Just what we needed

Great place to stay for us five adults! A short drive from Seward in the woods near a creek. Plenty of space to spread out, easy access and a fully furnished kitchen. Everything was tidy and exactly as described. The hosts were very helpful as well and we definitely recommend Tiehacker Lodging,

Fishing trip

Not very peaceful and seems like an impound lot of the owners vehicles, the property didn’t add to the Alaska experience we were hoping for.

Perfect location. Everything you need!

This house was in the perfect location and was exceptionally clean with everything a family could need for a stay in the Seward area. The hosts live on property but were very hospitable and gave us privacy. There was plenty of parking, convenient to Seward, groceries, and amenities, and was easy to find. The beds were comfortable and encased in sealed mattress protectors. The kitchen was well stocked and there was a washer and dryer! We would definitely stay there again!

Convenient lodging

This apartment was spacious and in a convenient location. The wifi worked well and the yard was nice for the kids to play in. It was also nice having a laundry room available. However, I was disappointed that the bathroom and kitchen weren't clean at time of check in. I ended up clorox wiping them down to clean.

Convenient access to Seward and Kenai Peninsula

The best aspect of this property is its location. We really wanted to visit the Kenai National Park on foot and by boat. We enjoyed being tourists in Seward, visiting the small shops, coffee houses, Aquarium and had a nice seafood dinner. The property was functional but less inviting compared with other properties we stayed in. For example, on entering the property there is a rather small area to remove shoes (Alsakan practice) with a metal folding chair. The first night was chilly, and the comforters were too light for us. We had to take a blanket from the living room and found another in the laundry room to keep warm. The bathroom was quite small for our group of 5. Nonetheless, given the options for accommodations in the area and the access the property provided to this part of Alaska, I don't regret staying there.

Great location, clean, great hosts

This home is the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed. Very comfortable and spacious. It is a perfect location if you like to hike and enjoy nature as it is a short walk to some nice trails. The hosts are very nice and accommodating. It is also a short drive to Seward which is a great town and the center for all your activities. I will stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay in Seward. The house was very large for us, 2 couples, with a nice size kitchen and dining room and a comfortable couch in the family room. The beds were very comfortable. I would highly recommend this place to other visitors!

Perfect for our needs

We booked Melissa's place for a workshop that was being held in Seward. Worked out better than a hotel because everyone had their own bedroom but was able to get to know each other in the communal areas. Place was very neat and the setting was beautiful. Thanks for letting us share your home!
