My wife Jennifer and I chose this spot on Trail River because of its incredible beauty. Trail River Gardens is located just 20 min from Seward in the heart of the Chugach mountains on beautiful Trail River. From our deck the river is just 50 feet away with the majestic Mount Madison as a back drop. There are lakes above and below us with mountains on all sides. You can walk to hiking trails to even more mountain lakes. If you like to hike and watch birds and other wildlife, then you will loveit here at Trail River gardens.

    This cottage was a quiet and peaceful spot right next to a beautiful river. It is an easy 40 minute access to Seward. The cottage was well equipped and the owners made us feel very welcome. It was a wonderful stay for our first time in Alaska.

    The cabin was so nice! The beds were comfortable and it was super clean. It did not have a living area which I was expecting. And the WiFi wasn’t reliable. The wrap around porch was lovely and it was situated next to the river and there were lots of birds. The location was wonderful, about 30 minutes north of Seward. The eat in kitchen worked for us, but it was small and there wasn’t much room for food prep. No stovetop but there was a heating element for pots and a microwave.

    The property is located on a beautiful River. We enjoyed watching the birds at the bird feeder. On our departure we saw a moose in the river like other visitors have seen. Everything was great. Three bathrooms was a plus. One minor issue that I just couldn’t solve….the WiFi worked on two Apple devices but none of the android devices. Obviously it was working for Apple devices so not the host’s issue. Thank you for your hospitality.

    This place was comfortable. It has three bedrooms with their own bathrooms. No living room area so we had to sit around at the kitchen table after our day out. Also there really was no access to the water for fishing which is the only reason I rented this place. Even though they couldn't fish my husband said this was his favorite place. We did enjoy a fire at the fire pit.

    We stayed here in July. We had a family of six and it was ample room for everybody. The view is amazing. Our kids enjoyed the setting immensely and couldn’t stop talking about it. Everyone enjoyed the setting, and visit.

    The photos don’t do this justice. It’s beautifully located on the river bank. Very peaceful with a short drive to Seward town.The property was really clean and comfortable.It was lovely to light the fire pit in the evening and cook jacket potatoes and steaks…

    Clean cabin with plenty of beds and bathrooms with great outdoor space along the river. The only down side was a lack of indoor living area, as the eat-in kitchen was the only indoor common space. Hosts were friendly and generous, sharing staples, offering bear spray and lots of board games & books. Location is convenient to Seward and local attractions.

    We had a great stay at Russ's place located on a beautiful river about a half hour outside Seward. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean. Although there is no stove (we knew that from the listing), we figured out the hot plate and it was fine for our purposes of cooking breakfast. The rest of the kitchen was well equipped. Russ was very communicative and very nicely agreed to send an item that we accidentally left in one of the rooms. We loved our time there!

    We stayed two nights at the property and enjoyed it very much. The three bedrooms worked perfectly for us and our two adult children. The location was amazing - right on the Trail River. We enjoyed waking up on the river, and on the second morning, saw a bald eagle flying over the river.

    This home is located with a nice view of the river about 75yds away. We had campfires near the river with suppled wood. Cooked on the grill and hot plate (note there is no stove). The manager lives next door and checked on us to make sure all was ok. Wish our stay was longer!

    **Peaceful River Retreat – Perfect Getaway!**We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The home is nestled right along the river, offering beautiful views and a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. It was exactly the relaxing escape we were looking for. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable, both indoors and out. The house was clean, well-equipped, and felt very welcoming. We especially loved sitting outside in the mornings and evenings, listening to the water and enjoying the natural surroundings. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a calm, scenic place to unwind!
