Bear Lake Lodgings B&B, Inc

We stayed in the ‘Lakeside Suite’ for 2 nights. Comfortable and spacious accommodations, our private bathroom was just steps away. Delicious homemade breakfasts were served upstairs with amazing views of the lake and mountains. Highly recommend a stay at this warm and friendly B&B, tucked away a few minutes from downtown Seward.

A very nice lodge on a beautiful lake. Quiet location and comfortable bed. Great accommodation with very friendly host. Bre and Shannon were awesome! Would recommend this lodge to anyone needing accommodation in Seward.

We had a wonderful cozy and warm stay at Bear Lake Lodge!!! The atmosphere was inviting and peaceful, making it the perfect escape. The homemade waffles, apple sourdough bread, sausage & coffee was a highlight of our morning! Our son caught fish right off the dock! A memorable and heartwarming stay for the whole family!!!!

I stayed with a group of girlfriends and we had a wonderful experience! The lodge is clean and cozy, the food was delicious and the view of the lake breathtaking. The hosts welcomed us and made us feel right at home. I’ve also stayed here in September and enjoyed paddling in the lake. A must stop (any time of year) if you’re headed to Seward!!

I ended up visiting Alaska on the off season and was searching for places to stay when I saw this place. I only got to stay for 2 nights but wished I could've stayed longer! Pat was there to greet me once I got there and I met Dennis later on in the day. I ended up being the only one at the B&B for those 2 nights because it was before the tourist season starts. Since I was the only one there Pat was so accommodating to what time I would want breakfast and also went over all the places that were open for this in-between time of year. The room was very nice and clean. The bathroom was down the hall but I don't think you'd normally see many people in that hallway since I stayed in the lakeside sweet and it is the only room on that floor. The room was also made up after I left for the day and came back. I had a tour with Kenai Fjords (FYI they have a discount if you book through the B&B) and Pat lent me a rain coat, hand warmers and some gloves. They were very useful as it got very cold and rainy out there. I would love to stay there again, maybe in the summer next time! Also to try that ice cream :)

It is true that not many activities are available in wintertime at Seward; however, we do enjoy our stay at Bear Lake Lodging, it is joyful and peaceful. Pat is very welcoming, considerate and with great humor. She always explains to us in great detail: what to do and what to eat. And even has a booklet that contains almost every restaurant’s menu and maps of different trails. Pat joked about the “crappy snow” because there wasn’t much of snow and my name is Snow. (That’s a good one, I must admit) The house feels like home and we are like a family. Pat is an amazing lady! She reminds Michelle of her host mother in Minnesota: they are both very warm-hearted, humorous and good at making great food! On the second day of our staying, Michelle was “out of control” and had 3 waffles that morning because it was the best waffle ever! (Although we have been to Belgium and ate their waffle, she still prefers Pat's homemade!) Moreover, Pat is a lovely mother and grandmother; the story she shared with us about her son's marriage and the miss of her university commencement were really touched - it made us feel bonded with her life. Such emotional connection is a precious experience you won't get from staying in a hotel or an inn or from simply be at the scenic, though it is an indispensable part for a meaningful trip! So don't miss the experience! PS: the bed upstairs is super cozy and comfortable; we haven’t have that much of a good sleep in these days.
