Beautiful downtown Seward

We had a great stay. Breakfast was amazing and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Property is beautiful and the location is in downtown Seward, walking distance to shops and short drive to harbor, but still quiet at night. We will stay there again when we visit Seward again.

This is a bed and breakfast owned and run by Sarah who is delightful! She makes homemade breakfast bread ( banana chip, lemon raspberry, blueberry rhubarb, etc) for breakfast along with made to order eggs, waffles, bacon, sausage and home fries. Great conversation around the breakfast table with fellow travelers and we thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay there. Very homey atmosphere.
