Alaska Paddle Inn

Top choice in Seward


Two custom-built rooms and two gorgeous houses overlook a private beach and Resurrection Bay on Lowell Point. Arched ceilings, walk-in tiled showers and gas fireplaces make this place one of the coziest and classiest places in Seward. The Main House ($280 per night) is cozy, while Spruce House ($295 to $395) is larger and better for groups.
