We just got home from our 10 day Alaska vacation and wow what a trip! When we first booked our stay with the Ballaine House B&B we were sent an email that was packed with helpful information about Seward. We were shocked at the amount of things to do while staying in Seward and decided to spend the magority of... More

Where else will the host do your laundry, cook you a customize breakfast, and go out to buy you organic cheese? Well, Marlee makes it all happen. She even helped us plan most of our trip. We could not ask for more. The B&B is clean, cozy, spacious, and definitely has a great home away from home feel to it.... More

This is the best bed and breakfast I have ever stayed at. The host is absolutely the nicest person you will ever have take care of you. We hiked all day in the poring rain and when we got back she insisted on not just washing those clothes but all the clothes from our travels. She then washed several loads... More

Nice charming historical house and rooms. Caring, warm, knowledgeable and very helpful host/owner. Absolutely enjoyed our family's (husband & wife, 10 yo boy and 15 yo girl) two night 3 day stay at this place. Agreed with all the people who gave 5 star ratings.

I was a little skeptical about sharing a bathroom with 2 other bedrooms but everyone was considerate and it worked out fine. Angelina, our hostess worked hard for all the guests comfort and somehow managed to make different breakfasts for everyone each day. The breakfast selection was great and though not " gourmet" was tasty and substantial. The location on... More

What a great start to a new found way to travel. I loved the instant comfort of the home. Angelia was great, what a hard worker. She made everything easy for us 1st timers. We had the room on the first floor next to the kitchen. Very comfortable and quaint. The home was built in 1905 and Seward was founded... More

Marilee, the owner, was extremely helpful even before I arrived. After I inquired about reservations via email, she replied with lots of information about things to see and do in and around Seward. She also made reservations for me on a sightseeing boat, passing along her commission which doubled my discount from 10 to 20 percent. I didn't get a... More

Marilee, the woman who owns and runs the B&B was warm and welcoming. She was helpful with information with the tours and the activities in Seward. She made us feel completely at home. The place was comfortable and felt like a home. We highly recommend this B&B. Thanks Marilee for making our stay a memorable one! William & Jenny

Ballaine House Lodging is simply the best B&B we have ever stayed in, bar none. That is because the hostess, Marilee, went so unbelievably far out of her way to make the visit to her B&B and her town the best experience possible. Our visit started with Marilee picking us up at the train station. (There is now a free... More
