About this house rental

This is a beautiful, custom-built log home located just outside of downtown Seward. The previous owners spent ten years building the house, and cut down and hand-peeled all the logs themselves. It's a true Alaskan work of art.

We purchased the home in 2007, and live in a cabin just across the driveway. We are around to help with local activities and information and make sure you get the most out of your vacation! We're happy to engage and assist in any way we can, but we also respect your private space.

This house provides a very comfortable home-away-from-home while you're traveling, with all the amenities. The full kitchen is there for your use, there are large common areas - a huge slate fireplace surrounded by leather couches, Smart TV / VCR / DVD / High speed Wi-Fi / Stereo / Sonos, a grill and hot tub on the large front deck, a small covered back deck, etc. We have a washer / dryer and beautiful laundry room available for guest use. The house is modern and very clean, but cozy and comfortable. End your day relaxing in the hot tub or grilling up your fresh catch. We have a fire pit with firewood and horseshoe pits that guests are welcome to use.

For the 2025 season, we're starting a new partnership with a local company who will rent out and deliver a clean, modern, portable sauna to our property or other locations for you. Enjoy a nice sauna right in the back yard, or have it delivered to a local lake or beach and dance between the hot steam and the cold plunge. We'll provide more information about this upon booking your stay with us... but they'll offer a significant discount to our guests!

We can book Kenai Fjords Tours boat trips for you at a significant discount, as well!

We require completion of our online rental agreement at the time of booking - so please be sure to do that right away after you've made your reservation!

We do strictly limit the number of people using the house to the people listed on the rental agreement, at a maximum of 10 - including children.

Our pricing is a base cost for 6 people. Beyond those first 6 guests, up to the 10-person maximum, there is a $20 / person / night charge.

** Please note that we do have Ring security cameras on the two entrances to our personal cabin on the property, as well as one at the garage area of the lodge building, and one by the back shed. There are no cameras inside the lodge, and no cameras that will sense motion or audio on the deck or your private areas of the lodge. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. These cameras are in place for security reasons only.

Group of eight eager fisherman on a one week fun week of fishing from Wisconsin. Clean and comfortable home to use as a base for our adventures. Everything accurate on the listing description. Plenty of space within to relax, and only a 5 minute drive to the docks, restaurants and shopping. Thank you hosts for allowing us stay and enjoy Seward

Excellent home for our family trip to Seward. The host was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed the well stocked kitchen and the hot tub after long days exploring the beautiful area. Very comfortable!

This home was by far our favorite accommodation during our 12 day stay in Alaska. Bear Paw Lodge has been decorated and stocked very thoughtfully for a comfortable stay. There was plenty of space for our family, and everyone enjoyed the private hot tub on the deck. Having a washer and dryer in the house was very useful. The wifi was good and definitely the best we encountered during our trip (including Alyeska and multiple cabins). The location was quiet and peaceful and just a short drive to anywhere we wanted to go in the Seward area. We especially enjoyed the mama moose and her calves hanging out in the yard on the final morning of our stay. Thank you, Wendy!

This home is a beautiful log home. It accommodated our family of 6 comfortably. It had all the amenities that we needed. The hot tub was spectacular after a cool day on the water. We will definitely stay here again if we visit Seward in the future!
