Heavenly Lodging in Seward Alaska

Alaska Visitor Seasons Seward Alaska

Alaska has several distinct Visitor Seasons! Here's what to expect: The most popular time to visit Alaska are the months of June, July and August; often referred to as Summer or Peak Season. There are Shoulder Seasons for portions of May and September, when you'll find reduced rates on things such as lodging, and almost, (but not all) visitor services and activities are available during this time. The Off-Season, generally October through April, will provide you with a much quieter experience of our great State. Not very many services will be available, but the quiet pace is perfect if you're looking to really relax and commune with Mother Nature, or if you are looking for a healing retreat! Whale watching starts in April with the Humpback and Grey whale migration, and continues throughout the summer. No matter what the season, be sure to give yourself time to experience some heavenly relaxation in our very special cabins with spectacular wildlife and scenery surrounding them. Just south of Seward, Alaska, on the shores of Resurrection Bay, on the Kenai Peninsula.

Off-Season March & April

Shoulder Seasons

Summer Season

During the months of March and April you'll experience shorter days, lots of wildlife, great hiking, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing, depending on the weather and trail conditions, and amazing photo opportunities.

Temperatures will generally vary from the 40-50s to the 20s F. It can be extremely windy and it may rain or snow. Resurrection Bay is an ice-free port and the Seward Highway remains open year round and is well maintained, however icy conditions can be the norm even in March. Rental cars with studded tires are recommended, as are ice cleats for all visits until May.

Whale watching begins in APRIL and continues throughout the summer.

Seward is a charming town year round and has many wonderful shops and several excellent restaurants that stay open year round, in addition to the Alaska SeaLife Center and the Seward Museum. Depending on the specific time of year, there are boat tours of the Bay, and/or whale watching tours available (weather permitting).

If you want to experience Alaska as we Alaskans do, it's the best season to visit; March and April can be quite mild and very enjoyable.

During our shoulder seasons, which are May 1-15 and Sept 16 -30, you'll experience long days of sunlight (longer days in May), lots of wildlife, great hiking and amazing photo opportunities. Limited fishing and boat tours may be available (weather permitting).

Temperatures will generally range from the 50s to the high 30sF. It may rain; and in May there may be snow on the ground in some areas.

There will be fewer tour & fishing options to choose from, and some shops and restaurants will be closed.

If you want to experience Alaska, and take advantage of most tourist offerings, often at reduced rates, but avoid the "crowds" the shoulder seasons are the perfect time to visit. Many Alaskans travel during these seasons.

During the summer season Mid-May to Mid-September, you'll experience extremely long days of sunlight, lots and lots of flowers (later in summer is best), lots of wildlife, great hiking, amazing photo opportunities, and a long, long list of available activities including: dog sledding, flight-seeing, sea kayaking, glacier viewing, Kenai Fjords National Park boat tours, fishing, and hiking.

Since these are the most popular months amongst travelers, you'll also experience more fellow travelers than during the other seasons.

It's important to be sure you have your lodging pre-booked and as far in advance as you can to get the best places.

Temperatures will range generally range from the 70s to the 40sF. It may rain.

There are so many things to do in Seward, Alaska and the surrounding area, from simple wildlife watching and hiking to boat tours into the Kenai Fjords National Park to see glaciers and wildlife, that we encourage you to stay at least 3 nights so that you can take advantage of the numerous activities that make Seward such a special place to visit. The mountains surrounding Resurrection Bay provide spectacular scenery and they are alive with wildlife, as is the bay itself. The wildlife of the area includes bald eagles, bear (both black and brown), mountain goats, dall sheep, sea lions, dall porpoise, harbor seal, sea otters, humpback whales, sea birds & ducks too numerous to list! Seward itself is a charming town with two distinct areas of enjoyment. Downtown Seward offers a number of special businesses. The Seward Small Boat Harbor is a delightful place to walk around on a nice day (with an ice cream cone from the Harbor Creamery, if you like!), and the Alaska SeaLife Center and Seward Museum, or any of several coffee shops, are perfect places to spend a rainy afternoon. Since all of our waterfront lodging accommodations (cabins, view rooms) have kitchenettes, you won't have to eat all your meals out, but when you want to, there are a number of excellent restaurants in Seward Alaska. If you've never stayed in a small "ma & pa" accommodation, or if you normally stay in a hotel or motel, or bed and breakfast, you'll want to come stay with us and experience something special! We'd love to have you as our guests; we'll do everything we can to make sure you have a comfortable stay!
