About this property

Inquire about weekly and monthly winter rates!

Sporting a fun Alaskan bush pilot theme, the Taildragger Inn sits nestled at the base of the Mt. Marathon. This one bedroom apartment is ideally located within walking distance of downtown Seward and the boat harbor. Hiking trails are just around the corner, including the renowned "runner's trail" up Mt. Marathon - Although connected to the main house, the apartment uses a separate entrance and does not share space with the owners, affording you privacy. The apartment is compact, yet meets all of your needs with a full kitchen, 3/4 bathroom, and bed space for four. After a long day adventuring around the Seward area, you can relax on the couch and enjoy a movie on Netflix or take in the long Alaskan daylight outside around the fire pit.

Our customers tell us they can't get enough of this guesthouse's great location. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Seward Waterfront Park.

Free WiFi
Within a 10-minute walk of Seward Waterfront Park and Seward Community Library & Museum

Quiet neighborhoodhood in town at the foot of Mt. Marathon offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

A warm, comfortable, clean and spacious property with a well equipped kitchen. It was lovely being able to sit outside on the terrace in the afternoon sun. Our only negative observation relates to movement noise from the upstairs property from around 5.30 in the morning (which might explain why the “quiet hours” for the apartment are shown as 11pm until 5.30 am).

Charming apartment in a great location

This apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It’s roomy for two people - bigger than most hotel rooms. It’s clean and has all the conveniences of a small home. Checkin is very easy as you receive the door code prior to your stay.

Taildragger Inn

The bed is so comfy! The coffee is great! Clean, outdoor porch with grill (if the weather was nicer I'd have used it) but winter just didn't allow for it. Jill and her hubby have done a great job decorating and making this a "go to" option in Seward. Thank you!

Perfect in every way!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cute and cozy unit set in a tranquil residential area. It was very walkable and super close to the free shuttle around town. This place is exceptionally clean and well appointed. A must mention is the quality of the bedding. I LOVE the sheets and other bedding. The bed was super comfy with great hotel style pillows. I had to untuck the sheets all around to find out the brand and am going to order them for my own bed!!! Jill was awesome. Super nice and communicative. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay. Bed was nice, good bedding, pillows, no squeaking! Limited tv options…. Netflix was all we could figure out. Walkable to town, and Mt Marathon trail head. We did Jeep trail which was pretty tough, but a great sense of accomplishment. Enjoyed Rockfish tacos at place in town, and Jdock fishing. Easy dealing with host. You can hear footsteps upstairs as you would in any 2 story dwelling, didn’t bother us at all.

Great Stay in Seward

Our stay was great! The property was clean and the decorations gave it a real Alaskan feel. Very close to lots of restaurants. The host was very friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond. The VRBO is part of an attached home so you will hear footsteps above you, but it was not too bad. Would stay here again!

Lovely Seward Apartment!

We loved our stay! It was perfect for the 2 of us. Clean, cozy & convenient! The property was located close to the harbor…we were able to walk there for our boat tour (~1/2 mile). The chilly weather during our visit was quickly dispelled by the great heater in the apartment. Highly recommend this Seward property!

Great Stay!

We highly recommend this property! The host is so accommodating. We had to change our dates and Jill was so easy to work with. We arrived early on our first day and as the cottage was available, our host let us check in early. This was great as we could settle in with all our stuff prior to exploring the area for the rest of the day. The cottage was perfect for our needs and well provisioned. It is in a great location...close to downtown area and also to the dock area where most tours leave from. It sits near Marathon mountain in a nice quiet spot. Book this place!

Lovely Place to Stay

This small place was exactly what was advertised. Host provided lots of good information about the local area (including restaurant recommendations). Nicely decorated, great location, and some pretty touches (flower baskets outside). We had a good time and would happily recommend it again.
