This is one cozy den you will have a hard time leaving. I love the proximity to the harbor to catch our Major Marine 7 1/2 Fjord and Glacier Tour and for after dinner walks. ||It is less than 2 miles to Downtown so walkable or a less than 5 minute drive. It is also centrally located to Two Lakes Park for a quick hike while away from the busier area making it a nice quiet spot to hibernate for the night or a nap. Love those little bear themed touches throughout. ||We stayed in the upper den with a view of the harbor and a patio that you can enjoy your breakfast or takeout. Super spacious especially for just two as it can easily accommodate a family of 4 with its two beds. The kitchenette with a mini fridge and microwave means you can bring back your leftovers or get takeout.

We stayed in the upper level apartment that looked out at the mountains. Yes, it looks over a convenience store rooftop but you don’t even notice that, as the view beyond is of the gorgeous mountains on the other side of Resurrection Bay. The lodging is within a 2-minute drive to the waterfront and would be a very easy walk too; the downtown area and SeaLife Center are not much further, so very convenient. Two convenience stores and a Safeway grocery are within a stone’s throw (easily walkable-2 blocks most). Lots of eateries on the waterfront. (Avoid “Ray’s”!)||The Suite had two queen beds, a four-seat bar-height dining table, a kitchenette complete with mini fridge, coffee maker, microwave, plates, glasses, utensils, etc…everything we needed. A sofa and two extremely comfortable recliners face a large flat-screen TV; for this we were very grateful as we had some poor weather that kept us inside a good amount of time. When the weather improved, we were able to enjoy the nice deck, furnished with a patio table and four chairs.||The decor of the Suite kept to the “bears” theme and was very tastefully done. So cozy and aesthetically pleasing. In fact, we liked one of the framed prints so much, we contacted the artist and bought one for our own home! The heat worked well (was silent!) and there were blackout shades on all the windows to block out the late night daylight of the summer. No complaints about the shower pressure or the size of the bathroom; plenty roomy enough. Very nice that a hairdryer was provided as I hadn’t brought one. Plenty of clean towels under the sink, hooks to hang them near the shower. Honestly, the host, Shari, thought of everything when she put this place together! Everything was spotless when we arrived and it was a nice touch that coffee (regular and decaf), sugar and creamer were provided.||I doubt I will have an opportunity to visit Seward again, but if I do, I will call Shari and stay at Bears Den!

We actually stayed at Bears Den in August 2023 (with TA only allowing us to choose Sept for the review at this point) -- and while I've procrastinated in writing this review, it's not because it wasn't wonderful ... because it was. Our family of three had a delightful, comfortable stay in Den 3 and Shari and her husband could not have been accommodating and kind. Heartily recommend!

Just got back from spending two nights in Seward. Bears Den was perfect for our 7 adults and a baby. We had five adults in Den 3; two adults and the baby were in Den 2. We had ample room in Den 3 for all of us to meet to play cards. The dens are charmingly decorated in all things bear. We found the rooms clean and all our needs were met. The hosts are very responsive and even let us know when there were bears in the neighborhood. We had vehicles but occasionally we would walk to town. There is a path that goes under the road that is easy to walk to get to and from the harbor part of town. There were fresh cookies on the counter when we arrived that we promptly inhaled - we all agreed they were a delicious touch! Plenty of linen available, tableware was enough, the rooms were comfortable as were the beds. I guess the queen bed in den 2 can be s little creeky, I don’t think it woke up the baby but the parents were concerned. |I found the price very reasonable for the facility. We were going to try another place that was a third of the price, but after reading the current reviews, we cancelled and tried Bears Den. We are all glad we switched. I would highly recommend this place for anyone traveling to Seward. It was almost like home, but I didn’t have to clean.

Great choice of lodging in Seward for our family group of 7. We stayed in Den1 and Den 2. With a connecting inside stairway, it was perfect for our group. The hosts are very responsive and helped answer several questions about activities in town. Both dens were exceptionally clean and well stocked. Room darkening shades allowed us to get some sleep even though the sun sets late and rises early in the Summer in Alaska. Beds were comfortable the location was great. We were able to walk to the nearest free shuttle stop and basically go anywhere in town that we needed to. Also walked to dinner one evening. There are good walking paths and a pedestrian tunnel to get across the main road into and out of town. You won't be disappointed if you stay at the Bear's Den.

We were looking for something with 3 bedrooms and a good price and Bear Den 3 was the perfect choice! Super clean and very well decorated. Nice sized kitchen table and fully stocked kitchen. Stove was on the smaller size but worked for our large pizza we got from the Safeway (we got to town after the restaurant’s all closed). The Den had everything we needed for our stay. Very close to all the activities in town….u could walk if you wanted to. Also, highly recommend doing one of the boat tours to the Kenai Fjords!

On arrival in Seward by train we walked the 500 yards to the Bears Den. We were impressed by Den 2 with its spacious living room including full size dining table and comfrotable bed in the adjacent bedroom. We made good use of the coffee maker but didn't need to use the fridge or microwave. The Den provided the perfect home from home for our two night stay. On our departure Shari kindly offered to take us to the cruise ship terminal.

We LOVED the Bears Den #3! Shari was an amazing Hostess. She went above and beyond. The Den was immaculate, huge and had everything we needed. It was walking distance to the Free Shuttle and several stores. So glad the Hotel 360 was booked and we found the Bears Den!! We would only stay here if we get to Seward again! Thanks Shari for all your recommendations and sharing your LOVELY Den with us!!! |Suzanne & Andy.
