Alaska View Lodge

Instantly enjoy the great Alaskan outdoors when you step off your porch. Walk out to Glacier Creek and experience the stunning 360 view and all it has to offer. At night enjoy a blazing outdoor bonfire Alaskan style (wood provided). Step away from the fire and experience the big Alaskan sky. Return inside and feel at home in your cozy 1300 sq ft. surroundings. Full kitchen and laundry, spacious bedrooms, comfortable beds, baths with tub shower combo, the wood stove, and 2 diesel wall heaters to keep you warm and cozy. Just minutes from town at mile 6.3 on the Seward Hwy, supplies and adventure are close at hand.

Beautiful, peaceful home surrounded by nature
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!

Great Location, Great Host!
First off, as soon as we booked, our host Ian sent us a fantastic curated list of all his recommended sights and activities near the property. It's clear he's very familiar with the area and has great recommendations for adults and families with kids of all ages. On the day of our checkout, Ian also informed us one of the neighbors reported an injured brown bear in the area and to be cautious when leaving. He really is attentive and looks out for you. The property is only 10 mins from downtown Seward making it very convenient to pop into town for whatever you need, yet feels very remote. And just beyond a low row of trees in the back yard is Bear Creek, which my family loved exploring with beautiful views of the mountains in both directions. It's also only a 20 min drive to Exit Glacier. This house was perfect for our stay in Seward and we couldn't have been happier!

Great house with nice yard
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.

Great cabin in Bear Creek
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.

The location was nice and quiet. We hoped to spot a bear who was recently seen but no luck. We enjoyed the wood stove and fire pit. My only suggestion would be to have lighting at the dining room table. It was a lovely surprise to be greeted with fruit and wine!

This was one of the most beautiful properties I have stayed at. It's well integrated into nature and encapsulates the spirit of wild Alaska. The cabin was plenty spacies with two bedrooms, a very well stocked kitchen (utensils and appliances) even for 6 people, a commodious living area and a lovely porch. The house has a huge backyard and easy access to a creek with sweeping views of all the mountains around the cabin. Ian was very thoughtful to leave a lot of extra sheets, towels, cleaning supplies, coffee pods, bear spray, fruits and even a bottle of wine! Ian was also generous to share his personal stock of firewood that allowed us to have a lovely campfire in the yard. We didn't have any issues with a wifi as well. Scott was super communicative and responded promptly and left a of suggestions for a variety of local activities and attractions prior to the trip. Overall we had a fantastic experience staying at the Alska View Lodge and I can't recommend it enough.

House was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed. We really appreciated the welcoming bottle of wine, fruit bowl and vase of wildflowers. Close to Seward, Exit Glacier, and Chugach National Forest. We enjoyed the creek behind the house and even had a black bear walk through the backyard!

Fantastic home base for Seward!
After several nights in 1 room cabins elsewhere in AK, it was really nice to spread out a bit and be able to do laundry. To be greeted by a big bowl of fruit, flowers and a bottle of wine, along with a note, was such a nice touch. The home is very well stocked and cared for, and it’s location just outside of Seward worked great for us. We did the Harding Ice Field hike followed by dinner at Resurrection Roadhouse the first day, then a Major Marine boat tour followed by dinner at Gold Rush Bistro the next day. The Safeway is conveniently located b/n the home and Seward, with an attached liquor store and an adjacent gas station. We had a great stay!
