Angels Rest on Resurrection Bay
Heavenly Lodging in Seward Alaska
| Meet Your Hosts ~ Angels Rest on Resurrection Bay is managed by Paul and Lynda, who have almost 50 years of Alaska living between them. Not only are the cabins that they provide the best around, they care deeply about your Alaska experience and will do everything in their powers to ensure you have as delightful a stay in Seward as is possible. |
 Lynda, a native New Yorker living in Michigan at the time, packed up and moved to Alaska in 1997, specifically to establish this business. Although she had been successful in several different careers, she had always dreamed of having a business of her own. Then, after several close calls health wise, she came to the realization that life is short; better to build your dreams now rather than just dream about them in some distant future. So, fulfilling her own dream of 20 years, she came to Alaska in March of 1997 to find a new home and start a business where she could share her appreciation of life with others. When she found the land on Beach Drive, on Lowell Point, she knew instantly she was meant to settle here. To her, if there were a place where angelic beings came to rest and play; it would be here, on the shores of Resurrection Bay, one of the most beautiful places in the entire world. Hence the name of the business came to be. In the summer of 1998, based upon neighbors' glowing recommendations, she hired her Lowell Point neighbor Paul H. Paquette, to build the first cabin for the business, which would serve as the office, and Lynda's residence. Paul, originally from Massachusetts, moved to Alaska in the early 1970s as a young man. He is known throughout Alaska as a talented cedar shingle artist and Lynda was extremely excited that he consented to take on her cabin project. As in a fairy tale, and completely surprising both of them, they fell in love in the process of Lynda's cabin being built. Paul completed the first guest cabin, the Wing Cabin, in the early summer of 1999; their first guest was in July of that year. They were married in December of 2001. In May of 2003 the Hobbit Loft opened, and in May of 2004 the newest cabin, the Gatehouse Cabin opened to glowing reviews. During the summer of 2004, Lynda retired from working for others (she'd been managing a 39 unit hotel for a number of years), and has been able to dedicate herself entirely to her and her husband's businesses. During the winter of 2006-2007 Paul has completely re-modeled the downstairs portion of the Hobbit Loft Cabin. In April, the new Angels Rest on Resurrection Bay OFFICE will open. This will enable Lynda and Paul to give their guests even more personal service. It will also facilitate the ability for guests to meet their hosts, which in the past has not been as easy since the cabins were "self-check-in." There will also be a small gift shop, which they hope to fill with Actually Alaskan items, including their own crafts. Since retiring from working for others, Lynda is now able to offer her guests much more assistance in planning their Alaskan vacations, particularly their Seward stay, and has plans to expand her services to include other regions in Alaska. Her reservation services save visitors money and help ensure they have the best time possible by helping guests find the best tour or vendor to match their interests! Here is some information about both Lynda and Paul, and their arts. |
| Paul is, among his many skills, an extremely talented builder and carpenter. Paul is best known for his Silhouette Shingles and his unique artwork adorns numerous homes and businesses all around Seward and Lowell Point, and can be seen on the way to Denali, and in the Fairbanks area. Each of the Angels Rest on Resurrection Bay Cabins are adorned with his unique shingle artwork outside and offer unusual and creative touches throughout the insides.
| Lynda is an award winning photographer and stained glass artist. All of the photos seen in the web site here and at Silhouette Shingles were taken by Lynda (unless otherwise noted). Lynda is also developing a new Actually Alaskan gift shop to include other local artists' wares in addition to her photographs, stained glass and handiwork. Angel Rest's Actually Alaskan gift shop also offers a line of Angels Rest souvenirs. Lynda created this stained glass hanging panel when she still lived in the mid-west. Now, it's very similar to the view out Paul and Lynda's windows. Funny how that worked out!
