This was a wonderful, relaxing place to stay. The location was quiet but also conveniently close to Seward. Nicole’s breakfasts were wonderful, and she was so kind and helpful with local suggestions. Would absolutely stay here again!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfy and the linens weren't scratchy. I liked that they had multiple different weight/warmth blankets. We used the propane fire pit on the deck at night and it made for a perfect night. The bathroom was huge and very clean. Breakfast was great and they even packed a breakfast for us on the day we had an early excursion.

Comfortable, serene and cozy

The lodge is located in a very serene location, right by the Bear Creek with beautiful views. The hosts were awesome in communicating the instructions and accommodating special dietary restrictions. The room was cozy and fair enough for a one night stay. Special shout out to Skye, who was extra helpful with everything.

We stayed in one of the top rooms they have and unfortunately the building is build in a very non sound proof way. So we where able to hear our room neighbors zip up their pants, peeing in the toilet, showering, snoring, all of it… in the morning between 05:30 and 06:30 you will start hearing the staff preparing the breakfast and the smell from cooking will enter the room. Overall the house and surrounding is nice but the room should not be priced as a hotel room, if it would be priced as a hostel then it would be more understandable that you can hear other people but paying 360$ a night you would hope to have a restful sleep. Unfortunately not here. So even that the staff and house is nice I would personally not recommend staying here. 5/5 for the staff, they are very friendly and tried their best for us to have a good time at their place, after letting them know that we can hear everything they gave us earplugs. Unfortunately the earplugs wont help when the cooking in the morning starts and when people start talking.

Only 5 hours since checkin. So perhaps too early for a comprehensive review. But preliminarily the Bear Lake Lodge is excellent. Bre is a good host. Physical facilities such as our room, bathroom, common areas, parking all satisfactory. The views of the lake and trees…gorgeous. Unfortunately a cold snowy/rainy day but we accept what we get. The end of 20 glorious days all over Alaska. Would like to return and stay longer with Bear Lake. Btw, did a one hour flight with Joey (co-owner of Bear Lake Lodge and husband to Bre) of AA Seward Aid Tours over the Harding Ice Field. Stunning. Well worth the cost.

Comfortable stay

We stayed for two nights in the tiehacker room with a bathroom in the room. It was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was good and the ice cream bars at night were greatly appreciated. Unfortunately it rained during our stay so we did not use the lake but if the weather was better that would have been a blast.

he best B &B in Alaska!

There are tons of things to do right at the bed and breakfast. Canoeing, kayaking, watching bald eagles, seeing the salmon run are all right there. The hosts are very knowledgeable about the area and have binders full of restaurants in the area along with another binder with hiking trails. They are gracious enough to make you a copy of any hiking map you need. The beds were very comfortable and our rooms were spacious. Breakfast was delicious! Also who can pass up a homage ice cream treat in the evening? Our family highly recommends Bear Lake Lodgings.

Great amenities and location

Pat and Dennis (and innkeeper Margie) made sure everything was clean, comfortable, and relaxed. The large house is located in a beautiful location, secluded but only a short drive from Seward. Wish we‘d had time to partake of kayaking on the lake — and our booked activities left too early in the morning to partake of Margie’s home-cooked breakfasts, which sounded great. But she did make to-go breakfast/snack boxes for us, which was a nice touch and very appreciated. An unexpected treat was that they served free hand-dipped (in chocolate and rolled in toppings) gourmet ice cream bars in the evenings, and even at the shack they run in Seward. Great place for couples or families, just don’t do what we did... be sure to leave yourself some time to enjoy the breakfasts and the lake!
