    The location is amazing--you can walk to just about anything in town but it's separated from the very busy section so it is quiet. Paige is warm and friendly and offered great suggestions on local activities.

    Everything was wonderful! They went out of their way to make our stay a pleasure. I certainly appreciate that they fixed a breakfast to go for us when we had our fishing excursion! That was over the top!

Paige
The Swan Nest Inn is located on the second floor of a historic building in downtown Seward constructed in 1918, so we are only accessible via a covered outdoor flight of stairs. Rooms at A Swan Nest Inn have a queen bed on the main floor of the room and two twin bunk beds in a low ceiling loft that is accessible by a ladder. This is a compact room built with the intent for affordable lodging for families (kids love the loft, but it can be tight for grown ups!). We look forward to seeing you this season!
The owners and staff at A Swan Nest Inn are Seward residents and are full of fantastic local information.
We are located in the downtown Seward area, two streets parallel to 4th avenue, the main street in Seward.
