Luxury Historic Seward Vacation Rental (#43422)

Seward, Alaska

Description of the Seward vacation guesthouse rental

This private old-world setting is conveniently located minutes from downtown Seward, but enjoys sun-drenched summer evenings with warm sea breezes whispering through century-old Sitka spruce several hours longer than those on the other side of the Bay.

The vintage railcar and it’s two wings are handsomely furnished with treasured antiques, family heirlooms, oriental carpets, rich exotic hardwoods, original local artwork, and modern amenities.

It reflects a refined country feeling that mirrors the sensibilities and spirt of this unique, vibrant land.

This carefully secluded retreat’s thirteen acres offer ample space to relax in timeless beauty while enjoying luxury designed for the discriminating; a happy combination of casual elegance and privacy.

This is a most unusual place. Sophisticated with silky 800 thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, Ralph Lauren Estate comforters and bath robes, generous-sized sumptuous Egyptian cotton towels, on-demand hot water, Churchill Blue Willow china, and a double drawer dishwasher.

Whimsical with records from the 1930s-40s, relevant classical literature, a generous multi-media library which includes local recording artists and filmmakers, and a cabinet full of rainy day games. The space comfortably sleeps seven in a warm, charming, and quiet atmosphere.

Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the estate holds wildlife habitat ranging from old growth spruce forest to salmon streams, ponds, and marshes.

The view-shed of the property’s picnic area includes both the Mt. Marathon race trail and glacier. The Iditarod trailhead is a mile down the road. A private picnic and bonfire area allow for amazing mountain and glacier views.

Easy private hiking trails meet wildlife corridors and berry picking paths for a tranquil retreat where one can comfortably savor the ambiance of Kenai Fjords life.

It is a birder’s paradise with all of the endangered and threatened species that can be discovered here. View two bald eagle nests from the West Wing.
