"Destination Wedding Vacation”
5 of 5 starsReviewed July 10, 2013
My husband, son, and I traveled from Massachusetts for a wedding in Seward, AK on June 29, 2013. We stayed in Cabin 1- The Bear! It was so clean and cozy. My son loved the loft! Thank god the Cabin provided us an iron for our clothes for the wedding. Also, they provide DVD's, (no local TV stations) a coffee maker, fresh towels, plenty of hot water for showers, and soft beds. We were within walking to the shore where we did some fishing, kayaking, and attended a beautiful wedding! The views were breathtaking! Friends at the wedding stayed at other local cabins and we heard complaints of musty smells, outdated furniture, or uncomfortable beds. We were fortunate that we selected Serenity by the Sea---if we ever visit Seward again, we'll stay here!!! Highly recommend!!!

2014 Season is Almost Here!
We are so excited to get this season under way.
We will be doing some updates on one of the cabins and can't wait to show it to you.
We have our shopping list ready and just need to place an order and do the shopping and then the crew (Thom and Uncle Bill) can get started on the updates.
The yard is getting a little update too!
We're always looking for ways to improve on your Alaska Experience while you stay with us. :)
I can hardly wait to post photo's of the updates, but alas that won't be until May.
Book early so you don't miss out on staying with us.

Happy Thanksgiving!
We would like to wish all of you (that celebrate it), a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow. We are very thankful for the opportunities that our cabins and Alaska have provided us. Including the chance to meet so many great guests and make some new friends. Enjoy your time with family, friends, and of course all that great food!

Climbing Mount Marathon
 |
| 'Jeep Trail' Trailhead |
This weekend we had an opportunity to take advantage of a clear morning to hike Seward's iconic Mount Marathon. Home to one of North America's longest running foot races, Marathon beckons to hikers as it looms high over Seward. The trail isn't for the weak hearted (or legged) as it climb's 3022 feet in just under two miles, and descends much the same. If you're game for straight up hiking, awesome views and straight down scrambling Mount Marathon is an epic hike.

*Hiking Mt. Marathon is very challenging. The terrain is STEEP and the trails are unmarked and can be hard to follow. Always hike with a partner, a cell phone, appropriate clothing and a first aid kit.

Thunder or a Glacier?
This is
AIALIK GLACIER
Recently while in SW Wisconsin a thunder storm rolled through. There was thunder and lightening everywhere. I love a good storm, the sounds the sights, the smells and how everything looks just a little bit greener afterwards.
You may not know this but in the Seward area rarely if ever do we get to experience a thunder storm.
You're probably asking yourself what a glacier has to do with any of this?
When you experience the majesty of the glaciers close your eyes and listen. The sound a glacier makes with it creaking and cracking sounds very much like thunder.
When I am viewing a glacier I can close my eyes and imagine I am in a thunder storm and when I am viewing a thunder storm I can close my eyes and imagine I'm in Alaska sitting on a boat or in a kayak in front of a glacier.
