Seward Scenic Alaska River Cottage Trail River Gardens 30791 Seward Highway

My wife Jennifer and I chose this spot on Trail River because of its incredible beauty. Trail River Gardens is located just 20 min from Seward in the heart of the Chugach mountains on beautiful Trail River. From our deck the river is just 50 feet away with the majestic Mount Madison as a back drop. There are lakes above and below us with mountains on all sides. You can walk to hiking trails to even more mountain lakes. If you like to hike and watch birds and other wildlife, then you will love it here at Trail River gardens.

The property is located on a beautiful River. We enjoyed watching the birds at the bird feeder. On our departure we saw a moose in the river like other visitors have seen. Everything was great. Three bathrooms was a plus. One minor issue that I just couldn’t solve….the WiFi worked on two Apple devices but none of the android devices. Obviously it was working for Apple devices so not the host’s issue. Thank you for your hospitality.

The cabin was so nice! The beds were comfortable and it was super clean. It did not have a living area which I was expecting. And the WiFi wasn’t reliable. The wrap around porch was lovely and it was situated next to the river and there were lots of birds. The location was wonderful, about 30 minutes north of Seward. The eat in kitchen worked for us, but it was small and there wasn’t much room for food prep. No stovetop but there was a heating element for pots and a microwave.

Great place on the river

We stayed two nights at the property and enjoyed it very much. The three bedrooms worked perfectly for us and our two adult children. The location was amazing - right on the Trail River. We enjoyed waking up on the river, and on the second morning, saw a bald eagle flying over the river.
