The 1905 Government. cable Office: Historic Charm, views, location Downtown

Excellent location!!! Comfy beds except for pullout.

Great location near waterfront walkway and historic downtown.

We loved the historical touches throughout the house. We were very comfortable as a group of 6 and the house had everything we needed. Sebastian went above and beyond to accommodate us and was easy to communicate with. The house is in a great downtown location and only a block away from the waterfront. The free community shuttle bus made it easy to get around. Would highly recommend visiting Seward by train!

Wonderful property! Warm, cozy and fun. Great location and easily walkable to do many things. Highly recommend.

Loved the charm of the historic building. Great location. Host was awesome!

This was our second stay at the property. Our first was the upstairs unit and this time we stayed in the downstairs unit. The owner is great at making sure you have everything you need or could have forgotten at home from coffee to cotton swabs to shampoo and conditioner. The property is very clean and welcoming. It is a historical house so yes there are creaky floors and antiques, but that is what gives it the lovely character. The beds were comfy and there was always hot water! We will definitely opt to book this place in future trips to Seward!!

Great downtown Seward location. Fun historic house! Well done and comfy!

Check-in was easy, it was clean and well stocked. We were close enough to walk downtown which I greatly appreciated! The view of the bay was an added bonus!

Very rustic, great to walk everywhere. Enjoyed our stay.

Well-equipped kitchen. New coolers were available to take lunches on fishing boat.

Nicely kept historic house. Loved everything except the heat. Fans were available and that helped make it comfortable. Overall a good stay.

I loved the place. The owner has done a lot to keep with the historic theme. Yes the floors creak but considering the house was built in 1905 it is in good condition. Bathrooms are redone and new. Walking distant to many food and shopping options. If/when we return we would book again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Telegraph House. The house has so much early Seward history and is filled with many antiques. It is beautifully restored. We immediately liked the house as soon as we walked in the door. The house is located two blocks from the water and two blocks from the downtown area. Most of the shops and restaurants are within walking distance, as well as the Sea Life Center.Check in was easy. The communication with the owner before and during our stay was excellent.

The property is amazing. The recently renovated property was well done and it was tastefully decorated. Lots of antiques and history to catch your interest. Bed was comfy. Clean. Roomy. Check in and out was simple with clear instructions. The Host was on top of everything. Centrally located. Just perfect. I would certainly look to book this again the next visit.

The property is centrally located and convenient to many Seward attractions restaurants and gift shops. The view is awesome.

Nice location and well supplied. Sebastien, the caretaker, was easy to communicate with.

TLDR: would absolutely stay again.People often give ST rentals a hard time, but while staying here, I got to thinking about how, if it wasn't a STR, this gem of historic charm would be lost. It's perfect as something different for a couple of nights or a week, but not something many people would keep as it is if they were living there permanently. Which would be a real shame.Communication in advance was great, access was easy, and the location is beautiful overlooking the water. Beds were comfortable, with plentiful bedding. We didn't make use of the kitchen, but everything you'd need seemed to be there.Things to be aware of in terms of layout - the back bedroom has a step down into it, so that one is not ideal for anyone with mobility issues. The front bedroom is the one with the en-suite.Sebastien, the caretaker, was wonderful. He texted to check in on our first of two mornings there, and then when we got back that evening, he'd left a laundry basket full of additional clean blankets and a ziplock of assorted taffy between our two access doors (inside the property, but not inside our unit), with a sweet note to say sorry the weather had turned, but hopefully the taffy would make up for it! (We thought the weather was fine actually - it had started drizzling around lunchtime but exactly in line with the forecast and what you'd expect from Alaska). These are the sorts of little gestures that go a long way.100% recommendation.

My kid's and I had such a wonderful time staying at this cozy, historical home. The host is so wonderful. Great communication and super easy check in process. The home is tucked into a cute neighborhood which is right by the Sealife Center and ocean views. My kids loved that we could walk down the street to the park and skate park! The airbnb had everything we needed which always makes life with kids easy. I enjoyed the history of the home and the photo album of the home and it's journey. We are definitely coming back. P.S. The beds are very comfortable!

Located downtown close to restaurants, shops, and two of the free shuttle stops. The waterfront walking trail and Sealife Center were only 2 blocks away. The free shuttle takes you to the harbor or train station or it is an easy 30 minute walk. The house was well-stocked and the layout was great. Communication was easy and the responses were quick. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again if we are in the area.

The 1905 Government Cable Office - Self check-in was very easy. The apartment is in a great location within walking distance of the historic Downtown and SeaLife Center. It was very comfortable but could definitely use a little general sprucing up - new pillows and bedding perhaps along with a bit of a kitchen tweak. We had an issue with the hot water and it was attended to immediately. Contact with the owner was excellent.

House has been tenerly restored and is close to most things. Unfortunately, upon arrival it was lacking in sheets and pillow covers for the pullout and there was no bath soap in one bathroom and almost out in the other. These were eventually rectified. There also was no dish washing soap in the kitchen which is a first for all of the VRBO stays we have had. Guests must enter through back doors as no combo lock in front...a slight inconvenience but possibly due to historic significance.

Property was great! Location is convenient to downtown, harbor and beautiful views of Resurrection Bay. Free shuttles available to get you around downtown area during certain times, but if you need to be somewhere at a specific time or very early, you need your own transportation. Especially if you have people in your party not able to walk distances easily. Only two complaints about the property. 1.) miscommunication regarding check in which resulted in our party having to spend about 3 and 1/2 hours walking downtown after traveling all night because property was not ready and messages sent regarding early check in and arrival information were not answered. 2.) Sharing a hot water heater with above unit often resulted in no hot water for showers or very limited. The historic charm of the house is delightful and the views from the front porch can make you forget all other concerns.

The property location was great, super cool historic house in town. Close to the harbor, town, and national park. House has all the supplies you need. Host was responsive to questions during our stay. A great place to stay in Seward.

We had a wonderful time in Seward, and this property was the perfect place to stay. The views from the front porch are amazing! A well stocked kitchen made cooking easy. There’s a good market in town - very convenient! The hosts are accessible and friendly. What a blessing!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cable House. Plenty of room for 4 people. Tanguy & Sebastian were very responsive. Shower had lots of hot water with pressure. Bedding was very comfortable. Full well equipped kitchen. House overlooks the water and is only 2 blocks from the main street. Unfortunately it rained our entire time there. Would have enjoyed sitting on the front porch. Really liked all the historical information displayed regarding the Cable House. Also Tanguy had an antique iron which was made at Colebrookdale Iron Works, Boyertown, PA which is around 15 minutes from our home in Pennsylvania. Learned that the iron was his wife’s grandmothers. Heat is radiator heat so was nice and toasty.
