We stayed in the reindeer cabin. It was very charming and perfect for our group of 4. It was funny because we all had our own twin bed! Parking was right outside the door; we had a personal fire pit, and we were right next to the communal area with picnic tables and BBQ grills. The host was friendly when we checked in. Short drive to Seward and the National Park.

We were pleasantly surprised that the Octopus yurt was so comfortable. What a nice way to spend the night! Our original reservation with another place did not work out, so in desperation we stayed at the Nauti Otter. It was great. Very nice for the two of us. I would recommend it.

This place is a hoot. Each "room" is actually just a small stand-alone structure: mine was a small cabin and the guy next to me was staying in one of those old '50s trailers. Bathrooms and showers are good; can either use the ones outside the main house or those inside. Really fun place. Only a few minutes north of town. Okay to cook your own food in the main house, which has 2 kitchens. Good choice to stay there as long as you don't need a big room.

The best way to describe this property is quaint. It is very basic, but very comfortable. If you are looking for a convenient place to spend a night or two, this is it. If you stay out in a cabin, trailer or yurt, you get the Alaska experience of an outhouse, although there are warm, clean bathrooms and shower facilities in the main lodge. On my list for places to stay in Seward.

Easy way to enjoy@

The two-night stay was great, in a calm and quiet place, even though it was close to the Alaska Railway. The room was tidy and functional, the service was excellent, and the owner was a wonderful person. The location was very close to Exit Glacier, one of Seward's land attractions. Oh, the stay reminded me of my childhood and youth scouting days.
