The Swan’s Nest was perfect for our trip to Seward. We had the corner room next to the dining area and it was very quiet. We had a view of Resurrection Bay and enjoyed watching the skies change. The breakfasts were outstanding. I will definitely recommend the Swan’s Nest for a stay in Seward.

Worth the steps!
You do have to wrestle your suitcase up
quite a few outside steps but there is plenty of room. It is worth the view from the dining area where a delightful breakfast was served. It is a cute, quaint place full of character. The hostesses was delightful.
She was friendly and fun to visit.
