The room is small but can accommodate a family of four or five. Room is clean and has many hooks and shelves and storage areas. Big common dining area has great views, big kitchen for cooking if you want to. Owner Sarah let me waiting for my family in the common area after checking out, which I really appreciate. Also, the made on demand breakfast is great too.

We LOVED our stay and would 100% come back. The location was ideal and central. The staff was always friendly and helpful. The made to order breakfast was great and we loved the personal touches of fresh sourdough goodies. The room was very clean and the common areas were spacious and clean as well.

The breakfast options were great. Friendly staff. Homemade breads fabulous. When they say the loft is small and meant for kids, believe them. But it worked out for my family even though my kids are grown. The sleeping loft created a family memory. =)

2 adults with 2 teens. We had a loft for the boys that worked well. Good breakfast. No A/C. Eclectic older place. Worked out well. Bags do have to go up stairs. Walkable to the heart of Sewart.

The hotel was a quaint and charming property located close to many attractions and nice restaurants in Seward. The place was very clean and well equipped. There is a shared kitchen which you can use to heat up or make simple meals. The beds are very comfortable. We had to check out very early before breakfast time, and the host was kind enough to pack breakfast for us before we left. Would recommend the place !

I really liked the staff and it felt very homey, but the room was very tiny with nowhere to sit. The common area was next to our room, which felt a bit awkward hearing people’s conversations through the door.

Our room was tiny, but very cute and eclectic. The only problem we had is we were there during a time when light ran laid into the evening and quite a bit of light came in around the shades. We ended up getting up in the middle of night and finding masking tape in a drawer and taping a blanket to the window so we could sleep.
