“Cute little cabin in a magical setting. Tucked away in the Boréal rainforest, away from the busier camping areas of Miller’s landing, it was a great quiet place to relax while also being close enough to walk to the beach or start our kayaking adventures. Our host was very responsive and hospitable. We felt like we were all alone, yet could call if we needed anything. Would rent again!Thanks for such a great stay in Seward! We had a great weekend and your area was perfect. It felt like a magical fairy or troll forest with cute cabins according to our daughter. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and we are already talking about next year!”

Ronald - March 2019 Bear Glacier Cabin - Such a beautiful cabin. My family and I loved Laurie’s place so much, we are already trying to make plans to come back! The spot is cozy and a great place to get away from the city. Close to downtown Seward and was extremely convenient.
Kelsey - March 2019 Aialik Glacier Cabin - This is a very cozy place. Sleeps 4 comfortably and we chose it because it was pet friendly. It’s quiet also. There are 3 cabins close by, so you may have neighbors.

Michaela - March 2019 Bear Glacier Cabin - We had an amazing time at Laurie’s! We wanted to get away from Anchorage for a night and this place was just what we needed.

Andrew - Feb 2019 - Bear Glacier Cabin - Excellent place for a quick getaway. Can’t wait to stay there in the summer!
Jerry & Julie-Feb. 2019- Bear Glacier Cabin - This is a really cute little cabin in the woods. It has everything you need including a stove, microwave, fridge, silverware, pots, pans, coffee maker. It's a really short walk to the beach which is beautiful even in the winter. We really appreciated that they allow dogs as well.
Justin - Feb 2019 - Bear Glacier Cabin- Great place to stay!! Very good value for the money, you won’t be disappointed!!
Amanda - Feb 2019 - Bear Glacier Cabin - Cannot put into words how amazing this place is. We stayed two nights and had an absolute blast. Close enough to town if you need to grab something real quick, but far enough away to feel secluded. planning a trip here again in the near future.
Caitlin Feb 2019 - Bear Glacier Cabin - Serenity by the Sea cabins are quaint and cozy. We really enjoyed the amenities provided (full kitchen and bathroom) and the very comfortable master bed. There was a variety of movies for us to enjoy on a cold night in, and even hot cocoa to warm us up! Laurie was a great host, and let us know she was available at any time if needed.

This is the second time I’ve stayed at the Serenity by the Sea cabin, and it’s so lovely! I love how it’s tucked away in the woods, and then has such easy access to those gorgeous black sand beaches and vistas of the mountains all around the bay. It’s cosy and quiet, and the cabin has everything I needed, including a nice and efficient kitchen. Thanks again for the amazing hospitality!
Michael - December 2018- Bear Glacier Cabin - Airbnb Review
Wonderfully comfortable and cozy cabin a short walk from the waterfront in Lowell Point. The cabin was clean and the perfect size for a solo traveler! The gas heater/fireplace was an extra cozy addition, and kept the cabin nice and toasty, even though I visited in early December! I only had a very short stay, but was nonetheless able to enjoy the spectacular scenery afforded in Seward and Lowell Point. Recommended is the trail to Tonsina Point, which offers spectacular views of Resurrection Bay and the surrounding mountains. Thanks for a lovely, albeit short stay!

I can’t emphasize the positives enough. This little house is spotless, so cute, and QUIET! The gorgeous, moss-covered woods dampen any noise so you truly feel at peace. The beach is fantastic to walk and the view can’t be beat. Directions were simple and accurate, and I had everything I needed for a quick work trip, but I am keeping this place on my list for a romantic weekend getaway. Loved it!

We enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was bigger than we thought! The Millanes provided more than we needed so that was a bonus. I enjoyed all the thoughtful touches also. Would definitely come back again.
Alyson - September 2018- Bear Glacier Cabin - Airbnb Review
Although this is one of a small cluster of cabins, it is very quiet, and you might see a bear wander by or wake up to the sound of eagles (as I was). It is convenient to the beach and the best trail head, and only a short drive to town. This is a dog friendly place (emphasis on friendly!) but a great place to stay with or without your furry friend. I will definitely be back!

The photos accurately depict the cabin. The stairs to the upper loft are steep - probably not good for young children or if your eyesight/balance/coordination is not good. Which was a nice surprise was the size of and finishes to the bathroom - the shower is roomy and you don't have to worry about trying to squeeze into one of those small telephone booth sized things.

Michelle - August 2018- Bear Glacier Cabin - Airbnb Review
Bear glacier cabin was a cozy "home away from home" for our family of five (two teenage sons and 11 year old daughter). We were comfortable here for three nights and happy to be outside of downtown Seward. The cabin is space efficient and functional in every way. Meal times were a little tight between the kitchenette and dining space for four, but we easily made it work. It was great that everyone had their own space (private bedroom for parents, boys up in the loft, and daughter on the futon). We will happily stay here again if/when our travels bring us back to Alaska.
Laurie - August 2018- Bear Glacier Cabin - Airbnb Review
Great little cabin in the woods. It was very cute, warm and fun for us to come home to. A little tight for 6 women but we made it work. Would maybe be better for family with kids. But it was much better than a hotel in Seward, and fun to be out of town along the water. Kitchen and shower were great, Wi-Fi a little spotty. There is no oven, which it might have said in the write-up but if so we missed it. Still, great to be able to put up a pot of noodles after a day on the water. Would definitely recommend! Thank you fo sharing your corner of Alaska!
Jessica - July 2018- Bear Glacier Cabin - Airbnb Review
We took our family of 5 to Seward and stayed four nights. The cabin is little but cozy and warm. We just loved coming back at the end of the day to make dinner and relax. It's a little off the beaten path and the tree cover made those long summer nights easier to get to sleep. It was pretty rainy during our stay so we didn't get to use the outdoor spaces, except the grill. Just down the road was easy access to the beach. We had no issues during our stay so we didn't need to contact the owner. All in all we were super happy with our stay and the cabin.

"The Serenity cabins by the sea were perfect accommodations for the final leg of our Alaska trip. The Exit Glacier cabin was so comfy and much roomier than it appeared. You've truly thought of everything, form the shampoo/condition dispenser in the bathroom, to the collection of DVD's for rainy days, to everything in the kitchen we could possibly need. (P.S. if you are looking for the silverware, check the table by the window- it has drawers on the side) We've had an amazing time on our trip and hop to visit Seward, and the cabins, again in the future.

Cabin with loft for a teenager. Friendly owners and comfortable lodging. We liked the unique heating unit and stylish bathroom. Property itself is nice but access is hampered by a substandard muddy, severely potholed "road" from town that Seward does a horrible job of maintaining. Every time it rains (which is often), the road deteriorates into a suspension killing adventure. It is not fair that these properties and their guests must put up with this substandard maintenance.

Hi Mnz T!
Thanks so much for the wonderful review of our cabins. We're glad to hear your stay was great! It sounds as if your visit was during a time of particularly poor road conditions. We did have a period last summer where we experienced heavy rain and the road bed was washed out to the bedrock. We agree! It was terrible!
The good news is that since then the City of Seward has added materials to the 1.5 mile of gravel road to Lowell Point and the road is in much better condition. While we do still see some potholes when there are longer periods of heavy rain, in general the road is holding up so much better. Rumor has it the City has plans for even more additional bed work before next summer.
Thanks for sharing your honest feedback and we look forward to your next visit!

Sweet, small cabin, with everything that we needed. Quiet area and off the beaten track. No check-in contact made, which made things simple, a little unfriendly, but not a big deal, really. Screens were missing from a couple of windows, but having windows open didn't fill room with pests. We were happy with our stay. We loved the puzzles and videos in the cabin.

Hi Lorrie W,
Thanks for taking a moment to share info about your stay with us and with the TripAdvisor community! We're sorry we missed you at check in. We're usually around, but do keep the cabins as self check in so folks can have the flexibility to show up and just settle in whenever is convenient. Alaska travel plans can be very fluid and folks seem to appreciate the flexibility.
We did replace the missing window screen, and luckily we don't have much of a mosquito problem so close to the beach.
Thanks for visiting...and we hope to meet again!

The only negative I can share about this place is that we didn't stay long enough! It was an incredible place to stay to allow for an experience in Seward. We took a glacier cruise, which is highly recommended, walked the beach, amazing scenery, and went to the souvenir shops. A trip to Alaska would not be complete without staying here!!

Great location away from town...but not too far away. It was very quiet in the area. The owners are very relaxed and willing to help if you need them, but they also don't bother you if you don't need them. They were very kind to let us check in early after a red eye flight into Anchorage. We had 3 adults, an 11 & 13 year old staying in the Bear Glacier Cabin; it was "cozy," but enough space. There's a nice grocery store in Seward where you can buy groceries and cook if you want to save some money (restaurants in Alaska in general are pricey!). The cabin was very neat and an enjoyable stay. We booked several months in advance and definitely preferred staying here to hotel in town. I'd definitely recommend.

This is a tiny little cabin but it is really cute and very clean. It is in a great location. We could walk to the beach or to Miller's Landing for kayaking, fishing, cleaning laundry, etc. The kids loved the twin beds in the loft. The area was so quiet and relaxing. We had extra food left over. When we asked the owners what we should do with it, they told us they donated it to the local guides at Miller's Landing. We thought that was great. Also, one of our kids left something behind. We had no idea it was missing until we received it in the mail. That was so nice! We did have an issue with our water heater one morning but the owner was over in less than 5 minutes to fix it. He fixed it in no time and we didn't have any other issues. The service and friendliness and honesty of the owners/caretakers was so refreshing and much appreciated.
