    Very comfortable and charming accommodation with the ‘Bear’ theme throughout. Everything you need for a stay was provided and great location for trains, boat trips from marina and Safeway only a short walk away. Our host Shari went over and above with her hospitality.

    There was nowhere in the bathroom to put toiletries. We ended up putting them on the dining table.

    Close to small boat harbor, restaurants and grocery store. Also close to train depot, where free shuttle picks up. Accessible by convenient pedestrian underpass under highway. Appreciated coffee maker with coffee and filters, as well as gas grill for cooking dinner. Microwave, fridge, dishes and grill tools also provided. View of the harbor was wonderful.

    From our perspective it was overpriced.

    Very nice apartment, we felt really good. We good welcome cookies☺️ The owners were really friendly and the location was just perfect - few minutes walking from the marina and also the shops were nearby.

    Although we arrived late, the owner’s instructions we have received in advance were enough for a straightforward self-checkin. The property is very close to the harbor, which is the departure point for the cruises.

    A little pricey for how small it is, but we booked last minute and it was probably prime time in Seward. For a family of 6, it worked but felt like a cramped hotel room. We would stay again but not with a party of 6.

    Close to town, exceptionally clean, friendly and quick to respond staff, convenient, Wi-Fi, fully stocked with everything we needed. Cookies from Shari when we checked in :)

    Electric boiler on 2nd storey would have been good. Also would be good if the way to enter the b&b was sent earlier as I didn’t have WiFi on the day itself when the email was sent on how to enter the house.

    Great stay. Really liked the decorations around the place, was all Alaska themed and the owners put A lot of effort into making the house comfortable. I liked that there was Netflix.

    Very nicely decorated, with 2 queens beds and one sofa bed. The queen beds are comfortable though they move a lot - if the other person in the bed moves, you'll move as well. It woke me up it couple of times but I am a very light sleeper and overall slept really well. We didn't realize the sofa bed could be opened (and didn't ask either) but it was long enough and comfortable for one person to sleep on it. Sheets are provided as well. The heater worked very well. There are blackout shades for the early morning sun. We did not hear our neighbors downstairs, overall the place was very quiet. The bathroom was nice but it was difficult for towels to dry - recommend taking them out of the bathroom. There is shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion available. Good water pressure that you can regulate, hot water comes out quickly. The place is also very conveniently located, you can walk in 10min or less to the harbor where most restaurants are, and boat tours depart. Staff incredibly nice, very responsive, and also had some delicious cookies waiting for us on arrival!!

    The only thing we didn't like, was that we couldn't stay longer!!

    The Bear's Den #3 was absolutely AMAZING!!! Shari was the best hostess. The Den was so clean, huge and walkable to the free shuttle which took us every where we wanted to go. I highly recommend The Bear's Den #3. I would love to get back to Seward and would only stay here!! Thanks Shari for everything.

    Everything was great.

    The location of the Bears Den is great. It is close enough to walk to the dock area or the grocery store, but far enough a way that the crowds aren't an issue. Our unit was spacious and private.
