Sporting a fun Alaskan bush pilot theme, the Taildragger Inn sits nestled at the base of the Mt. Marathon. This one bedroom apartment is ideally located within walking distance of downtown Seward and the boat harbor. Hiking trails are just around the corner, including the renowned "runner's trail" up Mt. Marathon - Although connected to the main house, the apartment uses a separate entrance and does not share space with the owners, affording you privacy. The apartment is compact, yet meets all of your needs with a full kitchen, 3/4 bathroom, and bed space for four. After a long day adventuring around the Seward area, you can relax on the couch and enjoy a movie on Netflix or take in the long Alaskan daylight outside around the fire pit.

This apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It’s roomy for two people - bigger than most hotel rooms. It’s clean and has all the conveniences of a small home. Checkin is very easy as you receive the door code prior to your stay.

The bed is so comfy! The coffee is great! Clean, outdoor porch with grill (if the weather was nicer I'd have used it) but winter just didn't allow for it. Jill and her hubby have done a great job decorating and making this a "go to" option in Seward. Thank you!

The place was charming and super comfortable and welcoming. It’s in a great location and was easy to get to wherever we needed to go. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cute and cozy unit set in a tranquil residential area. It was very walkable and super close to the free shuttle around town. This place is exceptionally clean and well appointed. A must mention is the quality of the bedding. I LOVE the sheets and other bedding. The bed was super comfy with great hotel style pillows. I had to untuck the sheets all around to find out the brand and am going to order them for my own bed!!! Jill was awesome. Super nice and communicative. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!

Great location, loved the theme decor. All the little extras much appreciated. (Coffee, treats, books). Highly recommend the Taildragger Inn.
8.0
We enjoyed our stay. Bed was nice, good bedding, pillows, no squeaking! Limited tv options…. Netflix was all we could figure out. Walkable to town, and Mt Marathon trail head. We did Jeep trail which was pretty tough, but a great sense of accomplishment. Enjoyed Rockfish tacos at place in town, and Jdock fishing. Easy dealing with host. You can hear footsteps upstairs as you would in any 2 story dwelling, didn’t bother us at all.

Our stay was great! The property was clean and the decorations gave it a real Alaskan feel. Very close to lots of restaurants. The host was very friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond. The VRBO is part of an attached home so you will hear footsteps above you, but it was not too bad. Would stay here again!

We loved our stay! It was perfect for the 2 of us. Clean, cozy & convenient! The property was located close to the harbor…we were able to walk there for our boat tour (~1/2 mile). The chilly weather during our visit was quickly dispelled by the great heater in the apartment. Highly recommend this Seward property!

We highly recommend this property! The host is so accommodating. We had to change our dates and Jill was so easy to work with. We arrived early on our first day and as the cottage was available, our host let us check in early. This was great as we could settle in with all our stuff prior to exploring the area for the rest of the day.
The cottage was perfect for our needs and well provisioned. It is in a great location...close to downtown area and also to the dock area where most tours leave from. It sits near Marathon mountain in a nice quiet spot. Book this place!

This small place was exactly what was advertised. Host provided lots of good information about the local area (including restaurant recommendations). Nicely decorated, great location, and some pretty touches (flower baskets outside). We had a good time and would happily recommend it again.

The property is located between the harbor area and historic Seward. Each is easily accessible but a car is needed.
The owner is clearly interested in the comfort of her guests. The accommodations are well maintained.

The Taildragger was absolutely perfect! It was a comfortable place to come home to after each day’s adventures. It’s absolutely beautiful and is in the perfect location to get to dining, excursions and shopping quickly! We will be back!

Cute, cozy little place within walking distance to downtown Seward, yet still very quiet area. Loved our stay here!
8.0
Very clean, nice layout. Although the location was extremely quiet there was plenty of noise from above. Unit is below owners quarters. Just about every time they walked the ceiling would squeak.
10.0
Excellent Location. Extremely clean. Only issue was TV hard to use, internet was slow. Easy check in and check out. A foot stool is needed for the couch so tenants can prop there feet out. Coffee selection was off the charts. Would definitely rent the property again if in Seward. So 9.9 out of 10. Nothing is perfect!
10.0
Clean, well organized property. Hosts are knowledgeable of the area and kind. Will stay again!

Great location to everything. Nice touches like snacks and coffee left for us. Only “con” would be we could hear footsteps above us and wondered how sound proof the walls were.

You couldn’t have a better location for your stay. Close to water, town, and great hikes. The hosts are wonderful as well. The place is very roomy, clean, and has everything you need. You can hear the owners upstairs , however they really make an effort to be quiet. Would definitely recommend this place.

Great Little Apartment!
This apartment was absolutely perfect for my grandson and I. He slept on the sleeper sofa which looked new and it was perfect for him. Everything was very clean and well taken care of. Kitchen was very well stocked. We had one small issue with the heater and the owners immediately responded and took care of things. Location couldn’t have been better. We didn’t have the greatest weather so drove into town instead of walked but walking would have been the choice and easily done. We could hear the owners upstairs sometimes but it was not intrusive at all. The only suggestion we would have (from my grandson) is black out shades or drapes. Depending on the time of year, it would help. Although I wore an eye mask which did the trick! Thank you Jill and Ronn for great accommodations!

Fantastic!
The property was very clean and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. It is within walking distance to the downtown shops and restaurants and is only a couple of blocks from one of the free shuttle stops. We would definitely stay here again.

Clean, Friendly and Close to Town
Walking in you can feel the warmth. This place was very clean and even had all the amenities of a home including snacks!
The bed was comfy and felt great after a full day fishing and hiking. Owners were always accommodating!!

Book With Confidence!
Second time staying at one of Jill Hemstock’s vacation rentals. Both were super clean! Loved the thoughtful extras such as coffee, condiments and cleaning supplies. This particular property is located in downtown Seward, within walking distance of the marina (~ one mile), the aquarium (~one-half mile) and everything in between. During the summer, there is a free shuttle that stops a few blocks away. We used this shuttle to get from the train station to the VRBO and to/ from the Safeway. Hope to book again sometime soon!
