The other reviewers have said it - this is a great place! The Havenwood Guest House is well appointed, with everything you could want to have your own little place in the woods. I've stayed in other places / vacation rentals before in Seward and this is so far my favorite. There isn't a detail that isn't missed, and everything... More

One of the best parts of our two week vacation was our stay at Havenwood, top notch in every aspect. It was like we had our very own house to ourselves. The guest house has everything you could want for a extended stay, laundry, kitchen, large bedrooms. We spent two nights here, while traveling into Seward for our day trips.... More

We were greeted with a pleasant surprise pulling into the drive way. The house is surrounded by beautiful woods, on a quiet street. Inside is even better, spacious, clean and very well equipped with everything a family needs to make a vacation home away from home. I can't say enough about this place and wish we had more time to... More

Great hospitality: a warm welcome greeting, freshly baked cookies on the table, milk in the fridge... The house is beautiful, impeccably clean and nicely decorated, the beds are comfy, the view of the mountains from the jaccuzi is peaceful. Totally secluded yet close to town and Exit glacier.

My adult son and I took a week-end trip to Alaska, and spent only one night at the Guest House. The accommodations were perfect for us, with a separate bedroom and large loft with another cozy bed, plus a living/dining room and kitchen. I loved the large windows, and the excellent condition. It looks just like the photos on-line. The... More

We stayed here for a week and loved the place. We were on a family vacation (two adults and two children) and it was perfect for us. She even had a few games and toys for the kids to play with. We found the place to be very comfortable and inviting :) The kids loved having the loft to sleep... More

The Host Karen Chase provides the most comfortable setting after all your little day trips in Seward, Alaska!! The Guest House was spotless and she even made us homemade goodies!! Our Grandchildren loved the Hot Tub!!! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for everything you need to relax in Alaska!!! Andrea Rickards

Havenwood is an exceptional place to stay. It has a full kitchen with all of the amenities necessary. Plenty of room to move around and plenty of sleeping areas. A number of the beds are in the loft, and it can be difficult getting suitcases up into the loft and down. That's where the younger adults or children come in... More

Perfect place to stay if dirt and hair are not a priority. We would not stay here again because of the hair in bathroom left from prevous guests. We would give it 5 stars if it was clean. Owners very very nice. Place could be perfect after cleaned.

We absolutely loved staying at the Havenwood Guest House. It was the best place we stayed in Alaska. The hosts are very welcoming and make you feel at home (Karen even made us fresh baked goods everyday). The entire placed is remarkably furnished with very comfortable beds and furniture. Everything was very clean. The guesthouse included many extra perks that... More
