Beautiful downtown Seward
We had a great stay. Breakfast was amazing and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Property is beautiful and the location is in downtown Seward, walking distance to shops and short drive to harbor, but still quiet at night. We will stay there again when we visit Seward again.

Very Pleasant Experience!
Northern Lights was wonderful! We would absolutely stay here again. Sarah was a tremendous host and cooked a great breakfast each morning :). The room was clean, had everything that we needed, and very comfortable. The location is excellent, easy to find and had parking directly in front of the bed and breakfast. It made our time in Seward very enjoyable!
