We had a great stay at Russ's place located on a beautiful river about a half hour outside Seward. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean. Although there is no stove (we knew that from the listing), we figured out the hot plate and it was fine for our purposes of cooking breakfast. The rest of the kitchen was well equipped. Russ was very communicative and very nicely agreed to send an item that we accidentally left in one of the rooms. We loved our time there!

Great place on the river

We stayed two nights at the property and enjoyed it very much. The three bedrooms worked perfectly for us and our two adult children. The location was amazing - right on the Trail River. We enjoyed waking up on the river, and on the second morning, saw a bald eagle flying over the river.

Beautiful riverside property

This home is located with a nice view of the river about 75yds away. We had campfires near the river with suppled wood. Cooked on the grill and hot plate (note there is no stove). The manager lives next door and checked on us to make sure all was ok. Wish our stay was longer!

**Peaceful River Retreat – Perfect Getaway!**We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The home is nestled right along the river, offering beautiful views and a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. It was exactly the relaxing escape we were looking for. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable, both indoors and out. The house was clean, well-equipped, and felt very welcoming. We especially loved sitting outside in the mornings and evenings, listening to the water and enjoying the natural surroundings. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a calm, scenic place to unwind!

Fabulous home by the river - so comfortable

We so enjoyed staying in this lovely home by the river. It has a great view of the river from the picture window and glass sliding doors. Also a wonderful patio overlooking the river. We would loved to have stayed longer. We were so grateful for the laundry room as we were mid way through our Alaska trip and in need of fresh clothes. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome property

This was a great place for our family trip. The property is beautiful next to the river with beautiful gardens. Russ and Jennifer were Very friendly. They even gave us a homemade Jar of rhubarb compote which was delicious. There is no living room just 3 bedrooms with queen beds amd 2 have Murphy beds 3 bathrooms kitchen and deck.We spent our time on the deck and by the firepit when the mosquitos werent too bad. I read in past reviews that there was no oven not oven is listed. We were able to use the grill amd the conduction plate to make our breakfasts amd dinner. Just had to be a little creative. Would definitely recommend if you don’t need an oven or living room it’s a wonderful property 30 min from Seward
