Beautiful Spot!

We stopped here for 2 nights during our stay in Alaska. What a beautiful spot on the river! Scott was very communicative, the cabin was spotless, and the river view was absolutely stunning. It was also very close to town, which made everything super convenient. We truly loved staying here.The only small issue for me personally was the scent of a strong plug-in air freshener, as I’m quite sensitive to fragrances. Others may not notice it, but I wanted to mention it for fellow travelers with similar sensitivities. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay!

Best VRBO experience to date!!

Scott was great with communication and gave a great list of recommendations! We loved the cabin and being along the river. If we could we would stay the whole summer. We were welcomed with a nice little note on a custom postcard with a picture of the home. My daughter is an avid birder and Scott gave her peanuts to feed the stellar jay’s and magpie. We also watched the Bald Eagle family (mom,dad and juvenile). We watched them catch fish and eat them. This property is wonderful being just outside of Seward with access to all the major attractions.

A truly Alaskan experience

Such a charming cabin! It truly felt like Alaska with all the furnishings and the view out the windows was the best. We loved watching the bald eagles fly over the creek. If it hadn't rained our entire time, I would have loved to spend most of my time on the deck, listening to the creek and watching the birds. The location was top notch. In a very quiet neighborhood and yet, not that far from Seward. I can't recommend enough!

Great Place to Stay in Seward

My husband and I stayed at the Bear & Berry Lodge as part of our first visit to Alaska. It was just as described and in a great location about a 10 minute drive from all of the activities and restaurants in Seward. The cabin was cozy, clean and inviting, and the owner was very helpful and always responsive. Great place to stay in Seward.

Exceptional stay, Great host, Beautiful location

We stayed for 3 nights in Sweard at the Bear and Berry Lodge. Scott the Host was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and accommodating. He has a wealth of hunting and fishing knowledge and connected us with a vetted local guide for salmon fishing. We had a great time.

Beautiful cottage away from the bustle of Seward

My son and I had a wonderful stay here. It was so nice to come back to the peace and quiet after adventuring in the Seward area each day. We saw resident bald eagles each evening, and just missed out on seeing a bear cub. The property was spotless and had everything we needed. The owner had great suggestions on things to do in the area, and was super nice when we briefly met him on our way out. Great stay here! Would recommend.

Fishing, hiking and lots of relaxing

If you are looking for a great place the is quite but close to town this is it. We were close enough to town, hiking trails and fishing to enjoy all the amenities yet able to escape the hustle when we were at the house. We had a family of 4 stay here with no problems. We enjoyed looking out at all the animal everyday!! Hope to make this a yearly trip!! Thank you Scott and Melanie!!

A Great Stay in a Lovely Lodge

My husband and I spent three nights at the lodge and really enjoyed it. The space was large and perfect for the two of us, and the couch and tables were a nice touch to be able to spread out a bit. The scenery and creek were beautiful and it was so fun to watch the eagles fly by throughout the day. One morning I woke up to see an eagle eating a salmon on the riverbank - an only-in-Alaska experience.

Beautiful and convenient location

We loved this cozy cabin. They have big windows looking out on a creek and we watched bald eagles and other wildlife wander through. The cabin itself is well appointed- we were able to make whole meals here, especially with the bbq. It’s only a six minute drive to town yet feels secluded. We’d stay here again.

Cozy little cabin in Seward

We had a lovely stay at Bear and Berry Cabin. Scott, the property manager, was easy to communicate with and prompt to reply. He was extremely helpful and responsive to any questions we had and offered up tons of ideas and suggestions if things to do while in Seward. The cabin sits next to his home, but you wouldn't know it otherwise. Scott was never intrusive. We enjoyed speaking with him but he was also very respectful of giving us our privacy. The cabin itself was cute and cozy! The views were amazing. We saw several Eagles around the creek, a mama moose and her baby, and so many salmon in the creek. Even though you can't fish in that creek, it was entertaining to walk down by it and just watch! The cabin is at the end of a road, so very private. But it's also pretty close to town, about a 10min drive. We would definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area. We love to support our veterans, so you can't go wrong staying at this cabin!

Everything about our hosts and house was fantastic; we highly recommend you stay here. The views from the house were marvelous! The house was spotless and comfortable. The bald eagles right outside the house were gorgeous. One request if you stay: buy peanuts for the Stellar Jays and Magpies that will visit. The Stellar Jay ate right out of our hands.
