Welcome to Aurora Skies Lodging!!

The Australis Cabin is close to Lost Lake Trailhead and family-friendly activities. A hidden gem just three miles outside of Seward city limits. You’ll love it because of the high ceilings, the kitchen, the open floor plan, the comfy beds, and the coziness. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families.

One of two beautiful little loft cabins nestled just off of a dirt road in the mountains about three milesoutside of Seward city limits.

There is a full kitchen with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, and coffee pot. We offer a wireless sound system, complementary wifi and a 40 smart TV. The cabin also includes a Bar-B-Q grill on the back porch for outdoor grilling and a fire-pit for roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories. Please bring your own firewood for the fire pit and charcoal for grilling.

The cabin sleeps 3-6 in three queen sized beds. Be advised that two of the beds are located in the loft of the cabin. In order to access the loft one must climb a ladder like staircase. The third bed is on the first floor for those guests who are squeamish about heights. There are three queen beds in all. We ask that the host provide an accurate guest count at booking so that we may provide the appropriate amenities for each guest. Unfortunately, we can not host parties larger than 6 and pets are not allowed on the property.

The cabin is one of two identical cabins on our property. Your neighbor is also a guest of ours. Please be respectful of their stay by keeping late night noises to a minimum.

**Please note that the fire pit is subject to availability in winter months due to possibility of heavy snow.

We are located just off the Seward Hwy on a dirt road that is well maintained by the city of Seward during all four seasons.

There is private parking available for up to three vehicles next to your cabin. You are welcome to park a snow-machine trailer or small boat, but doing so will count as one of the three vehicles. Please allow plenty of room for the guests staying in the cabin next to yours to park and exit the driveway at all times. No RV parking or tent camping on the property.

The cabin is located just 1/4 mile from the Lost Lake Trailhead! Cross-country skiing, biking, and hiking is allowed on the shoulder of the road. Snow-machining to the trailhead from the cabin is also permitted. **Please note, there is not a private off-road trail from the cabin for skiing, hiking, biking, or snow-machining to the trailhead.

Other things to note;

SECURITY SYSTEM
The cabin has an active “Ring Doorbell” for securing the safety of our guests and property. The system is located to the left of the front door under the porch light and provides the owners a view of the front porch and driveway with audio.

EARLY CHECK-IN
Due to increased cleaning protocols we are unable to promise checkin times before 4:00 pm. Request for an early check-in must be communicated with the host through direct message only. Upon request, we are happy to let you know as soon as your cabin is ready on the day of your arrival.

CRIB/HIGHCHAIR REQUEST
If you would like to make use of our travel crib or highchair please request it before you arrive so that we can make sure it is in the cabin at check-in. Storage in the cabin is limited so we keep these items off site until needed.

WATER USAGE:
Your cabin uses a private well and septic system. Please conserve water whenever possible and never flush anything other than toilet paper.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Aurora Skies. It was tucked away far enough to feel remote but was easily accessible to the highway and the town of Seward. It was so nice to come back each night to a clean, warm & cozy cabin after exploring in the rain every day. I highly recommend these cabins to anyone visiting the Seward area.

    Cozy cabin, smaller than photos suggest, really a studio with a loft, but very clean and comfortable. Nice information about local activities and resting, and the chocolates and fresh eggs were a lovely touch. Would want a washer/dryer for longer than a few days stay here.

    Overall, our stay was good. It is not a big cabin but fit the three of us well. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. It is surrounded by trees so unable to view the mountains/water; however, so peaceful at the cabin. It is a short drive into Seward. We did not cook any meals but the kitchen did have some basic supplies. You have to handwash dishes since there is no dishwasher. There are 3 Queen beds with 2 of them up in the loft. The stairs leading up into the loft are well-built and steep. I was a little nervous climbing them but our teenage son was fine. When checking in, you will get the access code about one hour prior to check-in via the VRBO inbox. We would stay there again if visiting Seward.

    Cabin was tucked away in the woods and was great for our short stay. Great communication with the owner and there is a fire pit outside. There are few options when staying in Seward so this is a nice alternative to hotels. Probably best suited to shorter stays.

    First of all - most comfortable beds ever!! Easy check in/out procedures. Great, quiet location - quick, easy access to the highway but set back in the woods just enough for that 'up north' feel! The cabin is cozy but has everything you need! It was one of our favorite places we stayed while in Alaska! Would highly recommend!
