A great place to stay!
The property is secluded and quiet. It has an outdoor area with a fire pit and plenty of room to socialize. The interior is Alaskana, with mounted animals (including a brown bear). Very clean and nice. I highly reccomend.

First trip to Alaska
This house was perfect for our family, and centrally located to all our planned activities! Check-in was a breeze and the home had everything we needed. At the end of a busy day of fun, we relaxed by the fire pit, and played corn hole and horse shoes! Lona is the perfect host! We will definitely stay there again, if we make it back to Alaska!

Nice place / very well equipped
The Sportsman home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, open concept kitchen and family room and were all very nice sized. Furniture and beds were comfortable and everything was very clean.The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you could need. Great decor if you are a sportsman.The host made our check in easy. They live very close by and stopped by to see if we needed anything but then gave us our privacy too.Our only regret was we only planned a one night stay.

Seward gem
Spent a couple nights here, and had a very pleasant stay. Dean and Lona could not have been more welcoming. The home is clean and well-appointed, and has a lot of nice touches, like the outdoor area for grilling and games. Would love to return here sometime.

Wonderfully Comfortable Alaskan Cabin
We had an amazing stay, you have a wonderful rental and we were blown away by the cabin. Your attention to details from your hand quilted bed toppers, hand sewn placemats and any kitchen accessories you could possibly need did not go unnoticed. The mounts, skulls and furs are an impressive collection and were thoroughly checked out by my dad and Husband. We are a fellow hunting family so we know the work and enjoyment taken in the collection. We will be returning for many swim meets in the future and yours will be the first place I check for availability when I’m ready to make reservations in the future.

Incredible Property
This was an incredible property. There were 3 bedrooms which each had a queen bed. 3 couples (6 people) stayed very comfortably. There were two full bathrooms. The property was fully stocked. The owners live next door and came and visited when we checked in and they were very friendly and helpful. This was one of the best and most beautiful homes I've stayed in. Would 100% recommend to anyone else in the future.

Hunter's museum
We had a fantastic stay at the Alaskan Sportsman’s Home in Seward. The bear-themed decor was charming, and the property was thoughtfully designed addressing all our needs. Spacious beds with firm mattresses ensured a great night’s sleep. The kitchen was well-equipped with sharp knives, themed tableware and useful gadgets making meal prep a breeze. Lona personally greeted us and provided useful tips that made our stay unforgettable.
