to use.

Perfect Little Alaskan Home
This property was perfect for us, my husband, adult daughter and myself. Nestled in a wooded lot in a quiet area. We heard a Bald Eagle call a couple of times off in the distance and woke up to Varied Thrush singing from the woods out back. Beautiful Stellar’s Jays made appearances several times throughout the day. The house had everything we needed.

1st trip to Seward
We had a great time in Seward, the cabin was exactly as represented clean, comfortable and priced right. Be sure to take the national park cruise in was wonderful. Being from Florida the whole experience has been amazing. On to Homer. Thanks Karl Johnson

Great Getaway!
This was by far the best place we have stayed in Alaska. It was very clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The extra blankets were especially enjoyed by out of state family members. The area around the house was quiet as well as a quick drive to fishing areas and downtown Seward. I will save this location for future rental. Nothing beats a comfortable home while being away from home.

Perfect for a family.
The home is perfect for a family of 6. It is even better than the listing. The kitchen had all amenities needed to make meals. The beds were comfortable and plenty of warm blankets to keep us southerners warm. The kids enjoyed playing in the snow in the yard. Close to all the activities in the area. Great place!

Great place to stay!
This little cabin was perfect for our short stay in Seward. The location was great; nice, quiet, and cozy. The cabin was stocked well and very clean. Communication between us and the property owners was seamless. I would highly recommend this cabin if you're looking for a place to stay while you visit the Seward area.

Moose in Yard!
Simple wooded home, and had a local moose and calf decide to spend the night in the backyard. In the a.m. they were still there, eating and lounging about. So incredible to see!

Good set up
Number of beds worked out great. Good sized kitchen and living area. Quilts were beautiful. The small bathroom tub faucet handle needs fixed. Take slippers if you go in the winter- floors are chilly. Getting in the driveway was a challenge during spring break up for one of our vehicles. Convenient location for Seward activities.

Great Location
This was a great location if you are looking to explore Seward and the Kenai Fjords NP. Very close to all. The property was clean and cozy and the owner was very responsive to our questions. The only downside to this property was that is was not very well provisioned with some of the basics that we have come to expect with VRBO properties - coffee creamer, sugar, salt and pepper, tissues and cleaning spray, for example. We still very much enjoyed our stay!
